' You reckless men and women who are pestered "with corns and who have at least once a week invited an awful death from lockjaw or blood poison are now told by a Cincinnati authority "to use a drug called freezone, which the moment a few drops are applied to any oorn or callus the soreness is re lieved and soon the entire corn or cal lus, root and alTi lifts off with the fin gers. r Freezone dries the moment it is ap plied, and simply shrivels the corn or cal lus without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue or ekin. A small bottle of freezone will cost very iittle at any of the drug stores, but will posi- ttively rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or hardened callus. If your druggist hasn't any freezone he can get it at any wholesale drug house for you, JAKES OFF DANDRUFF, HAIR STOPSfALLING Save your Hair!

NEWSREVIEVOF THE PAST WEEK Germans Divert Their Attack to Flanders, Again Failing to Break Through. BLOODY FIGHT AT GIVEIICHY Kaiser Seeks to Annihilate British Army Americans Now In Great Battle Premier Lloyd George Proposes Conscription for Ireland. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. "They shall not pass." Not glossing over the Increasing seriousness of the German offensive on the west front, not making vain boasts, but with unfaltering courage and dogge.d determination, all the allies, French, British, Americans and Portuguese, In France and Belgium, have adopted the -Verdun slogan and refuse to let the. Huns break through their line,- Weary and battered, drenched -with gas and explosive shell, pushed" back here and there by power ful attacks of massed infantry, greatly outnumbered all along the line, they cling, as long as possible to every de fnslv position and exact a terrible price for every yard of terrain they give up. Failing to push his way through to Amiens, the kaiser last week turned his v attention to Flanders, and after three days of Intensive bombardment attacked the British on a 25 mile front Of which Armentleres was the center. In the three days of fierce infantry fighting that followed the Huns shoved back the British and Portuguese line some five miles between Armentleres and Givenchy, and three miles at the north of the former city. On Thursday the British retired from Armentleres, which is of little importance-as a strat egic point and is now but a heap of ruins. They also had abandoned sev eral villages but still dominated the .battlefield from Messines ridge -on the north and Givenchy on the south. The latter place was the scene of the blood iest fighting, being taken and retaken several times. The British were out numbered there more than four to one, but defended it splendidly and retain ed ' possession of the town, which is situated on high ground. The losses of the Germans here as well as elsewhere were very heavy, and a considerable number of them were captured. JThough the immediate object of the Germans in this sector apparently is to take Bethune, an important center of British operations, and then by a wheeling movement push on to the Eng lish channel, their greater purpose, ac cording to prisoners and captured doc uments, is nothing less than to annihi late the British army. It Is expected that the kaiser will direct his full strength to the accomplishment of this aim and that the battle in Flanders will be considerably extended to the "north and continued with desperation. fa ' " ; -On the southern front of -the Ger man salienTthe French, at the begin ning of the week, withdrew to the west bank of the Aiyette river in the Coucy region, thereby rectifying their lines and leaving to the Germans the marsh es of the Oise. Since then the enemy have been greatly harrassed by the French outposts and have been unable, to carry. on any operations In the swampy ground. A little .further to the west Chauny has been the center of furious struggles but up to the time of writing the French had repulsed . every attack, and were in possession of. the town and the nearby cemetery. For the'pjresent, at least, Amiens seems to be safe for, though the artil lery activity in that sector has been continuous and violent, infantry- oper ations almost ceased during the week, tsa - As has been said.the allies do not seek to minimize thje menace in the successes, the Huns have gained, but their commanders are as confident aa ever that the kaiser cannot accomplish ills ' alms, and the men in the. rankn have no other thought than -victory. The allies have ample supplies of guns and ammunition, but what tUey must have is more men, and that - quickly. England.. Is sending troops across the channel with speed not heretofore equalled, and America's "fighters are being hurried over as fast as possible in response to the call. Secretary of War,Baker, who is still In France, has learned his lesson, and it Is understood he is urging the greatest expedition in getting our army across. Day by day the American troops are being hurried up to the fighting' front and brigaded with the British and French, who greet -their arrival with cheers. That hey are now taking an active part in the great battle Is evi denced by the lengthening casualty lists sent over by General Pershing. , In their own sector the Americans continue to do fine work. On Wednes day, just northwest of Toul, they were subject to the strongest attack the Ger mans had made In that region, after three days' heavy shelling. The Yan kees not only broke up the, advancing ranks by their artillery fire, but promptly emerged from their shelters and chased the shatteredHun troops from the field. fa ' The German press has ceased ta sneer at American participation In the warfare and admits that this country will be a great factor In determining the result and that it is preparing .for a long conflict. The turn events jhave taken and President Wilson's power ful speech in Baltimore have convinced the Germans that the result" of the war is to be determined by force of arms. Count Czernln, Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, finds, his position shaken since Premier Clemenceau dis proved his assertions concerning peace talks, and the Czech opposition to him is increasing. In Germany there is