JAPS REASSURE BRITAIN.
The Explanation Relieves Apprehen
sion-Washington Conferences
Go On.

Washington, April 27.-The Japa-
ncse Government has given to Great
Britain detailed explanation of the
demands made upon China, which, ac-
cording to information obtainable
here, is said to have relieved apprc-
hension in London as to the scope OF
the Japanese policy in China.
The report from Picking that some
of the railroad concessions now de-
manded by Japan encroached on the
so-called sphere of Influence" OF
Great Britain in the Yangtsc Valley
was offset by confidence here that
Japan's explanations to London of
the purpose of her demands and Sir
Edward Grey's speech in Parliament
indicated that Japan was in constant
communication with her ally. Great
Britain.
Peking, China, April 27.-The latest
list Of the Japanese demands is viz
tually an application Of the original
81 demands and includes even the
demands for railroad concessions, it
is understood, in territory where the
lines would not compete with British
interests.
The Japanese insist that the Chi
nese Government accept the new list
of demands in it's entirety, but no
time limit has been set.
China is making certain military
preparations, which have been de-
scribed as feeble" Great secrecy is
maintained as to the details.
In Pe&ing the impression obtains
among foreign observers that Japan
will use force unless China yields.

WAR on CHRISTIANS
Armenian Mother Crucifed Before
Eyes Of their Children

Armenian M0lReG VI uSihSu Nto''
Eyes of their Children
Petrograd, April 27-Seven thou
sand Christian Armenians killed; s.
600 wounded; more than $4,000 fugi-
tives or prisoners; twelve towns Ges-
troyed; more than 500 square miles
of territory laid waste. ~
This briefly summarized another
bloody page Of Turkish history as
revealed in reports transmitted to
Petrograd from Tifis, Tahriz and
Teheran. The reports as received
here were necessarily fragmentary
in character, hut they have been
checked over carefully.
AS furnished by an official of the
government they cover period
from early in January to late in March
and atrocities committed in Turkish
Russian and Persian territory.
Kurd tribesmen. now fighting with
the Turkish army were responsible
for the massacrcS in large part, but
Turkish regulars permitted the
slaughter Of men, women, and chill
dren and in some instances took ar
active part in the butchery.
Horrible fortunes were inflicted
upon thousands of the kurds' vic
tins. Mothers begging for the lives OF
their children were crucitied before
the ewes of the little ones. Oil was
poured over men and women and then
set afire. Some of the methods used
by the Kurds cannot be described.
Turkish troops ard Turkish officials
are declared to have looked on while
the Kurds worked their will, some
times crying applause or telling
where more fugitives might be found.
At the end of Bergiri, between the
Persian frontier and Lake Van, ~
fugitives were rounded up in large
building. Knowing that resistance
was useless and hoping that few
might be spared. an Armenian prizes
who was selected as leader by TIT
Christians offered to surrender. Thu
Kurds made no reply, but SURROUNDED
the building and fred into it for three
hours.
Finally they set fire to the build
ing. When the Christians tried t.
rush from the single door they wer
shot down. All of the fugitlvcs wer
! either shot or burned to death. IN
chief official Of Bergiri is said T.
have witnessed the slaughter, making

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's GrandmOther's Recipe To Bring
Back Color and LuStre to Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brewing
a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Your hair is your charm. 1t makes or
mars the face. When t fades, turns
gray, streaked and looks dry, wispy
and scraggy, just an application or
two OF Sage and Sulphur enhances it's
appearance hun6redfold.
Don't bother to prepare the tonic;
you can get from any drug store a 80
cent bottle of "Wyeths Sage and Sui
phur Compound" ready to use. This
can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color, thickness and
lustre of your hair and remove dan
druff, stop scalp itching and falling
hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur because it darkens so natural
ly and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied, You simply dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through the hair, taking one
small strand at time; by morning
the gray hair has disappeared, and af-
ter another application 1t becomes
beautifully dark and appears glossy,
lustrous and abundant; Hooks Pha"-

CATTLE MEET IN
GREEN COUNTY

ATLANTA, March 10.-Siloam,
Greene County, is to be the scene of an
interesting exhibition and sale Of
registered cattle, March 10, 1915, &C
cording to an announcement just re
ceived by President C. ]. Hadan, of
the Georgia Chamber of Commerce,
from E. T. Boswell, one of Georgia's
foremost advocates of an increased
cattle industry. Green county has
long been doing pioneer work in Geor-
gia in the raising of blooded cattle,
and the coming exhibition sale will
undoubtedly give the industry added
impetus. Cattle growers from many
sections of central Georgi will at
tend.
President Haden of the State Cham
Der has tentatively accepted an invita-
ton to speak at Sloan during the ex-
hibition-sale and other prominent men
have also been invited.
In writing about the demand for
good registered cattle in Georgia at
the present time, Mr.. Boswell has the
following to say:
"The supply of the right kind is not
sufficient. Good breeding cattle are
sure to increase in value. The feeder
and the beef producer have a great
and prosperous future. We will never
see cheap beef again. The cattle in
dustry has the greatest future of any
thing on earth. The best way to get
the work started in Georgia is to get
good registered live stock scattered
over the state There is no better cat
tie country in the United States than
Georgia, and nobody is more inter-
ested in the promotion of the cattle
business than those behind the coming
exhibition-sale in Sloan, March 49,"

He started out in the darkness and
soon experienced some nervousness.
whereupon he recalled the advice of
the Union commander At once he
began repeating the password at every
step, and finally began shouting
Friend Of the Union SO loudly that
he was surrounded' by eight or ten
patrols, who demanded to know if he
believed he was the only friend the
Union possessed. Mr.. Jackson showed
his pass and was allowed to proceed
on his journey.
Giles B. Jackson again fell into the

told his captors that he knew General
Grant, who had once allowed him to
return to the Confederate lines, and
he wished to be taken before him
again. He showed his pass. where
upon they took him to Grants head
quarters, about i've miles away, and to
his delight the general recognized him

replied that his master was still living
and not yet captured. He begged to
