Lift Your COrnS
 Off With Fingers
Tells How to Loosen Tender Corn CT CaIlus Sc it Lifts Out With
 out Pain

You reckless men and women who are pestered with corns and who have at least once a week invited an awful death from lockjaw or blood poison are now told by Cincinnati author ity to use a drug called Freezone, which the moment applied to any corn or eallus the soreness is relieved and soon the entire corn or callus, root and all, lifts off with the fingers.
 Freezone dries the moment 1t is ap- piled. and simply shrivels the corn or callus without infaming or even ir- ritating the surrounding tissue or skin. 4 small bottle of Freezone will cost very little at any drug store, but will positively rid ones feet of every hard or soft corn CT hardened callus. If your druggist hasn't any Freezone he can get it at any whole sale drug house for you.

WAR ON FOOL FIRES
 \ PATRIOTIC MOVE
Unusual Conditions of War Time Makes Fire Hazard an Ofense
 Against Country

Citizens responsible for buildings in which are stored food or materials of particular use 70 the government in warfare, should leave no stone unturn- ed to protect the property against fire loss, states good authority.
 CarelessneSs in ordinary times, which is responsible for more than three-fourths of the fire loss in our country Is reprehensible and is a real curse on our people and a drainon our prosperity But in time of war Gre destruction Of food and war mater ials including cotton is. when due to eareIessness, almost reasonable.
 Every citizen in Arkansas who has upon his shoulders such a responsi bi- lity may without payment of a dollar have the benefit of the advice and ser vices of the foremost fire prevention experts and safety engineers of the country as to needfal precautions, merely by requesting 1t from the Ac- tuarial Bureau at Little Rock.
 The trouble with most people how ever is that they don't live up to the knowledge and common sense they al- ready possess in matters of fire pre- vention. We can't do much for such people if we can't arouse them to a sense of their responsibility to their fellow men, at this time, to their country

Comptroller Reynolds has dis covered that in many instances it is impossible to audit the accounts of a department, on account of the careless methods employed in bookkeeping. New books are to be prepared, and un- der the provisions of the law, the de- partments and institutions are requir- ed to adopt the suggestions made by the Comptroller When this is done frequent audits may be made and it will be possible to determine ann in- equalities before they assume serious proportions.

their salary, and the amount of pay and food and clothing they receive from the government while they are in the service. Already four of their boys have enlisted in the army, Wal ter Pitcock, Gus Johnson, Sam Robi- fnson anr Walter Donovan, and two in the navy, Earl Stephenson and Julius Benson.
 While there are still some who hold different views from the president as to the wisdom of certain steps that are being taken for national defense, all are standing back of the Presi- dent in this hour of international cri- sis. Recruiting that is comparatively , slow at this time would be famed into confagration of patriotic enthus- iasm throughout Arkansas in the ev- ent. that there should be any indica- tion of bringing the war to American shores. Then no selective draft would be necessary to stir the state to its depths Those who openly condemn and criticise the President are looked upon as little better than traitors.

 Upon the outcome of the Constitu- tional Convention depends much of the future of Arkansas politics. Some members come with the avowed in- tention of increasing the salaries of state officials, starting at the bot tom and winding up with the Cover nor. No state offidial will receive less than S4,000 per annum, accord ing to one schedule, while another would make the lowest $5,000. The salary proposed for the governor runs from s6,500 to s10,000 yearly, with liberal expense account to provide for trips of official tenure, making It four years and only one term.
 There are several men in Arkan sas who have their eyes turned to- ward the office of governor, but they are not willing to sacrifice both time and business for the present paltry salary of the chief executive.
 Another probable change in official affairs to be considered by the con- vention is the consolidation of num- Der of offices now in force, but just which ones will be absorbed by others is a mere matter for conjecture.
 Until the past week only one candi- date for president of the Convention, T. C. McRae of Prescott, put another name has been added in that of T. N. Mehaffv of Little Rock, and as the weeks go by and the list of delegates is definitely fixed, number of other candidates will probably appear.
 Equal suffrage Is sure to be one of the chief topics for discussion, one candidate who is sura of eies tion, in- teresting himself to the extent of VI sting meetings of Xomans' clubs In his secton and ascertaining from them how many desire the ballott. He has found the women about equally diVi- ded on the question, and if the count still stands 50-50 when the conven- tion ouens, he will probably be absent on the day the vote is taken and play safe.

