The Story Of a Strange
Photograph Of a Great
General

A great general, the idolized leader of
the most wonderful Army in the world, re-
Gently left France and went to England for
a short stay. While on the isle of Albion
this leader of men was requested to visit
a famous college, there to receive de-
gree, conferred on account of the generals
recognized services in the great war. So,
this dignihed soldier visited the college.
Unusual solen1nity marked the awarding of
the degree, and then the fun started. The
general was captured by the students, who
tossed him upon their shoulders, hazed him
and put him through all the initiation stunts
conferred upon the hardest freshman.
The photographer was present, and he
shipped snapshot to his newspaper-The
Sunday Star. In tomorrow's Rotogravure
Section you see this same great leader of
men, both feet in the air and wearing a
smile never seen on a battlefield, upon the
shoulders of bunch of jolly English stu
dents. It is picture in a million, and yet
it is but one feature of the Rotogravure
Section. Watch for these pictures:

LABOR DRIVEN TO ITS LIMIT
Hardest Of Hard Work Demanded Of
5oatmsn in the Early Days
of the Country.

The high moral courage Of the mis-
sionaries who strove to convert the
Indians OF the Canadian Northwest is
well illustrated by the life of Father
Lacombe, who dared to rebuke Chief
Factor Rowan of the Hudson Bay
company for heartlessness toward the
company's men. Katherine Hughes
describes the incident in her biography
of Father Lacombe. The factor and
the priest were journeying to Edmon-
ton In a keel boat, towed by a COM
pany Of cordeliers.
OF the boatman's toll Father La
combe has written: Imagine, If you
please, after resting few hours on
the bare earth, to hear at O'Clock the
cry, Level Lever ct puts, hurrah =
to pull and pull on the lines drawing
the heavy boat up against the current,
walking in the mud, the rocks. the
swamp, along cliffs. and sometimes in
water to their armplts-and this under
a burning sun or beating rain from
early morning until darkness fell about
9 o'clock. without having seen 1t one
can form no idea Of the hardships,
the cruel fatigues. Of these boatmen."

SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Restore
Color, Gloss and At
Effectiveness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for 'Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get large
bottle of this famous old recipe, inn
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, 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 sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive.-Ady.

RANKED WITH GREAT POETS
John GreenIeaf Whittier Has Written
His Name Among the lmmortals
of the Earth.

John Greenleaf Whittier, one OF the
best loved and most famous Of Amer
lean poets, and, perhaps, the most ar
dent abolitionlst known to United
States history, was born December II
near Haverhill. Mass. He was appren-
ticed to Journalism and became an ed
itor at the early age of twenty-five.
He held various editorial positions, and
throughout his life devoted himself to
the writing Of both prose and poetry
having no doubt deep inspiration in
that he belonged to the same age that
gave Emerson and Longfellow to Amer
lea and Tennyson and the Brownings
to England. With such as his contem-
poraries Whittier, being himself bless
ed with natural talents, could do no
less than what he did IN literature.
Whittier. however. is better known
| to fame because of his poems. His
prose is not so exalted, though true.
He wrote MY Psalm" Barclay of
Ury,- Barbara Frietchie," "At Sun
down" and various other wonderful
poems. He lived to be eighty-fve
years old. dying peacefully September
z, 1892.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you can not find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at first-yes-but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty Of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with Dan
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at
time. The effect is amazing-your hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
Rance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that 1t has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it if you will just try little Dan
derine.-Adv.

COMMISSIONS ON WORLDWIDE
PROBLEMS HEARD IN THE

Concerns War Debts and Debts Made
Before the War in Enemy Countries,
and Whether They Are to be
Paid or Repudiated.

Paris.-The council of the great
powers on March / began considera-
ton of financial and economic prob
lens as affecting both the treaty of
peace and permanent conditions after
the war. This subject is taken up
after weeks given to. hearings on terri
torial questions.
The subject was presented in two
specific reports. One was from the
financial commission of which Louis
Klitz, French minister of finance, is
chairman, and Albert Straus and Nor
man Davis are the American members.
The other report was from the eco
monte commission of which Albert
Clementel Of France is chairman and
Bernard NJ. Baruch, Vance Mccormick
and DR.. A. A. Davis are the American
members.
The financial commissions report
was brief, giving the main headings
of the vast financial reorganization
that is required. 1t does not embrace
Preparations and indemnities for the
war, as those subjects are being con-
/
ings were presented without recon-
mendations which are left to the coun-
Gil and the plenary conference.
One of the main headings concerns
war debts and debts made before the
war in enemy countries, and whether
they are to be paid or repudiated and
if paid, the manner and priority O
payments. Another heading deals witt
state property in territory taken over
such as state mines and state railways
Thus far, the proposal to redistrib
ute the war burden has not been con
sidered fayorably by the British, Amer
lean or Japanese members. The Brit
ish do not wish to add to their bur
dens by taking part of the continenta
burdens, while Japan believes sh
should hold aloof from European in
debtedness.

KILL AMERICANS
BANDITS SCORE MANY oUTRAGEs
I'M THE RICH TAMPIcO
OIL FIELDS.
Repeated Raids Result in Death of
Many American Citizens, the Serious
Injury Of Scores and Terrible
Loss in Property.

Washington.-A chronological state
ment of bandit outrages in the Tam
pico oil fields, compiled from official
sources, has been submitted to the
state department. The statement deals
with the period from August 10, 1917,
to the present and records the killing
of twelve men, including eight Ameri-
can citizens; the wounding or other
wise seriously injuring of thirty-one
people including nine women, some of
them Americans the theft of more
than $1S0,O00 in cash, American gold;
property destroyed valued at more
than $4,000, and the theft of much
live stock.
In all, lis raids, attacks, holdups
and battles are listed in the record,
which includes the depredations per
petrated upon the properties and en-
ployes of fourteen different oil com
panies.
Officials said that with few excep-
lions these depredations occurred in
| territory occupied and controlled by
the loyal Mexican forces sent to the
| oil fields in an effort to dislodge the
bandit Pelaez and that in many cases
| the regular Mexican soldiers were in
yolyed. By local law, foreigners are
Inot allowed to carry arms, so that lit
tle resistance could be made when the
bandits attacked.
The paymasters of the various com
panies, it was said here, are compelled
to notify Mexican officials at Tampicc
of the time when they propose to &C
to the outlying districts to pay EN-
ployes and the amount of money they
will take. In several instances, it wa
