(By Associated Press.) -The council of five, con sisting; of the foreign ministers of France, Great Britain and Italy and President Wilson and Baron Ma kino, met today with the drafting committee and discussed the fprm of the treaty. The ministers also considered the revision of the Mo roccan treaties necessary to elimi nate the German interests. A new commission was appointed today to consider the Kiel canal. It consists of the present commis sion on water ways and additional naval experts of the entente. All the old , commissions have completed their reports, except that on Poland, which is undoubtedly de layed because of the uncertainty of the eastern boundary of Germany. Drafting of the final form of the peace treaty is proceeding rapidly in order to have it ready for pre sentation to the German delegates when they arrive at Versailles a week hence. The document, as framed, begins with an introduction in the form of a protocol, setting forth the complete list of bellig erent powers taking part in the war and now making peace, with the designation of "plenipotentiaries of each country and with their power to sign. Priority Given to League. Then comes a declaration of im pressive brevity, not exceeding 30 words, stating that on the conclu sion of the treaty and the exchange of ratifications, the war shall come to an end. ' Following upon the declaration of peace, the present intention of the peace delegates is to have the cove nant of the league of ' nations oc cupy the place of honor in the treaty and to be the firs? subject treated in detail. It will thus take the priority it had in the program of the peace conference. Then in succession will follow the military, naval and aerial terms, re parations, responsibilities, the Rhine frontier, the Sarre region, Alsace Lorraine, Poland, the status of Dan zig as an international port, Ger many's Schleswig-Holstein frontier and a large number of special sub jects, including the labor convention adopted at the last plenary session of the conference; international ports and waterways and extended and financial provisions not directly connected with reparations. The textual form of all these sub divisions has been completed, so that the work at present going on is chieflv fittiner together the carts into1 a homeogeneous whole. This is being done by international exports representing the five great powers. Their work is largely formal as the council of four and the commissions have adopted the. .language of the various parts now being fitted to them. Treaty Exceeds 70,000 Words. It is estimated that the treaty as a whole will exceed u,wu words, or the contents of a large, closely printed volume. The text is being prepared in French and English, and as a means of expediting action, a German text may be prepared, though it is foreseen that the Ger man plenipotentiaries may ask for a considerable time to peruse a document of such magnitude. Intention to form a permanent international commission on aerial navigation to act as a clearing house on questions of air navigation be tween states was shown by an offi cial report issued today on the con clusions of the commission on aerial navigation. Wilson Gives Hearings. President Wilson devoted most of the day to appointments, be ginning at 10 o'clock with the Chinese peace delegation and end ing after S o'clock with Frank P. Walsh, a member of the delegation sent by Irish societies in America to plead the cause of Ireland. The program ' for the day had been planned carefully, the president receiving some one every IS minutes. Among those received was a trench delegation which wanted to see the president about the left bank of the Rhine; tne foreign minister ot Swit zerland, a delegate from Chaldea, two American women labor leaders, the patriarch of Constantinople, Premier Bratino of Roumania, Pre mier Pachitch of Serbia, and the Portuguese minister of foreign af fairs who desired to discuss the problems of their countries. vViscount Cmnda, of the Japanese delegation, arranged today for hi? appearance before the council cf four Saturday on the Kiao-Chau question with a view to an adjust ment with China which shall be in corporated in the peace treaty. The American delegates believe that an accord will be reached, whereby China will ultimately control Kiao Chau, with suitable recognition of Japan's efforts. A plenary session of the peace conference will occupy two days next week, Wednesday and Thurs day, to pass upon a number of re maining details before the meeting witfTthe Germans. D. A. R. Refuse to Cut Representation of the Chapters at Meetings Washington, April 17. The na tional society, Daughters of the American Revolution, refused to day to cut down chapter represen tation at the annual meetings, and in its efforts to revise theonsti tution, left the attendance section precisely where it stood 28 years ago. By overwhelming vote the daugh ters adopted in amended form the revised draft of the constitution as submitted by a committee of which Mrs. Henry B.

