GERMANS WARN
PRESIDENT WILSON
Leaders Threaten Revolt If IA
Peace Principles Are
Forgotten.

BERLIN, April 4. (By the Associated
Press. l-Leading ethical, philosophical
and religious societies of Germany have
addressed an appeal to President Will
son giving warning against a disregard
Of principles to which Mr., Wilson has
pledged himself, which, they claim, in
duced Germany to lay down her arms,
The appeal declares that "if the Ger
nlan are driven to desperation, they
would rather become Bolsheviki than
slaves and charges the Czechs and
Poles with anticipating the conclusion
of the peace conference and violating
the Wilsonian principles. 1t says the
allies are not only %condoning the
acts of the Czechs and Poles, but
are supporting those nations"
1t is maintained the allies provoked
a%narchistic conditions in Germany by
refusing to relax the blockade,
In discussing the possibility OF a re-
Vival of militarism, the appeal says:
"Only one thing could again weld the
Germans of every state into a war
like power-the continuation of the pol
icy Of hate and humiliation that has
been pursued by the allies"
Mr.. Wilson Is warned that the United
States, with its great private fortunes
and billion-dollar trusts Is a fertile
field for communism" and it Is suggest
ed that wealthy Americans had better
support the league of nations"

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which Is very
injurious, as It dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Just plain
mulsined cocoanut oil, for It Is pure
and entirely greaseless, It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub It in, about a %teaspoonful ia
all that is required. 1t ebhkes an
abundance Of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rtnses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
