Moscow Wireless to Zurich Says
BOlsheviki Have Been Asked
to Cease Fighting.
LONDON ADMITS GRAVITY
British Newspapers Comment on
Urgent Need Allied Troops
and Supplies.
(sy Associated Press.)

Zurich, July 23.-Poland has asked
the soviet government for immediate
cessation of hostilities and the dispatch
of a soviet military detachment to
meet the Poles. ito arrange an armistice,
according to wireless from Moscow re-
ceived here today.
London, July 23.-The Polish out
look appears increasingly menacing
to commentators in this mornings
newspapers. Poland not only is ex-
tremely hard pressed by the Bolshevik
armies, they say, but her territory is
already invaded. One of the papers
prints news purported to have been
received by the British foreign office
which says the Bolshevik right wing
has occupied Seiny, northwest of
Grodno and about thirty miles from the
nearest point on the German frontier
The Bolshevik capture of Grodno is
confirmed and the Reds also are re-
ported to have taken Bielostok, 10
miles from Warsaw, while in the south
they have entered Eastern Galicia.
The ministry of Premier Grabsk is
reported to have resigned, with the
administration entrusted to extreme
radicals, with the idea, it is said, that
such government would be better
able to make terms with the invaders
1t is stated that preparations are being
made for the evacuation of Warsaw.
Emphasis is laid on the danger to
the peace of all Europe by most of the
newspapers and the anti Bolshevik
papers see in the soviet's advance a
determination to destroy Poland. An
other fear expressed is that if the
Bolsheviki VIGOROUSLY reach the east
ern frontier of Germany, a Spartacist
or monarchist uprising there would be
inevitable, either of which, they say,
would be equally fatal to the recon

STRIKING MINERS
REFUSE TO MOVE

Marvel, Ala, July 23.-Striking
miners here have ignored an order of
the Corona Coal Company to vacate
company houses and their leaders say
the matter will be fought through the
courts. About 450 men are out in
this section. The men quit work when
the operators refused to sign con-
tracts based upon the so-called union
"blue book"
Recognition of the union and COL
lective bargaining are the only is
sues involved. The company has
posted notices about the camp calling
for men to work the mines but few
have responded.
The strike here started May 6 and
was part of walkout involving three
thousand men. Armed guards have
been placed about the camp but there
has been no disorder.

BEATS
BRAVES
Johnnie Jones and His Cohorts
Win Exciting Contest BY
Score of 9 to s.
(By Lucky Baldwin,.

There is sorrow in the wigwams
of the Braves.
Yesterday, gay in their war paint
and confident of victory, they went
forth to do battle with the Rotarians.
At night when the last lingering
rays Of sun had kissed the pine trees
good night, child of the palefaces
wrote the sable message: Rotary g.,
Kiwanis s."
From early afternoon until the eve
ming shadows were slanting long to-
ward the east, the battle ragged. Lit
tie Chief Langford and Brave Wallace,
Garrett and Rowan, Junius Daniels
and Frenkel, Raymond White and
Burke and Wallace Lamar all fought
we'll and wisely. For six long frames
the tide was with the Braves, until
Lamar, overcome by the terrible exer-
tions of the fray failed, and then the
day was lost.
Led by Johnnie Jones, the paleface
Rotarians wrought havoc in the ranks
of the Indians early in the battle.
With Willis and Welles, Lurton, Quina,
Fisher, Jim White and Hunter Brown
at his back, the plutocrat of Pensa-
cola filmdom won five Indian scalps
in the first attack.
AS Cortez in Mexico likened the
Aztec attacks to the sweeping of the
waves over the stones on the sea-
shore, so might the Rotarians have
spoken of the Braves when they re-
turned to the battle. In their second
attack, four paleface scalps were
added to the Kiwanis tribal cache
Again and again the Indians surged
into battle, each time adding to their
trophies.
But at last the tide of victory turned.
The Indians could gain no more, and
the paleface warriors, stung by taunts
and by the spectre of defeat drove
madly forward to ultimate victory.
Even this desperate last minute at
tack would have availed them moth
ing if Brave Lamar on the initial
sack had held the ball thrown to
him by Burke. Two paleface run
ners reached home safely because of
this fatal failure and the victory which
seemed so surely within the Kiwanis
grasp, was lost.
Just before the battle started, the
paleface medicine man, DOC" Ken
nedy, garbed in the uniform of his
office, bestowed upon the Rotary
hurler a potent charm of cabbage
weed. So powerful were the effects
of this that Brave Burke stole home
in the sixth while Hunter was look
ing for the ball.
Johnnie Jones capture of Kiwanian
Garrett's short fly to center field, |
which the Rotary leader threw to first

ing features of the day.
While the Braves and Rotarians |
battled on the field of honor the !
stands were filled with non-combat- !
ants of both sides. The inmates of !
the Women's Home were special
guests.
This morning there will be no burn |

was lost nor hilarious jubilations for |
the victory that was won. But deep in |

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE Ten.
Grandma kept her locks dark,
glossy and youthful with simple
mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

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 it to keep their hair a good,
even color, which is quite sensible.
as we are living in an age when q
youthful appearance Is of the
greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though. we don't have
the troublesome task Of gathering
the sage and the mussy mixing at
nome. All drug stores sell the ready
to-use product, improved by the
addition of other ingredients, called
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" 1t is very popular because
nobody can discover 1t has been APP
piled. Simply moisten your comb
or soft brush with 1t 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, besides beautifully darkening
the hair after few applications. 1t
also produces that soft lustre and
appearance of abundance which u
so attractive.
