Philadelphia, May 3.—"The full
strength of America to the last man,"
is the only possible measure of our
contribution to the war. Secretary of
the Navy Josephus Daniels declared
while here yesterday.
He denounced efforts to set a defi
npte limit in numbers on the men
who shall bo drafted and sent
abroad, saying that the only limit
that should be recognized is the
number of men necessary to win the
war.
He turned his visit into a Liberty

ers to buy.
To the Navy he paid this tribute.
"There is no rank in sacrifice. I
should say that there are no longer
any common sailors In our Navy.
They are all uncommon heroes, not
one has failed."
The Secretary told how he had
named a destroyer after a gunner's
mate of the second class, saying:
"It has long been the custom ;o
name ships or destroyers after admi
rals, but I have established a prece
dent. One of the latest destroyers
launched I have named the Ingram,
after Oswald Ingram a gunner's
mate of the second class, who died
that if this happened the destroyer
bear the name of a man who is not
a liero.
Not so very long ago a submarine
launched a torpedo against a -de
stroyer. Ingram, with his eye on
the U-boat, saw the silvery wake
and estimated that the deadly mis
sle would strike the how where the
high explosives were kept. He knew
.that if this happened the detsroyer
would be blown to bits. He dashed
across the deck and before the tor
pedo had struck he had thranvn
overboard the high explosives, but
in so doing he lost his own life.
Therefore, I have named a destroy
er after Oswald Ingram, gunner's
mate, second class, who died a hero."

FOURTH WOMAN
ENTERS MYSTERY
OF ALIEN SLAYER
Two Deaths Attributed to
Hclmuth Schmidt; Police
Looking For Others
By Associated Press
Detroit, Mich., May 3.—Still an
other woman has entered the mys
tery surrounding the matrimonial
affairs of Helmuth Schmidt, self
slayer, beneath whoso former home
here the police yesterday excavated
and discovered the remains of Irma
Pallatlnus, his housekeeper, who ap
parently had been strangled. She Is
"Mrs. Helmuth Schmidt," of Chica
go, who asked the authorities for a
picture of the man, who she believes
is the same to whom she was mar
ried in 1916 and who, she alleges,
robbed her of $2,000 and deserted
her.
With appearance in the case of the
Chicago woman there are four
women, not Including the 17-year
old daughter, who may claim the
estate of Schmidt, said to be more
than $15,000. One of these, the
widow, Mrs. Tletz-Schmldt, was held
by the police at the time of her
husband's arrest and later released.
A third is Mrs. Adele Ulrlch Braun,
who came from New York to claim
part of the estate, alleging that
Schmidt to whom she was married in
Lakewood, N. J., where Schmidt was
known as Braun, robbed her of $3,-
500 and deserted her. The other is
Mrs. John Switt, of New York.
With the identification of the
body of the Pallatinus woman late
yesterday the police now attribute
two deaths to Schmidt, Augusta
Steinbach, whose body he confessed
to having dismembered and burned,
having swallowed poison when he re
fused to marry her. Renewed serach
is being made for Margaret Darsch
and Mrs. Anita Schmidt, two others
said to have married the man In
New Jersey and who suddenly dis
appeared.
Community Singing in
Steele School Appealed
Last night was memorable in the
upper end of the city for a remark
able community singing gathering in
the Steele school building, where the
huge auditorium was filled to the
limit with scholars from this school,
Camp Curtin and a number of
churches in the neighborhood. It
was the first experiment in this new
venture and no such rousing song
fest has been heard. The affair was
under direction of Miss Mildred
Conkling, who had the choruses
from the two schools sing alternate
ly and then tried, with immense
success, the singing of "My Country
'Tis of Thee" by the audience and
"The American Message," by the
school children. Camp Curtin or
chestra, consisting of ten young
'sters, one girl and nine boys, none
of them over fourteen, made one of
the hits of the evening. The piano
solo by Lillian Forysthe was also
greatly enjoyed. Chairman Hocker
had a number of guests on the plat
form, among them the Rev. Messrs.
Snyder and Dougherty, and Prof.
Brehm. Mrs. E. J. Decevee had a
most interesting message for the
young folks, telling them how com
munity singing was useful in Bible
days; through great periods of war
and how significant it is now. The
evening was so fruitful of pleasure
that it was voted to have another In
a couple weeks and to conduct song
fests right along through the sum
mer in the city playgrounds.
FRENCH CAPTURE
HILL AND WOOD
[Continued from First Page.]
as well there has been a further im
provement of the entente position,
the French gaining ground in local
fighting there last night.
Ilun Artillery in Action
The German artillery seems to
have turned its attention chiefly to
the southern side of the Flanders
salient and last night was bombard>-
ing the region along the fifteen-mile
line betwen Givenchy and Nieppe
wood. In several thrusts at this
front previously the enemy has been
unable to make any substantial
headway with the British lines sup
ported as they are by the barrier of
Laßassee Canal and backed up by
the commanding positions behind
Bethune.
Flanders and Picardy, . and the
Arras salient between, continue quiot
and the Germans have given no sign
of where the next blow will be or
when it will come. The present It'll
in the fighting now exceeded three
days and there has been less minor
activity than during the previous
break in heavy fighting in Flanders.
The German offensive is not yet
ended in the view of military au
thorities and the enemy is expected
to make further attempts to reach
the canal. The supreme Interallied
war council has completed a two
days' session with a meeting at Ab
beville, northwest of Amiens. All
military questions were discussed
and decided on and the results ob
tained are reported to have been
most satisfactory. Premier Clenjsn
ceau, who presided, said that Gen
eral Foch, who as a result of the
conference, it is reported, is com
mander-in-chief of the allied forces
in the west, is very optimistic.
Artillery Continues Fire
In Flanders there has been no ac
tivity except by the artillr, while
on the British portion of the Plcardy
battle front a German raid near Tle
buterne. north of Albert, has been
repulsed. South of the Somme the
enemy artillery is bombarding: vio
lently the Villers-Bretonneux re
gion.
French troops have driven oack
the Germans in local attacks in Han
gard wood and southwest of Mailly-
Raineval, south of Hangard, they
have recaptured Baune wood. Ber
lin reports the situation'as unchang
ed and records only artillery duels
on the various fronts. ,
Other Fronts Quiet
Klsewhere on the western front In
Northern Italy and In Macedonia
there has been little activity, in
Italy the rains have ceased and the
weather has improved, but the fight
ing operations still are confined to
patrol engagements. In Palestine the
British have reoccupied Es Salt, east
of the Jordan and northeast ~f Jeri
cho. More than 300 prisoners were
taken and the advance continues.
Germany and Austria Hungary
apparently are meeting with difficul
ties in oppressing the peoples of the
occupied Russian territories and as
a result there is grave uneasiness in
Germany. The Ukranian govern
ment has been overthrown by the
Germans and it is reported that a
new government, presumably favor
able to the central empires, has
taken the reins of power. Berlin
reports the occupation of Sebasto
pol, the great Russian fortress and
naval base in the Crimea, but gives
no details.

