GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother's Old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea and

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly com
pounded, brings back the natural color
and luster to the hair when faded,
streaked or gray. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was to make It

drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul

Don't stay gray! Try it: No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
Ihrough your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap

WEDNESDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH APRIL 19. 1916
DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH GERMANY MAY
! BE SEVERED UNLESS U-BOAT ATTACKS CEASE
[Continued From First Page]
; by the express assent of all civilized
| nations.
Disregards Protest \
Notwithstanding the earnest protest
i of our government, the imperial Ger
| man government at once proceeded to
I carry out the policy it had announced.
; It expressed the hope that the dangers
involved, at any rate the dangers to
; neutral vessels, would be reduced to a
] minimum by the Instructions which it
I had issued to its submarine command
! ers and assured the government of
the United States that it would take
I every possible precaution both to re
i spect the rights of neutrals and to
i safeguard the lives of noncoinbatants.
Recites Happenings
What has actually happened In the
year which has since elapsed has
shown that those hopes were not jus-
I titled, those assurances insusceptible
oi' being fulfilled. In pursuance of the
policy of submarine warfare against
the commerce of its adversaries thus
j announced and entered upon by the
! imperial German government in spite
of the solemn protest, of tills govern
ment, the commanders of German
j undersea vessels have attacked mer
! chant ships with greater and greater
activity, not only upon the high seas
surrounding Great Britain and Ire
land. but wherever they could en
| counter them, in a way that has grown
more and more ruthless, more and
I more Indiscriminate, as the months
j have gone by, less and less observant
|of restraints of any kind; and have
! delivered their attacks without com
! punction against, vessels of every na
! tionality and belligerent upon every
sort of errand.
Tragedy Follows Tragedy
Vessels of neutral ownership, even
■ vessels of neutral ownership bound
| from neutral port to neutral port, have
i been destroyed along with vessels of
I belligerent ownership In constantly in
creasing numbers. Some times the
| merchantman attacked has been
j warned and summoned to surrender
I before being fired on or torpedoed:
I sometimes passengers or crews have
I been vouchsafed the poor security of
being allowed to take to the ship's
I boats before she was sent to the bot
tom. But again and again no warn
ing has been given, no escape even' to
| the ship's boats allowed to those on
board. What this government fore
saw must happen has happened.
Tragedy has followed tragedy on the
i seas in such fashion, with such at
tendant circumstances, as to make it
j grossly evident that warfare of such a
sort, if warfare it be, cannot be car
ried on without the most palpable vio
lation of the dictates alike of rights
i and humanity.
"Whatever the disposition and inten
tion of the Imperial German govern
ment, It has manifestly proved Impos
sible for it to keep such methods of
attack upon the commerce of its ene
mies within the bounds set by either
the reason or the heart of mankind.
"In February of the present year the
Imperial German government inform
ed this government and the other neu
tral governments of the world that il
has reason to believe that the govern
ment of Great Gritain bad armed all
i merchant vessels of British ownership
| and had given them secret orders to
i attack any submarine of the enemy
jtliey might encounter upon the seas,
; and that the Imperial government felt
in the circumstances in treat
ling all armed merchantment of bellig
erent ownership as auxiliary vessels of
I war, which it would have the right to
destroy without warning. The law of
'nations has long recognized the right
!of merchantmen to carry arms for
protection and to use them to repel
attack, though the use of them in such
j circumstances, at their own risk: but
I the Imperial German government
I claimed the right to set these under
standings aside in circumstances which
lit deemed extraordinary. Even the
terms in which it announced Its pur
pose thus still further to relax the re
straints it had previously professed Its
willingness and desire to put upon the
operations of its submarines carried
tlie plain implication that at least the
j vessels which were not armed would
still be exempt from destruction with
out warning and that personal safety
J would be accorded their passengers
jand crews; but even that limitation if
jit was ever practicable to observe it
| has in fact constituted no check at all
j upon the destruction of ships of every
! sort.
"Again and again the Imperial Ger
man government has given this gov
-1 eminent its solemn assurances that at
least passenger ships would not be
thus dealt with, ami yet it lias again
and again permitted its undersea com
manders to disregard these assurances
| with entire impunity. Great liners
j like the l.usltaula and the Arable and
! mire ferryboats like the .Sussex have
j been attacked without a moment's
warning some time before they had
i even become aware that they were in
j the presence of an armed vessel of the
enemy and the lives of non-combatant
| passengers and crews, liave been sacri
ficed wholesale, in a manner which the
government of the United States can

