SPEECH CAUSES A
GREAT SENSATION
DR.. Michaelis Declares
Indescribable Misery
Is Threatened

London, March 8-The Prus-
sian food controller, Dir. George
Michaelis, made in the Prussian
Diet what the Koelnische Zeit-
ung calls a serious speech upon
the food situation, says a Reu-
ter dispatch from Amsterdam.
DR.. Michaelis declared that the
distress was such that a more
severe state of things, especially
in the large industrial centers,
could hardly be imagined. He
indicated the possibility that all
surplus stocks of grain would be
exhausted and said that very
radical measures We're needed to
enable the people to hold out
until next year.

break with Germany. First word of
the move came several days ago from
Ambassador Elkus at Constantinolple
who cabled that Turkey would be glad
to receive the new consuls on condi-
ton that they be accredited under the
new form of exquatur. In replying that
this government could not consent to
Americans being placed under Moslem
law. the state department emphas sized
that its position should not be consd-
cred in any sense a reflection on Tur-
kish statutes and pointed out that con-
current legal systems with a different
law for different races in Turkish ter
ritory, dated back to the organization OF
the Ottoman Empire.
While Germany stated at first that
she was holding the four American
consuls until the American government
made it possible for former consul
Meuller at Atlanta to go the Ecador.
it was later stated that she did not
care to have them travel across the
country only to be refused by Turkey
at the border. The most recent dis
patches indicate that they still are de-
tanned at Munich.
Meanwhile negotiations still are in
complete for continuance Of the voy-
age Of the American cruiser Des

ans and bring out American refugees.
In response to urgent cables from the
department for assurance Of the safety

one rather indefinite reply and another
saying that he had not yet been able
to get final word. Officials are much

ans and about 1000 Americans are wait
ing at Beirut. AS it is understood, Tur-
key is willing to guarantee safe con-
duct so far as she herself is concerned,
but has not been able to give similar
assurances for her allies.
Turkey has not taken any action on
the appointment Of new ambassador
since the name submitted to the state
department several months ago was
stated to be acceptable the belief
prevails here that she will not try to
send on a new representative under
present conditions.

In spite Of the best care one takes Of

Endurance Lacking

We have in the third year of the
war" the food controller is quoted as
saying. discovered that along all Sec
tons of people the general feeling
tvinced is not one of that endurance
Tor which we had hoped. This is hu-
man nature but 1t is highly deplor-
able and may have most serious re-
suits.
we have not perceived in the towns
that stern supervision which is abso-
lutely necessary in the distribution of
foodstufs. There has been widespread
abuse OF bread tickets. entailing grave
consequence as regard our stocks.
Bread tickets have been illegally used
in such n shocking scale that our en-
tire reserves were exhausted. So, when
potatoes failed and bread was ordered
az "A substitute. there was none avail
able. Flour has been similarly reduced,
owing to similar Irregularities in the
mills"
Dr. Michaelis concluded by urging
the utmost severity To remedy the
shortcomings while there was yet time.
Some of the mills would have to be
closed and the municipalities deprived

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your 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 1t 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 fam
lis for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance 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 handle. Besides. 1t loosens
and takes out every particle of dust.
