year, with the war taking many Of the

tional pastimc was not very great
here either this seas n, as few semi

with Henry on May u, by the way

Thus ii is likely that Strcator will

STATE DEPARTMENT
PUTS LID ON PRESS
All News Given Out Must
Come From Him or Pub
Ecity Bureau

Washington, May s.-Seeretary of
State Lansing followed up his new iron
hand censorship today by announcing
that he will srmmarily dismiss any en-
ployes Of the department who give the
lress any information upon which cri.
teism Of governmental policies may be
based.
ANY department employe who dares
personally to criticise any policy also
will be missed Immediately.
While claiming that his action was
taken in an effort to help the press get
the news, Lansing in the same breath
made known his determination to dis.
charge any employe violating the new
muzzle regulations.
The secretary faced a large group of
correspondents who protested against
his order, prohibiting anyone in the
department except himself and his of,
ticial press bureau from even talking
to newspapermen. The long smoldering
dissatisfaction at the department IS sup
preston, incorrect guidance and near
spy system, was thoroughly aired.
Lansing listened blandly, saying that
he welcomed criticism and repeating hi.
assertion that his object was to oper
news channels.
II was pointed out that while opening
one channel, which he personally con
trolled, he had closed others, providing
easy means Of suppressing all news Of
the country International relations
except that which it pleases him t.
make known.
The correspondents told Lansing tina
it was evident he did not trust his sub
ordinates ana that he evidently did no
have confidence in the newspaper mel
writing of international affairs. Tn,
secretary has made no secret Of his lacl
of confidence in some newspaper mel
here. His statements today made i
clear he does not trust the judgment O
department subordihates in matters O
publicity
Lansing's only answer to the charg
that he was establishing an iron system
of suppression was that in his opinion
it was quite the contrary; that he wei
coined criticism and would see that al
proper announcements were made to tn
press.
There was no effort to conceal tn
fact that he has made himself the ali
solute dictator of news OF the relation
of this country and all foreign nations
He denied that he was paving the wa
for secret diplomacy, but his statement
all showed clearly that machinery fo
the maintenance of such secrets ha
been completed.

If you want to keep your hair in

Most soaps and prepared shampoos

scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful. Just plain mulsified CO.

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 it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly The lather rinses out easi-
ly, and removes every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and 1t
leaves it fine and silky, bright fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. 1t is very cheap,
