Grey letter. He may not b pleased
because Lord Grey saw 6t to minEie
with members OF the American SEN
ste and discuss question: ct the
moment 80 vitality related to in
ternal politics. But his resentment
is only analogous to the anger
which was stirred In Britain when
Messrs. Dunno and Walsh went to
Ireland and mingled with the Sim
fe.ners and when President de Va
lera of Ireland not only was re-
ceived by the mayor OF New YORK
city,. but when 1t became known
tht De Valera was q frequent visitor
at the oflices of United States sena-
tors. Surely, argue my British
friends. the president would not
deny viscount Grey the opportun-
ity given to De Valera; for technic-
ally neither one had been received
nv our own government and the one
had as much privilege therefore as
the other.
To Much Precedent.
There is much unnecessary cere-
mony and fuss about precedents in
the conduct Of diplomacy and Presi-
dent Wilson has himself argued
that article II of the covenant will
give anybody. representing any ma
ton, the opportunity to bring be-
fore the assembly Of the league for
debate any question which may af-
feet the peace only not but the
good understanding between ma
tons. He has insisted that the
matter of ireland did affect the
good understanding between the
United States and Great Britain. 1t
is therefore the principle involved
in Viscount Grey's intimacies with
American senators followed as il
was by a public comment on q sub
ject that had become a matter OF
heated dispute between political
factions, and not the substance OF
his communication which is in
volved. If President Wilson per-
mits the incident to pass without
protest, formal or informal, to the
British government it will stand as
precedent and hereafter all gov
ernments will be able to point to il
as justification for direct inter
change Of views between parlia-
ments and senates and houses OF
congress on all matters of domestic
or foreign concern which touch
the fringe of international interest
"a direct interchange without the
necessary assent of the executive
| branches of modern states.

OF A BETTER CA.
Reprint of Article From the Carroll
ton Free Press Reporting Speech
of Hon. Clifford Walker Made in
Carrollton.

The address of Hon. Clifford Walk
err, Attorney General of Georgia, was
one of the most powerful and convin-
cling ever delivered in Carrollton on
Memorial Day. His main line of
thought is "the Improvement of Edu
cational Conditions in Georgia" and
in a most incisive manner he dealt
with the questions of Visiting MUIR
ses, Good Roads, Living Salaries,
Medical Examinations for our school
children, immigration Tests, and not
least of all, Bolshevism, that foul vul-
ture whose sable shadows are upon
every land. Surely everybody will
want Clifford Walker, princely and
patriotic as he is, a devout church
man, an active layman, constructive
statesman, an educational reformer,
for our next Governor. A very prom
inent man of our town who went to
school with him when they were boys
said to the writer, 81 have never
heard one word against Clifford
Walker. - (adv.)

FEW FOLKS HAVE.
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
hfeless, is caused by q lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands Of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears: but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound Is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives it
an appearance of abundance.
@Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful APP
pearance to the hair. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention of disease.

APOLOCIZESFOR
Her GERMANY
High Moment Recorder
At World Suffrage
Meet
By HELEN RING ROBINSON,
Colorado State Senator.
reporting International Suffrage

GENEVA, Switzerlan |, July g.
There were two High Moments at the
congress of the International Suf-
frage Alliance at Geneva. These
High Moments occurred, one at the
beginning, the other at the end of
the great gathering.
The most moving event ca the
last day of congress.
The place of Belgium was plainly
vacant at the congress. 1t was whis-
pered that the women of the Belgium
delegation felt they could not attend
the sessions and sit in conference
with German delegates who had "con-
sented," at least by silence, to the
invasion and desecration of their
country.
Women Meet Situation.
Adele Schrieber of Berlin, late
ly elected member of the National
German Paliament, and Adelaide
Popp of Vienna, the distinguished
Austrian writer, both of them dele
gates to the congress, met the stu
alton, and met it-greatly.
An invitation was extended to the
Swiss and French delegation, and
to individual members of the Ital-
ian, American and British delega-
tions to be present at special meet
ing in one of the halls of the Com
munity House that sheltered the
congress. Unfortunately there were
no Belgian women to ask. But there
were several Germans present.
Unofficial Apologies.
Before these representative wo--
men, NUMBERING ~erhaps hundred,

America as a writer, but better
known in Germany as the guardian of

childhood, rose with her white hair
and young face-a personality like a
hearth-fre.
She apologized, unoficially, as she
needs must, for the assault by Ger
manv on Belgium and for the need
less devastation of northern France
And Adelaide Popp who, more
than an other writer, has made the
world understand the life of the
working woman, followed her, re-
peating the apology for Austria s
sake, though still, perforce, unoai-
cially.
1t was indeed a high moment. A
moment the women privileged to be
present-some of whom had come
to the congress over abysses of pain
will never forget. Even now as !
write, it grips me by the throat.
Woman in Calvin's Pulpit.
The other moment came on the
opening Sunday when Maude Royden
preached from Calvin's pulpit in the
historic cathedral of Saint Peters
whose beginnings date back from the
tenth century.
There is no way of knowing
whether stern old John Calvin turned
in his grave that Sunday morning
when the girlish figure of the woman
preacher, in her Geneva cap and
gown, slowly mounted the winding
stairs of the pulpit from which he
used to thunder.
AS this first woman ever granted
the right to speak in the great Gene
va cathedral stood there in Calvin S
pulpit, facing an audience of thous-
ands drawn from the wide corners of
the earth, there was deep indraw-
ing of the breath of the woman-part
of the congregation. The sound was
plainly audible. 1t was at once like
hush-like a sigh-like a cheer.
There is no woman with a profoun-
der influence in Great Britain than
Maude Royden who breaches every
Sunday in the City Temple, London,
to packed congregations such as no
British bishop can command.
Prodigal Son Parable.
A passionate feminist, with the
sense of humor such feminists often
lack, she is a clear-eyed "humanist''
as well. The Mother Confessor" of
Hundreds of young women, house
maids and members of the peerage
alike, young men seek her out for
counsel also.
1t was most appropriate, the occa-
