This Is the Ruling Given by Secreta- if of State Lansing and Attorney General Gregory Whether to Act on This Advice or Call Extra Ses sion of Congress Will be Determin ed Soon Generally Accepted that Extra Session Will be CaUed Be fore July First Anyhow. . Washington, March 8. Secretary Lansing and Attorney General Greg ory have advised President Wilson that be has full authority to arm American merchant ships against il legal attacks by German submarines. It was to these two officers, the Government's authorities respective ly on International questions and law, that the President referred the contention raised in the Senate that old statutes enacted to authorize merchantment to resist pirates rais ed an insuperable bar to the step he desired to take to meet the subma rine menace. They have reported that the statutes have no application to the present situation. Whether the President will act ImnTediately in accordance with this opinion, or will wait to call a special .session of Congress to pass a resolu tion similar to that killed by a fill buster during the last session was not revealed tonight. Ih wIaw " 9 Vl rt antlAH n t (It a Cam .ate today in revising its rules to pre vent another filibuster, it was thought In some Administration -quarters that the President would immediately call an extra session. One problem Involved is the prob able difficulty over the organization of the next House because of the al most evenly distributed balance of power between the Democrats and .Republicans. A long drawn-out fight, such as has marked the organization of more, than one House, probably would delay action on the armed neu trality question, a contingency which the President is determined to avoid. It Is taken for granted In all quar ters that before July 1 Mr. Wilson -will summon an extra session of Congress. The only question open tonight was whether it will be called immediately. At least a week's no tice is considered imperative, and some members want three weens" no tice because they expect the session vrfll laar a Innir Hmtt Many officials expect a decision by the President, either to call an extra session Immediately, or to arm American merchantmen on his own authority, before the end of the present ween, possiniy tomorrow.

Ful ler details regarding the matter are obtained from Mr. R. B. Bablngton. the original promoter of the move ment and whose untiring efforts se cured the passage of the bill. Mr. Babington has returned home after spending almost three weeks at Ral eigh where he sat up with the legis lators day and night until he secur ed the passage of this bill.

The sum of $7,500 annually is appropriated for main tenance. A committee of five to be appointed by the Governor is to se lect a site.

The place has been made very attractive, and the guests of yesterday were enthusiastic in their admiration of the home and Its surroundings. Trail was played at twelve tables, each table having the name of one of the towns in the county, beginning at Gastonia and ending at Mayworth. After the game little Frederick Smyre, the hand some son of Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Smyre, appeared at the front door. He was clad In blue uniform and drew a child's express wagon in which was a large suit case and a number of f miniature suit cases, all checked to Mayworth.

Miss Boyce on open ing hers found it to be full of linen. .beautiful articles for household and personal use, including an especially beautiful linen luncheon set, the gift of the hostess. Such a lavish dis play of handsome crochet and em broidery and other fine band-work spoke for itself as to the popularity of the bride-elect. When the linen had been seen and admired, a de lightful two-course luncheon was served. Music was rendered during the afternoon on the Edison. About sixty guests enjoyed Mrs. Jones' hos pitality.

LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS Appyy a Few Drops Then Lift Corns or Calluses Off With Fingers No Pain. No humbug! Any corn, whether hard, soft or between the toes, will loosen right up and lift out, without a particle of pain or soreness. This drug is called freeione.and Is a compound of ether discovered by a Cincinnati man. Ask any drug store for a small bottle of freexone, which will cost but a trifle, but is sufficient to rid one's feet of every corn or callus. Put a few drops directly upon any tender, aching corn or callus. In stantly the soreness disappears and shortly' the corn or callus will loosen and can be lifted off with the fingers. This drug freexone doesn't eat out the corns or calluses but shrivels them without even irritating the sur rounding skin. N JTnat think! No nam at all: no soreness or smarting when applying it or aiierwaras. u your arugsisi don't have freexone have him order It for you. Itorn. .
