The Awakening ofa City
BY w. M. CiemanS

In tho morning when the tinaIlns> red
Comes overtop the hills,
And tho city seems to waken
With it, nervousness and thrills;
And the blaek'nln9 smoke It whirIs
about
Like an alrshlp for the fray;
Tho lights 90 out and all about
Seems ready for the day.
And then tho noisy rumblinc tones
Come rolling down tho street.
There's 4 shout Of boyish laughter
And the tramp Of horses feet.
The clang Of bells; the nervous yeils,
And the rising Of the sun;
A cry, sob, a rushing mob,
And elty's day begun.
A city's day, what does It mean
To everyone and me.
A chance for bread, sirried dread,
And a prayer on Bonded knee.
A test Of brain and muscle,
And a wearied, anxious cry; =.
Tho crushing Of the thousands,
And a city's day goes by.

U. S. RED CROSS SECTION
ISSUES PAPER IN FRANCE
Described As Handmade" and
Largely Devoted to Exploiting HUI
NOR of the Staff Members.
Of the Associated Press

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, August
$3.50 far as is known it has remained
for the 63d Ambulance Section of the
American Red Cross to be the first to
distinguish itself by issuing a genuine.
regular newspaper. The paper has con-
siderably less than a million day circu-
lation. but it is a godsend TO the mem
bers of "Soixante Trois," which it calls
itself.
The first issue of the Soixante Trois is
strictly handmade and is produced by a
manifolding process. Nearly all the sec
ton comprises the editorial staff, and
about 80 per cent of this staff has devoted
itself to humorous efforts.
The "Own-Lee" Laundry Company is
the most liberal advertiser, with lurid
rage invoking every one to fall in line"
and follow the example of the cook who
washed his face in the dshpan-"
Then there is "tonsorial parlor' that
invites the readers to come in and en-
ioy the show" which. the advertisement
continues, includes microscopic animals
contributed by our patrons"
There is a bit of poetry" or two. also
a couple of rough sketches and four pages
of reading matter, including PERSONAL
ties and a DIARY of Our Own Samuel
Pepys" News as it is ordinarily con-
ceived is conspicuous by its absence, but
the Soixante Trois is chock full of fun.
which is, perhaps, just as welcome as
news to the members OF the section

u. S. is TO TAKE PART IN
PARIS NAVAL CONFERENCE
Nature of Discussions Not Disclosed,
But Expected to Concern Sub
marine Warfare.

The United States is to participate C
in a conference to be held in Paris
early in October at which naval af-
fairs of an unstated nature are to be
taken up by representatives of the
allied governments. This information
is contained in dispatches received
from Europe. Naval officials in Wash
ington will not elaborate. indicating.
however. that no political" conference
is under consideration.
The extent of American participation
in these discussions will probably be
limited. The American representative
would not be at liberty to discuss par
ticipation in naval offensive against na-
tions with which the United States is
not formally at war.
There is the probability, however.
that means to curb the operations of
submarines and open another route to
France for American troops or supply
ships is in the purview of these delib-
erations. If so, American participation
would not be restrained by the fact that
Austrian as well as German ships are
operating in these waters.

WORK OF BATTLE-ARTIST,
Exhibition of Paintings by Russian
Proposed in London

Core spondence of the Associated Press
LONDON, August 31-An exhibition
of paintings by the Russian battle-al~
tist. Fasil Fereshchagin. called in Rus
STA the apostle of peace" is to be one
of the features of the winter season in
London art circles. Vereshchagin. after
hghtlng with the Russian armies in
three short but bitter minor wars, was
killed in the explosion that destroyed
the Russian flagship Petropavlocsk out
side Port Arthur in 1904. His paintings
are described as 'at once a grisly reve-
latfon and vehement protest"
His most famous canvas is entitled
"Apotheosis of War" 1t depicts a huge
pyramid of skulls crowned with a flock
Of carrion crows. and bears the sinister
inscription. ITO all conquerors, past
present and to come"
On the occasion of an exhibition Of
his work in Berlin some years ago the
German emperor would not allow the
Prussian guard to visit it. "lest they
should come to regard war as not
honorable but disgusting"
Vereshchagin once wrote: Il want my
paintings to be horrible. The people
must know what war really is"

SOON TO BEGIN DELIVERY
OF LIBERTY LOAN BONDS
Secretary NcAdoo Announces Dis
tribution Will Be Made to Sub
scribers by Reserve Banks.

September 26 has been set as the date
for commencement of delivery Of liberty
loan bonds to subscribers. Secretary
McAdoo announces that distribution
will be made by the twelve federal re-
serve banks. The work Of distribution,
1t is anticipated. will require several
weeks. This will be largely due to the
probable retention by many subscribers
Of interim certificates, already issued.
The number of coupon bonds required
by subscribers is estimated by federal
reserve banks as in excess of 100000,
Of which 100000 are of the $50 or
800 denominations. In the number OF
bonds required. the issue is larger than
first reports indicated. based on more
than 1000 900 individual subscriptions.
Secretary McAdoo repeats his sugges
ton that holders of interim certificates
would find it to their advantage in
many instances to hold certificates in
stead of changing them for bonds until
Congress disposes of the bill author

sage TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
Hts Grandmother's recipe to bring
color, Iustre and youthfuIness to
hair when faded, streaked
or gray.

That beautiful. even shade of dark.
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When 1t
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance a hun
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition OF
other ingredients at a small cost, all
ready for use. 1t is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound This
can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and lustre of
your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound row because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply da-nren a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another appli-
cation 1t becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous. This
Seady-tO-use preparation Is a delight
ful toilet requisite for those who de
sire dark hair and a youthful appear
pance. 1t is not intended for the cure,
1 mitigation or prevention Of disease.
