like ELECTRIC
BUTTON ON TOES
Tells Why a-GsDris So Painful and
Says Cutting Makes. g..
Them Grow.

Press an electric button and you
form a contact with a five wire which
rings the bell. When your shoes press
against your corn it pushes its sharp
roots down upon sensitive nerve and
you get a shock of pain.
Instead of trimming your corns,
which merely makes them grow, Just
step into any drug store and ask for a
quarter of an ounce of freezone. This
will cost very little but is sufficient to
remove every hard or soft corn or
callus from ones feet A few drops
applied directly upon tender, aching
corn stops the soreness instantly, and
soon the corn shriyeis up so It lifts
right out, root and all, without pain.
This drug is harmless and never in

stated that the Empress said to him
that she ardently longed for peace
and did her best to bring II ABOUT:
She then added, evidently on behalf OF

situation will become increasingly
serious. The trustees feel il is their
duty TO make the resources of the
Foundation count in such a crisis. The
whole problem of giving aid from a
sanitary, medical and charitable point
of view is pressing, especially in
France.
There is great ground for saiisfac-
tion in President Wilson's appointment
of the war council for the Red Cross.
With such men as II. p. Dawson and
Judge Lovett at its head, the prospect
Of the thorough organizing Of com
prehensive plan OF dealing with the
who domestic situation, as well as
with medical rnd relief work in the
Allied countries, is sure to command
confidence. There is reason 10 believe
that in the near future the Red Cross
will offer the country an opportunity
TO support a statesmanlike programme
for dealing with the entire problem.
"The Foundation has faith in the ad-
ministraton Of the Red Cross, as re-
organized, and hopes to make liberal
contribution &c the funds which the
organization will ask the American
people 10 provide.

London, May 23.-There was q SIM
Pile, democratic and almost domestic
scene at Buckingham Palace to-day
when King George and Queen Mary
welcomed the Lakeside contingent of
surgeons and nurses who make up the
first detachment of the United States
army detailed for service on the Brit
ish fighting front in France.
When the King and Queen emerged
the doctors were drawn up in two lines
in the beautiful gardens of the palace,
while the nurses, clad in indoor uni
forms with blue outdoor coats, mar
shalled behind them, made brave show
in the sunshine against background
of sunlit grass and khaki uniforms.
The Kings speech was very brief,
but his manner Of delivery was even
heartier than his words.
at is with the utmost pleasure and
satisfaction that the Queen and well
come you here to-day said King
George. I'VE greet you as the first
detachment of the American army
which has been landed on our shores

Hungarian Cabinet
And Premier Tisza
Said to Have Resigned

London, May PA dispatch to
Reuters Telegram Company from Am
sterdam gives the following semi-ofti-
cial statement received from Buda-
pest:
"As the Emperor did not give his
assent to the governments franchise
proposal, Count Tisza, the Hungarian
Premier, rendered the resignation OF
the entire Cabinet, which the Emperor
accepted.
"The Emperor charged Count Tisza
with continuing the conduct Of cur
rent business. No decision has been
taken regarding an audience in con-
nection with the formation Of new
Cabinet"
The Vienna newspapers say that the
crisis concerns Hungarian domestic
affairs and does not affect Hungary's
foreign policy or the war. II is ex-
pected that his successor will be, Count
Johann Itchy or Count Bella Sernyl,
former Minister of Agriculture.
Count Tisza, the Iron Man. OF Aus
tria-Hungary, has been for many years
the leader Of the pro-German party IN
the Dual Monarchy. There have been
persistent reports that Emperor
Charles keenly resented the dominance
of Berlin in Austro- Hungarian affairs
and that Count Tisza was the one great
obstacle which prevented him from
freeing his empire from the influence
of Potsdam.
There have been several reports re-
Gently that the fall of Tisza was I'M
minent, but the rigid censorship I'M
posed by Vienna has prevented the out
side world from learning the exact con-
dition of affairs. At the outbreak Oh
the war a truce was declared between
the political parties in Hungary, but
last August Count Apponyi, leader OF
the Liberals and a strong opponent OF
the Pan Germans, announced that tne
truce was ended. He was. joined py
Count Karolyi, president of the Hun
garian Independent party, and the Two
nonular leaders instituted a vigorous
ramnaign against Count Tisza for his
failure TO carry out franchise and other
reforms.

Every one here comments on the
simplicity of the private life of the

captured the Imagination Of the sur

"The smile Of the King and Queen
made us feel quite at home. The re-
ception was even less formal than one

of several nurses. while all expressed
admiration for the bonnie appearance

Jofre's Departure Kept
Secret by Newspapers

Washington, May 23.-VicePremier
Viviani. Marshal Joffre and the French
mission sailed from New York Tuesday,
May Is. unknown except to few Off
cials and many American newspapers,
which Loyalty KEEP. the secret so the
distinguished guests of the nation
nigh. no. be unnecessarily endangered
By German submarines. The party
slipped away on the same steamer
which brought them over, and were
conveyed by French warship.
So we'll was the secret kept by the
volunteer censorship OF American
newspapers that up to yesterday inyi-
tations to the French commissioners
to visit various sections OF the coun-
try were received in great number.
The departure Of the Frenchmen was
attended by as much secrecy as the
government. could throw around it. On
Monday, May IA, the mission returned
TO Washington on special trains from
its tour. IL was presumed the members
were returning TO take up their con-
ferences on the conduct OF the war,
but they really returned to make their
farewell visits to President Wilson and
other American officials. There had
been not even an intimation that they
were to leave so soon. Their special
train was held in waiting, and late
that afternoon the mission sped away
again and reached New York before
midnight.
Tugs were recdy and the Frenchmen
were taken to the liner waiting for
them in midstream. The ship sailed
ou, through tic harbor guards in the
early hours Of Tuesday morning. and
it was generally supposed in New York
that the liner and her convoy were
sailing for Hampton Roads to take on
the French party.