growing dissatisfaction with Chancel lor Von Hertling and Foreign Secre tary Yon Kuehlmann, and there Is a movement to make Dr. Von Helfferieh imperial chancellor. Germany's forces in Russia, after capturing Kharkov, proceeded 130 miles further to the northwest and occupied j Lgov. They then sent an ultimatum ! demanding the surrender of Kursk, capital of the government of that name, but the local soviet decided to resist. The Germans also are, continuing their operations In Finland, in aid of the government and the White guard, and have compelled Russia to remove or disarm Russian warships in Finnish waters. te The bolshevlki government of Russia was concerned mostly last week with the landing .of Japanese troops in" Vladivostok. The press expressed the j fear that this-was the first step In the : occupation of Siberia, and the commis- j sioners demanded that the Japanese depart, threatening otherwise to de clare war. If the Japanese really are on conquest bent, they would ask noth ing Detter than that, but America and j ureat 5main proDaDiy stana in rne way for they do not wish to have Rus sia throw herself utterly into the hands of the Germans. Indeed,, the foreign consuls at Vladivostok promised the lo cal authorities the troops would be withdrawn soon. r Delayed dispatches from Harbin said American marines also had been land ed at Vladivostok and were in "control of the docks, while the Japanese were guarding-the railway and ammunition depots. The diet of Bessarabia, the Russian provincewhich borders Roumania on the east, Is reported to have voted in favor Qf union with: Roumania. Uk raine has signed an agreement-to fur nish to the central powers about 63, 000,000 pounds of foodstuffs and deliv eries of grain already have begun. - " fa ' . George Cjeel, chairman of the com mittee on public Information, brought a storm about his head" by saying, in a public address, that he would thank God to his dying day that the United States was unprepared when it went to war, because otherwise it would have been false to its traditions and policy. In both houses of congress he was de nounced bitterly, the senate seemingly overlooking the fact that only, a few days previously It had voted to make rthat state of unpreparedness Tperinan .ent by refusing to vote for universal :toilitary service. Creel made his out- to take .f roin the British. 2 General Empey speaking for the Liberty loan ' rageous statement when acting as spokesman of the administration at a meeting of Liberty loan lecturers, and his dismissal from government employ was demanded by the Indignant con gressmen. " -' fa On Wednesday the senate passed the amendment to the espionage bill, mak ing it the most drastic anti-sedition measure ever proposed in this country. It is designed to expedite punishment for disloyal acts and utterances, but was changed to permit of Just critic Ism with good motives. Fear of antag onizing loyal citizens of German de scent caused the elimination of a clause barring 'from the mails publications In the German language. fa The seliate had another exciting de bate over the conference report on the bill for punishing sabotage and wilful destruction of war material. As re ported, the measure provided that -it should not be construed as making It unlawful for employees to agree to gether to strike or refuse to work for the purpose of securing better wages or working conditions. Senator Un derwood and others strongly criticised any such government indorsements of strikes during wartime. Next day the senate rejected the conference report by a vote of 34 to. 25. At the same time Samuel Gompers was warning congressmen-not to commit the "devil try and folly" of passing the proposed law to prohibit' strikes and? lockouts. Too many ofthe laboring men of the country fail to recognize the fact that when they are working for the gov ernment on war tasks they are doubly working for themselves. fa Premier Lloyd George again has staked the political existence of him self and his cabinet on one measure, the new. man power bill which includes the conscription of , all men between the ages of IS and 50 years, and which furthermore extends, conscription to Ireland. . The latter feature of course put the Irish Nationalist members In a rage at once and the premier was warned that any attempt to enforce the draft in Ireland would result in civil war; tnat it would takft an army to raise a regiment. He stood firm, how ever, declaring the time had come when Ireland must be treated like the rest of Great Britain in the matter of mil itary service, and that if the bill was defeated his government would give way to another. TIio measure passed its preliminary readings by a largo majority, but the press and people of England are decidedly anxious about its success should it become law. E Submarine sinkings as . reported by the British 'admiralty showecLa great falling off In number, only six .vessels being listed as lost, but both here and abroad there is a feeling that this presages a concerted movement of the U-boat against the transports that are now carrying American troops to France In great numbers. However, the convoy system has been so .per fected and so many .warships are avail able for it that no grave apprehension Is felt for the safety of those trans ports. . - fa - The Dutch have quieted down con cerning the seizure of their vessels by America and Great British, but Minis ter Phillips has left Washington" for home, ostensibly on account of 111 health. . - President Wilson last week' com mandeered the Clyde, Mallory, Mer chants and Miners and Southern steamship lines and turned them over to Director General McAdoo. This added 63 coastwise vessels to the '48 already tinder government manage ment. Three. Russian. ships, in a Pa cific port also were taken-over by the shipping board. , --fa-- General Allenby's forces in Palestine are still pushing forward north of Jerusalem, despite stubborn-resistance by the Turks, who have fceen re-enforced by German troops. In Berlin there is a belief that the. Holy City will be recaptured, but this Ha based on false ideas of the British action in falling back after cuttingthe railway at Es Salt. - . : -fa ' V... J.
