Revives Crisis.
Buenos Aires Argentina March 38.
Argentina is 'on the eve of another
diplomatic crisis with Germany more
critical than any of the former ones
This Is the general opinion In politi-
cal circles and Is based on the torpe-
doing of the Argentine steamer Mln-
istro Irriendo In the Mediterranean
on January St.
The chief engineer of the steamer
who has arrived here has made public
a statement he save to the Argentine
embassy In Madrid showing thnt the
vessel was torpedoed. He says that he
gave two pieces of the torpedo to the
captain of the French cruiser which
picked up the survivors from the
steamer The Argentine ambassador
at Madrid has been called home and
is expected to arrive this week. It is
believed his coming is In connection
with the attack on the Mlnlstro
Irriendo.
It Is believed that if it la shown the
steamer was torpedoed the govern-
ment will have little choice but te
break off diplomatic relations in view
of past exchanges on submarine war-
fare. The crisis is expected to reach
a climax immediately after the Easter
holidays.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair
When you wash your hair be care-
ful what you use. Most 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
mulslfied cocoannt oil. for thus ts
pure and entirely greaseless. Ifs very
cheap and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
Ton can get this at any drag store
and a few onnres will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with wa-
ter and rub It In. about a teaspoon -ful
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
brteht. fluffy wavr and easy to han
dle. Besides It loosens and takes
out every particle of dust dirt and

PLANS HEIST
German Prince Uncovers
More of Kaiser's Secret
Diplomacy.
Stockholm Sweden March IS. An.
glo-German negotiations concerning
the Berlin-Bagdad railway and Ger-
man naval and commercial Jealousy of
Great Britain are touched upon in
further sections of tbe personal mem-
orandum written by prince Llehnows-
ky German ambassador to London at
the outbreak of the war. Excerpts
from the memorandum are being pub-
lished by tbe Politiken and already
have brought the prince into- dlsf.ivor
in German officialdom because of his
frank statement on German diplomacy
which he did not Intend to be made
public.
Prince Lichnowsky. after describing
efforts to secure a better understand-
ing between Germany and England in
the negotiations over the Anglo-German
treaty refers to the socalled
Bagdad railway treaty. This aimed
in fact at a division of Asia Minor
into spheres of Interest although the
prince writes that this expression was
carefully avoided In consideration of
the rights of the Sultan of Turkey.
DivfeieB of Interest.
Sir Edward Grey. then British for-
eign secretary declared repeatedly
that there was no agreement between
England and France aiming at a di-
vision of Asia Minor. Tbe greatest
concession that Sir Edward made to
prince Lichnowsky personally. It is
declared was for the continuation of
the railway line to Basra By this
treaty the whole of Mesopotamia up
to Basra became a German sons of In-
terest by which all British rlrhtf and
the question of sMnptng on the Tigris
were left untouched.
The British economic territories the
prince adds included the enasts of the
Persian gulf and the Smyrna-A den
railway. The French territory was
Syria and tbe Russian Armenia. Had
the treaty been concluded and pub-
lished he continued ad aereement
would have been reached with Kn?-
land which would have finally ended
all doubt of the possibility of Anglo-
German cooperation.
Referring to the difficult question
of German naval activity prince
Lichnowsky says it was never judeed
quite correctly. The creation of a
mighty fleet on the shore o; the North
sea and the simultaneous development
of tbe continent's most Important mil-
itary power Into a iriost imnortsnr na-
val nower. be declares had at least to
be recognised by Great Britain as un
comfortable.
Britain Had to Bond.
To maintain the necessary lead and
to preserve the supremacy of the seas
which Great Britain must have in or
der not to go down the prince adds
she had to undertake preparations and
expenses which weighed heavily on
tne taxpayers -rne tnreat against
British world position was that the
German poller permitted the possl-
Tillltv nr - nr lt iiAVlnnmAnf in u.
near. Tnls nossibtlitv. the Drmce as-1
serts was obviously near durine the
Moroccan crisis ana tne Bosnian
question.
The powers aaa oecoroe reconciiea
to the German fleet in Its definite
strength. Obviously It was not wel-
come to Great Britain and. the prince
declares constituted one of the mo-
tive! but neither the only nor most
important motive for England's join
ing nanas witn Kussia ann r ranee.
DUnl Mention Reman Fleet.
' On account of the German fleet
alone prince Lichnowsky savs. Great
Britain would have drawn the sword
as little as on account of German
trade "which It is pretended called
forth her Jealousy and finally bmucrht
about war." From the bee-Inning.
prlnejs Lichnowsky says he adopted
the standpoint that in spite of the
fleet It wonld be noralble to come to a
friendly underspending and rapproach-
ment if the Germans did rot orooose
new votes of credit and above all. If
the Germans did carry out an tndla-
pntable peace policy.
The prince adds that he avoided all
mention of the German fleet and that
never a word was uttered concerning
It by himself and foreign secretary
Grey.
