London. = A Teuton submarine
sank the British hospital ship Liam
dovery Castle, 116 miles southwest OF
Fastnet on June 81, the British adj
miralty announced.
The Llandovery Castle Was hom"-

far has reached port.
The admiralty announcement was;
about 10 o'clock ON jane II, l1S
miles southwest of Fastnet the hos
pital ship Llandovery Castle was tor
pedoed by an enemy 6flhnEarfTle and
sank in about 10 minutes. She was
homeward bound from Canada and
therefore there were no sick or
wounded on board, bat her crew cob
sisted of 164 officers and men and
she carried 80 Canadian ARMY medi-
Gals and IA female nurses.
''Of this total of 258 only one boat
containing "a survivors has so far
reached port, Search is stih being;
made and there is bare possibility
that others may yet be found
''It is to be noted that in this, az
indeed in all other instances the Ger
man submarine had perfect right to
stop and search the hospital ship m
der The Hague convention, but She
preferred to torpedo the Llandoyery
Castle.
Subsequently the admiralty issued
the following comment on the sink
ing:
'Germany's awful debt TO the woZ1d
continues to grow. Another hospital
ship has been torpedoed, tfii1 time
116 miles from the nearest Lard, ana
her people turned adrft in their boats
to sink or siwm as they hest might.
And though, as it happened, she was
a Canadian hospital ship returning
from Halifax with no wounded on
board the tale OF crime reveals "a
wanton elaboration ON the part OF
the submarine commander and almost
suggests the hope on his part that he
would find her fun of inquired ana
helpless men"

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For WASHING Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the ha:r brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
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 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 easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt. dandrun
and excessive Oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage. =,

Way TO Advise Gen. Foch

Vienna blames the weather for the
Austrian disaster in Italy-seems to
think Me und Colt forgot their ally
at a critical hour. But the Austrian
government should remember that
even worse disaster would surely have
ovcrtaken their army had not the
waters of the Piave subsidized as
quickly as they arose, and permitted
the licked, disorganzed and scare
cape almost dry shod. The waters
parted" or, rather. departed and
saved thousands. Vienna should re-
joice rather than complain.
Baron Burian. Emperor Charles
foreign minister, blames Germany for
forcing them into this predicament on
an empty stomach and a shaky dis
position He feared revolution; he
fears almost anything now-and he
may get it.
Meanwhile. the Italians are slowing
away $1,000 prisoners, and on the
Western front the allies are initiating
the Milliken regiment-waiting.
Gen. F'och has not cabled for our
advice so we are taking it for granted
many things he might do but as any
one of these might be as fruitful of
disaster as was the German order for
the Austrians to drive" we refrain
from offering our advice unasked.
Every time we think Of it we about
decide that Gen. Foch knows what
he is about, and that perhaps things
we'll as they are, if everybody had had
a hand in managing it. Suppose we
let Foch continue?
Oh, yes, every street in every town.
and every officer everywhere has its
experts who would settle the thing
double quick if they could only be in
Gen. Foch's shoes-but they're not.
And so Gen. Foch MAY decide 20
back up the Italian hot foot after
skedaddling Austrians. and he may
do something else. But whatever he
does he is not going to holler much
about it because the Germans might
be listening. and if they were and he
should HAPPEN to change his mind,
why then they'd be disappointed
Therefore, the EASIEST philosophy
for Us is to let F'och alone, and keep
on sending men. and food, and mu-
nitions. and building ships, and flivvcr
U.boat hunters, and-and buying

Why the Savings Pledge?

During the present intensive War
Savings campaign we are asked to
pledge ourselves to save and with our
savings to buy at definite times
specific amount of War Savings
Stamps. Why should We be called
upon to do this and why should we
do it?
We arc called upon to do it because,
as President Wilson says, this is d
war of nations, not of armies, and
everyone in the land must do his
share. So far more than 1000, 900
men have gone into the army and
nav and 100000 more are to join
before August /. These 100000 men
give themselves as their donation to
tho war. The remaining 9700o,0 900
people left at home must give some
thing else as their share.
This savings pledge gives the stay
athomes an opportunity for service.
We are asked to pledge ourselves 70
save and economic, to use labor and
materials only as necessity demands,
and to invest our savings in War Saw
ings stamps.
The Government asks us to do this
because the amount of labor and ma
tcrials in the country is limited;
there is not enough of either to per-
NIT us to use it in the same free way
as we did in peace times and at the
same time to leave enough in the
ment. 1t is purely a question of sup
ply and demand. II we use the sup
ply the Government does not have it
for war needs. And the smaller the
amount the Government has for use
the longer will the war last. That is
the primary reason for the savings
campaign.
But there is another side to the
question. The Government asks us
to pledge ourselves to save to help
win the war. 1t does not ask us to
give 1t anything except our co-opera-
ton. In return for our help we re-
ceive a Government security which
pays US a good rate of interest.
II we do as the Government asks,
and as we should. this. then. will be
the result: % We shall buy only
those things necessary tc maintain
US In the best Of health and spirits;
t2> by refraining from buying UNI
necessary things we shall leave in the
markets for Government use a great.

from now on he is going to take ms
