of the British Fleet.

The neutral world is in danger OF msunder-
standing Great Britain's temper because we
have been threshing out in public the gigan-
tic problems set US by this war. in political de-
bate and in the controversies OF the press. with
a frankness OF self-criticism peculiar to peo-
pie OF Anglo-Saxon blood. Those who know us
will not take this race Characteristic as an
indication OF encouragement and miscarriage.
We are not bestirring and berating ourselves

because we are melting each other 20 do more

What Is the Matter With ENGLAND?
Gilbert Parker Complaints That Britain Has Not Walked Up

What service could navy be doing that
Il Is not doing now? IL has swept the German
merchant marine from the seas sent the Ger
commerce raiders TO follow IT, and iso-
lated the German colonies from all commercial
or military intercourse with the Fatherland.
II has prevented the German Navy from Civ

supplies or men.
1t has enabled our own commerce and the
commerce of our allies to keep the sea In war
as safely. for practical purposes. as in time OF
peace. Our mercantile marine .and our navy
are larger than they were when the war be-
gan. so the First Lord of the Admiralty has
informed US.
II has covered the transport of our troops
from every part of the world to the British
Isles. and from the British Isles to Flanders
and the Dardanelles. A year OF war passed
before the first British transport was sunk on
seas otherwise traversed without let or him

surface or below it. not to speak Of their
boasted feet in the air.
II has made possible the incredible disem-
barkation on the Gallpoli Peninsula
Naturally, the Germans talk big about the
Zeppelins and U boats. II distracts attention
from their battle feet That feet was Kaiser
Williams masterpiece. II has cost untold
millions OF dollars and absorbed the service of
hundreds of thousands Of highly skilled men,
And It is now a negligible quantity. II is hav-
ing no influence whatever upon the course OF
the war. and 1t is likely to go on eating its

SAGE AND SULPHUR
 DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded, lifeIess locks and they become dark,
 glossy, youthful.

Hair that loses it's color and lus-re. or when it fades. turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful. and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive. use only this old time recipe.
 Nowadays We get this famous mix ture by asking at any drug store for 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur CompOund,'' which dark ems the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. Besides, it takes off dandruff, stops scalp itching and fall ing hair. You just dampen q sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what de- lights the ladies with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur is that. besides beauti- fully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an ap- Uearance of abundance.-Advertis ment

Elks
 Tess of the storm Country" as presented by the Redmond company at the Elks theater. is making a pro nounced hit. The deep heart interest combined with thrilling dramatic moments and bright comedy scenes coupled with the diversified list of characters as portrayed by the pop ular Redmonds; stamps the offering as one of the best stock attractions ever presented in this city.
 Tomorrow evening the play will again be presented and then net again until Sunday evening. when it will be seen for the last time. The Redmonds will not be seen in this city on Friday and Saturday. owing to the booking of Forbes Robertson.
 Regarding the seat sale for the FOrbes-R Robertson engagement; many choice seats are now on sale and the unreserved portion of the upper balcony will be placed on sale to- morrow at noon for the Friday evening performance.

 Farewell of the Foremost Actor
 The stage has rarely seen a more artistic endowment. whether of tenn perament or equipment than in the ease of Sir Johnston Forbes Ronert- son who makes his farewell appear ance at the Elks theater tomorrow and Saturday evening.

In the case of FOrbos-Pob- crtson they are profoundly important His presence brings with it distine- ton and refinement It suggests a world of chivalrous passion and TO- mantle ideals The face is at once serene and sensitive. the brow high and significant: the eyes grave with that slight inequality of focus which suggests the dreamer; the nose hold and shapely; the lips delicate and closely pressed and the chin firm.

 GEORGE CHR|STY
Resolution Calling for the Removal of City Attor- ney Fails to Be Adopted at Adjourned Meeting of City Commission

An effort 10 secure the adoption of resolution removing George D. Christy from the office of the city attorney, failed at the adjourned meeting of the city commission yesterday afternoon. Ire introduction of the resolution by Commissioner Richey came at the con- clusion of session in which there Were more or less important matters taken up for consideration. but which for the most part were deferred to an other meeting or referred to commit tees for investigation.
 The resolution was very formal and presented no causes for the proposed action. It simply called for the remov al of Christy. As soon as City Clerk Thomas had received the resolution from Mir Richey he inquired if the commissioner desired it read, and upon being assured that he did. the clerk proceeded to it's reading. Commis- sioner Richey then moved its adoption, with Commissioner Cope seConding the motion. A roll call was necessary to decide the tenor of the commission and it resulted in Commissioners Richey and Cope voting for the resolution and Commissioners Corpstein and Mac
 
 it. And there the matter dropped. Not a word was said that indicated the req son for the proposed removal There was no hesitation in the voting. but there was q feeling that something had gone wrong. None of the commission CTS cared to be quoted after the meet ing. preferring evidently to have it all considered d closed incident
