China Warns Germany
to Recall U-BOat War

Pekng. Feb. delayed The note
handed 70 the German Minister By the
Minister for Foreign Affairs. in reply
10 Germany's declaration OF the re-
sumption OF unrestricted submarine
warfare, was made public to-day. The
text of the note follows:
The new measures Of submarine
warfare inaugurated by Germany arc
imperilling the lives and property Of
Chinese citizens even more than the
measures previously taken. which have
already cost China many lives and con
stitute a violation Of international law.
The federation OF their application
would introduce into international law
arbitrary principles incompatible with
legitimate intercourse between neutrals
and between neutrals and belligerents.
China, therefore. protests energetl-
cally TO Germany against the measures
proclaimed on February I. and sincere
ly hopes that +he rights Of neutral
states will be respected and that the
said measures will not be carried out.
If. contrary to expectation. this protest
be ineffective. China will be CON
strained. 70 its profound regret. TO
sever diplomatic relations. IL is un-
necessary 10 add that China's action is
dictated by a desire for further peace
and the maintenance Of international

A communication explanatory OF
China's action was also handed 20 Dr..
Paul s. Reinsch. American Minister TO
China. It follows:
China. like the President Of the
United States. is reluctant TO believe
that the German government will actu-
ally execute measures which imperll
the lives and properly Of the citizens
Of neutral states and jeopardize legiti-
mate commerce, and which tend. If al

ton, to introduce new principles into
international law China, being n ac-
cord with the principles set forth in
your cNcellency's note and firmly asso-
ciating itself with the United States,

theoretically to Germany against the
new blockade measures. China also
proposes to take such other action in
the future as will be deemed necessary
for the maintenance Of the principles
Of international law"

Washington, Feb. 11.-Only a strenu-
Gus effort by President Wilson in its
behalf can breathe life into the univer-
sal military training measure just IA
vorably reported by the Senate Military
Affairs Committee. The bill, which
combines the views Of Chairman Cham
berlain with those OF the Republican
members OF the committee, is now on
the calendar, but the time remaining
of the present session is so short that
even with an assured majority OF the
Senate i'm favor OF IT,, which Is not at all
known 10 be the case, the measure
would stand no chance without Fresl-
Dental pressure.
In the House Of Representatives OPP
position TO universal military framing
as 70 any other real preparedness meas
ure. is much stronger than in the SEN
ate In the House, however. the Presl-
dent can obtain almost anything he de
sires il he fights hard enough for IT,
providing always that 10 does not run
counter TO the wishes OF the labor
leaders.
BY putting his influence behind uni
versal training in the House the Presi-
dent could push it through. thus put
ting the measure up 20 the Senate.
With the prestige OF having the Presi-
dent behind IT and OF having passed
the House. il is quite possible that the
bill could be put through the Senate
even in the short time remaining Of
this session.
Senator La Toilette might lead a
little flibuster against it, but most Of
the Republican Senators would favor
il. and the President could line up most
Of the Democrats for It..
As the matter actually stands. how
ever. President Wilson is not moving a
finger 10 obtain real military prepared
ness, despite the fact that his foreign
policy has been gradually working TO a
point where the country may be forced
into a war. So there is no hope on the
part of the friends Of the measure that
they Will have the cooperation Of the
President.

.DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens
So Naturally that No
body can tell.

Hair that loses its color and lustre, or
VIXEN it fades, turns gray, dull and life
less, is caused by lack of sulphur in
the hair. Our grandmother made up a
mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, 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 mixture
improved by the addition of other ingredi-
ents by asking at any drug store for So
cent bottle Of sWyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it has been applied. You
Just dampen sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair, tax
ing 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 beau
tifully darkening the hair after few
applications, it also brings back the gloss
and lustre and gives it an appearance
of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite to iInpart
color and youthful appearance to the
hair. It is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention Of disease.

Better Farming in the South
HOW CROP YIELDS ARE LIMITED
Fixes the Crop Yield Just as
the Fixesth Strength ct the chan-ony
BY tIization Can Weakness BE Removed

shortest plant food element represent-
ed here by a stave, limit the poss1Dle
production Of crop?
#, for instance, there is only enough
nitrogen in the soil to produce ~
bushels Of corn or 175 pounds OF cot
ton per acre, while there is enough
plant food elements Of other kinds to
produce enormously more, how then
can greater yields be obtained than the
nitrogen will permit?
The problem Of plant feeding IS,
therefore, 10 simple one. 1t has en-
gagged long and most careful lnvestl-
cations Of scientists, who have de1Veo
deep into the mysteries of how plants
feed and what they feed upon. On the
basis of the most exact knowledge thus
obtained, modern fertilizers have been
manufactured Soil deficiencies, or
are designed to remove, and to call
into fullest action the natural re-
sources Of the soil.
Since there is limiting factor In
all soils, it is worth while for each
farmer to undertake to remove that
limitation Intelligent use of fertiliz
ers will accomplish it, if food elements
be this limiting factor. In no other
way can it be done than by the help
of man He must bring to the plant
the food it needs and cannot find when
this is the factor limiting production
/ The plant, Of course, must be given
the best of surroundings. It must not
only have plenty Of plant food, but
the soil must be properly drained OIL
excess water It must be well supplied
with lime, and organic matter; its
moisture must be conserved anG
weeds killed through proper cultura
methods These things man can pro
vide Therefore, if man is not the
limiting factor" and he looks aftel
the plant food requirements, the great
est possible yields will occur.
