FRENCH AT LAST. COME ID KNOW THE ENGLISH CHARACTER
Three Years of War Have Brought People of the Allied Nations Close
 Together

Behind the British Lines in France, September 10. - (Correspondence,) That three years of war have com pletely revolutionized the Frenchman's $ idea of the English character and have knit the two nations in a friendship which will last forever, was the opin- ion expressed by a great French war correspondent in a letter written just before he died on the field of battle here few weeks ago. The letter, writ tn to a British officer whom the French correspondent had known in peace times, has been given to the As- sociated Press for publication. It says in part:
 Before the war I tried to under stand the English so far as man could who does not care much for travel and is content to study a peo- pie by it's works. I had read those books which in France we believed to represent the best of what modern England was writing.
 Modern England to me was a very sombre country. I saw it always In my mind with those gray, wet skies that we used to think (and in that no doubt we were wrong, tool as the habitual sky of England. For such skies suited the England that I knew. There were heavy storm clouds al- ways low over the England where MT. Hardy's tragic figures stepped. brave ly enough, to their doom; and an un- broken gray sky over that troubled, unhappy, mismanaged England of MT. Wells. I knew thar France was often unhappy and often all astray and yet I knew too that the old, unconquerable Gallic soul was still in her people But

SAGE TEA DANDY
 ID DARKEN HAIR It's Grandmother's Recipe to Bring Back Color and
 Lustre to Hair

You can turn gray, faded hair beau tifully dark and lustrous almost over night If you get bottle of Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store. Millions of bottles of this old famous Sage Tea Recipe. i'm proved by the addition of other ingredi- ents, are sold annually. says a well- known druggist here. because 1t darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that no one can tell it has been applied.
 Those whose hair Is turning gray or becoming faded have a surprise await ing them, because after one or two ap- plications the gray hair vanishes and your locks become luxuriantly dark and beautiful.
 This is the age of youth. Cray haired, unattractive folks aren't want ed around. so get busy with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound tonight and you'll be delighted with your dark, handsome hair and your youthful ap- pearance within 9 few days.
 This preparation is toilet requisite and Is not intended for the cure, miti- gation or prevention of disease.-Adv.

if you knew her only from the works of modern French writers, what would you think? What were you in England thinking before the war? I ought to have suspected that I did not know England. Instead I wondered often where was the soul of the England that had been, that Shakespeare had written about and boasted of. His words of England showed passion all most too great for words. Were there none to write of her now, or was she unworthy? There were many in France thinking the same as I. We distrust- ed all politics and judged no people by what their public men said and did.
 And so the war came, and we won dered during those five days of sus- pense what England would do. How should we know? We did not know her. I had only known her from books and such knowledge did not seem to promise much at such crisis.
 And then your army came to France. I never remember to have met in any of the English books any such soldiers. I saw your armies. How your modern writers have misrepresented you! Or was it that you had suddenly changed? Here in the fields and towns of France I found not modern Eng land as I knew her. but the England of Elizabeth
 q have seen your army in many places now and 1t has been like a pageant of English ages and the old English books to me. I have seer Sam Weller himself in khaki and heard him talk. though I understood little of 1t; and one night in a village es- taminet, smoky and ill-lit, where your men sat around with the French mud thick on them, I felt myself on one of Shakespeares own taverns. And have heard your soldiers songs.
 This it Is that has astonished me in your soldiers, not their courtesy, nor their kindness, though these have as tonished many, but their great gayety. So that I have always the curious feel

LAWYERS PREDOMINANT IN
COUNCIL OF BRITISH EMPIRE

LONDON. Feb. 14.-The war coun-
Gil of the British Empire, over which
Premier Lloyd George will preside,
will constitute a supreme proof Of the
commanding influence which lawyers
exercise in British affairs, for an
overwhelming majority of the states
men present will be members of the
legal profession.
One of the lawyers who will attend
the council has played a conspicuous
part on the field of battle. General
SHUTS, who has been in command of
the British forces in East Africa, is a
member of the Cape Town bar, and
served as state attorney in the Trans
yaal.
To find a lawyer-soldier of General
Shuts eminence in the annals Of Brit
ish soldiery, it is necessary to go back
tc the parliamentary war, in the sew
enteenth century, in which General
Breton took Part. A motion for the
exclusion Of all lawyers from the
house of commons was discussed in
1649, but was defeated after a long
debate.
