100 GERMAN SHIPS
SEIZED BY j. 5,

Washington. April 6.-While a Anal
decision has not been reached, indica-
tons after to-day's cabinet meeting
were that nearly a hundred German
merchant vessels. taken over in differ
ent ports to-day, will be regarded as
the property of the American govern
ment and paid for after the war.
The vessels. laid up in American har-
bors for safety at the outbreak Of the
war in Europe, were seized early to-
day Immediately after the Houses pas
sage Of the war resolution. Their
crews will be removed to immigration
detention stations. there to be treated
az aliens admissible to the country If
able to pass the ordinary immigration
tests. The fact that many are naval
reservists will not serve to bar them.
There were indications to-day that
damage done to the ships by their crews
when relations between the United States
and Germany were broken will be repaired
as early as possible and the ships put
into the transatlantic trade to transport
supplies to the allies.
The total tonnage of the vessels seized
amounts to $4,000 gross tons. That ton.
mage could not be built in American
yards in less than year. and some OF
the larger ships. notably the vaderland
could not be produced in the United
States in several years.
All of the ships will have to be dry
locked before they can be made seawor
thy. Bureau of navigation officials
pointed to-day to practical difficulties thai
will delay repairs in that the ships will
fill the country's dry-docks for some time
to come. The great Vaderland. with ton
mage of $4,000. is too large to enter an,
of the American dry-docks. and will hav,
to be towed to Balboa to be locked
The earliest time estimated to put any O.
the vessels into service is three months
Many OF them cannot be repaired tina
soon.

SAGE AND SULPHUR
 DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded, IifeIess locks and they become dark,
 glossy, youthful.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and bea utiful, 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 mix ture by asking at any drug store for q 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which dark ems the hair so naturally, SO evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has teen applied, Besides, it takes off dandruff, stops scalp itching and fall ing hair. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what de- lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that. besides beauti- fully darkening the hair after a few applications. it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an ap- oearance of abundance.-Advertis nent.