not but regard as wanton and without
i (lio slightest color of justification. No
I limit of any kind has in fact been set
!to the indiscriminate pursuit and de
ist ruction of merchantmen of all kinds
and nationalities within the waters,
constantly extending in area where
| these operations have been carried on:
land the roll of Americans who have
| lost their lives on ships thus attacked
I and destroyed has grown month by
month until the toll has mounted into
, the hundreds.
Cites Shocking Instances
I "One of the latest aiul most shock
ing instances of this modi' of warfare
| was that of the destruction or the
French cross channel steamer Sussex:
it must stand forth as the sinking of
the steamer Lusitania and, as so sin
gularly tragical and unjustifiable as to
constitute a truly terrible example of
(lie inhumanity of submarine warfare
as the commanders of German vessels
have for the past 12 months been con
ducting it.
"Tf this instance stood alone, some
explanation, some disavowal by the
German government, some evidence of
criminal mistake or wilful disobe
dience on the part of the commander
of the vessel that tired the torpedo
might he sought or entertained: but
unhappily il does not stand alone.
Recent events make the conclusion in
evitable that it is only one instance,
even though it be one of the most ex
treme and distressing instances, of the
spirit and method of warfare which
the imperial German government lias
mistakenly adopted, and which from
the first expressed that government to
the reproach of thrusting all neutral
rights aside in pursuit of its immediate
objects. ,
The government of the United
States lias been very patient. At
every stage of this distressing experi
ence of tragedy after tragedy in which
its own citizens were involved it has
sought to be restrained from any ex
treme course of action or of protest
by a thoughtful consideration of the
extraordinary circumstances of this
i':iprecedented war, and actuated in
all that it said o* did by the senti
ments of genuine friendship which
the people of the United States have
always entertained and continue to
entertain towards the German nation.
It has, of course, accepted the succes
sive explanations and assurances of
the Imperial Gorman Government as
given in entire sincerity and good
tii'th, and has hoped, even against
hope, that it would prove to bo pos
sible for the German Government so
to order and control the acts of its
naval commanders to square its policy
with the principles <>f humanity as
embodied in the law of nations. It has
been willing to wait until the signifi
cance of the facts became absolutely
unmistakable and susceptible of hut
one interpretation.
That point has now unhappily been
reached. The facts are susceptible of
but one interpretation. The Imperial
German Government has been unable
to put any limits or restraints upon its
warfare against either freight or pas
senger -hips. It has. therefore, be
come | >ll in fully evident that the posi
tion which this government took at
tile very outset is Inevitable, namely,
that the use or submarines for the de
struction of an enemy's commerce is
of necessity, because of the very char
acter of the vessels employed and the
very methods of attack which their
employment of course involves. Incom
patible with the principles of human
ity, the lone-established and Incontro
vertible rights of neutrals, and the
sacred Immunities of noncomhatants.
I have deemed it my duty, there
fore, to say to the Imperial German
Government that if II is still its pur
post* to prosecute relentless and indis
criminate warfare against vessels of
commerce by the use of submarines,
notwithstanding the now demonstrated
im|H>ssibillty of conducting that war
fare in accordance with what the gov
ernment of the United Slates must con
sider the sacred and Indisputable
rules of Internationa] law, and the uni
versally recognized dictates of human
ity, the government of the United
States i-. at last forced to the conclu
sion that there is but one course it can
pursue: and that unless the Imperial
German Government should now im
mediately declare and effect all aban
donment of its present methods of
warfare against passenger and freight -
carrying vessels, this government can
liave no cholee but to sever diplomatic
relations with the government of the
German Empire altogether.
This decision I have arrived at with
the keenest regret; the possibility of
the action contemplated I am sure all
thoughtful Americans will look for
ward to with unaffected reluctance,
lint we cannot forget that we arc in
