EVENTS
AID TO LEAGUE,
HITCHCOCK SAYS
Declares Japan's Stand,
Austrian Attitude and
Red Peril Help 1t.
WILL UNITE AMERICA
Senator Believes Sentiment
For Plan Is Growing
In u. S.

The sweep of Bolshevism across Ed
rope, coupled with the opposition tao
tics OF France and Japan. form the
strongest arguments for the league
OF nations and will strengthen 1t in
American public opinion, Senator
Hitchcock, Foreign Relations Com
mittee chairman, declared yesterday.
Il believe sentiment for the league
is gaining" said Hitchcock. I'm
doubtedly the desire to know about
it is growing and from the tone OF
the many invitations to speak that
/ am receiving 1 should say this de-
sire for Information is friendly rather
than hostile.
League Is Needed.
My belief is that when it comes
to saying yes or mo- on the league
covenant as submitted. those Sen
ators opposing the league in its
present form will bow TO the uni
versal public sentiment that demands
some sort OF league and will say yes.
The opposition of Japan is, to my
mind, the best thing that happened.
With Japan against it, a good many
Americans are iikely TO be for the
league.
French opposition Of course is based
on a demand which we can never con-
cede-the demand for a standing army
to protect her against Germany. II
we concede that there will be no
league"
The menacing spread OF Bolshevisnl.
exemplifed by the situation in
Hungary, is one of the strongest rea-
sons President Wilson has for urging
that the league and the peace treaty
be made one, Hitchcock said.
Hunger Threat Potent.
He pointed out that unruIy nations
will calm themselves when confronted
by a union OF the allied and neutral
nations capable of WELDING, not alone
irresistible military force. but equally
potent economic power. The threat Of
starvation for any group Of people de-
flying the league would quickly cause
some OF the loudest shouting Bolshe-
visits to subside, in Hitchcock's opin-
ion.
In addition. he sar II is necessary
that the league be part Of the pea &c
settlement so that the nations which
do not get all they desired through the
settlement shall not be able to go home
and, working through the old chan
nels Of secret diplomacy. intrigue to
get by stealth or duplicity what they
were unable TO win on their upon
claims
Hitchcock expressed belief that
much Of the openly expressed Euro
pean opposition to the league cove
nant has arisen because Of hostile
criticism in the United States. This,
he said, probably has encourage
some foreigners to hope that by join
ing the anvil chorus" they may sue
ceed in reopening the covenant for
general amendment TO meet their de-
sides.
Hitchcock left yesterday for Chi
cago, where he will speak Wednesday.

EGYPTIAN BEDOUINS
CLASH WITH BRITISH
Inquiry May Result in Change of

London. March 4.-CeciI Harms

foreign affairs, announced in the
house OF commons this afternoon that
the government intends to conduct
an inquiry in Egypt and possibly re-
form the administration.

TIENTSIN BRAWL !
PLACES AMERICA.
IN UGLY POSITION.
Japan's Snap Judgment
Against u. S. Soldiers
Resented Here.
NIPPON CLAIMS DENIED
Reports from Other Sources
Do Not Agree with the
Charges First Made.

Japan's snap judgment against the
United States in her declaration that
the American soldiers were at fault
in the recent row at Tientsin has cre-
ated a very ugly situation diplomati-
cally for the United States.
The decision of Japan appears. it
Is true, under the sanction of the
war office, but it is believed here that
in view of the tension between the
United States and Japan. the state
ment would not have been allowed to
go out from Tokyo had 1t not been
approved by the japanese minister for
foreign affairs.
Jnpan's Statement Denied.
1t is very well known that the in
formation the United States has on
the subject from Tientsin and Peking
does not bear out the fiat-footed, hasty
declaration OF Japan that the United
States soldiers were at fault. 1t seems
very plain to officials here now that
the peculiar character of the punish
ment used against the Americans
would have caused japan to take
time by the foreloCk and defend her
soldiers and police even at the risk
of making an eN parte statement in
denunclation of the American troops.
The United States must now furnish
Japan with evidence which will force
her to change her decision or must
have the declarations of Japan
changed so that this government
shall not be obliged to apologize to
the Mikado's government. Officials
were not in position today to furnish
official denials of the japanese con-
tentions.
Action In Bad Taste.
It was announced, however, by the
State Department that the circum-
stances OF the riot at Tientsln were
being Investigated by a committee.
The names of the committee or
whether they are all Americans, or Of
various nationalities are facts ap-
parently not known here yet. 1t is
evident that IL Japan knew or was
represented on the committee IL was
in very bad international taste to give
to the press what was tantamount to
the statement that if there were any
apologizing to be done it would not be
by Japan.
The State Department has given out
nothing OF consequence on the affair
from the time Willing Spencer. of the
American Legation at Peking. was
sent by Minister Paul Refnsch to
Tientsin to make inquiry and report
on the facts. Minister Reinsch cabled
the department that he had mailed a
report, but that fact was not salts
factory to the department and he was
instructed to report also by cable.
What he has sent has not been given
out.

Careless Use Of
Soap SpoiIs the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if
you want to keep your hair looking its
best Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
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 mulsfed cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, its very cheap and few
ounces will supply every member Of the
family for months.
