On Third Ticket

Iby the International News SeryIcc.l
Oyster Bay, June 3-CoI Roosevelt will
not go to Chicago unless SOME situation
not now foreseen forces him TO make
the trip.
II IS not news to those close to him
that the Progressives are restive and may
insist upon acting without waiting for
the Republican convention It was indi-
Gated fully a week ago that Col. Roose-
welt himself held the belief he might
not, under certain conditions. be able TO
control the Progressive convention
All the news from Chicago indicates
that such a situation may rapidly be
shaping itself up. For six months the
Progressives have watched the Old Guard
leaders moving the convention to suit
their own plans. They saw Senator Hard
ing selected as temporary chairman, de-
spite his well-known reactionary ten

1t has been known here for a week that
there is grave danger Of a third ticket.
That danger was not lessened any by
the triumphant progress Of Roosevelt

There appears no doubt that the Ger

II this be the Lutzow or Dornlinser, the
vessel is a heavier loss to Germany az

These are OF an entirely different class
from the super-Dresdnoushts and, val
liable vessels as they are, do not rank as
primary units at the present time. A
Dreadnought battleship Of the West
phalen type would be a loss comparable
to either.
The hazy weather, the fall OF night,
and the retreat Of the enemy alone frus-
trated the perseverins efforts OF our
brilliant commanders, Admiral Sir John
Jeliicoe and Admiral Sir David Beatty, to
force a final decision.

Leaders Wonder Whether
Roosevelt Will Indorse
Hughes or Wage Fight.
COLONEL is NONCOMMITTAL;
PERKINS KEEPS SILENT, TOO
(By the sun News Seryice.D

Chicago, June 3.-WnI Col Roosevelt
and the Progressive party indorse Asso-
ciate Justice Charles E. Hughes?
That is the question about which the
situation in regard to the Republican
Presidential nomination is now turning.
Big leaders in the Republican party ac-
knowledged today that If it became evil
dent that Justice Hughes would be ac-
ceptable to Col. Roosevelt and the Pro-
gressives, he probably would be named.
But II Col Roosevelt and his follow
ers make known in advance their deter
mination not to accept Mr.. Hughes, a
scramble in the Republican convention is
predicted that will finally resolve itself
into another bitter fight between the for
mer President and the so-caIled Old Guard
leaders of the party
The situation in regard to the Repub-
lican nomination has. therefore, now de-
veloped into one practically of waiting
for the first definite sign from Mr.. Roose-
welt and the Progressives as to their at
titude toward Hughes.
The Republican leaders have tried to
get together on some other candidate,
notably Elihu Root of New York, or
Philander c. Knox, of Pennsylvania, with
a hope of obtaining Progressive indorse-
ment, but up to the present all efforts
in this direction have failed and several
OF the prominent leaders are acknowl-
edging privately that the drift seems to
be inevitably toward Hughes
As to Col. Roosevelts own candidacy
it has made no substantial headway
among Republican leaders, and develop
ments thus far indicate that any effort
to push the Roosevelt boom through the
Republican convention will meet with
bitter opposition on the part of old time
leaders.
While all eyes here are now eagerly
turned toward the Colonel and the Pro-
sressive camp, those in the confidence OF
Mr.. Roosevelt know that he is yet abso.
iutely uncommitted in regard to the sit
uation.
The question was put squarely up to
George W. Perkins today whether or not
the Progressives would accept Justice
Hughes. and he evaded 4 direct reply.
The interview with Mr. Perkins clearly
indicated that he was not yet prepared
to say that the ProgressiVes would not
take Mr.. Hughes. -s-a.-.-.,-a,-.---,,

these, Mr.. Young believes at least 100
uniformed men could be mustered into
line from independent teams and near
by colleges.
The House, it is expected, will act
favorably tomorrow morning on the joint
resolution, making June IA, the day of
the parade. a legal holiday in the Dis
trict. When the resolution, which has
elready been passed by the Senate, is
approved by the House. plans for the
parade will take on new life. The resolu-
tion will close all government departments,
banks and trust companies. This will
permit hundreds, of eager government

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
A few applications of Sage Tea and
Sulphur brings back its vigor,
color, gloss and youthfulness..

Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn
gray, streaked and faded hair beauti-
fully dark and luxuriant. just few
applications will prove a revelation if
your hair is fading, streaked or gray.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe
at home, though, is troublesome An
easier way is to get 50-cent bottle of
Wyeth s Sage and Sulphur Compound
at any drug store all ready for use. This
is the old time recipe improved by the
addition of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our youth
full appearance and attractiveness. BY
darkening your hair with Wyeth S Sage
and Sulphur Compound, no one can
tell, because it does it so naturally, 50
evenly. You just dampen sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning all gray hairs have
disappeared, and, after another appli-
cation or two, your hair becomes beau
tifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is delightful toilet
requisite and is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
ease.-Advt.
