WASHINGTON, May 2.-The
members OF the British and French
Commission here are anxously a
waiting news from Berlin tomorrow
when Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hol-
veg makes his peace speech in the
Reichstag. They are inclined to view
the Chancellor's remarks with scep-

that the Teutonic stronghold on Eu-

any permanent yeace.
The Commission is not able to re-

STEEL AND WOODEN
SHIPS NEEDEDNOW.
. IS CAPPS' WARNING

Both steel and wooden ships must
be built, and built quickly. Rear Ad-
mirsl Caps. chairman Of the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation, told ship
builders here today.
Matters brought to my attention
only this morning indicate the vital
importance of pressing this construc-
ton program" he said. I'VE are in
this war far more seriously than a
vast majority OF people realize"
Yards Delaying Work.
It was his first public utterance
since taking charge of shipbuilding
work for the Government. The meet
ing of shipbuilders was called by
Chairman Hurley Of the Shipping
Board following reports that yards
were delaying work to gain more
profitable private schedules.
Every ounce Of our strength must
go into the prosecution of this pro-
gram" Caps said. THE merits OF
wooden and steel ships have nothing
to do with the case. Botoh classes are
important in the situation.
An I'm Same Vineyard.
When one lumber dealer supplying
timber for Government ships demur-
red at the small margin of profit,
Admiral Caps said:
we are all laborers in the same
vineyard. The Government has call
ed you here to help us. The Govern
ment will see that you receive a rea-
sonable profit"
While builders were comforting
with the shipping board, the great
problem of supplying seamen for the
oncoming merchant marine was dis
cussed at q conference between Sec
rotary Wilson, ship owners, members
of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States and other Government
representatives.
This afternoon Chairman Hurley is
comforting with representatives of
the allied governments as to the
specific ship needs OF all.

She made up nixturo of Sage Tes and Sulphur to bring back color
 gloss, thickness

Common garden sage brewed Into 2 heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri- ant. remove every bit of dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair. Just a few applications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, gray or dry, scraggly and thin. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way Is to get the ready-to-use tonic, costing about 50 cents large bottle at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding a lot of muss.
 While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can tell, because 1t does 1t so naturally, so evenly. You just dan1pen a sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after an- other application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy. soft and Iuyurianf

 The engineers are now working on two deviauons from the present route which will reduce the grad. rom twelve per cent to a maximum or three per cent. These grade redue tions will eliminate the necessity for racks. which heretofore. have been in use. and will make traffic both quick CT and more certain.

FLYING SIMPLE:
 ENOUGH TO BE
 POPULAR SPORT
rReoubllcan A. p. leased Wirel

LONDON. Mar 3.-Flying has be- come SO safe and easy that in peace time everyone who can. should take it up us a means of travel and Tecrc- ation. according t0 General T.. $ Brancker, director of air organization for the British army.
 Flying today Is so easy" said Gen eral Brancker. that most pupils are in danger from over confidence. Halt our accidents arise from this cause. Training in aviation from military point of view. is getting more and more complicated. but actual flying from the practical point of view of
 getting from place Co place. has be-
 come almost as easy and safe as
 automohiling or bicycling
 People generally ought 10 learn
 the elementary principles of handling
 an areoplane. The only factor against
 general private use of aeroplanes, es
 pecially in Great Britain. is the un-
 certainty of the weather. but with experience and reliable engines i' 's possible to fly in almost any weather
 short of thick fog. a hurricane. or
 a violent thunderstorm
 General Brancker foresees the de-
 veiopment of more and better quail fled instructors. more reliable engines, and slower and more deliberate train- ing. after the stress Of war is over Al present" he explained. there is of necessity 8 good deal of undut
 haste Tie supply of aviators is forever trying to catch up with the demand. and the demand is forever increasing. both in numbers and qual- ity9
 Asked whether ary ordinary person coulG become a really good aero plane pilot. General Br8ncker said: l The most unexpected people make good pilots and very often the most promising ones never attain more than mediocrity ,n the air Any sound man with sound neryes--and women too, for that matter-can make good, useful pilct. but it is onlV ! the exceptional indisidual who will
 make the really brilliant fighting pi- 1 lot Even the physically unsouno man can ne a good pilot. like tho late Lord Lucas. who had a woodcr leg.
 "As fer the best age for training in 1 flying, I think they should begin n. l young as possible Generally speak i ing. eighteen IS rather young for tho l five to forty who has lived hard i life and is good horseuan wil probably develop into good pilot i quicker than inc man of 2a to % l who has spert his life In an offic, [ or in doihG nothing, but as @ rule tho older man Will not stand the stIaif i or active service as long as th, ! young man.
 The quality Of horsemanship is a
 useful one in anv would-be aeroplan l ist The requirements are just ths
