Among the foreign diplomats here the effect of a break between the United States and Germany is a topic of wide interest. The consensus of opinion seems to be that diplomatic relations between the United State and the allies of Germany may need not necessarily be affected. In regard to Austria, however, much is considered to depend upon the answer made by the Vienna government to the Ameri can inquiry regarding the attack upon the Russian bark Imperator, carrying two American citizens, one of whom was wounded by shrapnel fire. Am bassador Penfield, was directed to make the inquiry early this week. No reply liad been received today and he may toon be instructed to renew the in quiry. Aontrlfl, Too, Concerned.

Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. ' It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every' particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky. bright. lustrous, (fluffy and easy to manage.
