agreement that the six-nation group would do all in it's power to aid China in maintaining the open door for trade and would neither directly nor indirectly permit any segregation of Chinese terri tory. That was the great achievement at this conference. The money participa- ton of the United States in financing China would in any event be small, com paratively speaking. It was the associa- ton of the United States with the six nation group that made it certain that China would maintain the open door for trade and her sovereignty would be un- impaired. This it was with Secretary Knox had in mind when he desired the United States to participate in these proceedings.
 SECRETARY LANSING'S VIEW
 Secretary of State Lansing may have had better opportunity than his predeces- sor to learn what the purpose was when the United States joined the six-nation group. Possibly the amazing world events which the European war has caused, and the certainty that the United States will be called upon to give finan- cial assistance to many nations during the war and after 1t is ended, may have led the Secretary of State to take ac- ton which is likely to result in the United States again participating in giv- ing financial aid to China Assistant Secretary of State Phillips is understood to have been in consultation with the identical group of bankers who organ ized the syndicate by means of which the United States participated in the six-nation group. The impression in the financial district has been that the state department will be able, and successfully, to Influence an American syndicate of bankers as 1t was when MT. Knox was Secretary of State
 One of the largest of the banking in stitutions of the world is at this time especially interested in efforts that are undertaken and are to be undertaken for the development of the resources of China and for the enlargement of her trade with the United States. China is about to enter on cotton manufactur- ing industry upon large scale, and If this purpose be successfully carried out it should import great deal of Amer ican cotton.

NIX ON The War.
Denmark Considered Most Neu-
trail of All Nations.
Shares FOOdstuffs With Both
Germany and England.
BY CHARLES P. STEWART.

London, Jan. 26.-War rumblings
may disturb Sweden at present. but
Denmark pretty certainly is going to
keep out of the war. She wants to
keep out and both England and Ger
many want the same thing. This
much is CLEANED from conversations
with officials in Copenhagen and well
informed persons he.e today
If Denmark fights at all, it must be
with the allies. She lost Schleswig
Holstein to Germany fifty-two years
ago and has hated the Germans ever
since.
Can't Afford to Fight.
But Germany could cross the imagi-
nary line separating the two countries
and overrun Denmark within a short
time. Hence Denmark cannot afford
to fight
On the other hand, Germany is not
anxious to invade Denmark. The
Germans receive considerable quanti-
ties of supplies through Denmarks
neutral ports, despite the British
blockade. They realize that England
would blockade these ports if occupied
by Germans. Germany does not want
to increase her troubles by conquering
Denmark and make it necessary to de-
fend the long Danish shore line against
possible landings by the allies
No Danish Ships Sunk.
England gets large stores of food
stuffs from the Danes. If Denmark
entered the war and was occupied by
German troops, this source of supply
for the British would De cut off.
It is generally understood that a
tacit agreement exists by which Den
mark divides her foodstuffs between
the Germans and the English without
objections by either In proof of this
fact, it is stated here that no Danish
ship carrying food supplies to England
has ever been torpedoed. Swedish
ships have been blown up and so have
Danish ships with cargoes other than
| food.

Italian Ship Verona With Two Guns

steamship Verona, which arrived in
New York several days ago with two

The inquiry was the same as that by

reached New York with two guns
mounted aft. The Verdi was allowed
to sail on her return trip.

These vapors, inhaled with each

a poultice or a plaster, taking out the
tightness and soreness

Alkali in Soap
Bad for the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
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 mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), nd is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can uss.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with waueB and rub
it in. It makes an abundance of
rich, creamy lather which rinses out
easily, remoing every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive 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 mulsified cocoanut oil
a any pharmacy. it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for months.-Adver-

Fearing that a hastily formed mob

ed by the Stewart Coffey Hardware
company at Minco, and is favorabIy
known in that community, stated to the
sheriff this morning that he was pre-
pairing to retire when his shotgun was
accidentally discharged while heing
fixed" for the night. An instant later
groans told the results of the acciden-
tai discharge and the cry Of the crowd
to demolish the swings, from which
the crowd believed the shot had been
fired, induced Johnson to seek an Of.
ficer and confess his act in order that
no innocent party might suffer.
While making his escape he learned
that three people had been wounded
by the buckshot but the extent Of their
injuries is not known except that a
wound in the abdomen is likely to
prove serious.

ENROLMENT HAS
REACHED 324 GIRLS
Classification Complete and Thursday and
Friday Witness Regular
Days Work

Under auspices unsurpassed in the
brilliancy of achievement by any state
educational institution in the. state, the
Oklahoma College for Women conclud
ed its first week of studies with an un,
usual degree of proficiency and order
The work for the year is now on in
full swing and as early as Thursday
full days work was accomplished in
all departments. Perhaps in no other
state institution of its kind have fifty
applicants been turned away for lack
of accommodation as was the case at
the college early in the week.
The enrolment for the term reach
ed 324 girls. OF this number 1856 are
located in comfortable quarters at the
hall, about sixty are boarding in town
and between fifty and sixty remain
at their home in Chiekasha.
The organization is unusually good,
the classification is complete and all
Of the girls have been supplied with
books.
The programs and plan of action had
been carefully worked out by President
Austin in advance and everything
went smoothly from the beginning, al
though the task Of enrolment and clas-
sification was prodigious considering
the accommodations which have been
rendered insufficient by the heavy en-
rollment.