As a compromise, Confederate Vet erans will carry two flags when mar ching to decorate the graves of their fallen comrades this year. One will be the Stars and Bars, the other will be the Stars and Stripes. Because of the war, Confederate veteran at Fayetteville suggested that the Neter- ans show their allegiance to the Uni- ted States on Decoration Day. There was some spirited discussion relative to the furling Of the Stars and Bars, which have been carried on this day annually since the close of the war of 1861-1s65, and the matter vas finally adjusted by agreeing to carry small flag of each kind.

CHINESE BREAK
WITH GERMANY
Seizes All German Ships at
Shanghai and Puts Crews
on Shore Under Guard.
Young China Resents kaiser's Order
to Make the Word "German"
Dreaded In China for
Century.

Washington. American Minister
Reinsch at Pekin, on March IA. re-
ported to the state department that
China had severed diplomatic relations
with Germany and that the German
minister had been handed his pass
ports.
Advices to the navy department said
that China has taken possession OF all
German merchant ships in Shanghai,
about six in number, placed their
crews on shore under guard and plac-
ed armed guards on the vessels.
China's severance of relations has
been expected here for weeks. The
action of the United States in break
ing relations was received with accla
nation by Chinese officials and press,
particularly young China. Feeling
against Germany has run high, not
only because scores of Chinese on the
way to Europe have lost their lives
through German submarine operations,
but from the memory of the kaisers
order to the Boxer punitive force to
make the word German" dreaded In
China for century and the seizure
by Germany of the whole province of
Shantung for the murder Of two mis-
sionaries.
Seizure of the German ships may be
taken by Germany as an act of war as
in the case of Portugal. China's &C
ton may be followed by seizure of Ger
man property in China, which is very
extensive. In addition to all the con-
cessions held by the Germans in Chi
nese cities which 1t is presumed will
he seized as quasi-public property,
there are extensive private German
holdings in China. Latest figures show
there are about 5000 German civil
lians scattered throughout the republic,
but II is not known whether they will
be interned
China's action is expected to have
far-reaching effect on far eastern his
tory. as 1t aligns her with Japan and
the other entente powers. German
trade, which before the war had be-
come the most dangerous competitor to
British and Japanese business in
China, amounted to about 20 per cent
of Japan's trade and offered tempt
ing prize for the latter.

GERMANS FALLING BACK
Advance Rapid on Both Banks Of
somme, British Going Through
Sixteen Mile Front and French
Advancing Four Miles.

London.-The British and French
troops are sweeping forward in the
Somme and Disc sectors In France,
and the German retreat, which at
first was slow and on narrow fronts,
seems to be gaining momentum.
The latest advance by the British
was made over front of sixteen
miles and by the French along a front
of about fifteen miles, and the entente
allies have penetrated German posi-
tions in this new operation to a depth
of from two to four miles.
Bapaume, for many months de-
scribed as German stronghold. now
is In the hands of the British troops,
having been wrested from the Ger
mans after what the British war office
describes as stiff fighting. 1t is mass
of ruins.
From Bapaume the fortified lines
newly acquired by the British extend
to the western outskirts of Moncby-
au-Bois. From south of Peronne, the
British have drawn a new line as far
as Fresnes. In all. they have taken
possession of fourteen villages in their
new advance.
The French have taken up a new
line between Andechy and the Disc
and have occupied the important town
of Roye, where they were enthusiast
tically greeted by the remaining civil
population, whom the Germans left
behind in their withdrawal and have
reached certain points along the IA
nous Roye.Noyon road.
In the early operations. one by one,
small villages were evacuated by the
Germans, whose withdrawal was slow
ly and watchfully followed by the Brit
ish, consolidation of the new positions
and preparations for a further for.
ward movement being most carefully
made. In the last few days, both the
retreat and advance respectively have
been considerably accelerated.

TRA|NMENW|
8-H0UR FIGHT
Managers Yield and the Men
Gain Goodly Portion of
Their Demands.
THE TENSION RELIEVED
Adamson Basic Eight-Hour Day VIII
Go Into Effect Regardless Of the
Decision Of the Supreme
Court.