some sort and by the force of circum
stances the responsible spokesmen of
the rights of humanity, and that we
cannot remain silent while those rights
seem in process of being swept utterly
away in the maelstrom of this terrible
war. We owe it to a due regard for
our rights as a nation, to our sense of
duty as ii representative of the rights
of neutrals the world over, and to a
just conception of the rights of man-
I kind to take this stand now with the
utmost solemnity and firmness.
I have taken it, and taken it in the
confidence that it will meet with your
approval and support. All sober
minded men must unite in hoping that
the Imperial German Government,
which has In other circumstances
stood as the champion of all that we
are now contending for in. the interest
of humanity, may recognize the jus
tice of our demands and meet them in
the spirit in which they are made.
Women in Galleries
Representatives of the allied coun
tries filled the diplomatic galleries of
the House. Women ruled in the pub
lic galleries, less than twenty men find
ing places in the six hundred seats.
Mrs. Wilson was in the executive par
ty.
As the President entered the cham
ber just before 1 o'clock an outburst of
applause gave way to loud cheering.
During this demonstration the Presi
dent shook hands with the Speaker
and the Vice-President and then
bowed fo the assemblage.
Speaks Slow and Distinct
The President began his address
speaking slowly and distinctly. His
voice was heard throughout the cham
ber.
As the President began the review
of the German submarine campaign
there was no demonstration to punc
tuate his recitation of the sacrifice of
American lives. Every head bowed
forward as the President indicated
that he was approaching the keynote
of hiu message.
Tense Silence
When he pronounced the words of
the ultimatum declaring that unless
Germany should Immediately declare
and effect an abandonment of Indis
criminate submarine warfare this gov
ernment would have no choice but to
sever diplomatic relations, there was
no demonstration, only a tense silence
and a reflection of the gravity of his
words.
When lie concluded with expression
of hope that Germany would so act
to avert a regrettable break with Am
erica, the assembly broke into cheers.
Text of Note, To-morrow
It was 1.14 o'clock when the Presi
dent concluded. He had spoken fif
teen minutes. Applause started from
the Democratic side, and the Repub
lican members joined. Democrats rose
to their feet and soon the entire as
semblage was standing. The applause
lasted perhaps a minute and, after the
President passed out of the chamber,
died away.
The text, of the note to Germany will
be given out by the State Department
probably for publication to-morrow
morning.
War May Follow
The President consults Congress at
this stage, it was pointed out. because,
while he has the authority to break off
diplomatic relations. Congress alone
has power to declare war, and there is
only oite instance in modern history
where a, break in diplomatic relations
between two first-class powers has not
been followed by war. It Is the situ
ation between Germany and Italy.
First-class powers have suspended
relations with lesser States and lesser
States have broken between themselves
without hostilities but all diplomatic
history points to a state of war when
two tirst-class powers reach th'at point.
Ambassador Surprised
Exactly what the procedure will be
after the President's address to Con
gress was to-day still obscured by as
much secrecy as it was last night.
There is only one instance in mod
ern diplomatic history where the se
verance of diplomatic relations has
not ultimately led to war, and the
gravity of the situation was plainly
evident in all quarters.
Count Von Bernstorff, the German
ambassador apparently was taken
completely by surprise over the sudden
turn in events, as Were members of
Congress and official Washington gen
erally. Nevertheless, the ambassa
dor refused to abandon hope that the
situation would be solved amicably.
Wall Street Accepts
Latest Developments
With Much Misgiving
By Associated Press
New York, April 19.—Wall Street
accepted latest developments in the
German controversy with misgiving,
judging from the weak tone of the
stock market at t lie opening to-day.
War shares and all the better known
specialties broke from one to almost
three points, the entire list, reflecting
hurried liquidation. Bethlehem Steel
broke 19 points to 421.
The railroads and other representa
tive stocks were under better control,
but the decline was broader and ac
companied by greater activity than

