By ROBERT WELLES RITCHIE. (lnlTral Sarvtc Shift Correspondent.) Special Wlretora Dlapateh. ' London, April 16. "In the , new Garden of Eden which the league of rationi establishes at Geneva," says the Morning Post in a sarcastic edi torial, "the Monroe doctrine will be the tree of knowledge from -which ye all shall not eat." , , Recently a British journalist mourned the decline of cordiality between Britain and America and assigning causes. He named, among others, the continuous provocative utterances on the part of certain British journalists which, he said, "are always cabled to America to feed anti-British sentiment there." Without any motive except to give point to the moral of this British journalist's protest, I am cabling ex cerpts vfrom the Morning Post's sneering editorial on the subject of the Monroe doctrine and President Wilson as "exhibit A" for thinking people. On its business page the Post carries a column dispatch from Washington concerning - the Amer ican .protest to the report that the . British government had purchased tho Cowdray oil interests in Mexico. Editorially, the journal has this to My regarding the Monroe doctrine" Not "Understanding," "Assertion." . "The iMonroe doctrine is not an 'understanding' but an 'assertion. Envious peoole might call it Amer ican chauvinism or American im perialism, since it excludes all na tions not already established in those great, rich and undeveloped legions awaiting enterprise and civ ilization.

"Posterity will place Wilson with Metternich and Castlereagh, as one working for confusion in other coun tries and greatness in his own. If we were to define hypocrjsy as non observance of principles which the nonobserver professes we would rush to the conclusion which the Wilson admirers would resent "We confine ourselves to saying that Wilson is a great diplomat who uses old weapons in a new way. He pursues national aims under the cloak of internationalism and he is a good American imperialist while professing idealism."

Federal Ownership Of Timber Lands Is Urged by Lumbermen Chicago, April" 16.

LADIES! DARKEN YOUR GRAY HAIR ; I Look years younger! Us drandmother's roc.lp of Sac Tea and Sulphur, and nobody will know. The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring tfaded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grand mother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by ask ing at any drug store forva bottle of H'Wyeth's Saee and Sulphur Compound," you will get this fam ous old preparation, improved by addition of other ingredients, which can be depended . upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-kown downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody, can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taikng one strand at a. time, By morning the gray hair disap pears, and after another applica tion of two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy.

The Petit Par isien, commenting upon the settle ment of the question relative to the left bank of the Rhine by the council of four, says: "Not the least interesting feature of the prolonged discussion was to see President Wilson apply himself passionately to the task of solving the problem and still not injuring the rights of France. He uttered a phrase one day which France ought to know. He declared with an ac cent coming from the heart: 'It would be the sorrow of my life if the great peace 'we are making should be jeopardized by any difficulty be tween France and America.'

Holland, special liquor prosecutor for Douglas county, denied yesterday that P. C. Smith, one of Gus Hyers' liquor detectives, was discharged or -that any charges of bootlegging had been filed against him. Smith was reported to have offered to- deliver a quantity of whfsky to John C. Riha, 3562 South Twenty-fifth street. "I know iiothinar of anv charges being filed against P. C. Smith, former state liquor detective, said Mr. Holland ySsterday. . "He was not discharged, but resigned. He told me about two weeks before he quit that his wife had pneumonia and he would have to go to a warm er climate. "I do not believe he was ever iq any bootlegging. He seemed to be a conscientious worker. The statement of Mr. Riha that he re ported operations of Mr. Smith to me is an error. Mr. Kiha reported nothing to me. "Once the police captain on the South, Side called me up and said he had been told that Smith was bootlegging. But this -was due, I believe, to a misunderstanding re sulting from a statement made once by Smith in my office. He said that bootleggers had, approached him with a 'proposition and he wanted to know whether he should appear to accept it and then catch them Svith the goods.' " ' To Return to Omaha.
