Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in

wash it with
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsi-
lied cocoanut oil (Which is pure and
entirely greaseless). is much better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for shampoo
ing, as this can't possibly injure the
hair.

fuls will make an abundance of rich,

CITES FOUR FAVORABLE POINTS
Believes Germany Would We'll
come a Peace Conference.
Recalls That Both Sides Make
SuperIative Demands.

London. March Sin the view of
the Marquis of Lansdowne, expressed
in letter to the Daily Telegraph the
recent speech of Chancellor Won Hert-
ling marks a perceptible advance in
peace discussions. Lord Lansdowne
thinks it all the more remarka BILE be-
cause the speech may be regarded
as a kind of rejoinder to the depress-
ing announcement recently made
some of us think rather gratuitously-
by the Versailles conference"
Lord Lansdowne notes that the
German chancellor regarded the
speech made by Viscount Miner, on
February 81, as more conciliatory
than that made recently by Walter
board of trade and Lansdowne seems
by implication to agree with Count
Won Hertling. Four point of Won
Hertling's speech are selected by Lord
Lansdowne for comment. First is the
chancellor's wish for an intimate
meeting of the belligerents Lord
Lansdowne interprets this to mean a
small informal meeting, not of pleni-
potentiaries but of persons authorized
to discuss confidentiallv the possibility
of a more formal conference. He re-
fers approvingly to the opinion of For
eign Secretary Balfour that it would
be unwise to begin negotiations I'M
less some preliminary agreement eX-
lists and asks how such a preliminary
agency is to be reached without pre-
Hminary conversations.
Both Make Extravagant Claims.
Lord Lansdowne remarks that al
lied spokesman now are sternly repro
hating Germany'S crimes and sub
hitting demands which are not likely
to be conceded until Germany is beat
en- to her knees. while German
spokesman are putting forward mad
INVISIBLE dema ndS and imDuting selfish
and aggressive aims to the allies. He
continues:
In these circumstances it seems
at first sight that there is nothing for
it, but that Count Won Hertling calls
adherence to the existing method of
dialogue across the channel and the
ocean dialogues which after all may
be useful
The second point is Won Hertling's
admission that peace can be discussed
on the basis of President Wilson's four
principles. This, says Lord Lansdowne.
is satisfactory as far as it goes, but
he maintains that I'VE are entitled to
scrutinize the manner il which these

principles have been applied by Ger
many
The third point is the chancellor's
assurance that he would greet joyfully
and cooperate gladly with an impair
tial court of international arbitration.
Lord Lansdowne says this statement
may be welcomed and recalls that Mr.
Balfour made similar utterance. The
fourth point in Won HertlingS intima-
ton that Germany does not think of
retaining Belgium together with the
chancellor's references to the papal
note and to the utilization of Belgium
as the jumping off ground for Ger
many's enemies.
Lord Lansdowne admits that when
read in the light of other German ut
terances this leads to the inference
that the chancellor contemplated the
imposition upon Belgium of terms
which would interfere with her indie
pendence, but he points out that the
ma. erial passage in the papal note,
Upon which Won Hertling apparently
relies, insists that Germany eVacuate
Belgium and guarantee her full po-
litical, military and economic indie
pendence. adding that if such guar
antee is really all the chancellor re-
quires. it ought not to be difficult to
satisfy him.
The letter continues:
Must Clear Up Belgium Policy.
dialogue which will doubtless be con-
tinued, he will tell US whether this is
his meaning or whether wholly differ
ent designs not limited in the papal
note. were in, his mind. This point re-
quireS clearing up because if Count
Won Hertling's overture has been
turned down. this has been in great
measure due to the Interpretation
placed upon his reference to Belgium.
With an international court in oper-
alton there would not be much lkeli-
| hood of such abuse of the neutrality
/ of Belgium as Cdunt Won Hertling p
prehends."
Up to this point, Lord Lansdowne
goes on, he is unable to see why in
innate discussions cannot take place;
for there is a basic agreement he says
upon President Wilson principles the
need of an international tribunal and
also, he believes, regarding Belgium
he contends that treatment similar to
that required for Belgium must be
extended to the other areas occupied
by the central powers.
AIsace- Lorraine Is Snag.
However, he sees formidable diff
! culties arising from claims for the
transference of territories from one
power to another, such as Alsace-Lor-
raine to France, parts of Austria to
Italy and parts of Turkey to Great
Britain He does not suggest that
| these are all on the same plane, but
rather that all differ from any ques-
ton of restoration, and asks whether
it is not inevitable that all such ques-
lions shall be left for the final peace
congress to which Premier Lloyd
George suggested the question Of the
German colonies be submitted suge
sestion in which he says, President
Wilson apparently concurs.
Lord Lansdowne asks whether any
one supposes these questions could be
settled while the war is raging and
whether anything more can now be
done than to lay down principles upon
which the peace congress would deal
with these matters. He raises the
question whether Improvement can be
made on the principles which Mr..
Wilson has proposed which both sides
apparently are not indisposed to &C
