COMB SAGE TEA IN
 HAIR TO DARKEN IT
Grandma keeps her locks dark, glossy, thick with a mixture of
 Sage Tea and Sulphur.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand mothers treatment, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sen sible, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the greatest advantage.
 Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready to-use product called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" for about 50c a bottle. It is very popular be- cause nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb 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, but what delights the ladies with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after 8 few applications, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance Of abundnce which is so attractive; be- sides, prevents dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair.

LONG WAR MAY
 CAUSE REVOLUTION
British Lord Also Sees Anarchy In Europe Among Possibilities

London, Nov. 9.-The debate on the conduct of the war and the cen sorship was resumed in the House of Lords yesterday afternoon. Earl Loreburn, former high chancellor, brought up the subject, declaring that he took this action owing to his belief that the Marquis of Lansdowne, the minister without portfolio. had not made adequate reply to the ar gufnents of Viscount Merely.
 Earl Loreburn spoke of what he termed ''the misadventures' of the Antwerp expedition, the loss of Rear Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock' s squadron, the Dardanelles operations and the Balkan expedition. The speaker said h6 had been told two months ago that fifteen million men had been killed or disabled for life and that multitudes had been added to this number since, and that if the conflict continued indefinitely. "rcvo- hItion or anarchy might follow in Europe.
 Milner Supports Loreburn.
 Earl Loreburn, who was one of the radical stalwarts who criticised the South African war yesterday oddly enough found himself supported by Viscount Milner. former high com- missioner for South Africa, who was one of those largely responsible for she South African war. Viscount Mil ner, however. largely confined himself to a criticism of the censorship. He declared that the news had , been. "doctored in an optimistic Sense" and also denounced the government for not going sooner to the assistance of Serbia.
 Vtscount Milner insisted that if the government had made preparations to meet the contingency, which for months had appeared likelihood. Serbia could have been given sufficient assistance six weeks ago to enable her to resist the combined attack of the central powers and Bulgaria. When the Greek crisis came, 1t would have been possible had the government acted with the greatest alacrity and determination, for at least 8 portion of the Serbian army to fall back upon it's allies and maintain itself for an indefinite period. Instead of that, when the Greek crisis came, Great Britain, he declared, seemed to be ab- solutely paralyzed. ,:

 Washington, Nov. 9.-Germany in a. note which reached the state de- partm ent yesterday, denies f1atly tes- timonv alleged to have been given in English courts that German ofti- cers "prepared false American pass ports and handed them to agents" and expresses doubt that such testt- mony ever actually was given.
 The note is in reply to a letter pre- sented by Ambassador Gerard on July 31, directing the attention of the imperial government to statements said to have been made by Robert Rsosenthal and George T. Breckow when they were on trial in England as spies. It is suggested that a false passport found on Breckow prob ably was issued by one of certain individuals in occupied territory and also in neutral countries" who have endeavored to make a trade of sail ing such papers at good price.
 "As far as the alleged testimony given by Rosenthal and Breckow be- fore the English law is concerned" says the note, according to which German officers prepared false pass ports and handed them to agents if such testimony should actually have been given-it must be assum- ed that the accused were induced by threats, promises or other means of pressure during the examination to invent these statements in the belief that they might be of interest tor the enemy state.

U. s. NOTE FROM
 SUBMARINE STAND
British Seaman Tells Of Dangers
 to Allied WarshipS

London, Nov. g. 3:55 p. m.-Con- sidering the American note from the viewpoint of the modern development of submarines and the influences it exerts on sea law, the naval cor respondent of the Times says lawyers and diplomatists must recognize that new conditions are thus imposed. But, unfortunately" he adds, "I find as seaman little indication of this new manner of looking at the subject in the American note."
 Referring to the contention that there is no difference between exam ining a vessel of a thousand tons or one of twenty thousand tons except the difference in time required, the correspondent observes: '"Time is the essence of the problem. We cannot afford to have our war vessels hang ing about exposed to submarine at . tack while suspected ships are being searched, and those naval experts who advised the Washington government cannot have had any experience with the particular danger which awaits boarding vessels It would be suicidal if our authorities ignored the threat of the submarine and it's bearing on the necessities of war
 New Methods Necessary.
 "The submarine has made new methods of offense and defense not only for war vessels awaiting an op- portunity to give battle but for those engaged in executing our belligerent rights. Had submarines been in use during the American Civil war, north ern cruisers could not have enforced the blockade of southern ports in the way they did.
