GERMANY EXPECTED
TO ANNOUNCE A new
PEACE PROPOSITION

AMSTERDAM. July Berlin dip
iomatic circles believe the break be-
tween Argentine and Germany is i'm
minent if not already formally noted.
according to Berlin dispatches.
The Argentine minister, it is stat
ed. conferred with Foreign Minister
Zimmerman and later with Hollweg.
Holiweg will announce Germanys
adhenence to the principle Of no an
nexations and no indemnities in
speech he is expected to Acliver at
the Reichstag meeting today. accord
ing to reports here.
II rs Indicated Germany expects the
speech to afford immediate opportn-
nifty to open peace negotiations. The
chancellor. 1t is indicated. has long
supported the no annexatious and no
indemnities principle. but because oi
the opposition OF other governmental
forces has made no announcement of
his stand. The fact that all opportu-
nifty for separate peace with Russia
seems to have failed has impelled the
Germans to decide on a new peace
announcement.

GERMAN ARTILLERY
IN DESPERATE WAY
Shelling as Nothing Compared
to That of Allies-Hard to
Replace Guns.

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, July 7.-American officers
who have been studying conditions on
this front for some time past say that
they are wonderfully impressed with
the British artillery.
1t is one of the most significant
phases Of the war, as it approaches
the end of the third year. that the
Allies, including America. with a
wealth Of raw materials at their dis
posaI. can make necessary replace
ments of guns, while the Germans are
becoming more and more desperate
in that respect. The life of high
velocity guns at the rate of fire it is
now necessary to maintain is very
short, necessitating constant replace
ment and refining of barrels.
The German artillery is very strong
at times. but the shelling in which
they indulge is as nothing compared
with what must be endured from the
Allied guns.
II was with their enormous guns,
which no other nation possessed that
the Germans expected to bias, their
way To quick victory in 1914. Now
their military ambitions and their
military prowess are being dashed to
pieces against the rocks of skilled
supremacy in guns and gunners.

BOYS CAUSED CAR
 TO JUMP TRACK
Youngsters Placed Stones on Rails at
 Ocean Beach.

The Shore Line electric car due at Ocean Beach at 11.25 was derailed there Thursday morning by small stones and other obstacles that boys in that neighborhood had placed on the tracks to see the cars crush them There were several persons in the car but none were injured.
 The car was just after passing the Ocean View hotel and approaching the station had slowed down. When the car hit the obstacles it. jolted to the right, striking the roof of the trol- ley station. Many windows were smashed The roof of the trolley sta- tion was partly, torn off for quite a distance. Articles on shelves in the stores were thrown to the floor and in some places considerable damage done.
 Thursday afternoon representatives of the police department were trying to locate the boys who put the stones on the track.
 The car was in charge of Joseph None, the conductor; and was operat- ed by Motorman William Davis.

Careless Use of Soap
 Spoih the Hair

Soap should be used very caefully If you want to keep your hair looking it's best. Most soaps and prepared shampooa contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and ruins 1t.
 Tho best thing for steady use Is just ordinary mulsifed cocoanuk oil (which h pure and grease1ess). aAd Is better than the most expensive soap or any, thing else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub 1t in. 1t makes an abundance of rich, creamy lAther. which Tinses ont easily, removing every particle of dust. dirt. dandruR and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly. and 1t leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous. fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can ret mu1sifled cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and g. few ounces will supply every member Of the family for months.

customers have less fault to ind. The ever increasing value of goods has of course made .he problem of buying an easy one. One could scarcely over buy. It seems safe to buy almost everything within reason that can be value stocks carried everywhere are very heavy. The more difficult time will come when the tide. turns and values fall, but rha. will not be for many day even if the war stopped. We have of course women at the ele- vators. we have women in despatch rooms, We have women sewing bales and mailing boxes, a man working with them wherever it can be managed. We have women driving motor delivery vans: women clerks and women sales people. and 1t must be admitted that they have risen to the occasion splen- dtdly. The rank and Ale are doing really we'll, with here and there out standing cases of conquering ability.
 The best advice we can give is to to day, keeping a constant and vigilant and intelligent eye upon everything every day. Our experience. in this country has really been that we have some extent have solved themselves. Given good will to each p.fcr, cheer full optimistic outlook, determina- tfon in each to do his or her best, we are ampy justified from our experience of the last three years in feeling con- ddent that everything will come through right
