Kraznoff. The Russians appeal also for moral allied support and recog- milton. Boishevism must be placed out side the pale Of society and declare that such a pronouncement on the part of the allies has never yet been made but would have tremendous influ- ence and importance.'
 A plan of military operations aimed at the bolsheviki is suggested by the Russian delegation. It proposes that the forces of Admiral Kolchak and General Denikine be joined and adds that if this were done three -fourths of the task would be accomplished and "the collapse of bolshevism would be only a matter of weeks" The next step proposed would be to sever the bolshevik communications between north and south Russia. The Russian delegation pointed out that General Denikine is being assisted by the al lies from the Black sea from which he was only six hours distant and they asserted that as soon a he had enough material he would move north and join Admiral Kolchak, and move toward ter in southeastern Russia.
 They declare that the armies of Gem eral Denikine and Admiral Ko1chak are Large and well organized but are now separated by the bolsheviki; and we are asking that they shall be sup ported. The physical force of bol- shevism can be easily and quickly dis sipated in this fashion"

were able to reach port and be repaired. Sir E. H. T. D'Eyncourt, director of
 naval contraction, invented the blister, which was first attached to four old cruisers. Patiently the navy waited for a test for two years, then, in June, 1917, the cruiser Grafton while steaming at 10 knots was struck amidships by tor pedo fired from a German submarine only 30 yards distant. The blister, which stuck out from the cruisers side about 10 feet, exploded the torpedo, and the Graf ton steamed back to port with only a slight list
 Improvements were made on the blis- ters and they were fitted to the sister monitors Erebus and Terror. Both these vessels mounting 15-inch guns, bombarded the Belgian coast for months. Both were torpedoed within a week and but for the protecting b1isters they would have been sunk. Three torpedoes struck the Erebus. two hitting the fore part of the monitor where the blister tapers off. As a pre- caution the Erebus was beached, but it was afterward found that she was less severly damaged than had been thought and she was subsequently, repaired. No ship ever~before survived three torpedoes.
 The navy now has about 50 blister ships in commission, including some of the first battle cruiser squadron. The new dreadnaughts Rodney, Howe and Hood are being fitted also with blisters.
 A sef-propelling projectile charged with 500 pounds of INT was perfeeted by the naval experts only short time before the armistice was signed. It IS believed to have strengthened materially the power and effectiveness of the Brit ish fleet. The projectile can be dls- charged without concussion from small boats or light platform. exploding on the contact or when fitted with a spe- cial device, below the water, thus serv- ing as a depth charge.
 An appartus for throwing a flame for a distance of 240 feet, as water is thrown from a hose, was rigged on one of the vessels that took part in the raid on Zeebrugge. But before it could De used a shell from the enemy batteries put it out of action.
 Another invention is a gun to fire sig nals from submerged submarines. It sends star shell 300 feet into the air.
 Several kinds of smoke screen were in- vented, most of them for the purpose Of baffling U-boats. powerful flare equal to 100000 candle power was another achievement of the naval inventors which was used with great effect against enemy submarines waiting on the surface at night to attack merchant ships. These flares, suddenly ignited, turned night into day, and in the Straits of Dover alone r U-boats were caught by their aid and sunk.
 The work of developing these inven- tions was carried on by the Royal Naval Experimental station near London. Its staff comprised of 25 officers and 1850 men, all experts either in research or work, most of them being chemists or engineers.

ACTRESS TELLS SECRET
A We'll Known Actress Tells How to Darken Gray Hair With Sim
 pie Home Made Mixture

Joicey Williams, the well known American actress, who was recently playing at the Imperial Theatre in St Louis, Mo. made the following statement about gray hair and how to darken it:
 Anyone can prepare a simple mix ture at home, at very little cost, that will darken gray, streaked or faded hair and make it soft and glossy. To half pint of water add l ounce of bay rum, a small box of Barbo Compound, and l ounce glycerine. These ingred- ients can be bought at arfy drug store at very little cost, or any druggist can put it up for you. Apply to the hair twice a week until the desired shade is obtained. This will make a gray haired person look 20 years younger. It does not color the scalp, is not sticky or greasy and does not rub off.

UKRAINIANS WANT

Can Use Small Allied Patrol Force,

By Associated Press

London. January 20.- Use of only a small volunteer force of allied troops to maintain order in the Ukraine is re- quested by the representatives of Rus sian political organizations in Lon don in statement issued here pur- porting to set forth their views.
 The statement-expressly declares that except for the assistance of a small allied detachment that could be brought from the Black sea to maintain order in the Ukraine, the Russians ask for no allied troops at all, only for material. Russia is able and willing and much prefers to rehabilitate herself with her own forces"
 They also ask for war material rifles and especially aircraft and tanks. These, they say. should be supplied to Russia's own army comprising 250,- GOO men under Admiral Kolchak, with headquarters at Omsk, and another 250,0O0 men under the command of General Denikins, who is reported to have just joined forces with those of the Cossack leader on the Don, General
