right at the time the Italian offensive
was at its heighth and it was possible
for the Central Powers to withdraw
sufficient Austro-German forces from
the eastern front to bring to a halt
the victorious Italian thrust.
"Why?" Italy now asks; why must
the United States, a nation which prac-
tically had no army prior to last April,
be asked to send troops to Europe and
no appeal for troops be made to Japan,
which has one of the largest and most
effective armies In the world?'
Japan needs steel. Viscount 1shii
has been clothed with great authority
by his government-and Secretary
Lansing has proved himself to be
very shrewd diplomatist
Following vigorous complaints re
ceived from Rushville, Shirley, Rich
mond Newcas site and other points in
the Sixth Indiana distrist against an
order issued by Robert S. Lovett.
chairman of the railroad war board.
which threatened a coal famine in
Indiana, Representative Elliott entered
protest with Mr.. Lovett and as
result modification of the order was
obtained within as hours
The original order would have per-
mitted only coal shipments to lake
points from Indiana, Illinois and Ohio
Lovett has amended the ruling to pro-
vide Indiana industries with all the
coal they require.

sing has in the American embargo on
steel exports powerful argument to
use In including our far eastern ally to
employ its large and well trained army
to assist in the work of battering the
Central Powers to their knees.
War Helped Japan.
To state the case bluntly the present
war has been good thing for Japan.
1t has enabled her to establish her
authority over the demoralized Chinese
republic; she has seized the valuable
German colony in China with relative
ly small loss Of life, and she has COB
bled up practically all the Pacific
Island possessions of Germany.
All this Japan has done without
sending troops to the European battle
fields. She has used her man-power
instead for supplying war munitions to
her allies, and has grown rich in doing
so.
To state another fact very bluntly
the United States is now In a position
to Japan, in diplomatic language: IF
you want steel-fight." Not one of
the Entente powers has had the nerve,
as yet, to make this demand of Japan.
although Italy is now broadly limiting,
for the benefit of Japan, that an ally
which will not fight is not much Of
an ally.
Italy has conducted the most brill
liant offensive Of the year. There is
no gainsaying that fact. Here in
Washington it is generally agreed that
if JapaneSe army had been on the
eastern front this year to prevent the
collapse of the Russian offensive Italy
would have been entirely successful
in her effort to deal death blow to
Austrian power-a result which would
have unquestionably ended the war.
Could Check Italy.
AS it was, the demoraliZed Russian
army ceased to be a factor in the war

Ouch :? ?! q! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town II
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few
drops of a drug called freezone when
applied to a tender, aching corn stops
soreness at once, and soon the corn
dries UP and lifts RICH out without
pain.
He says freezone is an ether com
pound which dries Immediately and
never inflames or even irritates the
surrounding tissue or skin. A quarter
of an ounce Of freezone will cost very
little at any drug store, but is suffi-
cient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet. Millions
of American women will welcome this
announcement since the Inauguration

DEFENDS HARVESTER CO.
One of your contributors, Mr.. S. M.
Shot, gives new currency in The
Day Book to an ancient and lOng-eX-
ploded falsehOOd about this company,
as to which you may wish to set your
readers straight, or at least your con-
tribUtOr.
In a communication published
Feb. 20, Mr.. Shott says 80
the harvester trust shows cOnsidera-
ton for the farmer by selling its pro-
ducts cheaper abroad than to the
American farmer"
Our products are sold cheaper in
the United States than anywhere else
and we have but one price. There
never was any justification or excuse
for any such charge. 1t began good
many years ago as a campaign fabTi-
cation, a piece of sheer invention.
That it still persists and is believed
and repeated by intelligent people
testifies to human Credulity, to hui
man carelessness about the truth
and to the amazing vitality of a
plausible lie.
In 1909 this falsehOOd was official
ly and aUthOTitatively stamped as
such in two reports rendered by the
United States department of COM
merCe and labor to the senate in re-
spouse to resolutions of that body.
These reports are to be found in the
records as parts 1 and of senate
document No. 6, 61st congress, LIST
session. They contain facts and fig
Ures gathered by special agents of
the government as to the prices of
American farm machinery abroad
which, on comparison with current
American prices, showed the utter
falsity of the charge.

employee of the National Life Insur-

recites the low pay and the unfair
treatment this company accOrds its
employees.
know of an employe of this COM
pany who was discharged for urging
the other employees to read The Day
Book. Apparently it is trying to re-
press the spirit of revolt which is
seething among its employees. But
tyranny always brings about its own
downfall. More Of them are reading
The Day Book and a number have
joined the Office employees union.
This company had half-page ad
in the Trib last Sunday setting forth
the advantages of taking out policy
in their company. OF course, the
workers, who are aware Of its labor
policy, will make haste to take out al
policy with them-nit.
Every time the insurance cOmpa-
MES are investigated we learn some
thing about the enormous profits in
the business and the high finance
methods of their officers. Now we
are beginning to learn how they
treat their employees, They rake in
