NEXT STEPS OF U. S.
EAGERLY AWAITED
[Continued From First Page]
the President would not be rushed
into war, it was plain that all officials
realized that the much featured overt
act might come at any time.
Flat rejection by the T'nited States
of Germany's proposal to discuss inter
national differences without lirst halt
inpr the illegal submarine campaign
left one other suggestion of the Ber
lin government still pending at the
State Department to-day. That was
to reaffirm the Prussian-American
treaties of 1799 and 1828, relating
mainly to treatment of enemy resi
dents In war times, with a number of
new provisions which apparently
would constitute almost a new treaty.
It seemed quite probable that this
proposal, the same as that submitted
to Ambassador Gerard at Berlin after
he had asked for his passports and
which he declined to consider, will be
frowned upon also. Both offers were
submitted to the State Department
through the Swiss minister, acting on
behalf of Germany.
To Ask Release of Prisoners
A report probably will be made soon
through the same channel that no
German merchant ships have been
seized in American ports and 110 Ger
man sailors have been imprisoned.
The government then will look for im
mediate release of the seventy-two
American sailors captured from Brit
ish ships in the Atlantic by a German
raider and now held prisoners in Ger
many. The State Department was
notified yesterday that they were still
held, pending receipt of information
on the German crews of this country.
President Wilson had under consid
eration to-day the question whether
Hie Navy Department shall furnish
gun* to arm American merchant ships,
as it is understood the State Depart
ment has recommended.
Treats Break as ot
"Grave Importance"
El Paso. Tex.. Fell. 13. The
break in diplomatic relations between
the United States and Germany is
treated as a matter of grave import
ance to Mexico by "El Pueblo." a Car
l-anza organ of Mexico City, in copies
that reached here to-day. In an edi
torial the director of the paper, Heri
l>erto Baron, asks the Mexicans to re
strain their feelings and maintain out
ward calm, as he says popular demon
strations might involve the govern
ment.
After referring to the friendly rela
tions that Mexico has cultivated both
with the Central Powers, to which
Carranza sent a minister plenipoten
tiary, and with the United States, the
writer goes on to say:
"Under Carranza's direction our re
public has succeeded in the facl of
the European conflagration in pre
serving the strictest neutrality, and
we should help our government to
not imperil the interests of our be
loved country. We are ignorant of
the complications for Mexico that may
result from this hurricane."
Bitterly Attacks Brazilian
Minister For U-Boat Note
Rio Janeiro, Feb. 13. —Deputy Medei
ros bitterly attacks Dr. Lauro Mtiller,
the Brazilian foreign secretary, in an
article in A Noite, in connection with
the Brazilian note to Germany, which he
terms a terrible dece.ption. According
to Senor Medeiros the praise given the
note in tlie French press is merely a
manifestation of politeness. The arti
cle continues:
"Dr. Lauro Muller ought not to ig
nore the terrible suspicion which sur
rounds Ijim on account of his origin and
his political interests. The actual note
did not dissipate this nightmare and
now when Dr. Muller discovers in it
a decisive energy he is only reinforcing
the belief that it Is impossible for him
to do anything against Germany.
Alluding to the possible candidacy of
the foreign secretary for the presi
dency, Senor Medeiros says: "When
Dr. Muller will have proven that in
spite of the appeals of his ancestry he
can dissipate the suspicion which sur
round him he will have won so great
a victory over himself that nobody will
dare to dispute his right to aspire to
the highest post in the republic, of
which he will be then absolutely wor
thy. Acts are now indispensable, not
words. The note is at this moment a
document without definite value. To
morrow it will be excellent or detest
able according to the acts which follow
it."

While the military activities along

British are lighting their way toward

there has been an Increase in the im
portance of the operations in several
of the other war areas.
From the Tigris front in Asia there
I comes the official report of an impor
tant British success. The British have
established a line more than three
miles long across the bend of the
Tigris west of Kut-El-Amara. the op
eration resulting in the Turks there
being completely hemmed in, it is de

In Macedonia the Teutonic forces

captured.
On the Russian front the Austro-
German forces have repulsed Russian
attacks along the Sereth in Galicla,
and further south along the Moldavian
frontier of Rumania a Russian point
of support near Vale Putna was cap
tured by the Germans.

