I GERMAN PEOPLE
TIRE OF WAR
AND VANT PEACE
Professor Nlcolaf Tells o Con
ditions Existing in Germany,
' Where Crime Goes
Unrestrained.
Copenhagon, June 24. The Ger
man soldier generally are tired of
the war, but the patience of the peo
ple as whole, especially the middle
classes, is marvelous in view ol the
prevalent unfavorable conditions,
said Prof. G. F.' N. Nicolai, former
orofessor of physiology at the Unt
versity of Berlin when questioned to
day regarding conditions in Uermany
Professor Nicolai, was one of the
, men who escaped from Germany last
week in airplanes, landing in Den
mark.
"In ' official circles,"." continued
Professor Nicolai, "the war is ex
pected to last a long time yet, but
among the people the opinion is ex
pressed by many that the present
offensive on the westerri front will
be decisive. While the people sen
' erally are patient, at the same time
they are anxious tor peace, the pro
feasor declared.
Food Conditions' Bad.
. "Food conditions in the empire are
extremely bad, Professor Nicolai re
ports. As arainst the disaoooint
ment from the failure of the Ukraine
supplies to come up to expectations,
however, tome encouragement- had
been received from the recent rains,
, which it was hoped, would result in
tlit production of better crops at
some than last year.
"Nothing . appears in ' the German
Baoera.'! the orofessor stated, "re
garding the many effective enemy air
raws upon oermari cities.
Crime ' on Increase.
.Owing to the scarcity of all kinds
of commodities, robberies and bur
glaries have greatly increased, and
even in the first class hotels the
guests do not venture to leave their
clothing or sh6es outside their doors
tor cleaning. As for soap, one finds
it necessary to . keep it in one's
pockets.
"Although taxes are constantly in
creasing, the payment of the interest
on the war loans u not covered, and
it u expected that in future only 2
per cent ot tne interest on the 5 per
' cent loans will be' disbursed, the re
mainder being added to the princi
pal."' .. ' ,

other measures are beginning to place
at General Foch's disposal enough re
serves to enable, him to strike hard
at any weakened point, but the trans
portation of a sufficient force to offset
the Ita'ian victory must' necessarily
be slow. : :
1 Secretary Baker pointed out that the
Italians took full advantage of the
rise of the Piave behind the enemy.
- -Indications are that the flower of
the Austrian army has been virtually
nnimatea ana tne Italians are driv
ing home their victory relentlessly.
Every day means further disorganiza
tion among the Austrians. At the
present rate, German reinforcements
must, arrive quickly and in force,
many officers believe, unless the Aus
trian war machine js to be crippled at
least for months to come.
Food Riott Serious.
Meanwhile official reports show .the
growing seriousness of food riots in
Austria. - The people apparently are
in no condition to stand a great mili
tary reverse. Immediate German ac
tion to support her ally seems abso
lutely necessary in the view of officials
here, unless the backdoor to Berlin
itself is to be left unguarded. :
There have been many .signs re
cently that General Foeh was rapidly
getting into shape a strong reserve
iorce. The employment of the Am
erican and Italian divisions has served
to release French troops for rest' and
rehabilitation. '
There are indications also that the
enact of the British man power leeia
lation is being felt at the front The
divisions which suffered severely in
the German assaults apparently have
been out of the line for some time.'
The recent successful resistance of
the Italians near Rheims was in po-
. stttons tormeriy field py these British
units.
Where Experts Differ. '
Whether General Foch is prepared
io taxe advantage ot the diversion
caused by the Austrian disaster can.
not be foretold. Some observers here,
including Italian officials, believe that
the situation on the Italian front is
so grave for the Germans that thev
would.be compelled to transfer their
main operations to that theater. leav
ins? only defensive forces in the west
some officials, here, however, ex
pect the Germans to hit, hard in France
in order, to cover whatever other
steps they are compelled to take for
the relief of Austria. Repeated blows
along the allied front, it ia argued,
wouia t,ena to keep ueneral Foch
from inaugurating an inter-allied of-
i tensive in Italy and might impede
; plans, for a great counter vdrive in
! rrance. . , A- ' y .
i The accelerated movement of Am-
j erican troops to France is going
i ahead without i confusion. There is
certainty in the minds of high officials
that in excess of 1,000,000 men will
t have been shipped before July 1. Or-
f iginally it was not hoped to reach this
i figure, but the shipping obtained from
Great Britaint has proved sufficient
jj to increase the program. ,

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair
If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsi
f ied cocoanut oil (which is pure and
entirely greaseless) is much better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for shampoo
ing, as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten ybur hair with wa
ter and rub it in. One or two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance 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 quick
ly 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. It is very
cheap, and a few ounces ia enough to
last everyone in the family for
months. Adv.
