MIXE SWEEPER SUNK By Associated Press • Paris, July 12.—The French mine sweeper Jupiter struck a mine in the British channel Tuesday and sank. Eeleven lives were lost. England Wonders if Americans Will Marry Women Across the Sea Liverpo6l—Speculating editorially on whether the men of the American army will marry English wives to any appreciable extent. The Liver pool Post says: "Will American men marry here We wonder if the coming of the American army will have any effect upon the matrimonial prospects of our girls. For some reason, the men of the New World have hither to never shown any great eagerness to take brides from the Old, and even the theory that this is because it has not been the way of the Amer ican man to cross the Atlantic though it is consoling to our national vanity, does not work. For it is noticeable that the Canadians, who have abounded in our midst during the past three years, are not nearly as fond of marrying into this country as are, for example, Australians. "Few of the young men from Aus tralia seem to want to return homo without English brides, but the Can adians either are married when they come or show a disposition to remain single. "Still, there is no need for the girls to despair yet, and if some of them do not spend their lives as matrons in the United States we shall be surprised. Certainly It will not be their fault, as they show a most amiable desire to like any of the American naval and military and medical men they have seen, al though In some ways the fellow citi zens of President Wilson are so curiously unlike our own men." Guests Fail to Arrive; Waiter Hears Recital Chicago.—"Art for art's sake," was the only excuse for a morning re cital at the Congress Hotel one day last week. The hour was 10 o'clock; scene, the greenroom, with chairs ar ranged in rows to accommodate a goodly audience, flowers decking the piano, soft music furnished by two musicians, two boys in daper uniforms to usher and collect tickets. Ten o'clock came and went, but it was like the marriage feast in the Bible, for not a guest arrived. The assistant head waiter dropped In to be sure that everything was going along nicely. He chatted with the artists while another half hour passed, and not a single unit of the anticipated audience presented itself. SEVEN EGGS IX POl'R DAYS Luverne, Minn.—C. H.

Watts, dean of the school of agriculture of the Pennsylvania State College, has sent out a ringing call for increased food production to all graduates and students in his department. He re fers to the 4,000 men and women who have ben scientifically trained in farming as "the agricultural guard of Penn State," and he urges them to justify the State's invest ment! n their education by loyal and efficient service at this time. Dean Watts beligves the future holds unprecedented opportunity for agriculturally trained men of the right type. He foresees, among oth er developments, crop adjustments to equalize the high cost of certain livestock feeds, conservation of hu man energy, elimination of waste through better livestock breeding, increased crop yields, improved soil fertility, the uplift of rural life through county farm bureaus, and a marked growth in atendance at agricultural colleges. Dean Watts said: "About 705 students have com pleted four-year courses in agricul ture at the Pennsylvania State Col lege; 110 have completed the two year course; 1,364 have taken the winter courses, and at present there are 769 students enrolled in the four-year courses and 164 in the two-year course making a total of 4,102." Anti-Jap Feeling Said Not to Be Very Strong Tokio That the ant!-Japanese sentiment in the United States is not so strong as is believed in Japan is the opinion of Dr. Waichiro Okada, Professor of Medicine at the Imperial University, who recently re turned from a trip to America. Tho professor said that the Japanese were welcomed in the United States generally speaking. It was true that among the labor element in the West the situation was different, but he found that the majority of the American people do not subscribe to the anti-Japanese agitation in Western states. He added that some of the American physi cians were even suggesting medical co-operation between American and Japanese because Americans were recognizing that the Japanese pos sessed certain excellent qualities in medical science. Nickname in British Army Is Index to Popularity Behind the British Lines in —Popularity is the forerunner of a nickname in the British army. Soldiers still think of Lord Rob erts as "Bobs" and of Kitchener al ways as "K," or "K. of K." Sir Douglas Haig to the British private is never anything but "D. H." Sir William Robertson, the chief of the staff, is always "Wullie." General Sir Hobert Whigham's army name is "Wigwam." General Sir Hubert Gough is "Goffy," and General Alien by fs "The Bull." No one ver thinks of General Rawlinson except as "Billy." General Maude 'rejoices in the title. "The Strafer."

BELGIANS KILLED OFF BY TORTURE Continued From First Page suppressed altogether and even the other meager repasts were reduced for those who refused to work for the Germans. "Besides hunger the principal measure resorted to in order to bring the deported men to submission were the "supplice of the post." Stoutly fettered to posts, the men are ex posed to heat, or cold, according to the season, for days together during which the food rations are reduced systmatically until tl\ey reach the proportions of a half ration only for two days' subsistence. Resort to Torture "Another cruelty practised on the deported to force them to work is the 'supplice of the tank' or a severe application of the Turkish bith. Sev eral witnesses have confirmed this fact, among them the son af a manu facturer of the region of Antwerp, who with several of his comrades in camp was shut up in a small room heated to a very high temperature. There was only room in the -jplace for them to stand erect and so crowded they were scarcely able to turn. They were left there twenty four hours. Then they were led to a factory in the neighborhood where they were asked if tl\ey would go to work: Upon their refusal, they were taken to a field under military escort divested of their overcoats, shoes, scarfs and hats or caps and exposed In a snowstorm an entire day and an entire night, with nothing to eat or drink and under the absolute pro hibition to eat or drink and under the absolute prohibition to make the slightest movemeht. Some of them lost consciousness after a few hours of this exposure and all of them were taken to the hospital the following day." Face Macliineguns The son of a manufacturer of Antwerp, a very stout, robust fellow at the time of the deportation, was sent home a physical wreck a short time afterwards. A number of witnesses call atten tion to the fact that frequently groups of deported men have been the subject of a simulated execution sometimes by a firing squad and sometimes by machine guns, in order to overcome their resistance and im press their comrades. There is also another means of constraint used upon the deported in the form of punishment camps, where the regime is still more severe than in the other internment camps and where the deported are forced to work in the marshes often in most excessive cold weather, dressed in nothing but trousers, shirt and wood en shoes, without food during an entire day. Corporal Punishment Some of the deported are sent to agricultural centers where, according to the story of a man from Verver iers who escaped from Germany, most of the victims return so en feebled that it is necessary for them to be transported to the station in carts. Corporal punishment, the form of which is left to the discretion of the jailers, is frequently employed, such as blows with the butt of a rifle, forced running for periods up to two hours without stopping under men ace of the bayonet, in addition to the practice of tying men to the post. Dcathrate High From all the evidence, it appears that the mortality among men sub jected to these different forms of mistreatment is alarmlug. The death of a great many of the deported men is known in the occupied regions of Belgium. Evidence regarding the camp of Solteu shows that the men are bad ly lodged, underfed, particularly in the working detachments, illy cloth ed, brutalized, sequestered, deprived of all diversion and distraction and also refused any kind of spiritual consolation. At this camp at the end of Feb ruary this year there were eighty cases in the Infirmary shed, most of them suffering from general debility, a hundred in the other sheds, among these a considerable number of men affected with dysentery, while in the hospital there were more than 200 very serious cases coming from the different detachments and from the camps. In four months after the creation of the camp in November, 1916, the deaths numbered 199. Physical Wrecks Information received from the dif ferent parts of occupied Belgium confirm the statements regarding the physical condition of the deported who have been sent back to their homes. They are for the most part physically ruined. A large propor tion of them have contracted Incur able diseases from which they die shortly after returning home.

Use Cocoanut Oil For Washing Hair If you want to keep your halt 7n good condition, be careful wfcat you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, maKes the hair brit tle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsifled cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, 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 abund ance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thor oughly. The lather rinses out easily, and % moves every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and It leaves it tine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.—Advertisement. 13
