Tastes Uke Those of Mr. Wilson. For many weeks Mrs. Gait and her relatives have been frequent dinner guests at the White House. Often she has accompanied the president on motor rides. She is not quite as tall as Mr. Wilson, has dark hair and dark eyes and always is In stylish at tire. Her tastes are sard to be strik ingly similar to those of the presi dent, with a deep Interest In litera ture and charity work.

RETREAT IS BELIEVED NEAR Teutons Cannot Ing Endure Bom bardment. It Is Calmed French Troops Take Tenure With Slight Ijosscjs Victory Regarded As Im portant In Deciding Result. PARIS, Oct. 7. The heavy and incessant artillery firing for the past few days has worn down the Ger man resistance In Champagne, ac cording to dispatches. The second line of the Teuton trenches la crumb ling beneath the shells. Indications point to a German retirement along a wide front Tho French capture of Tahure. and Tahure Heights, with comparatively slight tosses, was re torted in last nighfs communique. French guns blotted out the redoubts trenches and stone midges conceal ing the enemy's guns. A few regi ments stormed the remaining works and routed the German occupants with the bayonet. The Tahure victory Is one of the most Important successes since the Initial drive In Champagne swept the Germans from the first line de fenses. The east with which the capture was effected convinces ex perts that the Bazancourt-Challer-ange railway, less than two miles from the French advanced works, will be pierced within a fortnight, far some time tho French have been aiming at this goal, a highly strategic point lecause of its value to the Germans as a means of transporting supplier, BERLIN, Oct 7. An official state. inent admitted the French attacks in the I'hampagne region had driven the j Teutons from Tahure, but claimed elsewhere the French were repulsed. PARIS, Oct 7. Four successive German attacks west of the Souchez Angres road were heavily repulsed, a communique announced. A heavy bomhardment south of the Somme. rorth of the Aisne. around Tracy Val and St. Mard Forest, and the Andreehy-Danoonrt -Cannet sector was reported. Counter attacks by the Germans around Tahure. captured by the French, were thrown back. , HAPPY CANYON LEAVES NET BALANCE OF OVER $1 50TJ Happy Canyon left a net balance to the Commercial club of more than $1500 this year, according to the re port made by the finance commit tee This Is about twice the balance secured a year ago and several hun dred dollars more than a cursory summing up showed a few days ago.
