WMT COMMISSION
FOB JLLJffIONS
LONDON, Nov. 3.—Representatives
of thirteen of the trans-Atlantic steam
ship lines, in a meeting just held in
London, listened with great attention
to arguments in favor of the proposed
International Commerce Commission
by David Lubin, of New York and Cal
ifornia, who succeeded in getting
through Congress resolutions endors
ing the idea, which has for its object
the steadying of prices of staples
through the fixing of freight rates on
ocean bulk traffic.
Mr. Lubin has succeeded in interest
ing the big shipping men here in his
plan, among them being Walter Runc
iman, president of the Board of Trade,
who is a member of a wealthy shipping
family. The meeting w’as called by
Sir Norman Hill. a great Liverpool
shipping magnate. Among the lines!
represented were the American, Allen,
Atlantic Transport, Associated Lines,
Canadian Pacific, Cunard, Dominion,
Furness Withy, Harrison, Leyland,
White Star and W’ilson.
Mr. Lubin’s address was followed by
questions from practically all attend
ing that revealed general interest in
the plan. To questioners who feared I
the result of such a strict control of
the lines as to compel them to conform
to special rates, Mr. Lubin pointed to
the benefits sustained by the railroads
in the United States from the Inter
state Commerce Commission’s rules. |
“Before the Interstate Commerce
Commission came into being the price
cf the leading American railway stocks
on your market here were as uncertain
as those of common wildcat schemes
offered to the public,” he said. “But
the stabilizing effect of the Interstate
Commerce Commission's control has.
as you know of your own personal
knowledge, converted them into the
highest gilt-edged securities.”

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
GERMAN OFFICIAL IS
NEW TURKISH ENVOI
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Nov. 3.
Doctor Richard von Kuhlmann, who
since the outbreak of war was attach
ed for a short time to the German Em
bassy in Washington and has since
then represented his country as Min
ister at the Hague, is leaving shortly
to take up his new appointment as
ambassador in Constantinople during
the absence of Count Wolff Metternich
“on urgent private business.”
Dr. von Kuhlman, who is in his 44th
year, is said to enjoy high favor with
the emperor, and his promotion to this
important post testifies equally to sat
isfaction with his record in the Neth
erlands—where he is credited with con
siderable influence on the economic
policy followed —and to the high es-'
teem in w’hich his abilities are held in
Berlin.
Curiously he was born in the Turkish
capital, his father having been general
director of the Anatolian railways, and
ho has an intimate knowledge of East
ern affairs. The “absence” of Count
Wolff Matternich is likely to be per
manent; the Count has now reached
his 63rd year and served for 34 years
in the German diplomatic corps.
Doctor von Kuhlmann’s successor at
the Dutch Court is Doctor Friedrich
Kosen, who has represented Germany
successively in Abyssinia, at the court
of King Menelik, Tangiers, Teheran, 1
Bucharest, and lastly, Lisbon. He it
was who, with the ex-French Governor
General of Algiers, M. Revoil, helped
to lay the foundation for the Algeciras
Conference.

by a large party of officials and civil- 1
i ianfi.
At Seoul, Isaburo Yamagata, director
lof general administration of Korea, i
i representing Marshal Count Aarauchi ‘
who was in Tokio, gave a luncheon in
honor of Mr. and Mrs. Guthrie. In the
afternoon a reception for American

CREMATION MAY BE
FORCED BY THE WAR
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 3.—That cre
mation may be generally advocated by
undertakers as a means of off-setting
the advance in the cost of funerals is
believed by local members of the em
balming profession.
Not only is the cost of living con
stantly on the rise, with the end not
yet in sight, but the cost of dying and
being buried has likewise advanced
on account of the war. At least, that
is the explanation which the under
takers give.
Increased eost of chemicals lias i>
creased the cost of handles, ornaments
and breast plates used on coffins, and
likewise increased the cost of the trim
mings used.
Where bodies are cremated, as the
undertakers point out, the cost of cof
fins is eliminated, and likewise the
cost of cemetery lots.
GERMAN EXPORT RESTRICTION
AFFECTS DUTCH SHIPBUILDERS
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Nov. 3.
Dutch shipbuilders and the entire met
al industry have been much disquieted
by the recent restriction of German ex
ports of iron and steel to this country.
Shipbuilders are already experiencing
a shortage in profile steel and other
essential raw materials, and unless an
improvement soon comes they may, de
spite their overloaded order books,
have to discharge a part of their work
men. Apart from the big demands
made on German industry by the man
ufacturer of munitions of war, the lat
est measure is ascribed In well-inform
ed quarters here to a desire to hamper
shipbuilding in Holland now that a
part of the Dutch cargo space has been
acquired by the Allies. In view of the
difficulties described, and the antici
pated scarcity of iron and steel mater
ials, the Industrial Commission has
approached the Minister of Industry
and Commerce with a view’ to the erec
tion of a State distribution bureau in
this country, and hope is cherished that
the thereatened dangers w’ill be ward
ed off.
SAGE TEA KEEPS
YOUR HAIR DARK
Its Grandmother’s Recipe to Bring
Back Color, Youthfulness and
Lustre—Everybody is Using
It Again.
Gray hair, however handsome, de
notes advancing age. We all know the
advantages of a youthful appearance.
Your hair is your charm. It makes or
mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray and looks streaked, just a few
applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur
enhances its appearance a hundred
fold.
Don’t stay gray! Look young!
Either prepare the recipe at home or ■
get from any drug store a 50-cent bot
tle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur
Compound,” which is merely the
old-time recipe improved by the ad
dition of other ingredients. Thous
ands of folks recommend this ready
to-use preparation, because it dark
ens the hair beautifully, besides no
cne can possibly tell, as it darkens so
naturally and evenly. You moisten a’
sponge or soft brush with it, drawing'
this through the hair, taking one
small strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, its natural
color is restored and it becomes thick, |
glossy and lustrous, and you appear
years younger.
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite. It'
is not intended for the cure, mitiga
tion or prevention of disease.
