WOMEN CLEAN COACHES.
Doing Work of Men in Rutland Rail
road Paint Shop.

RUTLAND, Oct. l6.-The long per
sistent rumors that women are to work
IN the shops of the Rutland railroad
to take the places of male labor, of
which there is a shortage, became a
reality today when six women appeared
at the paint shop and donned overalls
These women are to clean ears in prepa-
ration for painting. The small force
is said to be an experiment and there
IS possibility that women will be em-
ployed in various departments where
the positions have always been filled
by men, many applications having been
received.
The regulation one-piece overall, ex-
tending to the shoe top, is being worn
by the car cleaners who began their
duties this morning \ room has been
set aside for the women to use in chang
ng thcir street garments for working
clothes on reaching the shop.

Washington, Feb. Cooperation Of
all transportation facilities of the Bel
gian relief commission have been or
dered suspended pending the outcome
Of negotiations through the Spanish
ambassador at Berlin by which it is

take the time from play to empty theis

sour.
Look at the tongue, mother! If coat

heartily, full of cold or has sore throat
or any other children's ailment, give a
teaspoonful of california Syrup Of
Figs" then don't worry, because 1t is
perfectly harmless, and In a few hours
all this constipation poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently
move out Of the bowels, and you have
"a well, playful child again. A thor
Ough "inside cleansing" is ofttimes all
that is necessary. It should be the

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

| You say to the drug store man,
''GiVe nae 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
lstantly, 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
corn or callus without irritating the
Surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order q small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv.

Great Campaign on Land and Sea and

Expected With View of Bring

End.

London, FEB. 5.-The first few days
Of German terrorism at sea have re.
suited in hardly a perceptible increase
in loss of shipping. The decrease in
losses is accounted for chiefly be-
cause the stopping of all outgoing ship
ping from European neutral ports has
decreased the number of vessels that
might fall prey to German submarines.
Very soon it is expected these sail
ings will be resumed, however, since
many of the neutrals are dependent
for their existence on their overseas
trade with Britain and other coun-
tries.

ALL NEUTRALS CALLED ON
TO TAKE SIMILAR STAND
President Confident That Sentiment
Of Country Is Behind Him and Is
Assured Of United Support of
Congress-Breaking of Re-
IatIons Brings u. 8. to
Verge of War.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The severance
Of diplomatic relations with Germany
has been formally announced to the
country and the world by President
Wilson at joint session of Congress
This speech contained a plea that
all neutral nations join with the Unit
ed States In the course adopted.
The United States now stands on
the verge of war, with all the historic
precedent Of centuries pressing it for
ward.
On Verge of War.
Bervently invoking thhe guidance OF
Almighty God in the step he had TAX.
en-, President Wilson detailed to the
Congress why the United States could
not continue relations with a warning
power which repeatedly invades its
sacred rights and takes the lives Of
its citizens.
President Speaks SoIemnIy.
Calm with a sense of right in what
may prove thhe most somber moment
of American history, the President
stood In thhe historic hall of the
House of representatives and spoke
the words which may carry the coun-
trty into the world confiict-not for
aggression ard not for power; only
for law and humanity.
Silent and attentive the grim com
pany Of the nations lawmakers lis
tened with rapt attention while Presi-
dent Wilson told of Americas course
in the now unsuccessful diplomatic
struggle to dissuade Germany from
her campaign of ruthlessness.
Refuses to Believe"
The President declared that mot
withstanding this unexpected action of
the German government, this sudden
and deeply deplorable remuneration of
its assurances given this government .
he refused to believe that "it is the
intention of the German authorities
to do in fact what they have warned
us they feel at liberty to do"
In concluding his address, President
Wilson declared that if overt acts are
forthcoming he will again come before
Congress to ask authority ito use any
means that may be necessary for the
protection of our seamen and our peo-
pie" All neutral governments, he be-
lieves, will take the same course.
Stands by Principles.
1--WE wish to serve no selfish ends"
the President stated. eve seek mere
ly to stand true alike in thought and
in action to the immemorial princi-
pies of our people seek mere
ly to vindicate our right to liberty
and justice and an unmolested life.
These are the bases of peace, not
war. God grant that we may not be
challenged to defend them by acts of
willful injustice on the part of the
government of Germany"

While the President was addressing
Congress, Law Adviser Woolsey of the
State department was at the German

Germany to Be Active.

A great campaign by Germany is
expected at any moment. Undoubted-
ly the renewal of unrestricted sub
by fresh Zeppelin attacks, another try
with her fleet and smashing blows
with her armies in the West. The poll
cy of abandoning all pretense to es-
tablished rules of warfare calls for
swift, hard blows, on land and sea,
and in the air.
That the heaviest fighting of the
spring will occur on the west front,
where preparations for an allied often
sive, possibly along the line of the
last Somme drive are being rushed to
completion is an open secret. Ger
many is working feyerishly to
strengthen her defensive lines in or
der to meet the hammer blow that
may fall at any moment and to off
set it, as far as possible by an often
sive of her own, launched before the
Allied movement begins.
Supreme Effort Coming.
The next few months, it is safe to
predict, Will see Germany'S supreme
efforts. Like gambler who faces
bankruptcy, she will risk all upon a
throw of the dice. A desperate man
will take desperate measures, and the
German effort, as her own leaders
have declared, will be made without
regard for the rights of belligerents
or neutrals by air. sea or land.
Until the situation clears it is I'M
likely that any official statement will
be issued here. All that can be said
now is that the government and pub
lie are watching America with the
greatest interest From this view
point an early declaration Of war by
the United States, precipitated by some
covert act" of Germany is believed in
evitable.