' and the bullet went through my bpdy," Coleman said. "The bullet entered above the right hip and emerged through the abdomen. ', Exhibits Wound and Coat. Coleman showed the court where the bullet entered above the right hip and emerged through the abdo tnen. A uniform coat bearing a bullet hole was offered in evidence. "The soldier then testified that af ter lie was shot lie sank to the ground and exclaimed, "I didn't think that you would shoot me." He quoted Knudtson as replying,' iou aian t, aid your . ,-- "When had you expected to re turn to camp?" asked Attorney Ready. . "The next day." , '"Were you endeavoring to escape from the officer?" - . "No, sir.", . - ; ''Why did you object to the offi cer?" "I was afraid that he was going to smash me over the head with the gun." "How close was he standing when he fired the shot?" ''Right -at my side; I could feel the gun." "When Knudtson said. 'I'll knock your block off, had you said any thing to him?" 1 "I did not resist going with him." Soldier Is Cross-Examined. Cross-examination, by Attorney Fleharty failed to develop anything materially new. Coleman maintained that fronj the time Knudston took hold of him until the shot was fired, the only remonstrance he uttered to the officer was that his breath, was giving out. , "Where did you hit Knudtson?" asked Attorney Fleharty. I "On his jaw, with my left hand." Coleman added that when Knudt son took hold of his arm he went right along, but was in fear because of Knudtson's threats and actions. He added that he resented slan der upon his mother in the language Knudtson testified that he had been detailed by Captain Dunn to go with Detectives Jensen to get Cole man at 1919 Dodge street. Coleman, he testified, saw them and started to get away, whereupon Knudtson told him to halt. Shot into Air. "I shot into the air," he said, "and then Coleman said I was one of those hard-boiled dicks. He tried to pull away from me, so I pulled him along by the arm. He grabbed me by a wrist, and then I asked a citizen to help me, but he only looked at me and grinned." "Did vou intend to kill Coleman?" asked AttorneyFleharty. I did not. "When the gun went off, what happened?" ' tie told me that 1 htu shot a sol dier and I told him that it was his own fault" "If you . didn't intend to shoot Coleman, what did you have your gun out for?" asked Attorney Ready. I intended to shoot him in the leg." Knudtson replied. You succeeded in getting him that far, didn't you?"

According to the testimony, Jen sen had been detailed to.helu Knudt son make the arrest, but hi. lost his bearings and did 'not reinforce KntHtson when needed, according to the detective's testimony. Deputy County Attorney Ready stressed his contention that the po lice took it for granted that Cole man was a' deserter, instead of a soldier who , was absent without leave. He also pointed out that even had' Coleman been a deserter, the law does not confer upon a civil officer the authority to shoot a per? son supposed to bo a deserter. . Coleman testified he was 22 years old and weighed 13S pounds at the time of the shooting. Knudtson said he was 36 years old, had served in the army four years, arid in the police department five years. He has a wife and three children. He has been suspended from the de tective department, pending the hearing of charges which have been filed with the city council. Arrested March 16. Detective Lloyd Toland testified that he arrested Coleman on March 16 when the soldier was released to his uncle, Mr. Flinn, who said he would take the boy back to Camp Dodge. Toland testified that he received the "tip" about Cole man from a returned soldier, who, he said, lived at 1919 Dodge street, which was Coleman s address. "Do you know whether this re turned soldier named Heddick had been 'going with the same girl that Coleman was going with?" asked Attorney Ready. "I don't know."" . "Vou have taken quite an inter est in this case for the defense, haven't you?" "1 have only done what I was told to do by Captain Dunn." "You have been over to Council Bluffs several times, haven't you?" "Only once." Wayne E. Sawtelt, 720 North Twenty-eighth avenue, testified that his attention was directed to the detective and soldier when they were walking along Twentieth street, exchanging passes and blows. "When I heard the shot Coleman was standing still, facing Knudtson." Sawtell, testified. "I saw Coleman sink and heard him say that he had been shot. Mrs.. D. , A.

Dandruff Surely Destroys The Hair Girhs if you want plenty of thick, beautiful,' glossy silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't. It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it en tirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itch ing and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and ftfur ounces is all you will need, no mat ter how much dandruff you have. This simole remedy never fails.
