Everybody uses “Wyeth's” Sage and_Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and, evenly that nobody can tell it has been ap- plied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time; gray hair has disappeared, and after another application it becomes beauti- fully dark and appears glossy and lus- trous. This ready-to-use preparation is a delightful vouthful appearance. It is not intend- ed for the cure, mitigation or preven- tion of disease. . LOUIS E.

School Committec Meets. \Mondav evening there was a meet- inz of the town sclool committee at which routine mattsrs of business were considered. The monthly ‘report of Superint-ndent H.

There are a number of prospects, men who have been interviewed and have signified their intention of comiang into the or- ganization. It is believed that this week’s developments at Washington will stimulate interest and that the enlistments will come faster. If this proves to be true, it is possible that the company may reach its required minimum number of 50 men by the end of the present week. Elect Assistant Manager.

Friday morning at re- cess a meeting of the school council was held principally to elect an as- stant manager for basebal. Kenneth Andem was elected by a unanimous vote. CONTENTS OF MESSAGE CLOSELY SAFEGUARDED Known to No One but the Printer— President Wilson Himself Read the Proof. \ ‘Washington, April 2.—Reluctant, up to the last moment, to take the final step in the long controversy with Germany, President Wilson showed as soon as he got up, early this morning, that he was ready for the inevitabls task. Before breakfast his address to con- gress, written by himself on his type- writer, was sent to the public printer in ‘a sealed envelope. Secretary Tu- multy was called to the \White House an hour earlier than usual and the the allied armies in Europe have titioned American Red <Cross head- querters at 'Washington for the right to form an organization here. If this is granted, as it seems certain it will be, the local organization will become affiliated and henceforth will devote all energy and time miven to such werk to the Intere: of the American Red Cross, as well as making the treasury fund available for the same organiza- tion. The Right to Draft. Persons who are watching national preparedpess going forward by leaps cial mental note of the fact that vol- unteers are not coming forward as rapidly as many expected, are specu- lating on what ultimately may be done er, possibly to war strength. Deyelop- ments of the next few days may bring recruits flocking to enlist in numbers not known since Spaunish war days, but in case this fails there is a rem- edy.

Realizing that it would be hours be- fore he could speak, the president freshened up on the golf links until noon. He received frequent bulletins on the progress of the organization of the house and expressed pleasure when told that Speaker Clark had been re-elected. Aithough it was the presidentss idea at first to wait until 2 o'clock on the house, and to post- pone his address until- tomorrow if preparations were not completed by that time, he changed his mind as the day wore on, an ddetermined to go to the capitol whenever the house was ready. Late in the afternoon Demo- cratic Leader Kitchin conferred with the White House by telephone and fixed the hour at 8 o'clock. The contents of the message were more closely guarded than ever be- fore. Not even members of the cabi- net were shown the text, although they knew in a general way what the pres- ident planned to say. Mr. Wilson read the proof of the address himself. Throughout the day members of the senate went to the White House for information but were given no details. The 'gnnldem saw no callers but dur- | ing the afternoon he went to the state, war and navy bullding to see Secre- tary Daniels and Secretary Lansing. SPAIN HAS CHECKED A REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT Labor Leaders Demanded a Change in Form of Government. Madrid, (Undated) By Way of the Spanish Frontier, via Paris. April 2, 3 p. m.—Stern measures adopted by the Spanish government have checked a widespread agitation which assumed 2 ct revolutionary aspect, al- Premier Romanones in a for- ‘Agal statement declares the govern- ment refuses to treat the movement as revolutionary. The troubles of the past yeek were based on a manifesto signed by 26 heads of labor ogzanizations in_ ail parts of the country reciting the griev- ances of Tthe workmen, attacking the present form of government and an- nouncing that a general strike would be inaugurated. The demand for a change in the form of government was regarded as more serious than _-the threat of a strike owing to the unrest that followed the upheaval in Russia. Under Martial Law. Sixteen of the leaders who signed the manifesto were arrested, charged with seditious utterances. The coun- try virtually has been placed under martial law by the suspension of the constitutional guarantees for free speech, speedy triai, etc. At the outset there was much ap- prehension of eventualities, but it is now believed the summary action of the government has postponed devel- ment of the movement. Troops Moved to Mining Section. Troops have been moved to Barce- lona and the northern mining section, where a large labor element exists, but the oniy serious disorder reported was at Valadolid, where a clash between workmen and gendarmerie led to the injury of three guardsmen. Madrid Remained Caim. The capital remained calm but ex- pectant, apparently believing that the events in Russia might lead to some- thing similar here. There is no doubt that the Russian movement and the republican resime in nearby Portugal has_stirred feeling in Spain alomg similar lines. It is also asserted that German inflience figured in stirring up discord so as to keep Spain fully occupjed with home affairs. . King Ready to Lead Troops. King Alfonso remained in the capi- reported to have told his adyvisors that | cials saiq the total strength was near- there would be no repetition of the experience of his cousin, Nicholas, in ing the authorized peace maximum of 120,000.

PREPARATIONS OF ARMY AND NAVY IN FULL SWING More Guardsmen Called Out—Re- cruiting Stations Show Big Gains. ‘Washington, April 2—Army and navy preparations were believed by officials tonight to have reached a stage guaranteeing against all imme- diate defense needs and insuring that the more sweeping steps congress is expected to authorjze can be carried out promptly. During the day more national guardsmen were called out into the federal service for police duty. mak- ing a total of more than 60,000 of the state troops now assigned to guard| against internal disorders. The war department also announced that in order not to handicap government con- struction work, all guardsmen who are government employes, or employes of private plants doing government work will be mustered out. ¥ The guard organizations called out ar Vermone—First Infantry. Virginia—Fourth Infantry, First and Second Coast Artillery, Battery D, Field Artillery. West Virginia—Setond Infantry. Connecticut—Second and Fourth companies, Coast Artillery.

UNPRECEDENTED DEMANDS FOR AMERICAN FLAGS Manufacturers Swamped With Orders "Beyond Their Capacity. New York, April 2—Unprecedented demands for American flags of all siz- es” have swamped flag manufacturers with orders far beyond their capacity, inquiry among local manufacturers here revealed today. The calls in the last 48 hours, it was said, have put the flag factories three to five days be- hind their orders. .
