FRANCE AND BRITAIN
HAVE APPROVED DRAFT
OF NOTE TO WILSON

London, Jan. 2.-The final draft of
the reply of the entente to President
Wilson's peace note, which already
has been approved by France and
Great Britain, has been forwarded to
Italy and Russia and, as no changes
have been suggested thus far from
those nations. it is not improbable the
note will be delivered to the American
ambassador in Paris. William g.
Sharp, within short time. 1t is un-
derstood here that the note may pos
sibly be handed to Mr. Sharp tomor-
row. However. Belgium made her
request at the last moment that the
statement of her case be added to the
reply to the central powers, and SINH
lar additions or delays may occur in
the case of the note to President
Wilson.
In it's present form the reply Is
about the same length as the note tc
the central powers and has the same
characteristics of general and guarded
language. One of the most important
points is a differentiation between
peace among the present belligerents
and such future arrangements as may
be made for permanent peace. the
purpose being to show neutral up
holders of a future permanent peac,
that this is attainable.

Turkey REPUD|ATEs THE
GUARDIANSHIP Of POWERS
Action Taken to Enable Her to
Enter Peace Negotiations
as a Power.

Washington. Jan. 2.-American AM
bassador Elkus has forwarded from
Constantinople an article from a
semi official newspaper in the Turk
ish capital giving the text of Turkeys
reputation of the guardianship of the
great powers which was created by
the treaty of Paris of 1856 and the
treaty of Berlin of 1878.
One of the motives of the repudia-
tIon, 1t was said here. was to permit
Turkey to enter a peace conference as
an entirely Independent power.
The United States will take no ac-
ton in the matter. as this country was
not party to either treaty and does
not consider that its rights are more
particularly involved through this
specific action than through the whole
general Turkish situation.
The significance of Turkeys repudi-
alton of the treaties of Paris and Ber-
lin. officials here believe. Is a ques-
tion entirely dependent on the outcome
Of the war.

Secretary Lansing said today that
the English text of the entente reply
to Germany's peace proposals probably
would be forwarded to the central

official French text. That will be

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,
DOESN'T HURT A BIT!
No fooIishness! Lift your corns
and caIIuses off with fingers
It's like maeicl

Sore corns, hard cOrns, soft corns or
any kind of corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
apply upon the corn a few drops of
freezone. says a Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get a small
bottle Of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet of
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
it is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while APP
plying it or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many Of our readers. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get a small bottle for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.
