vent further disorders.
1t was learned officially that the
American government attaches no po-
litical significance to this incident In
other words, it is not regarded as be-
ing connected in any way with the
much discussed possibility of Japanese
intervention in Siberia. The landing
party was from q japanese cruiser sta
toned in Vladivostok harbor.
Since the return to Japan from
Russia of Baron Uchida, the Japanese
minister of Petrograd, the Japanese
prime minister has indicated clearly
that Japan does not intend at present
at least, to enter Siberia in a military
way without reference to the wishes
of the Russian government, unless ex-
treme emerg ency should arise. 1t has
been assumed here that such an emer-
gency would be organization Of the
German military prisoners in Siberia
into an armed force designed to seize
control of the country or the taking
possession by factions hostile to the
entente allies of the great quantity of
military stores accumulated at Vladi-
vostok.
Neither Of these contingencies has
arisen at Via divostok and the state de-
partments information indicates that
the trouble at that port is purely local.
While the Bolshevik element pre-
dominates az the port, it never has
been able to assert it's authority and
preserve order.

4 SHAMPOO WORTH TRYING

1t is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently if it is en-
tirely and properly cleansed each
time by the use of really good
shampoo. The easiest to use and
quickest drying shampoo that we can
recommend to our readers is one that
brings out all the natural beauty Of
the hair and may be enjoyed at very
little expense, by dissolving a tea
spoonful of Canthrox. which can be
obtained from any druggists. In a cup
of hot water. This makes full cup
of shampoo liquid, enough so it is
easy to apply it to all the hair instead
of just to the top of the head. This
when rubbed into the scalp and onto
every stand of hair. chemically dis
solves all impurities. 1t Is very
soothing and cooling in it's action, as
well as beneficial to both scalp and
hair. After rinsing out the lather
so created, you will find the scalp is
fresh, clean and free from dandruff.
while the hair dries quickly and
evenly, developing a bright luster
and soft fluffiness that makes it
seem very heaVy.--Adr
