Hold Up Hotels Guests.
Before the landing of these forces
robbery and holdups in broad daylight
were of common occurrence, and In
February of this year the largest
hotel in the town was ra1ded by /

of money secured in this haul was

Despite all this glare and glitter of
night life there is much poverty in
Vladivostok. A large portion of the
male population of the city was called
to the colors in. 1914. The separation
of the Vladivostok contingent were
killed in the earlier stages of the
war; those returning being mostly
cripples and men unfit for hard man
ual labor. The pensions which the
wounded men were to receive, and the
allowances to the wives and families
of the men killed have been stopped
since the bolsheviki took over the
government. thus throwing a large
portion of the population on the char
ity of their more wealthy brethren.
The cost of commodities in Vladivo-
stok has gone up many times over
since the outbreak of war and many
things are unobtainable. The value
of the ruble is at the present time
about Is cents Mexican (6k cents);
at the outbreak of war it stood at
$1.0j Mexican (52 cents). Many i'm

PEKING. China, September e.
great Russian port of Vladivistok is
now one of the great centers for the
allied armies. At the end of March
commanders of the British and
Japanese ships in the port found it
necessary to land armed forces to pro-
tect the interests of their nationals
and to preserve order becaue the boil
shevik element had made a raid on
japanese business establishment and
attacked other foreign nationals in the
streets. The landing force was re-
quested 10 protest certain thorough
fares and wharves by the consular
body. which was afraide that an at
tempt might be made to blow up or
burn the vast quantity of stores which
had been sent by the allied govern
mentS to Russia. Before the downfall
of the car. however. the Siberian rail-
way was not able to handle the vast
quantity of military supplies which
ship after ship was dumping on the
wharves.. The stores were worth many
millions of dollars, and it was princi-
pally to save these from destruction
that the British and japanese landed
marines.

A Wartime Recipe
for Gray Hair

Gray, streaked or faded hair can be
Immediately made black. brown or
light brown, whichever shade you de-
sire, by the use of the following rem
edy that you can make at home:
Merely get a small box OF Orlex
powder at any drug store. 1t costs
very little and no extras to buy. Dis
solve it in water and comb it through
the hair. Full directions for mixing
and use come in each box.
You need not hesitate to use Orlex,
as a $4,000 gold bond comes in each
box guaranteeing the user that Orlex
powder does not contain silver. lead,
zinc, sulphur, mercury, aniline. coal
tar products or their derivatives.
1t does not rub off, is not sticky or
gummy and leaves the hair fluffy. 1t
will make a gray haired person look
twenty years younger.-adv.

ORDER TO BE
ENFORCED HERE

It is probable that active work look
ing to the enforcement of the govern
ment work or fight order and the Gas
slf1cation of essential labor in EScam-

labor board to have jurisdiction IN
such matters has been tentatively
formed and will probably consist OF
the following men: Fred Hathaway,
chairman, Maurice Bear and w. B.
Logan, members.
w. C. Cary of the U. S. Department
OF Labor. who is temporarily in charge
OF the labor recruiting office in the

membership of the board and expects
to have everything ready in the H@ar
future for an active survey of condi-

by NJ. F. Scott Of the labor depart
ment, who is assisting in the work.
The classification of essential and
non-essential industries will be made

in labor useless to the conduct of the
war are transferred to essential jobs
The primary motive in this move is to
See that the labor shortage in Escam-

Both Mr.. Cary and Mr.. Scott made
a trip to the navy yard yesterday
where a conference was held with Of
