WOMAN. GIVES ONLY
SON TO HER COUNTRY;
COULD NOT DO MORE

San Francisco, April S.-"My
country needs my boy and my
country shall have him."
Mrs. Sophie Burke walked into
the United States navy recruiting
station here today and stood by the
side of her 1s-year-old son, John
Joseph Flynn, as he signed the
paper that made him a seaman in
Uncle Sans navy. Without a
a culver the mother gave her only
son to the service of the nation
HE has been thinking of enlist
ing for several weeks" said the
mother. Il would not stand in his
way. My country is on the verge
of war and needs men. am a
woman. l give my son. 1 cannot
give more"
When the son followed the re-
cruiting officer to be examined, the
mother sat with folded hands until
his return. She walked behind the
little squad of recruits to the ferry
building and there, with the Stars
and Stripes Tapping in the breeze
from a trim little navy launch,
mother and son kissed one another
goodby.
There were no tears in her eyes
as her boy, smilingly waving his
hand, was borne away in the
launch to the naval training sta
ton at Goat island.

Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother's Old Fa-
vorite Recipe of Sage
Tea and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
luster to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays, by asking at any drug
store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get large bot
tie of this famous old recipe, improved
by the addition Of other ingredients, for
about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try It! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair. as 1t does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark. glossy and attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and a
youthful appearance. 1t is not intend
ed for the cure. mitigation or proven
ton Of disease.--Adv.

England Happy to Stand
Shoulder to Shoulder
With the Land of the Free
in Great Struggle Against
the Common Enemy.

London, April 3.-President Wilson's
speech was received here too late for
comment in, the morning newspapers.
Only brief extracts of the speech itself
were printed in special editions hur-
riedly "made over" by the morning
papers.
Early today, however, even on the
face of these measre bulletins, empha-
sizing the import Of tho address, the
greatest jubiIation was apparent in all
allied circles. What was particularly
pleasing to officials was tho promise of
"fuIl sized war" by the United States
against Germany and especially the
pledge of liberal financial cooperation
with the allies.
LENGTHY COMMENT.
Afternoon papers comment at length
and print the speech in full.
1.-The speech was one worthy of the
occasion" declared the Evening Star.
Every Englishman will now hold
President Wilson in higher estimation.
1t is more than a mere declaration of
war: II sounds the knell of autocracy
and Of any form Of government which
makes possible secret diplomatic I'M
Outstanding and intrigues with all their
mischievous results"
A number of the British newspapers
point out President Wilson's clear dis
tinction between the German govern
ment and the German people.
ACCESS OF STRENGTH.
"The presidents stirring words
should remove all hope on the enemy's
part and all fear on the part of the
allies that America will pursue the
war in half-hearted fashion," said the
Westminster Gazette. 1.-THE message
is an immense access of strength and
encouragement to US in a good fight"
1.-The German government has done a
mad thing in forcing the United States
into war when it could have had peace
for the asking-merely by giving UP
unlimited submarine warfare" said
the Evening Standard. "Germany's
very madness is the best indication of
her utter desperation"
GERMANY TO LEARN MISTAKE.
'1n the strain Of this tremendous
struggle" said the Globe, some of us
wondered why the decision was so
long delayed. But we should have re-
membered it was necessary that the
president be certain that the whole ma
ton was behind him. 1t is no light
thing to change the deeply ingrained
sentiment against entangling alliances.
German statesmen have affected to
scorn the entry of the United States
into the war as negligible. We may
safely leave them to learn Of their
mistakes. Meantime we are content to
stand shoulder to shoulder with the
land of the free"
