800 SUBMARINES IN ACTION
Final Effort Of Germany to Crush En-
tente Allies Is Made With Resump-
ton of Undersea Warfare.

New York.-Germany plays her
trumps. Three hundred or more sub
marines have plunged into the waters
of the North Sea to make the final
effort against Great Britain. They
modified from Kiel, Hamburg, Will
helmshaven and Bremerhaven, where,
for months, picked crews have train
ed with anxious thoroughness. They
go in confidence, for they are the
deadliest of all the brood of sea mon
sters. They form the worlds firse
diving battle fleet, navy equally pre-
pared to fight above or beneath the
waves. The pride Of this strange fleet
is a powerful fighting craft. A thor
oughgoing cruiser designed to make
its prowess felt upon the surface as
well as in the lower. ocean.
1t is plain fact, the magnificent sub
marine fleet that the Germans finally
have unleashed is the supreme
labor of Central Europe to wiring vic
tory from the hand of reluctant for
tune. The leaders in Berlin have long
since admitted to themselves that this
war cannot be won in the clash of
armies, millions strong. They have

OFFICERS AND CREW SAVED
British Armed Steamer Picks Up OFF,

London.-The American steamer
Housatonic was sunk by a German
submarine near the Sicily Islands. All
the officers and crew were saved by a
British armed cruiser.
The Housatonic sailed from Calves
ton early in January for London, via
Newport News, Va. She left Newport
News on January Is. There were APP
proximately 15 Americans in the crew
and "a of other naticnalities.
The Housatonic was 3,143 tons gross
and was built in Glasgow in 1890. She
was 23S feet long, 40 feet wide and 20
feet deep. She was formerly the Ham
burg-American line steamer Georgia,
and American registry was granted to
her in April, 1915.
The steamer was carrying contra
band, and as she was destroyed after
proper warning and provision for the
safety of her crew, the United States
will merely have a claim for damages,
as in the Frye case.

YES! MAG!CALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me q 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 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 Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries In
n 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 small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv

AMERICANS IN WORLD WAR
Larger Number Assisting Entent
Allies Than Were in Spanish
American War.

London.-Nearly $4,000 Americans
are estimated to be fighting for the
allies, and nearly four-f1fths of these
are in the khaki-clad British army
commanded by Field Marshal Haig.
1t Is computed that the actual fight
ing force OF Americans now in France
under the Union Jack Is probably
larger than the United States army
which was actually engaged in hos
tilities in the Spanish-American war.
Hundreds of Americans have given
their lives for the allies, and hundreds
bear permanent scars, but each new
battalion and each group of reinforce
ments arriving from overseas brings
numbers Of their fellow-countrymen
to take their places.
All have fought with a pluck and de.
termination which have won them uni
versal respect and admiration.

Ten Billions in Coal.

The Nenana coal fields, Alaska, will
be tributary to the government rail-
road now under construction from
Seward to Fairbanks. Though the coal
I'm this field is Ignite, and hence Of
low grade, yet it has great value as n
source of fuel and power for Fairbanks
and other Yukon placer camps. The
field Is about sixty miles south Of
Fairbanks. 1t estimated by the
United States geological survey, de-
partment of the interior, that the Ne
mana field contains some ten billion
tons of Ignite. The Nenana coal field
lies In what is known as the Bonni-
field region, which also contains some
gold placers that have been mined in
q small way for the last ten years.
The district Is described in report
entitled 1.-THE Bonnifield Region, Alas
ka" (bulletin 501), which can be OBJ
tanned on application to the director Of

SENTIMENTS OF KAISER.

"In the next Wharf.-The nation which
drinks the least alcohol will be the
winner" These are the words of the
German unprecedented from his
speech at the dedication of the naval
academy at Murvik, November 81,
1910. This speech, geographically re-
ported, was published with official
sanction and attracted world attention.
The events of the past few years
add enormously to its significance. Adj
dressing the cadets Emperor William
said
snow ! will give you q little warn
ing, in passing, on question which
lies very much on my heart for my
nation. This is the question of al
cOhol and drink. AS you will your
selves, observe in the course of your
time on board, the service in my navy
has reached degree of strain which
can hardly be surpassed. To be able
to endure this enormous pressure in
time of peace without wearing out, so
that you may be fresh when serious
call comes, Is your duty. The next
war, the next naval encounter, will
require of you sound nerves. These
are undetermined by alcohol, endan-
gered, from youth up, by its use. You
will later have opportunity to see the
marine targets and the action of mod
ern guns ON ships, and will be able,
therefore, to infer the conditions in
battle. You will see horrible devas-
tation and all kinds Of pictures. Then
the word will be, strong nerves and
cool heads. The nation which drinks
the least alcohol will be the winnerl
And that, gentlemen, should be you !!
And the crews should be given good
example, for that works most power
fully among men. Consequently / ex-
pect you in the marine academy, as
on board ship, while in all your COM
radeship you are not interfered with,
yet among yourselves, that you attend
to 1t, and that 1t be seen to, that the
use Of alcohol be not considered one
of your privileges. Already Good Tenn
plar lodges of Blue Cross unions have
been projected or formed In my navy.
Individual officers and some hundreds
of men have joined them. / hope you
will do all you can to encourage the
men to enter. need only to point to
the example Of the English navy,
where 10000 men and officers have en-
tered Temperance organizations) to
the great profit of the service. 1t Is
a question of the future for our navy
and people. II you educate the peo-
pie to give up alcohol / shall have
sound and sensible subjects. 1t is
great coming question, for when the
men pass out of the service they will
bring these ideas to the country at
large. If you stand for these princ-
pies my people will be raised morally.
This is work in which ! beg you to
participate"

BERLlN.--(Via London.)-Germany

for the release of the IL Americans

In the Atlantic and brought to Ger
man port aboard the steamer Narrow.
dale.
Washington-All diplomatic rela.
tions with the German empire and the
United States have been severed. In
an informal address before joint ses
sion Of congress President Wilson ar
nounced to the world that conditions
between the two countries had reached
a place where 1t was necessary to sew.
er all direct communication.
Fervently invoking the guidance Of
Almighty God in the step he has just
taken, President Woodrow Wilson de-
tailed to the congress why the United
States can not continue relations of
amity with warning power which re-
peatedly invades its sacred rights and
ruthlessly takes the lives OF its cit
izens.
With the senators and representa-
tives before him in the historic halls
Of the house of representatives. the
president in a 10.minute speech spoke
the words that may carry this country
into the world conflict. Calm and with
sense of absolute right in what may
prove the most somber moment Of
American history President Wilson ex-
planned the course in the now admit
tedly unsuccessful diplomatic struggle
to dissuade Germany from her cam
paign of wanton ruthlessness.
With silent attention the grim COM
pany of the nations lawmakers list
ened while the president told of the
struggle waged for law and humanity,
not for aggression and not for power
The president recalls pledges made
by Germany and ruthlessly broken and
declares the United States cannot con-
tinue relations with power that has
invaded our sacred rights on high seas
and threatens the lives Of our citizens.