Another vessel has been added to
the list of victims of the German sub
marine blockade, the Norwegian mo
tor vessel West, presumably a new
merchant ship of unknown tonnage,
as she is not listed in the latest ship
ping records available.
SPROUL RESOLUTION
IS HOTLY DEBATED
[Continued From First I'a go]
The House then took up the debate
on the resolution as a whole.
When the resolution came up Mr.
Sarig, Berks, promptly introduced a
series of amendments providing the
same plan of investigation by a com
mission which was ruled out as un
constitutional in the Senate last Mon
day. Mr. Sarig is the Democratic floor
leader, and the proposed amendments
were drafted by the Democratic legis
lative committee. Most of the Sena
tors and many spectators were present
when the measure came up.
Mr. Sarig addressed the House at
length on his amendments, saying the
Democrats believed they would meet
all objections made to the original
plan by the Governor and others as
unfair.
"I want to call the bluff about this
resolution for investigation. If the
two Republican factions want a fair
investigation as they claim they do,
let them vote for these amendments,"
said he. "We have spent enough time
on this resolution. The people back
home want the fact that are behind
all this fuss." Mr. Sarig said the peo
ple are tired of the petty politics being
played and that they want an investi
gation that will be thorough.
Irrespective of what the Governor
or anyone else wants, said Mr. Beyer,
of Philadelphia, the proposition of
the Democrats is out of order because,
he held, the Legislature cannot dele
gate powers of investigation to any
other body.
Mr. Walton, Franklin, objected that
Mr. Beyer was debating a point of
order he had raised against the
amendment, but was not sustained.
If it Is true that the legislature
cannot have men not legislators as the
members of their committees to con
sider bills it cannot confer its powers
of investigation to "outsiders," argued
Mr. Beyer. Every branch of constitu
tional inquiry must remain where the
people placed it.
Mr. Goodwin, of Venango, followed
Mr. Beyer's constitutional argument,
holding that the Legislature ca¬
exercise executive or judicial power,
nor can it divest itself of any powers
conferred upon it by the basic law.
Mr. York, made answer for
the Democrats to the points of uncon
stitutionality, holding that the Legis
lature had delegated power to investi
gate "mine caves" to men not assem
blymen. The same was done for in
vestigation of feeble minded, the
chestnut tree blight. Are insurance
practices and other subjects, said he.
TVie point of order, he contended, was
an attempt to block the efforts of the
minority.
Mr. Beyer held that the commis
sions cited by Mr. Laucks were for
purely ministerial work and not along
the lines proposed by the "probe"
commission resolution.
Speaker Baldwin sustained Mr.
Beyer's point against the amendment
and Mr. Sarig appealed. Mr. Ram
sey, Delaware, was called to the
chair.
The chair was sustained, 148 to 44.
Seven Democrats voted to sustain and
17 Republicans, and others not to
sustain.
Effort to Report Earlier
Mr. Walter. Franklin, seconded by
Mr. Williams, Tioga, offered an
amendment to have the commission
to investigation report by May 1 in
stead of Juno 1. Mr. Walton contend
ed that if the commission did not re
port until June it would mean a leg
islative session prolonged Into July.
The idea of the probe, he said, is to
get increased economy and efficiency
and to extend its time would drag out
the session. Mr. Williams cited the
Capital investigation commission as
ono which did not conclude before the
Legislature adjourned.
Mr. Williams said In the case of the
Capital commission an extension of
time was granted, and it should be ar
ranged that the Legislature should not
be delayed by this probe. Those who
are urging the resolution, he said, had
not taken the House into their confi
dence.
Mr. Beyer in reply said it would
be better for the people to have the
legislature sit longer this year and he
strengly resented the imputation that
th legislators were idlers. Mr. Beyer
said a limitation of the time to report
would be to close the doors on a prop
er investigation.
A Simple Way to
Remove Dandruff
There is one sure way that
has never failed to remove dandruff
at once, and that Is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need), apply
It at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
genly with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all. of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign'and trace of It, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and
your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better.

