ENGLISH DON'T
 SQUARE PRACTICES OFFICIALS AT WASHINGTON IN TEND TO TAKE UP lNDl-
 VIDUAL COMPLAINTS.
FIGURES CITED BY BRITISH
Answer to President Wilson By Sir Edward Grey Does Not Touch
 One of the Complaints.

Washington.-The United States government is not altogether satisfied with the note of Sir Edward Grey giv- ing Great Britain's preliminary repIy to President Wilson's protest concern ing the treatment of American com merce by the British fleet
 While gratified that Great Britain admits the justice of practically all the principles of international law cited in the American note it was officially re- iterated that the chief difficulty had been England's neglect to make her actual practice square with the pre- viously accepted rules of international law.
 It is realized by officials here that a long diplomatic correspondence con corning the principles of the American case, but not actually carrying them into practice, will not meet the com plaints of American exporters and shippers; and although England s supplementary answer is expected to give more detailed statement of her position officials plan to take up vi gorously all individual cases which may meanwhile arise.

SAGE TEA DARKENS GRAY
 HAIR TO ANY SHADE. TRY TIT!
Keep Your Locks Youthful, Dark. Glossy and Thick With Garden
 Sage and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and trouble some. For 50 cents you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use tonic called "Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time. By morn- ing all gray hair disappears, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and luxuriant. You will also dis cover dandruff is gone and hair has stopped falling.
 Gray. faded hair, though no dis grace, is sign of old age, and as we all desire youthful and attractive ap- pearance, get busy at once with Wy. eth's Sage and Sulphur and look years younger. Adv.

 "Mr. Brand" he said, q fear that you won't construe this visit as a con- pliment. l am not here to inquire into your business, past, present or future. come in behalf of a friend"
 Brand licked some ashes from his cigar onto his plush carpet and in- quired:

 Then the advantage is mine," said the millionaire coolly. q am listen ing"
 You came over to Staten Island some four weeks ago. You came on business. Were you successful"

 My friend" he said, you had bet, ter ask Reynolds"
 The reporter jumped to his feet.
 Leave Reynolds out of it." he com manded. Tt took you a long while to think of that. and you know you don't mean it. You know Bob Reynolds wouldn't tell me anything that another man had told him in confidence. He would hold it sacred even-even if 1t came from you"
 Brand dropped his mask; dropped 1t with crash; good crook is never coward. He went around his desk al most at run and pointed finger an inch from the reporters face.
 Now you be nice," he ordered in no uncertain tone You're here for trou- ble and you'll get 1t But if you want to stay at all be nice. You heard me-" Dick met his stare full-faced But he had erred. He knew it.
 T heard you" he said. "and I beg your pardon-to the extent that I re- gret my pleasantries. But be on the level. Brand. It's just you and me; not Reynolds. Don't pretend If you want to give me the passports, say the word. But if you don't, let's talk like men,"
 All right, then. don't think Key holds told you a word. But think you know lot. Damn me, if you report CTS would only turn your wits to some good ends, how much better of you'd be and how much better off the world would be-"
 The point of view there," said Dick with smile, ''is what constitutes good ends. For my part would not include in such traits the desire to take other mems wives out joy riding. We have agreed to dispense with pleasantries. l speak of facts"
 Brand took it coolly.
 Well, what then?" he asked.
 That's what I'm here to learn. I know lot but I would like to learn more"
 Then I guess your missions futile," said the millionaire.
 Perhaps. But I haven't run dry. Tennessee Coal and Iron dropped a few points today"
