sing has replied to Germany that the
American governments request for
the withdrawal of Captain Boy-ed and
Captain Won Papen, the naval and
military attaches, respectively, of the
Germany embassy here. was entirely
because Of their military and naval
activities.
Secretary Lansing's reply to the
German governments inquiry, which
indicated the Berlin foreign Office in
tended to contest the withdrawal Of
the attaches under certain conditions,
was delivered in long communica-
ton which the German embassy i'm
mediately forwarded to Berlin. At
the embassy all comment on it was
refused
President Wilson has fully APPROX
ed Secretary Lansing's decision and
it was said authoritatively today it
would be adhered to no matter what
Germany does.
Overnight adyices from Berlin indi-
Gated that the German government
would withdraw the officers as re-
quested, although it might press for
a bill of particulars. The position
of the state department is that ii
will not discuss the facts in the case.

investigating reports that German
agents were back OF alleged plans
for a counter revolution in Mexico. to
be headed by General Huerta Attor-
ney General Gregory said today, how
ever, that no new information on the
subject had been called to his atten-
ton recently.
One reason why the American gov
eminent will not furnish Germany
with specific reasons for the request
for the recall of Captain Boy-ed and
Captain Won Papen is it's determine

London, Dec. z, (11:51 a. m)-The
campaign against the main Serbian
armies having been closed, it is expect
ed General Won Gallwitz with his Ger
man forces will join the Bulgarians in
Macedonia in an effort to crush the
French and British armies before they
become much stronger.
Information from Berlin indicates
that the German forces engaged in the
earlier movements in the Balkans have
now been detached for the purpose Of
sharing In the attack on the Franco
British forces along the southern
Macedonian front Dispatches from
Athens partially corroborate this
theory, as II is reported two German
divisions are cooperating with the
Bulgarians near Strumitza.
There is little to report from the
other fronts except the usual minor
operations. The French. particularly,
are carrying on an energetic lombard

son in his annual address TO congress
today laid down the administration
plans for national defense and told his
hearers it was necessary for the new
and broad doctrine of Pan-America.
With sharp words he arraigned
American citizens who by their sym
pathy for the foreign belligerents had
endangered the neutrality of the United
States.
America never witnessed anything
ike this before" declared the presi-
dent with deep feeling.
Holds Attention.
The presidents outline of the plans
for national defense and the need for
them was received in silence by the
senators and representatives. but with
rapt attention. His declaration of a
new Pan-American doctrine was re-
ceiVed with the deepest interest.
From the first we have made COM
mon cause" he said. with all parti-
sans of liberty on this side of the sea
and have deemed it as important that
our neighbors should be free from all
outside domination as that we our
selves should be; have set America
aside as a whole for the uses of indie
pendent nations and political freedom"
This reference was greeted with pro-
longed applause and was received with
great interest by the Latin-American
diplomats who were present.
Broad Range OF Subjects.
Outside OF the main points of ma
tiona1 defense and his reference to
Pan-Americanism the president cover
ed a broad range Of subjects--the
broadcast he ever has included in an
address to congress. They included
the building of a merchant marine,
the raising of revenue for the defense
projects. rural credit law. ultimate
independence for the Philippines. con-
servation bills and a variety OF meas
ures left over from the last congress.
Applauded on Marine Idea.
When the president urged merchant
marine legislation he was loudly APP
plauded and was forced to stop when
he said 1T is high time we resumed
our commercial independence on the
high seas" Republicans clapped their
hands vigorously when he said that
the task Of building up an adequate
merchant marine for American private
capital must ultimately undertake and
achieve, as it has undertaken and
achieved every other like task amongst
US in the past, with admirable enter
prise. intelligence and vigor."

HELP NATURE HOLD
YOUR HAIR CHARMS

Fluffiness, even color, brilliance and
softness are the attributes of healthy
hair. Nature requires only sensible
cleanliness. especially freedom from
dandruff, in exchange for hair beauty.
You help Nature most when you assist
her by the best method, to safely make
and keep a perfectly clean scalp. In
washing the hair 1t is not advisable
to use a makeshift, but always use
preparation made for shampooing only.
You can enjoy the best that is known
for about three cents a shampoo by
getting package Of canthrox from
your druggist; dissolve teaspoonful
in a cup of hot water and your sham
poo is ready. After its use the hair
dries rapidly with uniform color.
Dandruff excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear. Your
hair will be so fluffy that it will look
much heavier than 1t is. Its lustre
and .softness will also delight you.
while the stimulated scalp gains the
health which insures hair growth.

THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girls! Got It! Your hair gets soft,
fluffy and Iuxuriant at once.

If you care for heavy hair. that glist-
ents with beauty and is radiant with
life: has an incompatible softness and
is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine
Just ono application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
dfately dissolves every particle of
dandruff. This destructive scurf robs
the hair of its lustre, its strength and
its very life, and If not overcome it
produces q feverishness and itching of
the scalp; the hair roots famish,
loosen and die; then the hair falls out
fast
II your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry. scraggy or too oily.
get Is cent bottle of Knowlton's Dan
derine at any drug store or toilet
counter: apply a little as directed and
ten minutes after you will say this was
the best investment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless OF
everything else advertised. that il you
desire soft, lustrous. beautiful hair and
lots OF tho dandruff-no itching
scalp and no more falling hair-you
must use Knowlton's Danderine. II
eventually-why not now?-Adv.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1915-01-21
COCOANUT OIL FINE
FOR WASHING HAIR

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you
use the better.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle. and Is very harmful. Just
plain nculsified cocoanut oil (Which
Is pure and entirely greaseless), is
much better than soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abun-
dance of rich. creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
ougly. The lather rinses out cas-
dust. dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. It Is
very cheap, and few ounces is
enough to last the whole family
for months.-Adv.
