COBLENZ. Jan. 13.-American mill
itary headquarters here has been
overrun in the last three days by
women bent on airing their love ar
fairs with American soldiers who
have departed, or are about to de-
part from Germany ar are turning
the place into a sort of domestic
relations court. Some of these women
want American soldiers already In
the United States to be returned
here so they can marry them; others
want to go to America to get mar
rled. Still others say they are will
ing to marry soldiers here, but first
want assurance that they will be
taken aboard the st. Mihiel.
Nearly every man unfortunate
enough to be in the guard house is
fortunate enough to- have some Ger
man girl asking that he be released
so that he might marry her.. All
sorts of complications have arisen
from the soldier marriages, or prom
ises to marry and other domestic
relations formed on the Rhine.
VIII Lay Down Law.
Headquarters Is about to issue
bulletin on the subject laying down
the law. The bulletin will explain
to the soldiers, first, that the laws
of the United States do not permit
a woman to acquire American citi-
zenship by marriage and calling at
tention to the law limiting the quota
of immigrants; second, that the
quota Of immigrants from Germany
is understood to be filled; third, that
soldiers wife must have passport,
and. fourth. the responsibility for
getting his wife to the United States
must be assumed by the soldier nus
band.
The chaplains have been trying to
straighten out these affairs: thew

PEACE IS DISTANT.

DEMANDS Of TURKS.
Fresh From Conference With
Renal, HaSSan Bey StartleS
the Lausanne Delegates
With His Attitude

LAUSANNE, Jan. 1S.-The voice of
far away Angora. heard today
through the mouth OF Hassan Boy.
who has just returned from the
capital, was so discordant to the
allied representatives that many OF
them were wondering tonight wheth-
er the Near East conference will ever
get anywhere in the matter of peace.
Ismet Pasha. who backed Hassan
Bey, could neither be threatened nor
cajoled into seeing the financial
questions affecting Turkey as the
allied delegates wanted him to see
making concessions and sacrifices
them He said the Turks had been
ever since they came to Lausanne,
allies reciprocated. ~
AS some of the allies feel they have
gone far enough in the matter OF
Cancellation they did not seem to
know whether to accept this as seri-
GUS. Ismet laughed outright for the
first time since the inauguration OF
the conference and most of the
European diplomats got the impress
sion that Mustapha Kenral Pasha's
favorite general was having his little
joke.
Allies Not Split
Far from being split asunder by
the Paris reparations differences,
France and England seem to be
working even closer together at
Lausanne. apparently with the su-
preme object of settling the peace
in the Near East as soon as possible.
The Turks Immediately scented this
policy and are not disposed to hurry,
The conference leaders summoned
today a meeting of the full commis-
sion on economic and financial Ques-
lions to act on the report of the
subcommission concerning the Otto
man debt. war damages and the ex-
penses of the allied occupation OF
Turkey.
This subcomnrission recommended
that the Turkish debt up to the time
of Che World war should be ap-
portioned among the territories de-
tached from Turkey such as Syria.
Mesopotamia, the Kingdom of the
Hedjas, Palestine and Albania. but
the Turks insisted that all debts In
Cured by Turkey during the war
should also be distributed among the
so-called succession states. These
debts, they said were incurred for
the good of all the former Turkish
empire, including those parts now
detached.

 The cablegram. which was from the Rev. Edward Kingsley Lowry, q re- turned missionary in China residing in Pekng, told of the conversion of 4,000 soldiers of the eleventh division, with General Feng assisting at the cere- mony. According to the board of for eign missions there were only about this number of soldiers remaining in General Feng's division who were not Christians so the board infers that this completes the personnel of this fighting group of China.
 It was General Feng and his elev- enth division which swooped down from Shensi province to the relief of Picking, then being defended by Gen eral Wu Pei Flu in the fighting of last summer. General Feng threw his men into the path of the victorious Man. churians and hurled them back in a defeat, which eventually resulted in rout. At that time the Christian sol diers wore arm bands containing the stern military ideals of their leader They advanced to the fray singing Christian hymns. This division is the only one in the Chinese army in which

TURN HAIR DARK
 WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed With Sulphur It Darkens So
 Naturally Nobody Can Tell.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulprur 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 arc living in an aGe when a youth ful appearance is of the greatest ad- vantage.
 Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" It is very popular because nobody can dis cover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb 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, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound, is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few appli- cations. it also produces that soft lus- tre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive.
