Members of the Pine Bluff Rotary club and their ladies who will attend the district conference to be held in Little Rock next Tuesday and Wednes- day, probably will make the trip to the capital in special car.

 Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com pounded, brings back the natural col or and lustre to the hair when faded, streahed or gray. Years ago the only way to get this miXture.was to make it at home, which is mussy and trou- blesome Nowadays. by asking at any drug store for Wyeth's Sage and sul- phur Compound" you will get a large recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, at small cost.
 Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair. as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time: by morning the gray hair disappears, and after an other application of two, your hair be- comes beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a deliahtful toilet requisite for those who desire dark hair and a youthful appearance. It is not intend ed for the cure. mitigation or preven- tion of disease.-Advt

MANY PROTESTS BY TEU10NS ON
 ATTACK 0N RUSS 
Press of Both Countries Op- posed to Germans New
 War on Bolshevili.

London, Feb. 20.-Germany's new war against Russia apparently is not popular with the German or Austrian people according to comment in the press of the two countries.
 When the Brest-Litovsk negotia- tions closed. all talk in Germany was of peace. The school children were given a holiday and jolly bells were rung. The public apparently did not discriminate between peace with the Ukraine and with Great Russia but acclaimed it as general peace with Russia.
 George Bernhardt in the Vossische Zeitung emphasizes this point and wants an explanation of who was re- sponsble for this disappointment. The Socialist Volwaerts takes the same line and says:
 "The more We meddle in Russian af- fairs the more we get away from peace. What must be done is to stick to the defense of our own soil and to make peace wherever possible with out annexation or forcible amputa- tions."
 A large section of opinion in Au- stria- Hungary also is alarmed over the prospect of renewal of war with Russia.
 Dispatches from Amsterdam and Zurich quote Austro- Hungarian news papers to this effect and Vienna dis- patch to the Vossische Zeitung reports rising of feeling against Germany on account of her action against Russia.
 The Neue Freie Presse and the Reichspot argue that as Austria Hungary no longer has any enemies on her eastern borders she is not called to interference in Russi inter- nal affairs. The Arbiter Zeitung Vienna's leading socialist newspaper insists emphatically that Austria Hun gary must not take part in a new of ensive. It thinks that the invasion of totally defenseless country will gain the German government little support among the German workers who although they entered the wal against Czardom with enthusiasm will not endorse it's continuance fol the purpose of overthrowing the labol government in Petrograd.
 Austria Hungary it adds, "can, not hinder the plans of the German imperialists but it cannot and dare not join Germany in new war on Rus sia. This appears also to be the view of the emperor nd the government but the people demand from Count Czernin (the foreign secretary) abso lute assurance that Austria Hungary regards her war with Russia as ended"

Washington, Feb. 20.-"We can no longer believe in the pacific in- tentions of Russia and must see that peace and order prevail in the occu- pied regnons of the adjoining coun- tries," Dr. von Kuelmann, the Ger man foreign minister declared in ad- dressing the reichstag main commit tee yesterday.
 The foreign minister said he hoped Germany's new war with Russia would strengthen the inclination for peace at Petrograd.
 "Even today" he added, i've are prepared to conclude a peace which corresponds with our interests"
 The foreign secretary read the wire less dispatch from the Bolesheviki an nouncing that they found it necessary to sign a peace agreement on the terms dictated by the central powers He said he would like to warn the members of the reichstag main com- mittee against the belief that peace with Russia was in their pockets, add ing, "peace with Russia will have been arrived at only when the signatures on the treaty are dry"

 We have used Thedfords Black Draught in our family for years, as a, liver and stomach medicine. 1 have used it for indigestion and on the stomach, for bloating and disagree able taste in the mouth.

MAY GIVE K. R. MEN DEFERRED
 CLASSIFICATION
Railroad Administration and War Department Con-
 fer On Plan.

Washington, Feb. 2O.-Deferred draft classification for railroad em- ployes is under consideration between the war department and the railroad administration, it became known to- day.
 The war department objects to giving special consideration to rail way employees as class, insisting that the case of each man should be considered individually as to whether he is indispensable.
 This policy does not satisfy the railroad administration, which con- tends that few railroad men are act ually indispensable, and that unless some uniform action is prescribed local exemption board may be- in clined to refuse deferred classifl cation to thousands of necessary em- ployes who have no dependents. Nearly 500,000 railroad men are with in the draft age. But the actual number which would be affected by such ruling is estimated at less than 100000.
 Secretary Baker authorized the statement today that no date had been selected for the beginning of the sec ond draft. Various estimates have placed the time between March 1 and June 1.
 The governments disposition not to disturb the labor situation, partic- ularly on farms at the planting season, is one of the factors entering into the situation.
 no1 n flee, it is understood, is disinclined to go ahead with the second draft until congress has perfected the law to change the basis of appCrtionment and to authorize the president to call into the military service men skilled in industry and agriculture regard less of previous classification
 Remaining increments of the first draft will begin to move forward to camps this week.
