TEDDY TO STAY IN U. S.
Colonel Denies Emphatically That He
Will Fight for Allies.

New York, Nov. 27-In choice
manner Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
has set al rest all ruomrs that he con-
templated participation in the Euro
pean war
There is absolutely no truth what
has set at rest all rumors that he con-
sidered helping the allies in any ma
terial way" he said. II have not the
slightest idea of going to Canada, nor
to England or France"
This is the first public utterance
of the colonel on a report that has
been persistent in London and gained
credence in this country.

Mayor Moorhead has received no
tice from S. Hamill & Co., that
that firm will take the RESPONSE
bility of marking Fourth street and
johnson street The signs will be
placed on the Hamill building at the
expense of the company.
This action was taken by the firm
when its members read in The Gate
City that perhaps some Of the signs
could not be erected because Of the
expense attached to the purchase and
installation OF these markers.
The commissioners appreciate great
ly the act OF the company, and If any
OF the other business houses, or resi-
dence owners wish to follow in the
footsteps Of the Hamill company, the
mayor said their cooperation would
gladly be accepted.
It is possible that some of the resi-
G'ence owners will take up the propo-
sition of marking their corners. If this
is done, the cost Of placing the sign
markers in the city will be greatly
reduced.
Much favorable comment has been
heard since the announcement that
the streets will be marked. 1t is gem
orally felt that city without it's
streets being marked is not just
exactly the up to date one, and the
activity Of the Civic league will have
a lasting memorial in these signs.

USING SOAP
SPOILS TIE HAIR

Soap should be used very sparing-
ly, if at all, if you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the
hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsihed cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), is
cheaper and better than soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. 1t makes an abund-
ance of rich. creamy lather, which
rinses out easily, removing every par
tic1e of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves the scalp
soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get rnulsifed cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, and few ounces
will supply every member of the fam
ily for months.

SCOFF AT HOLLWEG
BY UNITED PRESS.

LONDON, Dec. lO.-Angry COM
ments in the London press today
on the German chancellor's speech
were mingled with sarcastic shots
and declarations that "the chancellor
merely repeated the old blum and
brag"
''He had the temerity to warn us
that the longer the war continues
the harder will be the German terms
of peace" said the Daily Express.
"and this in the face of common
knowledge that Germany Is neces-
sarily growing weaker every day and
less able to carry out the grandiose
plans OF her rulers.
"If there was longsighted
statesman In Germany he would con-
trive to arrive at a settlement that
would leave his country powerful
and menacing. Fortunately for the
world the leader OF the German peo-
pie is determined to rush on to IT.
retrievable disaster. The allies will
read the chancellors speech with
relief and satisfaction"
The Chronicle answered the Ger
man Socialist, DR.. Scheidemann. who
declared Europe would be ruined II
the war continued. and that the only
victor would be the United States.
That. of course. Is a reflection
which Germany might have well
taken to heart before plunging Eu-
rore into the war" said the Chron-
icle. But II is not an argument
for stopping the war at the moment
when its ending would be most ad-
vantageous to those who provoked
il.
"The allies do not regard Germany
as invincible and will not do so
any the more because Bethmann-
Hollweg asserts 1t. As for his at.
tempts to incite our allies against
ourselves, they are not the first OF
their kind and We know how our
allies have hitherto regarded them"
