Verdun Asks Help
Of American City
In Rehabilitation

PARIS, Aug. pa deputation
from the municipal council of Yer
dun called upon William G. Sharp,
the American ambassador, yester-
day to suggest the possibility OF
some American city aiding Verdun
in the reconstruction of the city
hall, water works, schools and
other ruined public properties.
The mayor read an address
wherein he referred to the great
kindness OF the United States to-
ward France and the liberality of
some American cities in assisting
ruined French cities.
Mr.. Sharp in reply referred to
the admiration of Americans for
the heroic defense of Verdun and
his intention to seek the best
means OF bringing the request OF
the city Of yerdun to the attSn-
tion of the United States. =
1t appeared during the CONVEX
sation that only six civilians are
now in verdun. They are lremen
and police.

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want 10 keep your hair in
good condition. be careful what you
wash 1t with.
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
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply mOisten your hair with
water and rub IL in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance Of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle Of dust, dirt. dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quick
ly and evenly, and IL leaves II fine
and silky, bright. fluffy ana easy to
manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.-AdYt,

about 1000 miles off this port, by a
British warship. according to word
brought here by a British steamer,
which had aboard part OF the crew Of
the German vessel
Part of the crew of the German
vessel Is said to have persisted in the
fight. The remaining members Of the
crew escaped from the sinking ship
in lifeboats. The British warship
summoned two British steamers that
were in the vicinity and transferred
to them the survivors. who were made
prisoners of war.
The British vessel that arrived here
remained two days, and then left for
a British port to land her prisoners.

CAMPANA'S SINKING
TO DOUBLE SHELLS
OF MERCHANT SHIPS

Ammunition supplies on all mer-
chant ships will be doubled as a re-
sult of the Campana sinking. Secre-
tary OF Navy Daniels said today.
The Campana, sunk after a game
running fight with q German U-boat,
surrendered only after her $50 rounds
OF ammunition had been exhausted.
All ships in the future win carry 300
rounds, II they can take care OF tlSit
much.
PeriscOpe Only Target.
Failure of the gun crew to sink the
attacking submarine was attributed
to the fact that the submarine, q
speedier craft, had an immense tarket
to shoot at while the navy gunners
aboard the sIow-going tanker had
practically nothing but a .periscope
TO aim at.
All gunners on all merchantmen.
Daniels said, are expert '"spotters"-
able to fire rapidly at extremely small
objects. Though most Of the navy
crews have the advantage Of range
finders, Daniels admitted, it may be
impossible to obtain range finders for
all OF these ships.
Doubt Third Officers Tale.
Daniels and Admiral Benson, CHEZ
Of operations, doubt the story Of the
Campana's third officer, ]. H. Bruce,
that the submarine which sank the
Campana was in turn sunk by
French cruiser. No confirmation Of
the submarines sinking had been re-
ceived. They believe the story shonld
not be taken as positive.
According to Bruce's story the
battle started about 8 a m, and
continued at a range of about 1900
yards. Although the Campana's guns
were outranged by the two guns
mounted on the submarine, the tanker
put up a brave fight, firing all Of its
$50 shells. The submarine fired about
400 shots, but only two struck. When
the Campana's ammunition supply be-
came exhausted, the international sig
nal of surrender was hoisted, but the
submarine continued firing.
The U-boat's commander then Ap-
preached a boat containing Bruce and
the thirteen members OF the gun crew.
