Would Like to Continue His Work, But Has Never Let
 Attitude Be Known
WILL BE ABROAD
 WHEN THE DATE FOR
 RETIREMENT COMES
President May Decide to Re- appoint Surgeon General When He Reaches the
 Retirement Age
Fly HIGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, September S.-(SpeciaL)-It is a significant fact that Dr. W. c. Gorgas, surgeon general of the army. and perhaps the most distinguished Alabam- ian, who with Secretary Baker has just arrived in France, will be abroad on the date of his retirement, on account of age. from the service of the country
 Generally speaking, retirements are au- tomatic, and are never stayed save on request or insistence of the President. The fact that October g. when General Gorgas is slated for the retired list, will find him out of the country, may mean that the President has already deter mined to retain the services of this ex- perienced and invaluable officer.
 And yet General Gorgas will not, ask to be retained. He has already informed Secretary Baker that he will be always for the duration of the war-at the serv- ice of the government. But he has gone no further in this direction, and no further will he go.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-09-09
MAY TAKE ACTION

medical politicians would like to see Gen. eral Gorgas retired and one of their num- Der elevated to his berth, Alabamians in Congress would probably decline to pre-. sent, on their own initiative, the Gorgas case to the President. If these indica- tions continue, however, it is reasonably certain that the President will be in- formed that the date of the retirement approaches, and urged to request General Gorgas to continue to serve until the end of the war. They feel that the simple reminder would be sufficient.
 Should General Gorgas be retired, Gen. eral Noble in all probab bility, would de- sire the office of surgeon general. He is one of the most capable and popular men in the service. Another aspirant is understood to be pr. Franklin Martin, head of the medical division of the coun- cil of national defense. But in the event of the retirement of General Gorgas, the high office which he holds would prob- ably fall. to Dr. Ireland, surgeon on the personal staff of General Pershing.
 DIR. GORGAS' FAME
 When thousand comparatively minor but important achievements are elimi- mated, Dr. Gorgas' fame will probably rest on the result of his work in Panama.
 It is now generally admitted that pr. Gorgas, in making the country habitabe for others than natives, deserves more credit than any other individual for the production of the Panama canal He not only made temporarily healthful a country for years notorious for yellow fever and other dread diseases, but made it healthful permanently.
 He is as popular throughout the country as he is in Alabama. He is one of the most skillful, most famous men, and one of the most modest and retiring. When his work is done he will return to Tusca- of resting"

THE GENERALS DEsIRE

It may be stated on authority that Gem eral Gorgas would like to remain at the head of his department as long as the war lasts He was there at the begin- ming, and naturally would like to be there at the finish. There is said to be no question but that If the President knew the desire of General Gorgas he would ask him to remain. The fact that he has been dispatched out of the country on a most important errand would argue the executive conclusion that as a matter of fact, he will remain. And yet the Pres- idents reported ignorance as to the de- sire of the general, and the fact that re- tirements require no executive order, may result in the necessity for the selection of new head of the medical department.
 General Noble, another Alabamian, is General Gorgas chief assistant. Gen. eral Noble does not hesitate to declare the national need that General Gorgas remain at the head of the department. General Noble is believed to know that General Gorgas would like to remain. Yet General Noble has not been author ized by General Gorgas to make that de- sire known.

REPLY we'll TIMED
Former French Premier Writes
of Wilson's Note.
Says 1t Was Firm, Lofty and
Lacking Brutality.

Paris, Oct. 10.-Rene Viviani,
former premier. writing on President
Wilson's reply to Prince Macmillan,
in the Petit Journal says:
THE reply was we'll timed. Had it
come too soon it would have per-
mitted the Germans to say that it was
not born Of wise meditation. Had it
been sent too late it might have given
them the impression that the entente
nations were divided and had to come
to an agreement.
THE note is firm without brutality;
lofty but devoid of that insolence with
which Germany has so often accom-
panied her trampling of the van
pushed.
1T is substantial. furnishing ire
futable arguments for the reason and
conscience of everybody even in Ger
many. Some might have preferred
that it be more trenchant, but when
blood is flowing from so many gaping
wounds no man can lightly answer
with simple denial such proposals.
without leaving to Germany the ap-
parent profit of an appeal to human
ity. The note is skillful, with ample
skill which seeks a straight line in
stead of the mediocre tricks with
which commonplace diplomacy tangles

Wiison arrives at the cOndltlOn tnat

is not thrown at the enemy like a
challenge. 1t can only be answered by
an attitude which will illuminate Ger
many's good or bad faith and which
will prove to the world if sincerity in

ton.
IF the German designs are honest,

mental blemish which makes them

PR|ORITIES BOARD HERE
Henry Bennett of Topeka Chairman
Pleyna School Refused.

