WILCOX SEES GREAT
FUTURE FOR BISMARCK
Wagon Bridge Over Missouri Would
Mean the Welding of Two Cities
of Bismarck and Mandan.

That Bismarck is destined to be-
come one of the leading cities of the
west and that the building boom go
ing on now is just one of the many
criteria, is the opinion of R. S. Will
cox, editor of The Public Opinion, a
weekly newspaper published a: Bis
marck and a strong organ for the
Nonpartisan league, who was a visitor
in Fargo Saturday.
Mr. Wilcox looks forward to the
day when wagon bridge will span
the Missouri river uniting the two
cities and which will subsequently
result in an electric line between
Bismarck and Mandan and the state
institutions located in and within
a close distance to Bismarck such as
the Indian school, reform school and
the state penitentiary.
Editor Wilcox stopped off in Far

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad for Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at. any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to han4
die. Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and danl
druff.

PERCY GRANGER
NOW A SOLDIER
Oboist in Military Band
New Job for Noted Plan
ist in Australian Army

New York Evening Post: Almost
everybody knows about Percy Grain
ger, the enthusiastic pianist with the
expressive face and rumpled hair,
who came out of Australia when he
was 10 years old after having given
his first concert in Melbourne who
studied in Germany for six years,
lived in London fourteen years, and
came here two years ago, to shock,
amuse, charm. and delight the people
who go to concerts.
Percy Granger has enlisted. The
most original of pianists Is exclus-
lively pianist no longer. He is oboist
now as well-oboist in the Fort
Hamilton band of the coast artil-
lery, stationed at Fort Totten, New
York. For SO great a pianist to be-
come bandsman, going from $1,000 a
concert to $50 month as third-clas
musician, would be either a ludi-
crous of heroic thing, if done by any
one else. But since it is Percy Grain
ger, it is neither ludicrous nor her
oic-but simply the natural and in
evitable and joyously delightful
thing to do.
And, by the way, Percy Granger
is not only wearing khaki. he has cut
off his hair-that wonderful shock of
rumpled hair-and has merely tuft
of it left, just enough to brush.
Mr.. Granger has always had the
folk song for his unit of interest and
composition. What more natural
than that he should like to study at
first hand the great folk music of
America today, the music made by
military bands in time, of war? If
any one doubts just how he feels, let
them talk to the man and he will ex-
plain it all quite simply and gladly.
Yes, 1 am in the band" he said.
Il am very happy here. ] have very
much wished to give any musical gift
which 1 have to this country. Also
wanted to enlist under Resta, the
band leader here, who is a particu-
larly brilliant musician. 1t is wonder
fully interesting here from every
point of view," he went on with ex-
citement in his voice. 1T is especial
ly interesting musically. One gets to
know the instruments. all about each
one, and how they work together. I
myself" and here a little pardonable
pride crept in, play the 0boe."
Mr.. Granger was born in Austria
liza, but is now in the process Of be-
coming an American citizen, having
taken out hfs first papers.

EXPORTERS TO GERMANY
WILL NOT Be POPULAR
Will Be Refused Supplies From
United States by Exports
Council. ..
(By Associated Press.l


Washington, July 16.-Firms in
neutral countries sending supplies to
Germany regularly probably will not
be looked on with favor by the ex-
ports council for the receipts of sup
plies from the United States, it was
said yesterday at the state depart
ment. Applications for licenses for
shipments to such firms, probably
will not be granted, in line with the
policy not to allow American goods,
to reach Germany.
This policy will be decidedly diff
ferent, it was said, from the British
blacklist policy, as it will interfere
only with regular German agents in
countries Immediately contiguous to
Germany, which are in position to
do immediate harm. and will not af-
feet the same general indiscriminate
injury. The names will not be made
public and as a result the firms will
not be submitted to public injury.
Similarly, firms in the United
States dealing with German will
find difflculty in getting export hc-
enses. 1t is not expected, however,
that there will be many of these as

BILE British and American blockade

is assumed that the three latter
countries expect not to go contrary

purpose was armed with a gun forfeits
by this circumstance alone the character
of a peaceful vessel and that in consider
alton of these circumstances the Austro-
Hungarian naval forces had received or
ders to treat such vessels as warships
In conformity with this declaration ships
wherein were American citizens were
sunk in the Mediterranean, presumably
by Austro-Hungarian submarines. Some
of these ships, for example, the English
steamer Welsh Prince, were torpedoed
without warning by submarine under
the Austro-H Hungarian flag The Ameri-
can ambassador at Vienna requested In
formation regarding these cases but thus

At the same time as the German dec

certain POI tions of the sea off the coast
of Entente countries as exposed to dan

material respects the same assurance
contained in the note of the German

In conformity with the general pr1n-
cipleS of international law concerning
the holding up. search and destruction
of merchant ships, such ships Will not
be sun either inside or outside that
portion of the sea which has been de-
clared a naval war zone without pre-
vious warning and without taking such
means as are available for saving hui

this assurance is more or less altered

Since the United States government
is in doubt regarding the meaning to

pecially the last. it desires to be final
" and clearly informed of the stand
