President Hopeful Of Outcome.
President Wilson is relying upon
public opinion in other neutral nations
to add force to his efforts to clarity
the situation. While the American
government acts entirely on its. own
responsibility, he feels other nations
for economic reasons are vitality in
terested in the outcome.
1t was said authoritatively today that
tn, president acted without assurances
that his move would be fav6rably re-
ceived by the entente allies. He took
the position. 1t is said however, that his
note calls for replies and that even of
unfavorable the responses would tend
to make clear the objects of the bel
ligerents and establish some common
ground.
There is every indication THAT Presi-
dent Wilson is hopeful Of the outlook
and he believes the way has been
opened for negotiations. What steps
he takes in the future depend entirely
on the nature Of the replies to the
notes.

DARkEN GRAY HAIR.
 LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Grandma's recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur darkens so naturally
 that nobody can tell.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre, or when 1t fades, turns gray, dull and 1ifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul- phur to keep her locks dark and beau tiful, 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 improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a 50-cent bottle of "'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly. that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. 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 the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it ar appearance of abundance
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite to impart color and youthful appear ance to ~the hair. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.

Mohamadanism. Ehe has fertile val leys and teeming population It seems as if India might not always be British.
 In passing on to Constantinople we come to the fairest city in the world and the most interesting at present. It is far surpassing beauty, with It's gardens and gleaming minerets and towers and is the seat of a most de- testable government. This is the to over-run it. Only in 1913 did Ser bia, Bulgaria and Roumania succeed in driving them back
 The main reason for the present European war is the control of the ap- breaches to Europe Constantinople is significant now because so long as the Bosphorus and the Black Sea are open waters ConstantinopIe Is the meeting point for terrific political forces. The war between Russia, Austria and Germany is significant, because Russia has no warm water ports, There are one hundred and sixty million people involved. Rus sia will never rest under such condi- tions.
 Since 1890 Germany has been culti- vating the Turk. She had in mind a railroad from Hamburg to Bagdad And what did she want in that re- zion? part in the exploitation of Turkey, a road to the valley of the Eupshrates: finally an entry to Asia It is not an accident that the most beautiful majectic building in Con- stantinople is the German embassy.
 The Turkish character is contradic- tory. As an individual the Turk is a natural gentleman, affable and court eous, but in a body he proves a wretched petty inouisitive govern ment- Turkey is abominably gov erned. Their horrible massacres show what their government is. Howevfr, Turkey has really ceased to be. She is under German rule. It Is easy to see what her fate will be. If Germany succeeds in this war Turkey will be less, if the other side wins, Russia will fall heir to Turkey. The at tention of Europe is concentrated on Constantinople for the way out by watSr.
 And where does the United States come in?
 1 It is ten days journey to Japan and twelve to China. We have the i Philippines. We are taking chances in 1 Asia. We have an interest in know | ing which power will get Turkey | There will be no permanent peace un- i til Asia accepts it. Nor will there
 be any rest for us until we know our i neighbor's attitude.
