GERMAN PRESS FREELY CRTTICISES ASSURANCES
 TO UNITED STATES

AMSTERDAM, May 9.-In recent copies of the Tages Zietung and the koelnische Volks Zietung, disapproval is expressed very strongly in the re- cent action of Germany ill assuring the United States that no submarines have been sent to America. The state ments follow:
 Tt would seem that Germany is again building hopes on the United States Two well known American newspapers are said to have free ac- cess to the foreign office in Wilhelm strasse. Which enemy power is to be approached neXt?"
 We can understand why, for the present, we refrain from attempts to blockade American ports. Our sub marines would be too far from home and we have better use for them else where. But surely we have the right to open hostilities, and we do not see any reason why we should not. Any how, the announcement was not a dip lomatic masterpiece"

 100000 IN TWO DAYS
French Writer Explains "Why We At- tacked"-Frustrated German
 Plan, He Says.

PARIS. May 2,-Under the caption Matin points out that before the pres- ent forward movement began the Ger man plan undoubtedly was to escape from the grasp of the allies He con- tinues:
 "To frustrate this plan the French and British widened the front of their attack so as to overlap the front on which the Germans were retreating The result was that the enemy found both his wings involved. He decided to fight on the first line and the French nlan was altered to suit.
 "The result of the first and second days fighting was that the Germans lost fully 100000 men, and what was more important were obliged to engage s out ftheir 43 reserve divisions. The dearly bought but valuable results of the Aisne and Champagne operat ions are thus:
 First, the enemy was prevented from carrying out his own plan, thus disposing of the famous Hindenburg scheme which was to be followed on 1 the conclusion of the retreat from No yon; second the enemy was obliged to order his troops to hold out on the 1 first line. but the whole line has been captured, tactful success to which

SPAIN ON THE VERGE 10 TAKE PLUNGE; SAYS
 MUST FIGHT FOR LIFE
Note Gives Germany fair Warm ing That Patience Has Been
 About Exhausted.

The text of Spain's note to Germany as given in Berlin dispatch, conveys grave warning that the end of pat. fence is about in sight.
 The note complains of the series of restrictions Germany has imposed on Spanish shipping and of the sinking of Spanish ships without warning.It de. clares that these methods render the economic existence of Spain almost inn possible. The note continues:
 All these prove that German inten- tions neither aim at acknowledging our rights nor take into account, as they should, the requests of a country whose friendship until today was un. abated and whose neutrality was pre-. served without wavering.
 "lf the imperial government persists ill declaring that it adheres to it's de- termination in order to defend its life, 1t must not be astonished if Spain for the same reason must emphasize her right to defend her own life. Despite negative replies to it's previous note, the Spanish government still trusts that the German government will be guided by regard for the lives of our seamen and the safety of our ships.
 The Spanish government also hopes that the imperial government, fully ap preciating the difficult economic situ. alton in Spain will enter into dis cussion regarding measures which may be taken for the mitigation of the diff culties which have arisen in Spain

HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY her HAIR

There is real common sense in Just
noticing whether the hair is we'll kept
to Judge of a woman's neatness, or
good taste. If you are one of the few
who try to make the most of your hair,
remember that it is not advisable to
wash the hair with any cleanser made
for all purposes, but always use some
good preparation made expressly for
shampooing. You can enjoy the very
best by getting some canthrox from
your druggist, dissolve teaspoonful in
cup Of hot water. This makes a full
cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is
easy to apply it to all the hair instead
of just the top of the head. Dandruff,
excess oil, and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear. Your hair will be
so fluffy that it will look much heavier
than it is. Its luster and softness will
delight you, while the stimulated
scalp gains the health which assures
hair growth.-Adv.
