Nashlngton, Aprl 2b.-(Speclai.) Jun the surface there Is nothing more significant in the visit to the United States of A. J. Balfour, British foreign minister, than a formal recognition of Americas entry into the war as an ally of Great Britain.
 In the waving of the intermingled Stars and Stripes and union jack in the tinguished visitor presents himself, in the state dinners, formal receptions and unique ceremonials, there is nothing in- dicative of the real cruel business con- stituting the sole purpose of Balfour's presence in this country
 The representative of the English gov- ernment has let it be known, it is unoffi- cially reported, that the war in Europe into which an American army will soon be hurled, will continue to be a long and bloody and costly war and that the part will tax the resources of this nation to its last citizen and it's last farthing.
 CONGRESS SHARES VIEWS
 This view is shared by conservative members of Congress. John Sharp Will Hams, Mississippi senator, recently de- clared that nothing could be more un- founded than the currently reported inti- nation that Germany, starving to death and threatened with revolution at home, is about to abandon the fight.
 Senator Williams fears that as soon as spring makes extensive operations pos sible Germany will sweep through north ern Italy like an avalanche, overturn Russia, presently demoralized. and go against English and French troops un- embarrassed by enemies hanging on to it's heels.
 It is his opinion that if Germany, if it's plans are successful, it will be able to recover ground recently acquired by France and England in their wonderful drive. He holds that then it will be the function of the United States to exert the balance of power.
 THE AMERICAN BURDEN
 Balfour and Viviani, the French diplo- mat, who has joined the momentous council in Washington, will proceed to lay bare the entire European situation For many months England has been support ing with it's wealth Italy and Russia. England's, wealth is about exhausted. The United States, if Russia and Italy re- main in the struggle, must take up the English burden. In addition, the United States must finance England and France, and must supply the armies in Europe with munitions of war and food for man and beast. It is unknown whether or not Balfour adheres to the opinion that American dollars can win the war. It is known, however, that in addition to American billions, he expects the United States, in good time to send to Europe a million men and more.
 This the United States will do As to the necessity of hastily rushing American troops to Europe, there is difference of opinion. Senator Underwood believes that beneath American finance, the Ger man back must crumble. There are others, however, who are not so optimis- tic. They see an American force, swelled ing the brunt of Teuton .1hes They think that American dollars unless SUD- ported by an active American army and navy, will be inadequate for the hercu- lean task.
 BALFOUR IS DESCRIBED
 Balfour is an interesting character. He is as plain as a shoe. The curious citizens who gathered at the union station to

he will shrivel right up and you can pick him out after a touch of Ice mint. No pain, not a bit of soreness, either when applying it or after wards, and it doesn't even irritate the skin.
 Ice-mint is the real Japanese se- cret of fine healthy, little feet. Pre- vents foot odors and keeps them cool, sweet and comfortable. It is now selling like wildfire here.
 Just ask in any drug store for a little Ice-mint and give your poor suffering, tired feet the treat of their lives. There is nothing better, nor nothing just as good.'

The Special Session

In response to the call, advanc
ing the meeting of Congress from
April 10Th to the End, those mem
bers who had gone home after its
adjournment two weeks ago, are
now Washington bound, while the
President has been comforting with
the leaders already there.
Senator Hitchcock, mem Der OF
the Senate foreign relations COM
mittee who has been in close
touch with the president, tho he
has made it clear that he went to
the White House on his own in
itiative, outlines three courses
which he believes to be open to
Congress with the sentiment in
favor of the first.
Passage of resolution endors-
ing steps already taken by the
president to place the United
States in a state of armed neutral
ity and authorizing further pre-
paredness moves.
Adoption of resolution declar-
mo q state of war exists and the
adoption of a declaration of war
against Germany.
There is no doubt that the pol
icy laid before Congress will be
both vigorous and comprehensive.
but due to possible changes in the
situation, the president has not
yet put into final the message he
will deliver Tuesday or Wednes-
day.
From every point Of the union
messages are being sent Wilson
that be has practically the unani-
nous support of the nation in any
stand he may deem fit to take, as
the American people have conf
dence in his wisdom and judgment
and it is mete and proper that they
should, for since he has been in
the chair, not one but a succession
of matters of grave Importance
that have rocked the very founda-
lions OF our great republic, have
confronted him and he has dealt
with them in a manner that has
gained him the confidence and res
pect of his people-he has been
tried in the balance and not found
wanting.
