Entertainment For
Soldiers Provided by
.t = Knights of Columbus

Paris, Feb. 14.-One of the most
apparent needs of the members of
the American Expeditionary Force
at the present time is entertain
ment to assist in passing away the
time until orders are received to de-
part for home. TO meet this need
the Knights of Columbus, through
its Entertainment Division, have or
ganized numerous troupes of enter
tainers who win visit the various
units of the army and the first party
of entertainers has left Paris.
1t is announced that this work
will extend to the American forces
in France, Belgium, Italy and Ger
many and that evel. unit of the
army will be reached.
Among the Knights of Columb bus
secretaries in France are many pro-
fessional entertainers who will be
distributed, among the groups and
will be assisted with amateur talent
among the workers. Entertainers
will also be secured from among
the members of the American Ex-
peditionary Force to augment the
work of the secretaries.

MANY PRE-WAR
TALES SHATTERED
BY NEW BOOK
Assassination of Archduke
Ferdinand Not Stage
Managed

London. Feb. 14.-Some of the ac-
cepted stories of the happenings of
the momentous days just prior to
the war, it is understood. are shat
tered in a book based on official
documents and personal notes of
diplomats and officials issued to-day.
The book characterize sas a fall
lacy the belief that the ASA assina-
ton of Archduke Francis Ferdinand
at Serajevo was stage managed
affair" but 1t is asserted from
knowledge gained from official doc
uments that If the assassination had
not occurred the war certainly
would have been started very soon.
War Decision Made
The famous Potsdafh conference
OF July 8, 1914, according to the
book, was not what has been gem
orally accepted. The meeting took
place but 1t was not formal con-
ference as has been declared re-
peatedly. 1t is asserted that many
persons who were supposed to have
been there were not prsnt. Emperor
William and members of the Ger
man imperial staff were present.
however, ana at this conference Ger
many definitely decided for war.
The book was written by Profess
sor Charles w. c. Oman, president
of the Royal Historical Society, and
a professor of history at Oxford
University. A. j. Balfour, the Brit
ish foreign secretary, and Earl Cur
zon, government leader in the House
of Lords, are understood to have
taken an active interest in its com
pilation.
Lichnowsky, Betrayed
A series of hitherto unpublished
communications between Sir Edward
Grey, the British foreign secretary
in 1914 and Prince Lichnowsky.
German ambassador in London at
the outbreak of the war;. goes to
prove, Professor Oman says. that
the British foreign office believed
that Lichnowsky was absolutely
honest. The book says:
They emphasize the personal
anxiety of Lichnowsky and show
that he was actually and literally
betrayed by his government-ino 9TH

tool of the kaiser"

Use Cocoanut Oil
For w ashing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali.. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie and is very harmful. Just plain
mulsified cocoanuf oil (Which is pure
and entirely greaseless) is much bet
ter than the most expensive soap or
anything else you can use for sham
pooing, 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 abundant
of rich creamy lather and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough
to last everyone in the family for
months.
