WANTS To LIFT
VEIL SECRECRY
FROM WAR EVENTS
By Associated Press.)

LONDON, April 19.-The press cen
sorship in both France and England is
still far too rigorous for the good Of
the countries cause, in the opinion of
M. Henry Franklin Bouillion chairman
of the Committee of Foreign Affairs of
the French Chamber of Deputies, who
has been here for a series of war con
ferences with Lord Kitchener, Chan
cellor oyd-George, Sir Edward Grey
and other statesmen.
Part of the work of the committee
which sent me on my present mis-
sion" he said, is to urge that not only
in our own countries but in neutral
countries as we'll, true perspective
of the course of events should be
held out.
In England and France alike. the
main obstacle is the excessive rigor of
the censorship, and this subject | dis
cussed with some of the leading men
in England. l was glad to learn that
some concessions to the press are now
being considered.
What we all feel on the foreign
Committee is that our own commun-
iques are too bald and undressing a
recital to inspire our people with that
enthusiasm so necessary to maintain
them steadily until victory is won. The
english Eye-W Witnesses, one with the
English army and one with the French
are certainly doing fine work; but to
get at the great masses of people, |
things must be dished up and pre-
sented in all sorts of different ways By
trained writer's, each with his own
point of view and literary style.
From my Committees standpoint it
IS a supreme need that the doings Of
he French army should be brought
nome to the imagination of the Eng
ish people, and to that end a strong

THE BACKYARD GARDEN
(BY LEGARE DAVIS.)

1t is probable that the legislature i'll
the coming session will leave the mat
ter of the cotton situation severely
alone, notwithstanding the various wild
and woody measures which were advo-
Gated last fall, with cotton at six
cents.
The majority of the members of the
legislature realize that the price If
cotton is not a subject for legislation,
although interesting laws might have
been made if meeting of he legisla-
ture had been held in October. As a
matter of fact the cotton situation is
gradually being adjusted and the
price is once more approaching de-
cency.
According to statistics which have
been gathered carefully throughout the
state, it appears now that there will
be reduction of possibly % per cent
in next years crop, and not only does
this hold true in Georgia, but in the
other cotton states as we'll. The Cos
pei of crop diversifcation has been
more forcibly demonstrated to the
southern farmer by the present war
than it could have been by years of
lectures and tons of literature.

Four of the leading lawyers of the

though the details of the bill haze hJt

that it will not meet with the approval

COCOANUT OIL FINE
 FOR WASHING HAIR

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, the less soap you use the better.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali This dries the scalp makes the hair brittle. and is very harmful Just plain mulsifed cocoanut oil (which is pure and en- tirely greaseless), is much better than soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this cant possibly in- jure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two tea spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out easily and removes every particle of dust, dirt dandruf 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 mulsihed cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months

Russian Troops Escape.

Special by Unued Pres Wire.
London, Sept. 22:-The Russians
have escaped the tolls of the wilma
Salient and retired in good order,
destroying all military works and a
considerable portion of the railway,
according to the Petrograd CORE
spondent of the Post, who says:
THE strategic value of the Wilma
salient has been enormous. 1t was
held by some of Russia's S best troops
and therefore risks were taken pro-
fitably which might have been fatal
under other circumstances. The
stubborn holding of this salient null
lifted German designs upon Riga, and
the German left flank is still up in
the air.
The Times's Petrograd corre-
spondent says the Russian army has
reached a point thirty miles from
Wilma. He says they made an effeo-
tive stand on the Viliya river which.
after the loss of the railway, secured
the Russian retreat by road. But in
the face of the enemy's constant eff
forts to cut the Russian communica-
tions it is not yet safe to predict the
escape of the Russian forces, which
are fighting a series of successful
rearguard actions"