BIG SPIRIT OF
ALLIED ARMIES
WILL BEAT HUN
New York Banker Shouts the
Truth That Is to Bring
Kaiser to Knees
"It Is the spirit of fraternity that
is going to make the allied armies
win this war," declared Franklin D.
Kirkbride, a New York banker, ad
dressing a luncheon held In the
Central Y. M. C. A. building this
noon. The conference was held for
the purpose of stimulating recruit
ing of Y. M. C. A. secretaries for
overseas service. Mr. Kirkbride was
a member of the Overseas commis
sion appointed by the National War
Work Council to Inspect the service
of the Y. M. C. A. throughout
France. He described vividly the
work of the Y M. C. A. secretary
and told of his own trip to the front.
Mr. Kirkbride told a story of a poilu
who came into the compartment oc
cupied by himself and associates in
a French town; how a French of
ficer came in and treated the poilu
as his equal, offering him cigarets
and lighting a match for him.
"It is that democratic spirit that
will bring Germany to her knees,"
the speaker shouted.
Big Man Wanted
"We want men of character, big,
healthy, happy men. Think of those
men In Harrisburg you can't spare
and then get them to go to France.
Those big men are the ones who will
do effective work.
"The American soldier is on the
Job right to the death," he said, tell
'ing of the heroism of the men over
there. "The Y. M. C. A, is not a
minister's religious organization; it
is a big business organization; It
gives the hoys the things tha quar
termaster can't supply. The Y. M.
C. A. pushes everything to the front
that is right; and General Pershing
pushes everything wrong to the
rear of the army." The speaker
told of the work accomplished—of
the thousands of things done every
day by the Y. M. C. A. secretary; of
an order for two million sheets of
letter paper and a million envelopes
for one week, and of the cable next
week saying, "Double that station
ery order." "Nothing matters now
but one thing and that Is to win this
war," he affirmed. "The one thing
America has got to do is to help
win this war."

teac h the Americans a lesson," was one purpose of the German attack northwest of Toul on
April 20th, so the German prisoners say, but the only lesson connected with the engagement as far as
observant editors can see, is that the Yankees can meet about three times their number of German
shock troops and send them back to their trenches pretty heavily depleted. The German blow was
delivered against the junction of the French and American lines by special Saxon "storm troops"—
the first-class units, according to a French authority, east of the Picardy battlefield. Outnum
bered enormously, their lines swept by a hurricane of poison-gas and high-explosive shells, Pershing's
men exacted a price for every inch of ground they yielded and ultimately recaptured by the fiercest
kind of hand-to-hand fighting, all they had lost.

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR m HAIR
You can Bring Back Color and
Lustre with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.
When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally,
so evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at homo is mussy and
troublesome. At little cost you can
buy at any drug store the ready-to
use preparation, improved by the
addition of other ingredients, called
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound." You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through you hair, taking one small
strand at a time. By morning all
gray hair disappears, and, after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as
we all desire a youthful and attrac
tive appearance, get busy at once
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound and look years younger.
This ready-to-use preparation is a
delightful toilet requisite and not a
medicine. It is not Intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease.