The Kansas priorities board. which
has charge of all building permits in
Kansas, has opened its headquarters in
the state house. Henry Bennett of
Topeka is chairman of the board and
meetings have been announced for the
first and third Saturdays of each
month. At these meetings all permits
will be considered and acted upon
Some classes of permits will be issued
by the chairman. These only include
repairs and additions to buildings cost
ing less than $4,000 and farm build
ings costing less than $1,000.
The general priorities board in
Washington has turned down an ap-
plication for a new school building at
Plevna and this is likely to form a
policy for the Kansas board to follow
At Plevna school is being held in the
churches and the priorities board
held that this arrangement ought to
be satisfactory for temporary period
as labor and materials are so greatly
needed in war work everywhere that
none could be spared for school work
when temporary arrangements had
been made. 1t was indicated that next
spring permit might be granted for
this structure. No new residences of
any nature may be erected without a
permit and the board has already
ruled against any elaborate residences
being erected for the period of the
war.
The board Is an organization of the
state council of defense and operates
thru the local county chairmen of the

AIR TRAFFIC ZONES
Need OF Air Cops Seen in Plans for
Mail by Airplane.

Chicago, Oct. 1o.-The possible
necessity for an 'air traffic cop" was
suggested here today in a statement
by Capt B. B. Lipsner of the air
mail division of the postoffice depart
ment, who declared that zones" had
already been defined in the air for the
safety Of planes carrying mail between
Chicago and New York.
Captain Lipsner said that all air
spaces between $500 feet and $500
feet levels had been reserved solely
for the government machines. All
other planes, private and commercial
he said, would have to fly below or
above that space.
Arrangement has been made by
the war and postoffice departments
whereby hundreds of war airplanes
available after the war, are to be used
in air mail SERVICE" said Captain
Lipsner.
Captain Lipsner was here to complete
details for the Inauguration of the
Chicago-New York regular mail serv-
ice on November 1.

Sage Tea Darkens
Hair to Any Shade
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an
old-tlme Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to it's nat
ural color dates back to grandmoth-
er's time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was APPLIED with won
derful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you get this famous old prep
aration, improved by the addition of
other ingredients, which can be de-
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this thru your hair, taking one strand
at a time. By morning the gray hair
disappears. and after another applica-
ton or two, it becomes beautifully
dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. Tt is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
ease.-Advertiseme

had ten years actual training in bust
ness-in fact, 1t was one OF the re-
quirements for consideration.

TO COURT OVER GUN
Kansans to High Justices With
Trouble Over Six-Shooter.

Trouble Over SfX-ShOOter.
William Tilghman is better known
as Bill Tilghman in southern Kansas
and Oklahoma. He happened to have
in his possession the other day a re-
volver, a real shootin' iron of large
bore and great power. The said gun
was claimed by another and a writ of
replevin was issued for it in Cowley
county. But there seemed to be some
hitch in the legal proceedings over
the ownership of the gun and Thigh
man went to Wichita to see some old
time friends.
Then a constable from Winfield
went to Wichita and arrested Thigh
man, handcuffed him and took him a
ride of fifty miles in a motor car,
Tilghman being charged twenty dol
lars for the trip. Tilghman was also
put in Jail and his lawyer, Bill, Hack
ney of Winfield, says his wrists were
swollen and he suffered from chill and
required medical aid.
Hackney then set out to get Bill
Tilghman out of Jail and the case
landed in the supreme court today on
an application for a writ of habeas
corpus The court issued the writ, re-
turnable October rs and the hearing
in the court will be November 7. To
read the long petition presented to
the court by Hackney in behalf of his
client would make one feel that that
motor car trip caused as great suffer-
ing to Tilghman as could possibly
como to an American soldier in
France. And besides that there was
the humiliation of going to Jail.
