Those who have made a study of the world's supply of minerals are confident that copper will continue to simple ceremony. It will be quietly performed at Mrs. Gait's residence. No invitations will be issued and it is expected the only guests will be members ot the families." Limitation of the number ot guests to 50 was due to the fact that the Gait home will not accommodate more than that number. The honeymoon may be spent at Pass Christian, Miss., where Wilson passed a vacation during the holiday season of 1913 and where he met John Lind at a time when the Mexi can crisis was serious. The presi dent's intimate friends are strongly urging him to choose this spot again.

Great Britain has consented to the abrogation ot the trade treaty with the United States which would have prevented operation of the LaFollette seamen's act as far as the Britishers were con cerned. A new treaty will be negotiated unless the seamen's law is repealed in the coming session ot congress. The state department recently ad vised countries affected by the mea sure that it would go into effect No vember 5. Great Britain is the only nation which has assented to abrogation ot the treaty and to negotiations for a new one. Provisions of the law af fecting foreign shipping are not ef fective until later, hence the depart ment Is moving slowly in the mstter of abrogating treaties. PLAN GREAT RECEPTION FOR VICTORIOUS AGGIES Portland, Nov. 1. One of the greatest receptions a northwestern football team ever received la being planned today for the Oregon Aggies when they arrive here Wednesday from East Lansing, where they so de cisively defeated the Michigan Agrl cultural college Saturday. The boys will be met at the station, escorted like conquering heroes to their hotel and later dined and felicitated at a chamber of commerce luncheon. The victory of the Aggies has the alibi club working overtime. Prac tically every one predicted that they would be soundly drubbed. Now all are loudly explaining how they came to do lt. 0,E VICTORY OVER MICHIGAN PROVES METTLE OF WEST (Dy United Prm Leased Wire.) Seattle, Nov. 1. "It means that we have been boating tonms that are at good ns Harvard and Yale and getting no credit tor It," was the comment today of Conch Gllmour Doble of the I'nlvornlty of Washing ton football tom, who has won seven consecutive conference champion sblis, with regard to the astonishing 20 to 0 victory of the Oregon Aggies over the famous Michigan AgKles Saturday. "That victory should establish be yond a doubt the fact that the brand of football in the northwest Is Just as good as that of the middle west or tho east. "The Oregon Aggies already have 'been defeated 29 to 0 by Washington State, and yet were able to complete ly outclass a team that is without doubt equal to any in the middle west. Do you know how It was pos sible? Because they have been de feated so badly before they went east. "Syracuse comes out here early in December, and it would not surprise me to see them defeated also." It Is doubtful If Washington State will be substituted on the schedule of the U. of W. for the Colorado univer sity Thanksgiving day game, as a contract has been signed with Color ado. Sentiment in Seattle favors strongly the cancellation of the Col orado contest In view of the two de cisive defeats suffered by the Rocky Mountain team. .The University of Washington team, while a little slow, has as much power as any team Doble has developed here, and crltloa who have watched both teams In action recently predict an easy victory for the U. of W. over California. The Caltfornlans simply do not know enough about football and Dutbie's men are veterans. Announcement that the Michigan Aggies will meet O. A. C. on the coast next October wss well received here. "There Is absolutely no chance of Washington State being substituted for the Colorado university game here Thanksgiving day," said Doblo today. "We have been beating Wash ington State for seven years. Let them go and get a reputation. Col orado may have slipped up once or twice, but they will bring a high class team here, and we will have all the trouble In the world beating them. Colorado has a big, fast team." j This statement knocks in tho head .the proposition to rubroKnte the con j tract for a Turkey day game here be .twecn Washington and Colorado and substitute Washington State.

Prelimin ary skirmishing for the battle be tween Vllllstas and Cerrnnalstas for possession of Agua Prleta commenced shortly after dawn today. United 8tatea troops along the border un llmbered three batteries of machine guns and went Into their entrench ments close to the international boundary. General Villa's threat that ho would fight the entire United States army If necessary to obtain posses sion of Agua Prleta caused the grav est anxiety here. It Is believed the Vllllstas might actually invade United States soil In their desperate efforts to take the city. Several hun dred refugees crossed theborder dur ing the early morning hours and were placed In a concentration ramp In the outskirts of Douglas. Most of the refugees were women and babies.
