YOUNG AMERICANS ON THE
FIRING LINE IN FRANCE

Grand Headquarters, French Army,
in France, May 24.-The first Ame-
rican combatant corps went to the
front to-day under Capt. E. 1. Tinkaf
and Lieut.. Scully, of Princeton. Capt.
Tinkhaf won the war cross at Ver-
dun.
1t vas proud moment when the
first detachment of the American
field service, consisting mainly of
Cornell undergraduates, departed for
the Aisne battlefield. They were
armed with carbines, attired in khaki
uniforms and drove American five
ton motor cars. AS they left the
stars and stripes floated over the can
tonment in an historic French forest,
and other contingents cheered them
on their way.
The correspondent of the Associat-
ed Press watched them drilling in
preparation for active participation
in the fighting. Among them were
detachments from Andover, Dart
mouth, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Yale,
Chicago and Williams colleges, while
a large body from Princeton was
awaiting organization. Lieut. DAILY,
captain of the Yale football team of
1910, and Lieut.. William Taylor, of
New York, were busy putting one
section into shape while Lieut.. Ken
nedy superintended another.
French officers and Lieut. J. w.
Ostheimer, of Philadelphia, who won
his rank in the French army in which
he enlisted at the outbreak of the
war, have been appointed instructors
of the Americans at the central train
ing school. All officers attached to
the corps express the utmost satisfac-
| ton with the men who display readi-
ness to perform any task. They are
all strong, young men, many of them
civil engineers, and they show an
adaptability to meet new circum-
stances.

PEOPLE ARE BEHIND
TAXATION FOR WAR

Washington, May 27.-Secretary
McAdoo, home from a speaking tour
of Middle and Central Western cities
in the interest of the Liberty loan,
declared in a statement tonight that
the people were behind the admins
tration's programme of raising ap-
proximately $780, 1000 for war
purposes by taxation.
while every one wants the new
taxes to be equitably distributed
there is willingness-in fact, eager
ness" the secretary said, "to make
the necessary sacrifices to strengthen
the governments finances and to sup
port to the utmost the gallant men
who are going to the front"

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen a tender corn or
callus SO it lifts out without
pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestcrcd with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from locwjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati author
ityto use drug called freezone,
which the moment few drops are ap-
piled to any corn or callus the sore
ness is relieved and soon the entire
corn or callus, root and all, lifts off
with the fingers.
Freezone dries the moment is is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or
callus without inflaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.
A small bottle Of freezone will cost
very little at any Of the drug stores,
but will positively rid ones feet Of
every hard or soft corn or hardened
callus. If your druggist hasn't an
freezone he can get it at any whols
sale drug house for you. 2-Adv.

w. M. Johnston Called to
Colors and Cancels En-
gagements on Court

William N. Johnston, Of California
national lawn tennis singles champion
Of 1915, left for the coast yesterday
afternoon to join the naval militia OF
his native state and report for active
duty. The man who won his title at
Forest Hills by conquering the great
Maurice Mclaughlin in the final round
Of the national tournament, had filed
his application for an ensign's commits
sion some weeks ago, but did not re-
ceive his commission until Saturday.
Johnston's call to the colors means
that he will no longer be a competitor
in the special series Of Red Cross am
bulance fund matches, TO play in which
he came all the way from the coast
about ten days ago. Neither VIII the
Californian be able to play in the ma
tionai singles tournament on the courts
Of the West Side Tennis Club, at FOREST
Hills, beginning on August 70.
Johnston was Just rounding into his
best form, and had conditions allowed
him TO remain in the East until the
start Of the national, his chances OF
winning the big tournament would have
been excellent.
George T. Adee, president OF the
United States National Lawn Tennis
Association, announced last night that
arrangements had about been completed
for bringing Johnny Strachan East in
Johnston's place. There is more than
an even chance, too, that Mclaughlin
may arrive in time 70 take part in some
Of the exhibition matches
