OFFICIAL STORY OF
TURKISH CAMPAIGN
AGAINST EGYPTIANS

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Berlin, April 1O.-The Frankfurter lei
lungs correspondent in Jerusalem
sends long account of the Turkish
campaign against Egypt, as obtained
from an interview with General Won
Kressenstein. the German officer in COM
mand. The account says in part:
''The object of the expedition was a
forceful reconnaissance of the state of af-
fairs in the Canal district. That was all
that was intended. although it was
agreed that If the opportunity presented
itself to injure the canal. it would not
be neglected. The net result has been
to show that an expedition across the
desert can be carried out successfully.
1.-THE Turkish plans were gone through
without flaw. Neither man nor beast
suffered hunger or thirst; the sick list
was one in thousand, although no tents
were employed.
"A sand storm enabled the expedition
to approach the canal unobserved, and
the forces were preparing to lay their
pontoons across the canal before they
were attacked by infantry scouts. After
remaining for 80 hours in contact with
the enemy the expedition voluntarily re-
linquished its positions and retired to the
desert in perfect order. Two machine
guns. rendered useless by the sand, were
left behind in the enemy's hands.
'The expedition thought it better not
to renew their attack. as the number Of
the enemy's ships had greatly increased.
On the return across the desert nothing
was seen of the enemy except an aero
plane which lowered over the moving
troops during the first two days march.
The return was made slowly in order to
avoid fatiguing the troops.
1.-THE expedition suffered only slight
loss, and the fire of the British warships
did it no material damage. The British,
however. lost a cruiser in the Canal
owing to a fortunate shot from the
Turkish heavy battery. Another cruiser
was put out Of the firing line and there
was severe explosion on q third. What
further damage was done could not be

DON'T WASH YOUR
HAIR WITH SOAP

When you wash your hair,
don't use soap. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos con-
tain too much alkali, which is
very injurious. as It dries the
scalp and makes the hair brit
tie.
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 few
ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub It In, about
a teaspoonful is all that is re-
