BRITAIN ROUNDS
 UP THE SLACKERS

Washington, April 17.-One of the first efforts of the British war commission coming to America will be to round up all the slackers who have been avoiding military service by remaining in the United States and force them into either the Am erican or British armies.
 The British commissioners hope to accomplish this by having the United States pass law either permitting recruiting of ally sub jects- in the United States or mak- ing such subjects liable under the uniyersale service provision of the new army bin.
 The plan has some advantages for the United States, because it would remove a class of citizens of mili- tary, age over which this govern ment otherwise would have no mil itary central, as was the case dur ling the civil war.

Yes! Lift A Corn
 Off Without Pain

You corn-pestered men and wo- men need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you be- fore, says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops of freezone ap- piled directly on a tender, aching corn or callus, stops soreness at once and soon the corn or hardened callus loosens so it can be lifted out, root and all, without pain.
 A., small bottle of freezone costs very little at any drug store, but will positively take off every >lrafd or soft corn or callus. This<should be tried, as it is inexpepsfve and is said not to irritate~~the surround ing skin.
 If your druggist hasn't any free zone tell him to get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house. It is fine stuff and acts like charm every time. *63

PLAN TO OUTWIT
 GERMAN U-BOATS
American Navy Will Patrol Waters From Canada to the Pan-

Washington, April 13.-WAth high British and French naval off cers in conference here with Ameri- can naval officials, definite steps have been taken toward participa- tion of the American navy in the war against Germany.
 Patrol Of the entire Atlantic sea board, reaching southward to the Panama Canal Zone and possibly northward to include Canada, will be the first duty of American war ships With that goes the necossi- ty of guarding against the probable extension of the German submarine campaign to include approaches to major American ports.
 British and French ships now on this patrol duty will be withdrawn as soon as the American forces have their lines established. The American sduadrons will operate

from British and French bases in the South Atlantic wherever pecse- sary.
 This was learned yesterday in that Vice Admiral M E. Browning of the British navy and Rear Ad- miral R. A. Granset of the French navy are in Washington conferrins with Secretary Daniels, Admiral Berson, chief of naval operations, and other officers of the American navy. The conferences have to do with the part the American fleet will play in the war either imme4 diately or later, when it's strength in light patrol craft and trained men has been increased.
 Commanders of the British and French forces off the American coasts, it is known have. expected that Germany would extend her sub marine operations to these waters. to patrol vigorously the approaches to the chief Ameri- can harbors have been made and will be carried out by American ships.

York, the mouth of the Delaware, the mouth a. of the Chesapeake, Charleston and Savannah. These are the arteries through which flows the main traffic in foodstuffs and war supplies for Europe.
 Unless a asblockade is declared, in line with her, previous action, Ger many would be under the necessity of giving warning before attacking merchant craft under neutral flags.
 Naval officers doubt that any considerable number of German submarines can be spared from the task of, .blockading the British Isles for work ol this side of the Allan tic. The. sporadic operations with in prescribed areas are looked for however, and no precaution to guard against them will be overlooked
 The navy department has con- siderable supply of submarine trap nets already available and more will be delivered within a few days. It is assumed that the approaches to American harbors will be fully protected in this way and the fleet of submarine chasers now being as sembled, equipped and manned dis tributed to comb the seas.
 CAM USE ENTENTE PORTS.
 The conferences with the visiting officers have dealt with many sub jects. It is understood that when ever need arises oprts on the French and British coasts will be placed at ~he disposal of the American naval forces. An American naval port probably will be established on the Irish coast when the measures of cooperation have been extended.
