assumed in some quarters that this
statement may refer to Germany's
possible intention to attempt to back
up her original claim that the Lusi-
tania was an armed vessel and that
she carried contraband of war mater
ials.
There is a we'll developed idea in
certain high quarters here that Ger
many is working her way around to
peace overtures not only with the
United States but her own enemies,
who actually are engaged in conflict.
although no confirmation of these re-
ports has been obtained. If Germany
desires peace as reported, it is in
conceivable to those in authority that
she should reply to the American note
in such a way as to ALLEVIATE this ma
ton.
The favorable comment on the Sec
ond Wilson note by the representative
newspapers of Germany and the lack
of jingoistic utterances in the press of
the Kaiser's empire tend to strengthen
the hope here that the German reply
is to be satisfactory.

DON'T USE SOAP
ON YOUR HAIR

When you wash your hair, don't
use soap. Most soaps and prepar-
ed shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, as
it dries the scalp and makes the
hair brittle
The best thing to use is just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for this
is pure and entirely greaseless.
It's very cheap, and beats soaps
or anything else all to pieces. You
can get this at any drug store, and
a few ounces will last the whole
family or months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. It
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly,
and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy,
wavy. and easy to handle. Besides,
1t loosens and takes out every
particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.

heavy shells were hurled on its pre-.
vious position. This proves how eas.
lily the gun can be moved. The rapid.
ity Of the fire is likewise amazing
two minutes a shot
THE bed for the howitzer is two
metres In depth. A huge ball bearing
rests on it, which supports the re.
volving gun carriage. The powerful
gun in firing position stands above the
carriage and reaches the crown of the
fir trees.
ITO fire the gun one operates a
common cord. One can even pull di.
rectly by hand the trigger of the gun
itself il one keeps the mouth open.
The muzzle flash is, however. so daz.
zling, that the gunners are strictly for.
hidden to raise their eyes upward
The detonation which follows shot
is far deeper than that of the 30.5.
centimetre mortar, and therefore, less
offensive to the ear"

AUSTRIA'S MIGHTY GUN
BREAKS CARS MACHINE

VIENNA, June 15-In an interview
with representative of the Reichfort
Baron Kurt vo Reden gives a descrip-
ton of the tremendous Austrian field
howttzers, firing a 42-centimetre shell.
In the recent Galician drive they prov
ed themselves in every way the equal
of the celebrated Krupp weapons, he
says. His account is as follows:
THE giant Skoda guns have taken
a leading part in subduing the Rus
sian position to the southeast of Tar
now. l happened to be able to be
able to witness personally these guns
in action from the first day of the at
tack until they had accomplished their
task, and were taken to other quar-
ters. Since the Russian aviators have
taken photographs of the guns the
enemy knows that it is not the Ger
man mortar which has wrought havoc
in the Russian lines.
"At first they thought the work was
performed by German artillery, and
they were strengthened in that be-
lief because had examined one unex-
ploded shell marked Wit (Which is
the sign of the Austrian steel works in
Witkowitz), and had thought it meant
Wilhelm Imperator Teutonicus.' The
attempted examination of this pro-
jectile led to its explosion, which kill
ed or wounded forty-one soldiers.
Il am authorized now to report
some particulars of our 42-centimetre
gun. The howitzer and all accessor-
les, such as bed, training gear, cranes
and ammunition, are carried on a spe-
cial train. 1t can be mounted ready
for action within two days. Special
care has been taken to conceal, the
guns presence from aviators. Once.
when it was thought an aviator had To-
Gated it's position, the gun was trans
ferred over night to another spot in a
wood. The following morning sixty

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Notwith-

able time" for Germany to frame her
reply to the United States note, the
belief continued here that an amicable
adjustment of the differences between
this government and that of the Kai.
ser will result from the present cor
respondence.
Persons close to President Wilson
say that he feels encouraged over the
general outlook and throughout Off
cialdom generally there exists an in
creasing optimism. Those who have
discussed the situation with the pres.
ident and some of his official advisers
during the past few days have left

with the impression that they regard
the chance of an amicable agreement
as better than at any time since the
Lusitania was torpedoed.
Can't Understand Berlin.
Washington is at loss to under
stand, however. the full meaning of
the Berlin reports which say that the
German governments reply will be ex-
tensive, touching so many points in
volved in the negotiations that it will
be necessary to collect evidence from
many sources.
What this government desires is a
direct answer to its demand that Ger
many afford Americans safety on the
high seas and there is just bit Of
concern. as to the so-called necessity
for the collection of evidence. 1t is

ONE VERSION.

1t is announced from Berlin that
the submarine that sank the Arabic
has not yet reported or returned. m
the absence of official knowledge, in,
view of the possible loss Of the boat,
the Germans are preparing to assert
that the captain of the submarine
feared that his vessel would be
rammed and fired torpedo at the
liner, or that the Arabic was nov
torpedoed at all. but struck a mine.
