Recruiting all over the country has
started on boom since Congress
passed the CONSUMPTION law. Young
men all over this end of the state are
rushing to enlist in that branch of the
service which seems most attractive
to them; for il they wait until they
are registered and made eligible for
CONSUMPTION they will have to 90
where the government sends them.
REGISTRATION THIRTY DAYS
OFF.
Washington dispatches predict the
president will not call for the regis
tration for thirty days after the army
bill is signed and no definite informa.
ton is at hand as to when local boards
yet to be organized will be called or
torecord the names Of eligible re
cruits.
Nothing will be done until the con-
ferees of the house and senate have
reached an agreement on the age lin
its and it is probable that the registra-
ton will not be held until the latter
part of May or early in June.
All men between the ages specified
on the final acceptance of the compul-
sorry service bill will be required to
register. Whether or not they will
be held for service is up to the con-
scription boatLs.
This compc!s married men, men
with dependents and those engaged
in any line OF work whatsoever to
present themselves to the registra-
ton clerk of their. particular precinct
on registration day. After the regis
tration each may take up his claims
for exemption with the central boards.
SIX MONTHS PENALTY.
The day of registration will be an

clamation. None will be excused on

Jail will be the punishment of the
Stacker who fails to register on ma
tional registration day.
The bill will be given as much put
licity as possible and all newspapers
will be asked to publish tie prc.i-
dents proclamation conspicuously bL.
there will be no endeavor personally

The Hague, May Z.-Dr. Won BETH
MANN Hollweg, the German imperial
chancellor, will make another peace
offer in the reichstag on tomorrow,
according to an announcement made
today by the Berliner Tageblatt.
1.-THE world will be astonished by
the moderation Of the German peace
TERMS" said the General Anzeiger, Of
Dusseldorf, Germany, quoting in a
recent dispatch from Berlin, a state
mentgiven out to foreign correspon-
dents in Berlin. For several weeks
| it has minated that Germany might
soon make another peace offer, and
recent information from Berlin showed
that Chancellor Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg was expected soon to make an
announcement in regard to interna-
tional questions, although heretofore
| no statement has come from a respon-
sible quarter that peace offer actual
ly would be made.
For several months controversy
has been IN progress in Germany as
to the aims Z Of the war. The social
lists, vigorously opposed by the Pam
Germans, are urging clear statement
|of Germany's peace. terms on the
basis of no annsxations or indemni-
ties. The, chancellor was recently
reported to have decided to defer de-
finite formulation of peace proposals.
The announcement of the chancel-
lor's plans to make peace offers on
tomorrow is given an added weight
by the fact that it appears in the Tage-
blatt, one of the most widely circulate
ed German newspapers.
ASSOCIATED PRESS WAR SUM-
MARY.
May day passed in Germany with
little news coming out to show the
exact situation in regard to the unrest
of the workmen as result of which
it had been predicted that great
strikes might result. A brief Berlin
dispatch said the efforts of the radical
socialists to bring about a cessation
of work in munition factories had
failed and that no disturbances had
occurred in Berlin. Unofficial adj
vices, however, were to the effect
that strikes had been declared by
munition workers in the Rhine pro-
vinces and that Essen, the home of
the great Krupp works, had been
isolated from the world so far as
news was concerned to prevent in
formations regarding strikes in the
Krupp works from leaking out.
OUTBREAK IN PETROGRAD.
Petrograd has again been the scene

SAYS CORNS LIFT
RIGHT OUT NOW


You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn. the soreness is relieved
and soon the entire corn, root and all,
lifts out with the fingers.
1t is sticky ether compound which
dries the moment it is applied and
simply shrivels the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin. It Is claimed
that a quarter of an ounce of freezone
will cost very little at any Of the drug
stores, but is sufficient to rid ones feet
of every hard or soft corn or callus.
You are further warned that cutting
at corn is suicidal habit.-Adv.