Mrs. J. I. Chamberlain, 323 North

"No criticism can be directed against
Harrisburg Red Cross activities with
its present membership. This chap

great drawback is a lack of members.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS CELEBRATE LINCOLN DAY
What Would YOU Like-
Some News About?
EDITORS and reporters —just like other (oiks—arc prone
to become humdrum.
Practically every newspaper prints or attempts to print
just about the same kind of news—fires, murders, politics, social
events, the stock markets, sports, the war, national, state and
municipal activities, and so on.
All these things arc of great importance and have their
place or they would have been dropped long ago by progressive
journals.
But doubtless there are many things which seem interest
ing to you that you never see anything in the newspapers
about!
The Harrisburg Telegraph—bigger and better as it is going
to be—is anxious to be more than a mere, niooney news ma
chine. It wants to get away from the old humdrum, paperish,
reporterish idea of the world as seen bv the average newspaper.
It aims to satisfy the ideas of its thousands of readers.
What would YOU like some ne<vs about?
iSit down to-night, make a list of the things you want the
newspaper columns to tell about not now found, and send them
to the City Editor of the Telegraph.
You will help to make your newspaper more like what you
want it to be.

I>unn Makes a ltoar
The House cleared a big second
reading calendar during which Mr.
Dunn, Philadelphia, charged when the
Perry bill to authorize the United
States government to acquire land for
the Krankford arsenal came up that
it was identical with a bill he had pre
sented but which had not came out
of committee. He said he had pre
sented his bill on January 23 and that
"through trickery and treachery" his
bill had been "stolen" and introduced
by some one else.
He asked the members if they
would countenance such practices and
introduced a motion to send the bill
to the Judiciary General Committee.
During his remarks on the motion he
said that he had gone to the chair
man of the committee (Mr. Stein) in
charge and alleged that when he had
urged action he had been told that the
bill would not come out until "Jim
McNichol gave his O K." Mr. Dunn
said the bill was too grave a matter to

WHEN MARRIAGE
IS A FAILURE
Surely marriage is a failure when
its essential purpose, the raising of a
family of children, proves impossible.
In the childless home the married
pair, though sometimes more or less
unconscious of the fact, grow disap
pointed and lonely. Lacking the best
tie to hold them together they are
likely to drift apart, hence many sep
arations and divorces.
If every wife, whose physical state
prevents motherhood, would but try

Keboch, Jackson Agent, Says
Public Is Now Motor Wise
The public now weighs motor car
worth to a greater extent than for
merly because the automobile has now
come to be regarded as a staple ar
ticle, like real estate, furniture, ma
chinery and other units involving a
large expenditure, according to P. H.
Keboch. local distributor of the Jack
son motor car.
"Motor car buyers don't rely on first
hand impressions now." Mr. Keboch
said. "They consider the dollar for
dollar value and buy in accordance
with the real worth of the car —its
durability, economy, and so forth.
"The motor car buyer is also wary
of any car that he has reason to think
may soon become an orphan—that, is,
a car that may cease to be manufac
tured. Such cars for obvious reasons
always decrease In value quickly after
the company which manufactured
them dies."

"It has done more than all the gifts of Impulsive charity
to foster a sense of human brotherhood and of common
Interests. It has done more than all repressive legislation
to destroy the gambling spirit. It is impossible to conceive
of our civilization In its full vigor and progressive power
without this principle which unites the fundamental law
of practical economy, that he best serves humanity who
best serves himself, with the golden rule of religion,

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair
When you wash your hair, bo care
ful what you use. Moat 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
mul3ifled cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can tret this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family fur months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub It in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and Is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to
handle. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particlo of dust, dirt and
dandruff.

whereas I used to wako up so worn