New York.-The threatened ma
tonal railway strike has been called
off, 1t being announced officially by
an official of the conference commit
tee Of railroad managers at 12:45
o'clock Monday morning that the
brotherhood had been granted prac-
tically everything provided in the
Adamson law.
The decision reached by the man
ayers at their midnight conference
means that the brotherhoods have
won an important victory although it
does not bring them all their original
demands.
The men will get their present pay
for ten hours for eight hours work
under the agreement. These conces-
sions on the part of the managers are
virtually what the employees con-
tended they would gain under the
Adamson law II 1t were declared con-
stitutional.
The formal letter in which the set
tlemnt was made was signed by Elisha
Lee, chairman of the managers COM
I'm the national crisis precipitated
by events of which we heard Sunday
afternoon the national conference COM
mite of railroads joins with you in
the conviction that neither at home
nor abroad should there be fear or
hope that the efficiency operations Of
the railroads of the country will be
hampered or impaired,
Therefore you are authorized to
assure the nation there will be no
strike and as basis for such assur-
ance We hereby authorize the commit
tee of the council of national defense
to grant to the employees who are
about to strike whatever adjustment
your committee deems necessary to
guarantee the uninterrupted and eff.
fcient operation of the railroads as an
indispensable arm of national de-
| fense."
The announcement of the managers
that they had yielded apparently
came as a surprise to the brotherhood
| chiefs, for they were in bed when
summoned to the conference room.
! Earlier in the evening there had bee:i
distinctly pessimistic feeling as to
| the prospect for averting strike. Up
| to that hour the railroads had refused
to make the concessions granted and
the brotherhoods had stood fast to
their determination to strike unless
they won their demands either by the
supreme court declaring the Adamson
law constitutional or by their en-
ployers granting them the eight-hour
day.

E|GHT-HOUR LAW
HELD VALID BY
SUPREME COURT
JUDGES IN SIX TO THREE YER
DICT UPHOLD THE ADAMsoN
LAW AS CONSTITUTIONAL.
IN Its Decision, However, the Court
Rules That Employees CT Public
Service Corporations May Not
Strike In Concert.

Washington. q vote OF six to
three, the Supreme court on March
10 upheld the right of congress 70
legislate along any lines designed TO
meet a public emergency. when II up.
held the Adamson eight.hour law for
railway employees.
In its decision, however, the court
made the most radical advance In It's
history when II ruled that the en-
ployees of public service organizations
have not the right to strike in con-
cert.
"That right" declared Chief Justice
White in enunciating what may yet be
characterized as revolutionary law
and lead directly to public ownership
OF public utilities, is necessarily sur
rendered when the men are engaged
in public service. They are compar-
able to soldiers in the ranks, who, in
the presence of enemies of their coun.
try, may not desert"
The decision was not really neces.
sary at this time, inasmuch as the
railway strike situation had been ad.
justed in New York earlier in the
day.
Justices Pitney, Day and Vandevan.
ter dlssented from the majority and
held that the law was wage increase
law and no proper regulation of com.
merce under the constitution. Justice
McKenna, concurring with the major.
ity. held that II involved simply the
fixing OF hours of labor.
Justice Pitney, for himself and JUS
tice Vandevanter, delivered dissent.
ing opinion, in which he expressed
concurrence in the view held by JUS
tice Day that the Adamson law was
unconstitutional, because congress, al
though confessedly not in possession
OF the information necessary for in.
telligent and just treatment Of the
controversy between carriers and
trainmen. arbitrarily imposed upon
the carriers an enormous cost of an
experimental increase in wages, with
out providing for any compensation
to be paid in case the investigation
should determine the Improperly Of
the increase.
The installation of the eight-hour
day for trainmen will. II is asserted
affect more than 100000 railway men
directly. The new wage scale will
cost the railroads OF the country ap
proximately s50000,000 annually. The
back pay from January l which the
men will receive will total in the
neighborhood of twelve or thirteen
million dollars.
The court decision is regarded as a
great victory for the railway EN-.
ployees in their fight for an eight-hour
work day, and there will be no strike
Under the agreement reached be
tween the railroads and the men in
volved. the men will get an eight-houl
day, and time and one-eighth for over
time work. This was the only point
ON which the men yielded. They hac
originally demanded basis of time
and one-half for overtime.
