PITCHED BATTLE IN
PANAMA TENDERLOIN
u. s. Soldiers, Civilians and
Police Engage In Clash
One Killed; Many Hurt.

Panama. Feb. ia careful invest
igation by the Panama police and the
American military authorities reveals
that only n Panaman civilian was
killed In the rioting mere Sunday, but
four persons were dangerously wound
ed. and 1t is believed that the total
number of wounded will reach as.
This list of casualties resulted from
an encounter between Panaman po-
lice, American soldiers and Panaman
and American civilians in Cocoa grove,
known as the tenderloin district.
Twenty Of the wounded were
taken to Santa Thomas and Ancon
hospitals. Among these were four
whom it is reported may die. Other
wounded persons were SEN to their
homes.
A joint inquiry established that both
factions apparently We're equally Gull
pable, although the Panama police
used their firearms after the civilians
had started the shooting. The SOL
diers were totally unarmed until they
raided nearby shooting galleries and
obtained three small rifles.

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe Of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody Will Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about SO cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
aus no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
SO naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

Renewing Carbon Paner.

When carbon paper has been used
several times the preparation becomes
almost worn off in some parts, while
other parts of the paper are as good as
new. The process Of renewing is very
simple, and it can be done by anyone
without special apparatus. All that is
necessary is to hold the paper in front
of a fire or over a radiator a few sec
onds. The heat will cause the prepa-
ration to dissolve and spread over the
paper, so that when it is dry the paper
will have a pew coating. This can be
repeated, and in some cases will dou-
BILE the life of the carbon paper.

BERLIN PRESS DECLARES
GERMANY NJ WEI

Berlin, Feb. Is, (by wireless).-The
newspapers continue commenting to-
day upon the recent diplomatic ex-
changes by the United States and Great
Brlta1n and Germany, concerning the
protection of American shipping on the
coast Of the British Isles.
Generally, they characterize the
American note to Great Britain as too
mild, when compared with the note to
Germany, but they make use Of this
note to support their contention that
Great Britain is to blame for the situa-
ton. The Kreuz Zeitung says:
The American note properly takes
the British government to task for the
contemptuous misuse of the. American
flag, a course which menaces the safe
ty OF neutral shipping. Therefore it is
more difficult to understand what the
American government wants of us. The
German people will not be able to for
get either the questions addressed to us
or the form of their asking. Our posi-
ton has not changed in the slightest
degree since February 4. The United
states has two ways to protect herself
from harm. The first is to stop Great
Britain's misuse of the American flag
and the second is to keep her ships and
people and contraband of war out of
the war zone. If she adopts this meth
Cd. she will not only avoid harm, but
prlng a quick end to the var"
Think Note Not Unfair.
IiiS 1-oNcl EAllLelStI says.
1T is evident that the United States
is pressing the matter with the same
forcibleness in London as in Berlin. the
British have now been told fairly and
squarely that the entire responsibility
is upon them If American lives or prop
erty are sacrificed through misuse Of
the flag. There is no difference in the
tone of the two notes."
The Morgan Post has a different
opinion and calls the American note to
Great Britain notably different from
the German in Its soft and flutelike
tone"
The Tages Zeitung says that the
United States in it's note to Great Brit
ain with helpful care" leaves England
a convenient door Of escape" This
paper says it does not understand why
neutral powers will not see they are
saving off the branch on which they
sit, when they do not protest with all
the means at their disposal at this dis
grace of neutrality, which foreshad-
ows their destruction.
A Berlin Suggestion.
Why does not the %neutrals, with the
United States at their head, demand
of all the warning parties that they
follow the London declaration in all
particulars? In that event the British
North sea blockade would become in
operative; the contraband question
would be controlled internationally and
the course of action Germany intends
to pursue after February 10 would no
longer be necessary. The United States
should take this step" the Tages lei
tung says in conclusion, "for h rea-
son that the expressed purpose OF the
declaration of LONDON is the protec-
ton of the rights Of neutrals.'

Liz liouSe OF commons To-Day
Winston Spencer Churchill, first
lord of the admiralty, intimated
that further action would be taken
by the allies to prevent the i'm
p~ortation of foodstuffs in neutral
SHIPS to Germany.
Washington, Feb. 16.-Count Bern
storff, the German ambassador, today
presented to the state department. a
note from his government announcing
tnat Germany stands ready to consider
recedlng from its intention
oI attacking British merchantmen, if
Great Britain will withdraw it's efforts
70 prevent foodstuffs from going to
for the civilian population.
Inc note declares that Germany's
plan to attack British merchantmen
was a retaliatory measure, adopted be-
cause OF the alleged violation of inter-
national law by Great Britain in trying
70 starve the non-conlbatant population
or Germany and that the latter govern
ment is ready to withdraw from it's
purpose as expressed in the naval war
zone decree as far as it applies to mer-
cnant vessels, as soon as Great Brit
ain, either of its own volition or as a
result or representations from the neu-
trals expresses her willingness to re-
turn to the usual practices Of interna-
tlonal law on the question of food
stuffs.
Aiming Merchant Ships.
HI German note adds that the Ber-
lin government has information that
English merchant vessels are being
armed and have orders to sail in
groups for protection and further that
they would try to sink submarines. 1t
declared 1T was now no question OF
searching these merchant ships, but
that German ships would fight them
because they are now held to be war
ships.
The note declares that Great Britain,
according to information of Germany,
INTENDED to use neutral flags and that
therefore neutral shipping would be in
danger in the war zone. 1t is urged
therefore that meanwhile neutral ship
ping observe the request of Germany
and go around the north of Scotland
IN the course which had been declared
outside the war zone.
Reply Not Final.
1t was stated that the note received
by the ambassador today from his for
elgn office and promptly carried by
nm personally to the state department,
was not a reply to the recent American
note 70 in regard to the wal
decree. A more comprehensive and
reply to the communication is
expected soon.
Today's note from Germany, it was
out. constitutes a sort .of inter-
reply, possibly presented to
this government because of the fact
That the date when the war zone decree
goes into effect, February Is, is so
close at hand.
