BERLIN STILL
SETTLING With
STRIKE SPIRIT
American, Just Out of Ger
many, Tells of Real Con-
ditions There.
lBy Associated Press.l

Copenhagen, April 27.--Some Of the
men from the German industries will
be sent to fill the gaps resulting from
the tremendous casualties on the
western front and, others to permit the
release of older men, particularly
fathers OF families while still others
will serve as substitutes for skilled
miners now with the colors but more
urgently required in the coal mines.
A strong ferment is evident among
the German laboring masses caused by
food conditions including the reduc-
ton Of rations, the high cost of living
and WEAKNESS of war. This view is
confirmed by an American business
man who has just succeeded in leav-
ing Germany and who, knowing OF
the indications given by the German
of yesterday and today,
told The Associated Press correspond
ent that Berlin was still seething with
strike. feeling and that the impression
was widespread that there will be an
other strike outbreak on May Day.
Whether the governments vigorous
and warnings will be
more effective than the campaign of
appeal preceding the strike
on April 16 remains to be seen. Per-
sons here familiar with conditions in
Germany expressed themselves as
finding il difficult to believe that the
German authorities, If they made up
their minds to energetic action, will be
unable to cope with the situation, par

FARGO COLLEGE RECRUITS
HONORED BY STUDENTS
Patriotism Theme of Address by Rev.
II. A. Beard Speaker at Spe-
cfaI Chapel Today,

Patriotism was the theme of a fare
well address given by Rev. r. A. Beard
this morning as the principal feature
of the special chapel exercises held at
Fargo college in compliment to the ten
Fargo college men who have enlisted.
These men will leave next Saturday
and next Tuesday for their respective

Marines, Ernest Robertson and Ray
mond Wells; navy, Charles Brown, Olin
Shute, Marion Watson, Rudolph Over
by, John Jones and George Slime; avi-
alton corps, Ray Shaver and Earl Silk
rud.
DR.. Beard outlined the import of the
present great struggle between democ-
racy and autocracy, and urged recogni-
ton of the mighty fact that our coUn-
try stands before party and before To-
cal community interest. In this con-
nection he expressed sentiment ia
voring permission to Teddy Roosevelt
to carry out his proposition as to TAX
ing an American fighting force to
France. The student body responded
enthusiastically to the appeal of patri-
otism which ne presented.
A piano solo by Miss Gladys O'Neil
was a special musical feature, and the

patriotic songs at the conclusion of the
service.

SUFFERING CATS!
GIVE THIS MAN
THE GOLD MEDAL

Let folks step on your feet he1e-
after; wear shoes a size smaller if
you like, for corns will never again
send electric sparks of pain through
you, according to this Cincinnati
authority.
Sc says that few drops of a drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a, tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug is a sticky ether COM
pound, but dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn without inflaming
or even irritating the surrounding
tissue.
1t is claimed that a quarter of an
ounce of freezone obtained at any drug
store will cost very little but is suffi-
cient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet. Cut this
out, especially if you are a woman
reader who wears high heels.

monthly; Mrs. Mcfarland, s1.50; con
tributions, S155. A total of s49.75
was obtained from sale of wool and
needles. Thirty-one pair of socks
have been turned in, ten pairs for the
French aid. Two gentlemen wishing
to double the value of their gifts to
the French, aid, have bought wool
from the Red Cross. The committee
finds knitters for the wool and the
socks are turned in when finished to
the French aid. Thus Mr.. Elders So
means ten pairs of socks and Mr.. B.
B. Hobbs is giving four pair monthly.
The public is earnestly requested to
give generously to this department of
the Red Cross. There are many good
knitters in the city who are anxious
to knit, but do not feel able to buy
wool. The committee is also anxious
to have these women interested and
ready so that when they are asked
to send good outfit to Company l.
prior to their taking part in active
service they may be able to do So
Not only is it necessary to be in
touch with the women, but it is
necessary for them to understand
