London, Jan. Recommending
upon the statement made by Secre-
tary of War Baker before Con-
gressional Committee regarding war
p.'epa rations. the semi official Nord-
deutsche Allgemeine zeitung OF Ber-
In sayls:
"The American secretary OF war
speaks of an American army in
France. There is an American army
in France, but it consists entirely of
wooJcutters, Railway men and doc
tors. except two or three divisions
whose precious lives are being spared
IN quiet places"
Mr.. Baker speaks as If shortly
there would be 100000 Americans
in France. Can the United States
spare such q large number OF men?
The answer is no, because large
rart OF the army must remain be-
hind for the protection of the from
tiers, the coasts, the colonies and fer
other duties ot a political nature.
The political situation coIcpels the
United States to keep at home the
greater portion of it's army and the

Europe's Largest Dam
Built by u. S. Experts

The largest dam in Europe, situat-
ed near the old fortified town of
Talarn, Spain, was recently COM
pleted by American engineers and
experts 1t is constructed of con-
crete, and is $40 feet high, 700 feet
long and 230 feet at the base, grad
ually decreasing to IA feet at the
top. The Noguera Pallaresa river
flowed through the chasm across
which the dam is built, and it abuts
on almost perpendicular cliffs.
The valley above the dam was
bought from the various landhold-
ers at cost of nearly $1,000, 900,
and now filled with water, forms an
artificial lake 15b miles long and
8 q miles wide. The floodgates are
SO carefully balanced that they open
automatically under the pressure of
q rise of one inch of water. The
natural formation of the rock near
the dam has been utilized to pro-
vide a spillway with a capacity of
10000 cubic feet of water a second.
The dam has a twofold object in
the production of electric power and
use in irrigation. The water that
now passes through the powerhouse
yields an electric current of 10000
horse power. Later it will be in
creased to 10000 horse power. The
water is carried by a system of
canals into an arid district, where it
irrigates a surface of nearly one
hundred square miles. A great deal
of American-mad machinery was
used in the construction work

u. S. Government Seizes
100000 Loaded Shells
Meant for Russian Govt.

Wilmington, Del, Jan. 1S.-About
100000 loaded shells, comprising
125 carloads, originally made for the
Russian government, which have
been stored in magazines along the
Delaware river, below Wilmington,
were seized to-day by the United
States government, which placed 100
soldiers on guard.
The explosives were made ;or the
original Russian government and
when it collapsed the local contrac-
tor had them on his hands. At the
time of the seizure they were re-
puted to be the property of the New
Castle Construction Company and,
as far as known no arrangements had
been made for any disposition of
them. Because of the fear they
might prove menace to Whining
ton, complaint is said to have been
made to the federal government
which acted promptly. What dis
position the government will make
oT;the explosives is not known.

OF the most cruel military autocracy
the world has ever seen.
"If any man here can find an hon
orable and equable way out of this
conflict without fighting it through"
the premier said, "let him tell 1T.
My conviction is this-the people
must either go on or go under"
The view of the government, Mr..
Lloyd George said, was that it would
be folly to withdraw men from in
dustries one hour sooner than the
need arose, but that it would be
treason to the state, to democracy
and to freedom If, when the need
did arise, the demand should not
be made.
Whatever terms were put forward
by any pacifist orator here, the pre-
mier declared, would not be cashed
by Ludendorff or the Kaiser unless
the British had the power to enforce
them.

ITALIAN TROOPS
BREAK PRESSURE

canals. But recently low water has
permitted the enemy to renew his
incursions almost to Capo Sile and
the Venetian lagoons.
Enemy patrols had established
dugouts and posts in the lagoons at
Agenzia Zuliana, just across the
river from Capo Sile, which COM
mands the canal running to Porto
Grande and the region back of
Venice. During the early days of
the weez the Italian navy had bonn
barded the dugouts and destroyed
the bridge on which the enemy was
attempting to cross at AgenZia
Trezza. The enemy made repeated
attempts to enlarge his position but
was uniformly repulsed.
Met by Chosen Troops
Stung by the repeated checks the
enemy brought his full force to bear
yesterday morning. They were met
by chosen Italian troops from the
Grenadier and Bersaglieri brigades.
The Italian defense was led by the
Bersaglieri, who had asked that
privilege in order to answer sour
rilous pamphlets which had been
thrown into the Italian lines.
The Bersaglieri hewed their way
to the enemy's support line. The
fight was stubborn for the first two
hours, but the enemy gradually gave
ground as fresh ranks of Bersaglieri
cheering the singing patriotic sings,
threw themselves into the struggle.
The enemy was finally pushed back
from the positions he had gained.
One of the favorite ruses used
by the enemy was for a party of his
troops to advance with their hands
up, calling "Kamerad!" when they
would get close to the Italian lines
they would rush forward suddenly
with hand grenades but to be
moved down as they advanced by
the italian machine gunfire. The
fighting throughout was at close
quarters.
Italians Take Prisoners
Heavy losses were sustained by
the enemy and the Italians captured
$50 prisoners. The battle ground
was covered with Austrian dead,
and burial parties were busy
through the night.
Many individual instances of brav-
cry stand out. In one case an ltal-
ian officer and five men leaped into
an Austrian trench, took two ma
chine guns, killed all the Austrian
gunners and brought back the guns.
The Italian success gives a serious
check to the enemy effort to inn
prove his position near Venice.

Careless Use of Soap
Spoils the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully.
If you want to keep your hair look
ing it's best. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle. and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub 1t in. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather.
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky
bright, lustrous. fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy. it's very cheap, and
q few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for months.
