WILSON TO DICTATE
POLICY OF NEuTRALS
IN HISTORIC MOVE

PARIS, Feb. 3.-Two general con-
illusions emerge from the mass of com.
ment which continues to fill the col
umns of the newspapers in regard to
the submarine question. The frs. is
that upon the attitude of American de.
ponds that of the other neutrals. AS
the. Petit Parisien puts 1t: "The his
toric hour has struck for President
Wilson and upon the action he takes
depends the conduct of all neutrals in
this supreme phase of the war"
"The second conclusion is that the
German threat is mere bluff in which
respect Georges Clemenceau writes:
We behold great deployment of
threatening words We ask what is
going to be changed. Germany is sink
ing our ships. Sc will continue to do
So
Eve on the other hand shall permit
ourselves to stop her supplies of food
more vigorously than before. She will
launch fresh submarines: but she al
ready has done this without such
grandiloquence There were ways Of
circumventing her. Our bureaucracy,
which has contented itself up to the
present with keeping important plans
in pigeon holes, will find itself obliged
to allow them to be carried out"

liquor dealer, who some time ago an
nounced that he would seek the DEM

er, Republican, councilman-at-large

SHIPPERS IGNORE
COUNTRY'S ADVICE

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 3-De-
spite the state departments advice
that vessels flying the American flag
and destined to foreign ports should
postpone their departure. shipping
men here today said that Germany's
action in declaring for unrestricted
submarine warfare had not caused
them to change their plans in the
least. Landing of steamers is pro-
ceeding as usual they said, and as fast
as the ships are ready they will sail.
Half dozen boats, with capacity car
goes, obtained clearance papers yes
terday and some of them were eX-
pected to leave today. Among the
number is the American tanker gold
shell with gasoline for Bordeaux and
Rouen.

HERE'S WHAT THE SEVERANCE
MEANS TO CITIZENS Of j. s.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Breaking
of diplomatic relations with Germany
does not mean war but easily may
lead to war. It is an act of protest
characterized in the usage of nations
as measure short Of war"
The danger that war may follow is
accentuated. by the diplomatic history
OF the world. Modern times show no
instance of a diplomatic break between
two f1rst-class powers that has not
been followed by hostilities
Rights Are Unaffected
The rights of Germans in the Unit
ed States, and of Americans in Ger
many are practically unaffected by
the severance of diplomatic relations
No treaties are terminated or sus-
pended but remain in full force and
effect unless either government later
decides to denounce them, which, un-
der international practice generally
calls fora notice of one year.
Commercial Relations Stand
There is no change in commercial
relations, already badly crippled by
the war. individuals and corporations
may continue their usual affairs, pro-
vided they do not deal in contraband
and their obligations are as binding
as ever.
There should be no sequestration
or confiscation of private property
either in the United States or Ger

PROTEST
INCOME LEv|ES,
BILL PROVIDES

Protests against the provision of the
deficiency revenue bill providing for
tax on net earnings of corporations
were voiced yesterday by Richmond
business men.
Twenty men attended the meeting,
which was held at the Commercial
club, and discussed steps to oppose the
bill.
Opposition to the measure was based
upon the belief that it is class legisla-
ton, in that individuals in business
are exempted from taxation while the
entire burden falls upon partnership
and corporation businesses.
A committee, composed of John M
Lontz, Pettis a. Reid and Rudolph G.
Leeds. was appointed to draft a resolu-
ton to be presented to the senate
finance committee
Two manufacturers Informed the
meeting they would surrender their
charters as corporations and continue
business as individuals if the bill be-
comes law. They were John M.
Lontz of the F. e N Lawn Mower COM
pany and William F. Bockhoff. presi-
dent of the National Automatic Tool
company.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-The crisis

pecially those bearing upon financial
and industrial conditions were of the

ular and large extra" dividends de-
clared by the American Beet Sugar
company were among the events which
offered further proof of industrial
prosperity.
The large subscriptions to the new
British loan, necessitating reduction
of allotments to the public, indicated
that idle capital stands ready to sup
ply funds for high-class investments,
but the weakness of other information

to reduce local reserves.

Sunshine and Air and Q-Ban
Will Quickly Restore Its
Natural Color.
DON'T USE DYES
You Can Have Soft, Lus-
trous, Handsome Hair In

or Dangerous Chemicals
Back to Nature"

Of course, the use of dyes to darken
gray hair is unpleasant and not in good
taste-even dangerous, in fact. But
since the natural color can now be re-
stored to gray or faded hair in per-
fectly simple, healthfuL natural way,
Why should anyone have gray hair?
Why should you?
, Sunshine and air, the good gifts of
Nature, combined with the use of
Q-Ban Hair Color Restorer, the good
gift of science, will bring back the
natural color of your hair, evenly and
pleasantly, and just as surely as it is
true that sunshine and air are free.
Thousands of the foremost people in
this country have restored their hairs
natural color and renewed their youth
ful look in just this way. 1t is nothing
10 be ashamed Of, like the use of dyes.
Nor does it arouse suspicion, as dyes
do by the unnatural appearance they
give the hair.
All you need to do to gain rich and
coveted beauty of hair, without trace
Of gray, is to wet your hair with Q.Ban
Hair Color Restorer, and when it is
dry enough expose it to the free and
pure sunshine and air, repeating this
daily while your hair gradually and
evenly returns to its original, uniform
shade. Q-Ban does not pretend to
work miracles overnight, remember.
Such claims belong to dangerous dyes,
sticky paints and fakes. .Q-Ban's work

The secret of Q-Ban's wonderful re-
cults is the process of oxidation
brought about by the exposure of your
hair to the air and sunshine after it
has been applied. This very process
makes it safe and sane and clearly,
and is one reason for Q-Ban's tremend-
Gus popularity Beware of limitations.
