HONEYMOONERS IN VIRGINIA HILLS [Continued From First Page.] ity to Indulge her fondness for walking with the President. Numerous motor trips have also been planned by the couple, two White House automobiles having been shipped here for their use. Many Messages Congratulatory messages from al most every part of the world continued to reach the President and his bride to-day. Many of them will be per sonally answered from here. The President plans to attend to only the most pressing public business during his stay here, but he will keep in di rect telephonic communication with Secretary of State Lansing and other officials. President Wilson arose shortly after 7 a. m. to-day and after breakfasting in his private apartments began the task of clearing up the volume of ac cumulated personal correspondence in order that he and his bride might later play golf. The President called in his private stenographer and dic tated responses to messages of con gratulations received from rulers in Europe, South and Central America, and from personal friends in this country. The day was ideal for golfing and the President and his bride had arranged to stfend several hours on the links. President Wilson .and his bride ar rived here shortly after 9 o'clock yes terday morning to spend their honey moon. They we're met at the station by several hundred persons, who ap plauded as they alighted from their private car. An automobile took the couple Immediately to their hotel. Hot Springs and its colony of visitors welcomed the President and his rbide enthusiastically. When the crowd be gan applauding at the station the President and Mrs. Wilson appeared to be just as nervous as any newly-mar ried pair. They smiled at each other and at the crowd and the President raised his hat. Then they walked briskly to a White House automobile, which had been shipped ahead for their use. The President and Mrs. "Wilson oc cupy four rooms in a section of the hotel set apart especially for them. No other guests will be given rooms near them. The suite is on the third floor and porches outside the windows over look the golf links. The suite has a dining room and the couple expect to have all their ineals served privately. Trials of the seclusion seekers be gan to-day with the arrival of a corps of photographers and moving picture operators. The President has directed that no pictures be taken of Mrs. Wil son or himself during the trip, and the order is being enforced by the usual group of White House Secret Service agents, augmented by several addi tional men ordered here from their regular stations to aid in guarding the couple. After some skirmishing to day the photographers declared a truce, but sal- 1 they would try for pic tures later. Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Gait Are "Very Quietly" Married at Home of the Bride Washington. D. C., Dec. 20.—Mrs. Edith Boiling Gait and Woodrow Wil-' son. President of the United States, were married In the drawing room of Mrs. Gait's residence, 1308 Twentieth stret. at 8.30 o'clock Saturday evening. A Quiet Ceremony Simplicity was the keynote of the ceremony, tempered by a certain old fashioned homeliness In keeping with the traditions of the famous Boiling family of Virginia, of which Mrs. Gait Is a member. Shortly after 8 o'clock the little company, immediate relatives of the bride and bridegroom and two or three close friends —about thirty in all— who were to witness the ceremony, gathered in the drawing room to await the coming of the bridal couple. At the striking of the half hour by a clock in the adjoining room the bride'•? mother. Mrs. William H. Boiling, en tered the room with one of her sons. No Best Man Nor Bridesmaids She was followed by the officiating clergymen, the Rev. Herbert Scott Smith, rector of St. Margaret's Epis copal Church, of which Mrs. Gait is a member, and the Rev. James H. Tay lor. pastor of the President's church, the Central Presbyterian. They took their stands in the bay window, facing the room from behind a prle dleu and presenting a picturesque contrast, the one In his black coat, the other garbed In the Episcopal surplice and stole. Then the President, his bride upon his arm, came slowly down the stair way, turned to the right and entered the drawing room. There was no music, and both bride and bridegroom were unattended. Dr. Smith read the Episcopal service slowly and impressively. The Presi dent made his responses firmly and I strongly: Mrs. Oalt's voice was with out a tremor and easily heard.

There Is no official information as to the num ber of French and British troops in Greece, which has been estimated re cently at about 200,000. Germany, Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey have at their disposal several times that num ber of men, although Greece Is opposed to the use q£ Bulgarian or Turkish troops for an advance on Salonikl. The allied troops at Salonlki are being reinforced steadily, but In view of the recent decision of France and Great Britain to continue the Balkan cam paign it may be assumed that every effort will be made to concentrate a considerable force on the Salonlki base. This Greek port is within easy sailing distance of the Galllpoli penin sula. May Increase Force If recent unofficial advices concern ing the Egyptian situation are authen tic, Great Britain may feel the neces sity of Increasing her armed forces there. It has been represented that the Germans and Turks are preparing a formidable expedition to Invade Egypt, capture the Suez canal and cut oft England from India. According to one account, thlH enterprise has been placed in the hands of Field Marshal von der Goltz, the German com mander of the first Turkish army. The Germans are reported to have con structed a double-track railroad to the Egyptian border through Southern Syria. Some of the bitterest fighting of the Dardanelles campaign has taken place at the positions now abandoned by the British. The Anzac region, which takes Its name from the Initials of the Aus tralian and New England army corps, has been the scene of furious attempts of the invaders to thrust back the Turks. Here, as at Sulva bay, the allies have been able to achieve no striking success, being held by the Turks to the zones protected by the guns of the allied fleet. The loss of life at both these positions has been very heavy. Gen.

The poor, who may do without the warm comfort of a fire during other days, find Christmas in the cold a day of bleak despair. "It is more blessed to give than to receive." How true this is if the gift be an order for coal. Many "poor relations" will get more joy out of a gift of coal than anything else.