The President"s decision to submit

came as a great surprise to the
financial district.

WOMAN WINS A
"PARDON OF STATE
Mrs. Derby Argues Case and
Gels Decision Before Board
Leaves Bench
Mrs. Elizabeth Derby, representing
some religious and charitable organ
izations in Philadelphia and one of the
few women to appear before the State
Board of Pardons, to-day won a rec
ommendation for pardon for Charles
Miller, Chester county, convicted of
forgery. Miller was twice refused par
don, but Mrs. Derby secured a rehear
ing for him and to-day presented a
plea for pardon. She contended that
there had been a mistake in Identi
fication and after considerable discus
sion was informed by Dieutcnant-
Governor McC'lain that she could in
form Miller that the board would rec
ommend n pardon.
Mr. McClain said thai her case had
the merit of persistence as well as
some other points, and that while he
did not let his heart sway him In par
don cases, he felt the action war
ranted.
The board heard two applications
for commutation of death sentences
and will announce decisions to-night.
Exchange and many speculative hold
ings were abruptly closed out.
Declines were extended in almost
all directions, the munitions receding
four to six points, from yesterday's
close. Anglo-French bonds were un
loaded in blocks of 100.000 and 200.-
000. Sales of the first hour approxi

Colonel Asserts Wilson
Is Shirking in Laying
Crisis Before Congress
Oyster Bay, N. Y., April 19.—Colo
nel Roosevelt believes that President
Wilson is failing to perform his duties
of leadership in calling a joint session
of Congress to lay before them the Is
sues of the submarine controversy with
Germany. He feels that the President
is shirking his responsibilities and
that, furthermore, he has only himself
| to blame for the position in which the
nation now finds itself.
I Word reached Sagamore Hill of
| President Wilson's action in this new
jest phase of the submarine issue last
evening, f'olonel Roosevelt was great
ly interested in it, and, while he re
fused to make any comment for pub
i lication, his opinion can be definitely
set forth.
It is known that Roosevelt blames
| the present troubles of the t'nited
j States, as well as all of those of an
, international nature which have come
|to pass since 1912, on President Wil
son's foreign policy. A strong foreign
policy would have prevented the sink
ing of the Dusitania, believes Colonel
Roosevelt; it would have prevented
other incidents humiliating and disas
trous to this country and which oc
curred before the Lusitania tragedy,
and it would have made impossible
similar succeeding tragedies that have
followed the Lusitania disaster.
Colonel Roosevelt condemns Mr.
J Wilson's action in now summoning a
joint session of Congress to put the
I U-boat issues to them, for one reason,
| because he believes it is the duty of a
| leader to lead, and for another because
! you cannot conduct tho affairs of a na-
J tlon by town meeting. Further .than
that, the colonel's opinion was that
[Congress cannot wisely determine the
{ issues wholly created by the autliori
j tative arm of the government.
I it is the ex-President's belief that
I under tne constitution the President, is
directed to conduct negotiations with
i foreign powers, and by that token he
is the one who should assume the
! leadership of the United States in all
s problems affecting so vitally the honor
and dignity of the nation.
The colonel has indicated before
[that a weak foreign policy causes more
wars than it prevents, and the word
j cowardice has appeared in more than
I one of Roosevelt's recent statements
dealing with President Wilson's hand
ling of Mexican and European affairs.
The colonel views Mr. Wilson's ac
tion in keeping with the Wilsonian
florid style, whether written, spoken,
or acted, as it has been manifested
| during the past year or more, and he
! feels that Mr. Wilson's policy lias been
! one of the diluted milk and mush, and
! his failure to put the country in a
'.State of preparedness at such a criti
cal period in its history has been one
I of the evil byproducts of this policy.

WHO'S WHO IN
PENNSYLVANIA?
"Penrose" Is Governor Meek
Austrian Tells Judge
Witnier
"Who is Governor of Pennsylvania?"
"Penrose!" '•
The meekest looking ex-subject of
Franz Josef in all the expectant group
tliat filled No. 2 courtroom at Spring
naturalization court to-day carefully
made that answer when the Federal
court examiner quizzed him as to
"who's who" in Pennsylvania's guber
natorial chair.
That was only one of a lot of curi
ous answers that greeted the questions
of the court examiner. Here's another:
"How long is the term of the Presi
dent of the United States?"
"Fifteen years!"
The Change of Flags
Some fifty-odd former sons of Aus
tria, Hungary, Greece and most of the
other countries of Europe foreswore
allegiance to king and emperor to-day
and legally took shelter for all time
under the eagle's wings. Half a dozen
or more applications were rejected be
cause the court was not satisfied en
tirely as to the length of time the
applicants had been residents here.
Oddly enough, most of the would-be
new citizens of the United States were
Austrians; one was Greek, one was a
Canadian—but there was not a single
German in all that big crowd. One
Austrian, a baker, who has waited
many years for his papers, furtively
dried the tears as he forsook allegiance
to Austria's emperor.
Some well-known citizens, inciden
telly, appeared as witnesses. Mayor
E. S. Meals, Donald McCormick, presi
dent of the Dauphin Deposit Trust
Company, Freeman C. Gerberich and
ex-County Commissioner John C, liby.
The Argument Session
Prior to the opening of naturaliza
tion court Federal Judge C. B. Witmer
heard argument on the petition to
quush the action in trespass brought
by Attorney Earl E. Renn for William
R. Watson against the Pennsylvania
1-iallroad Company. Watson, who was
hurt at the Ducknow shops, has sued
for $20,000 damages and the action
was brought in the Federal court be
cause of the interstate commerce con
nections of the railroad company. The
company, represented by C. H. Berg
ner, wanted the summons dismissed
because service on the defendant had
been made after the return day, the
day set apart for the sheriff to report
o!' having made service of the sum
mons. had passed. Mr. Renn con
tended that the defendant's endorse
ment on receipt of the summons was
sufficient under the 1315 practices act
to warrant the court in dismissing the*
plaintiff's rule and to permit the case
to go on the list.

