 Enemy Yesterday
[ Associated PresS)

PETROGRAD, Aug. D. The government announced this that from all accounts the creation of a large army con- posed of women exclusively, is progressing far beyond eXpecta- tions throughout Russia. The notion has taken a hold of the women like wildfire as the re- suit of the heroic conduct of Vera Butchareffs with her fe- male battalion at the front. The government recruiting offices are swamped with determined women who are anxious to show the men how to fight for their country.
 PETROGRAD, Aug. 2.-The provisional government last ev- ening sent a note to the Entente Allies, saying in part that the government intends to bring to a successful end the task of re-

 OF HIS FRIEND

The death of Frank Hemlow, well and favorably known by many resi- dents of Ketchikan and vicinity, is announced in the following letter re- ceived by Captain Sayles, and fol- lows:
 Liscomb, N S., July 23, IT Captain Sayles:-
 Dear Sir
 I am writing this note in great sorrow to tell you of the death of my dear husband, Frank, which occurred on June 1, at Buffalo, N r., where he had gone for treatment.
 As he had received letters from you some time ago, I thot of you as about the only one to write to, as you can let his other friends know, and he had so many friends wherever he went.
 He had not been well all winter and towards spring became worse, his head would bother him very much by aching badly, so that he had decid- ed to go to a specialist for treatment, but sad to say, did not go soon en- ough, and before he had been there a week had passed away, the doctors pronouncing q tumor on the brain, which caused c pain in his head.
 It is so sad TOT me, as we expected to see him home soon as well as ever, and we have not been married two years, would be in October, and had everything in this world to live for Our baby will be one year in Sept.
 I cannot set my mind to writing much, so kindly excuse this note. It seems to me that there Is nothing to live for now, but must keep up for the baby's sake. I hope this will reach you and know you will let the people know, who knew Frank. Will you please let me know whether you receive this?
 am
 Yours, in great sorrow,
 HAZEL w. HEMLOW. Mrs. Frank w. Hemlow,

U. 5. BLUEJACKETS
 AUTHORIZED TO
 EQUIP CLUBHOUSE
Men Amused While in British Waters. Send For Instru-
 ments and Much Ragtime
t.4ssociatsd PreSs)

BASE AMERICAN FLOTILLAS, in British Waters, Aug. 2-Authorization to spend all the money necessary to properly equip their new clubhouse with athletic apparatus and musical instruments has just been received by the American sailors from the navy department in Washington. The news was received with the greatest en- thusiasm by the men. It gives them what amounts 10 carte blanche in the matter of providing for their shore amusements over here.
 The first step upon receipt of the welcome news was to dispatch an or der to the United States for s1,000 worth of musical instruments to aug nent the string orchestra which en- tertains the men every Saturday night in their new clubhouse. Their order also calls for plentiful supply of the latest ragtime and other typi- cal American music which has made big hit with the native population.
 The next order will be for athletic apparatus 10 equip the gymnasium feature of the club now nearing com pletion. This equipment will include wrestling mats, punching bags, box
 ing gloves, weight machines, horses rowing machines and other fixtures essential to an up-to-date gymnasium floor. The gymnasium will be ready about August 10. Besides six baths there will be tea room and place where the men can purchase tobacco and light refreshments at pre-war prices.
 The concert hall feature of the club has been playing moving pictures and concerts to crowded houses for a month. It is generally patronized not only by the men but their officers. The British Commodore of the Port was the honored guest at show the other night, the feature of which was a lecture on flying at the western bat tlefront delivered by a Canadian ma ior in the Royal Flying Corps from Toronto The Major cut short his lecture tour in a nearby city to come over to entertain the American boys. His pictures took the bluejackets up and down the British and French lines in France.
 The majors active service at the front was cut short last year by drop from 12,500 feet. He was able to re- gain control of his machine. when near the ground and escaped with a severe shaking up. He is now lecturing for recruits to the flying corps and ex poets to shortly visit the United States to instruct young aviators.

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Try This! Brush Sage Tea and Sulphur
Compound Through Your Hair,
Taking One Strand At a Time

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell
because it's done so naturally, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture, though
at home is mussy and troublesome. For
so cents you can buy at any drug store
the ready-to-use preparation improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You just dampen q
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time. By morning
all gray hair disappears, and, after an
other application or two. your hair be-
comes beautifully darkened, glossy and
luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as We
all desire youthful and attractive ap-
pearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger, This ready
to-use preparation is delightful toilet
requisite and not a medicine. 1t is
not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention of disease. advt.
