TO PROBE GERMAN VESSEL HALTED BY SHOTS AS SHE WAS LEAVING PORTO RICO Washington, March 22.—The Ham burg-American liner Odenwald, stopped from leaving San Juan, Porto Rico, yesterday by shots across her bow, is being held under the recent congress ional resolution empowering the Presi dent to prevent supplies going from American ports to ships of the Euro pean belligerents at sea. Secretary Garrison is making a thorough investi gation of the Odenwald case in connec tion with Treasury Department officials and the White House. Under the resolution the President was authorized to direct collectors of customs under the jurisdiction of the United States to withhold clearance from any vessel which he had reason able cause to believe to be about to carry supplies to any warship of a bel ligerent nation. Officiate would not .dis close what grounds they had for be lieving that the Odenwald came under the terms of the resolution. This report was received to-day from Lieut. Uol onel Burnham, commanding the Porto Ricau regiment: '' Ham'burg-American commercial steamer Odenwald attempted to leave this port about 3 this afternoon, (March 21), without clearance papers. At request of collector of customs to prevent departure and in Compliance with instructions in your telegram March 19, warning shots were fired with machine guns and one shot across her bows with five inch rifle from El Morro. Ship then came to anchor un der El Morro. None was injured. Ship returned to her anchorage in the har bor. In presence of collector of cus toms March 19, I personally informed and warned German consul and com mander of Odenwaid that force would be ueed if necessary to prevent the vessel leaving without clearance."

HARRISBtTRG STAR-INDEPENDENT, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 22, 1915 HOFTH FOSTSWASAWFDL Frightful Disaster to Allied Fleet in Dar danelles a Correspondent LAND BATTERIES SANK THE SHIPS Attack of Modern Marine Artillery Upon Strong Land Forts Presented An Interesting and Terrifying Spec tacle—Turk Marksmanship Good 'Berlin, March 22, via London, 11.33 A. M.—The correspondent at Constan tinople of the Wolff Bureau telegraphed to-day a description'of the fighting at the Dardanelles on Thursday, iXlarch 18, in which t'he French battleship Bouvet and two British battleships were sent to the bottom. There follows an abridgment, of the correspondent's story of this en gagement. The efforts of tJj. allies to force tlie straits of the Dardanelles reached their climax in uu artillery duj>l on 'ihurs day, March 18, which lasted seven hours. The entire atmosphere around the Turkish forts was darkened by clouds of smoke from exploding shells and quantities of earth thrown into tlie air'bv the projectiles of the Trench and British warships. The earth trembled for miles around. Climax of Engagement The allies entered the straits at 11.30 in the morning and shelled the town of Ohank Kale. Four French and five British warships took part in the beginning. This engagement reached its climax at 1.30 when the fire of the allies was concentrated upon HamiUieii I and t.hc adjacent fortified towns. The attack of modern marine artil-1 lery upon strong land forts presented an j interesting as well as terrifying spec tacle. At times the forts were com pletely enveloped in smoke. At 2.! o'clock the allies changed their tac tical and concentrated their fire upon individual batteries, but it was evident that they found difficulty in getting t'he ranges. Many of their shells fell short, casting up pillars of water, or went over the forts to explode in tlifc town. Sinking of the Bouvet At 3.15 when the bombardment was at its hottest, the French battleship liouvet. was seen to be sinking at the stern. A moment later her bows swung clear of the water and she was going down. Roaring cheers from the Turk ish garrisons and forts greeted this sight. Torpedo boats and other craft of the allies hurried to the rescue but they were successful in saving only a few men. Beside having been struck by a mine the Bouvet was severely damaged above the water line by shell fire. One projectile struck her forward deck. A ma9t also was shot away and hung overboard. It could be seen that the Bouvet when she sunk was endeavoring to gain the mouth of the straits. This, however, was difficult owing apparent ly to the fact that her machinery bad been damaged. British Vessels Succumb Next Shortly after the sinking of the Boilvet a British ship was struck on the deck squarely amidships and' com pelled to withdraw from the fight. Then another British vessel was badly dam aged and at a quarter before four was seen to retire under a terrificffit.r t . from the Turkish battery. This vessel ran in toward the shore. For a full hour the allies tried to protect her with their guns but it was apparent that she was destined for destruction. Eight effective hits showed the hopelessness of the situation for this vessel. She then withdrew towards the mouth of the Dardanelles which she reached in a few minutes under a hail of shells. The forts continued firing until the al lies were out of range. Turkish Marksmanship Excellent This was the first day when the war ships attacking the Dardanelles kept within range of the Turkish torts for any considerable length of time. The results from them were terrible, owing to the excellent marksmanship from the Turkish barracks. On this day 2,- 000 shells were silencing one shore battery. The result have inspired the Turks with confidence aud they are looking forward to further engage ments with calm assurance. ZEPPELIN RAID ON PARIS SCARES WOMAN TO DEATH Paris, March 22, 5.05 A. IM.—'While no one was killed directly by the Zep pelin bombs which were dropped In Paris and its euvirons early yesterday, they resulted in one death —that of Mine. Charles Pesson, who lived in the Kue Des Dames. The aged woman was so frightened by the explosion of a bomb in that street that she died soon afterward. After Public Prosecutor Lescove and his staff had visited all the places where 'bombs exploded and examined several witnesses he drew up a report to which will be annexed reports made of pre vious airship raids upon the city. A city analyst who spent the day collecting bomibs which did not ex plode and fragments of those which did took them to his laboratory for a cnem ical analysis. Prom an examination he found that most of the missiles dropped were incendiary, containing a mixture of phosphorus tar and 'benzine provided with a lighting contrivance consisting of a wick soaked in petroleum. '•Air Raid on Calais Ineffective Calais, via Paris, March 22, 5.10 A. M.—The third Zeppelin attack on this city timed at almost the precise hour that the aerial raid was made upon Paris early Sunday morning was made ineffective l>ecause of the whirring of the airship motore gave adequate warn ing of their approach. The Zeppelins came from the direction of the sea, but received guch a vigorous 'bombardment from French artillery that they re treated before they reached tiie city. It is supposed here that they intended making another effort to drop bombs in the harbor and on the railroad Junc tion. USE COGOANUT OIL FOR WASHING- HAIR If you want to keep your hair in good condition, the less soap you use the better. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (whick is pure and en tirely greaseless), is much better than soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't pos sibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with i water and rutf it in. One or two j teaspoonfuls will make an abundance i 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 •>> end silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough *n li»st everyone in the family for months. CONFERENCE ACTS ON THE ~ DEATH OF DR.
