FOUR KILLED.

Youngstown, O., May PA mys-
FERROUS explosion in the power plant
of the Republic Iron and Steel COM
pany at noon yesterday brought IN
slant death to four men and injuries
to II others. Five of the latter were
seriously hurt and it is believed one
may succumb.
Officials were inclined to scout the
idea that the explosion was caused
by war plotters.
Heavy machinery was blown to
pieces, crushing out the lives of the
four victims and pinning others to
the floor. Many we're burned in the
steam which enveloped the place.

WANT GRAIN TAXED

Complaint is being made to the
state tax commission that grain
stored in North Dakota elevators
April is not being assessed in con-
formity with the state laws. In some
instances, the commission asserts,
there has been shipped out OF eleva-
tors several times the amount OF
grain reported April l, and the board
suggests that the assessors ascertain
the reason for this discrepancy.

AMERICAN TROOPS
WILL BE WELL PAID
House Approves fine Conference
Report on Army Bill With
out Record Vote.
ALL BRANCHES GET INCREASE
Senate Is Expected to Take Affirm
atiVe Action at Once-May
Reduce Draft Age.

Washington, May 1.-THE confer |
ence report on the army bill was
adopted by the House without a rec |
ord vote late today after Representa- |
tive Dent had announced the Senate
conferees had agreed to the House
provision increasing the pay of enlist
ed men. Final action must be taken
by the Senate.
The section regarding pay as agreed
to by the conferees, provides that all
officers and enlisted men of the forces
to be raised by CONSUMPTION shall have
the same pay, allowances and PEN
sions as the regular army, and makes
these increases in the pay of enlisted
regulars: Those receiving SIS to S21
per month an increase of SIS per
month; those receiving s24, an in
crease of S12; those receiving $50, $50
or $40, an increase of IS, and those
receiving s45 or more, an increase of
per cent.
The Senate is expected to, accept
the conference report and then it will
go to the President. Senator Cham
berlain, chairman of the Senate con-
ferees, said he yielded in the army pay
increase only in a desire to hasten
final enactment. The Senate had
| voted smaller increase.
May Reduce Draft Maximum Age.
Senator Chamberlain said an effort
might be expected when the report is
| brought up to reduce the maximum
| CONSUMPTION age of 80 years insisted
| upon by the House and agreed to by
the confereeS. Both the pay increase
| section and the Roosevelt volunteer
amendment may also encounter re-
newed objection.
| Ready for Registration.
Plans for beginning registration of
| those subject to draft have been COM
pleted by the war department and it
was announced tonight that immedi-
| ately upon signature of the bill by the
| President the department also will
outline the procedure to be followed
in bringing all the national guard into
the federal service. Many details re-
| garding the sQuadron's mobilization
/ and its status remain to be completed
and Secretary Baker said the state
| regiments will not be ordered to di-
visional or army corps concentration
camps, except where a state division
exists until all preparations are made
at the camp sites for their reception.

NO CANS FOR BEANS OR SOUP
War Committee Cuts Off Supply Of
Tins to Packers of These
Vegetables.

Washington, May 17.-American
consumers may have to deny them
selves canned beans and canned soups
of all kinds for a time, under a deci-
sion of the war can committee today
which cuts off the supply of cans to
packers of those foods.
The committee, comprising tin plate
makers, can manufacturers, Gamers
and government officials, hold that the
shortage of tin makes it imperative
that cans be supplied only packers of
perishables and of foods absolutely
necessary to the national existence
The order will be effective for sixty
days or perhaps longer, and will be
put into operation over the vigorous
protest of the bean and soup packers,
who declare it means ruin for their
business.

LENGTH OF WIRELESS WAVE
Naturally 1t Is Four Times That Of
the Aerial, but This Does Not
Always Hold Good.

In articles of wireless telegraphy
such expressions as 200-meter wave
lengths, 6O0-meter wave-lengths.. 49,
oOO-meter wave-lengths are constantly
used. In reply to a correspondent who
asks how the length of the waves is
measured the Scientific American gives
the following simple explanation
The length of an electric wave is
determined by a wave-meter. The nat
ural wavelength of an aerial is four
times its linear length. just as the
wave-length of a note of closed or
gan pipe is four times the length of the
pipe, and the wave-length of the note
of tuning fork is four times the
length of the box which is resonant
with the note. However, other con-
siderations make ii difficult to measure
the wave-length by a rule, and the
wave-meter gives more correct re-
suit than can be found by measuring
the length of the wire"

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
Give me a small bottle of freeZone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus. root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corr or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone

his wholesale drug house for you.-adv

TOLD BRIEFLY
THE NEWS OF SEVEN
DAYS ALL LANDS
War News.

Further details concerning the fight
ing at Bullecourt show that the Ger
mans made a deliberate but unsuc-
cessful attempt by series of strong
and carefully concerted attacks, pow
erfully supported by artillery and
trench mortar fire, to drive the Brit
ish troops out of Bullecourt and the
section of the Hindenburg line held
by them east of the village
r. r r
An Austrian official communication
says that after three days artillery
preparation an Italian attack was be-
gun gainst the Austrian Isonzo army
on front of more than forty kilome-
tiers. The communication says the at
tacks were repulsed.
r r r
The British troops have occupied all
of the village of Rouex, according to
an official report from headquarters
in France and have made some ad-
vance north of Gavrelle.
r r r
ION the Trentino front there were
artillery duels on the Asiago Plateau,
an Italian war office report says.
Enemy airplanes made repeated at
tempts to reconnoiter in the Sugna
air patrols. Enemy detachments
were repulsed in the Travignolo Val
ley and in the San Pellegrino Valley.
r r +
After days of intensive fighting, in
which positions have changed hands
numerous times, the British troops
have recaptured the great portion OF
the village of Bullecourt and repulsed
violent counter attacks delivered by
the Germans east of the village.
r r r
There is still no indication of the
approach of any fighting of moment
between the Austro-Germans and Rus
slams on the eastern front from the
Baltic sea to Dumania. Along this en-
tire line the operations consist merely
of small skirmishes and reconnois-
anceS.
The Germans, returning to the at
tack against the new British position
south of the Souchez river, forced the
British to give ground and withdraw
from a part of the front, a British of
fetal communication says. Later
however, in a counter attack, the Brit
ish regained all their old positions, the
Germans suffering heavy casualties.
r r. r
The Italian forces apparently are
| ready to strike in a general offensive
movement with Trieste as the objec
tive. Although there has been vir
tual shutting down on news of army
| movements at the front, dispatches
| from Switzerland indicate that the of
fensive already is under way.
