States troops, or those of our allies. against the enemy. Three thousand six hundred and sixty-two tons of gas would have loaded about 100000 shells, two-thirds of them being 75 nm. and one-third 155 mm., number which is thought to be at least equal
 to the total number of gas shells fired by the American troops in acton Tn France, showing that, while American gas was not actually fired in American shells in the war, it was fired against the enemy, and that America fur- nished at least as much as she used.
 "In addition to this, 1S,6OO liven drums loaded with phosgene were shipped to France. These contained 279 tons of gas, and some of them, at least, were fired at the enemy. As soon as shells were available they were loaded with gas, and 25.OOO shells, 75 mn. caliber, were shipped to France on August z, 1918. On Au- gust another shipment of 5O,OOO shells of the same caliber was made. after which time shipments were made as fast as shell and boosters were available. f--
 '"The first shipment of shells would have reached France by September 1. They were unassembled. All com ponent parts, however. were shipped. The ordnance department decided in June to assemble gas shells in France. The time lost in such assembling Is the only reason for these shells and others not reaching the front before the armistice. @ &

TO TUNNEL CHANNEL

London-Fiye years would be re- .quired to complete the proposed tun- nel under the English channel from England to France, according to an authoritative estimate. It is said that in ordinary times the cost of the work would be about $S0,0OO GOO, but in view of the Increased cost of labor and materials, the expense involved would, under present conditions. be nearly S1OO.O0OO 900. ...
 The Daily Mail claims to have def. mite information that the British and French governments have agreed to the construction of the tunnel, and that the details now are being. dis cussed by special commission in Paris, which also is considering the building of tunnels under the Bos- phorus and the Strait of Gibraltar.
 The engineering plans for the chan mel, according to the Daily Mail, are so far advanced that work could be begun immediately.

COMB SAGE TEA IN @.s !. sgs7 HAIR TO DARK EN IT
its GrandmotheTs Recipe to keep
 her Locks Dark, Glossy, Beautiful.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray. streaked and faded hair is grand mothers recipe, and folks are again using 1t to keep their hair good, even color which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youth ful appearance is of the greatest ad- vantage. 1'@. z
 Nowadays, though. we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the Feady-to-use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called t'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound. It is very popular because nobody can discover 1t has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair. taking s one small strand at time: by morning the gray hair disappears. but what de lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, be. sides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications. it also pro- duces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive Adv u By @@49a

WAR GAS DUMPED
 . FAR OUT AT SEA

WaShinSton.-The first lot of poison gas which the American army devel- Oped and manufactured for use in kill ing Germans in the great spring drive, scheduled for 1919, but halted by the signing of the armistice, has been dis posed of by dumping it at sea. It con- sisted of 100000 poisOn-gas shells and some large drums or containers of pOir son gas, which have just been taken to sea from Baltimore and dropped into Davy Jones' locker. The gas dis posed of consisted of mustard gas and chlOrpicrin gas, both of which are very dangerous and could not be used com mercially.
 The 100000 gas shells were brought back from France on a transport about two weeks ago. After other cargo of the transport had been un- loaded the poison gas shells were taken in the same transport from Bal timore out to sea a distance of be- tween sixty and one hundred miles and dumped deep enough not to have any effect on navigation and far enough at sea not to have any effect on the coast. q =- Dangerous to Have Around.
 The containers taken to sea and dumped showed signs that they were soon about to begin to leak, as re- suit of chemical effect of the gas, and in the interest of safety these were taken to sea and disposed of under di- rections given by Major General Si- bert, head of the chemical warfare service.
 Ultimately all of the poison gas in drums will be disposed of in this fash ion, but until after the treaty of peace is signed the army will be in no hurry t6 get. rid of very valuable asset, and f it is not the plan to take all this gas to sea for. dumping until, after the signing of the peace treaty, except in those cases where, through containers showing signs of leaking or for other good reasons, it is considered in the interest of safety to dispose of the gas sooner. -n
 General Sibert submitted to General March, the chief Of staff, memoran- dum, in reply to the statement that no American gas shells were fired at the enemy. .s..+ F.. .e -sE 1 '4In June, 191S," the memorandum t5asserts, ""the following shipment of gases in bulk was made to the An1eri- Ecan forces in France to be exchanged for gas shell: Mustard gas, 15 tons chlorpicrIn, e7O5 tons; <phosgene, AS

 Belgrade is practically cut off from the interior, of Serbia because of de struction of the railways and the shocking condition of the roads. There are practically no young men in. the city.

 There are practically no children under three in Belgrade or elsewhere in Serbia, for that matter.