dispositions have the department's
entire approval."
Await Advices
Decision of the Washington govern
ment upon the question as to whether
: the American forces hunting Villa
! shall be recalled or reinforced for
further operations, to-day awaited the
receipt of further reports from Amer
ican ofHcers in Mexico. General
I Funston already has submitted a
lengthy report of the situation and
additional advices from him are
momentarily expected. Meanwhile,
indications are that the chase for Villa
is at a standstill.
May Be Withdrawn
The general belief here is that the
German situation would have some
bearing upon the impending decision.
Should a break in diplomatic relations
I occur, it was pointed out that the
i troops now in Mexico would be needed
at home as military prudence would
require that steps be taken to prepare
for eventualities in Europe.
It was suggested that inasmuch as
the main purpose of the expedition,
the protection of the border, lias been
accomplished, an agreement for the
withdrawal % might be reached with
| General Carranza on the basis that if
A'illa or his bandits again head north
ward American troops would again
cros3 the international line.
Wants to Shift
It is known that General Funston
has been urging the department that
he be permitted to shift his head
quarters and the border base in order
to shorten his line of communications.
The department apparently has
hesitated to authorize any radical
change in the status of the expedition,
in the face of requests Trom General
Carranza that the troops be recalled
, believing it might be intendent to in
crease anti-American feelings.
Until the German situation is
clearly understood it is impossible to
i forecast the administration's decision
as to Pershing's expedition. Military
observers appear to agree that some
radical move must be made soon
either to back up the troops in Mex
ico or to withdraw them, as in their
present condition officers feel they
are unable to press the pursuit of
Villa properly and their presence only
serves to irritate the Mexico people.
It is believed that General Funston's
decision yesterday to place nearly 3,-
000 additional troops of his border
forces at General Pershing's disposal
aroused the department to determine
upon the course to pursue with as
little delay as possible.
General Scott is acquainted with
Villa and witli many Carranza offi
cials and with his knowledge of the
border and the confidential Informa
tion General Funston is able to supply
he will be able to advise Secretary
Baker.
Concentrating Forces
Confirmation of reports that the
American expeditionary force was be
ing concentrated at three points in
Mexico preparatory either for the
withdrawal of the troops or the or
ganization of a new and more exten
sive campaign was received here to
day from Mexican sources.
It was said that General Pershing
had withdrawn all outlying detach
ments south of Natuiquipa and that in
the neighborhood of 3,000 men wore
camped at San Antonio, twelve miles
west of Cusiliuiriachlc, and that, a
force estimated at almost double this
number was being concentrated near
N'amiquipa.
The belief that the American troops
are about to leave Mexico is wide
spread among the BneaiMcxsSma 1

Supplementing reports that the po
litical situation in Mexico was of more
importance in comparison with the
economic conditions and the ravages
of the typhus epidemic which has been
sweeping through the central states,
an American mining official received
messages to-day that relief was ur
gently needed if thousands of the
peons in Durango, Coahuila, Aguas
calientes, San Luis Potosi and Zacate
cas were not to perish.
These messages stated that there
were between 4,000 and 5,000 cases
of typhus in the city of Aguascalientes
and a similar proportion in almost
every city of importance in Central
Mefflico, including Queretaro. The man
who received these messages is the
head of a concern with very large in
terests in Mexico and which in normal
times employs several thousand MeN
icsn workmen. He said that as far as
the lack of food was concerned, he had
tried to do something toward relieving
the distress of his former employes
by sending corn and beans to points
where the destitution was worse.
"I found," he said, "that my efforts
were more provocative of ill than
good. If I sent a carload of corn to
help out a hundred of my former em
ployes, it would be besieged by a mob
of thousands and would prove merely
the cause of a riot in which nobody
would get much of anything."
The Carranza officials are making
strenuous efforts to send food Into the
stricken districts and to check the
ravages of typhus, but the disturbed
conditions in the country are proving
a serious handicap.
