Arrangements Being Made for

Now. however, difficulties are
smoothing out and arrangements are
being made for the wedding on We'd

only a little company OF relatives

When Mr.. Smith and his pretty
bride left town for their wedding
trip, they were still doubtful as to
whether Mr.. Smith was to be as
signed to permanent duty at the Nor
weEian legation or whether they
might expect to sail for Norway al
most Immediately. Since their de
parture, however, word has come that
Mr.. Smith is to return to Christiania
TO take up work at the foreign office
The detail is considered a compli-
ment, but-well. we all hate to see
our American girls go so far away.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith probably will cut
short their honeymoon, as they eX-

Officers Anxious to Sing
"KaIser Biz Song.

The meh themselves were anxious
to include in that part of the program
Kaiser Bill" a song which has made
a great hit in the camp, which has al
ready gone across. and which is being
sung by our troops somewhere IN
France.
The tune is very catchy and the
words go something like this:
Poor old Kaiser Bill, poor old Kaiser
Bill,
Uncle Sam, he's got the infantry,
He's got the cavalry, he's got artil-
lery:
And when, by gosh, we all get to
Germany.
God help Kaiser Bill
When Colonel Fenton. for some .rea-
son, objected to the ditty's being sung
at the exercises, a small mutiny
threatened among the men, who
haven't all quite grasped the fact yet
that what the commanding officer
says goes. even about such trivial
matters as songs.
The Fort Myer camp was very fond
OF and rather proud of that song, for
1t originated in the camp. The old
Fourteenth company, late the Eighth
infantry company, and the company
just across the street from 1t used ~
get together some times in the eve
ming and sing, and it was during one
of those gatherings that Kaiser Bill"
came into existence. Ben Wiesblattt,
now Lieut.. Willard B. Wiesblatt, U.
S. r. c., was the moving spirit in all
such concerts, and l suspect him OF
arranging the greater part, at least,
of the song.
There were many affecting scenes
about the camp the morning after the
exercises, when some of the instruc-
tors were presented with handsome
gifts by the companies which they
had trained for three month"; Most
of the instructors were very popular,
and the men were truly sorry to part
with them.

Antisufragists Hit
at Women Who Picket
inFront of White House
By associated Press

Washington, July 2S.-The Ma
tional Association Opposed to Wo-
man Suffrage to-day made public a
letter from Mrs. James W. Wads-
worts, its president, to President
Wilson, protesting against the pick
citing of the White House by suf-
fragists of the Woman's Party and
declaring that the sixteen pickets
were justly sentenced to sixty days
in the workhouse.
LAS a loyal American citizen and
a lifelong resident of the District OF
Columbia write Mrs. Wadsworth,
[ wish, to protest against the wilful
and persistent disregard for law and
order Systematically displayed by
the members of the National Wo-
mans Party.
Your action in pardoning the six
teen women sentenced to Occoquan
was one of clemency and not of JUS
tice. 1t was a proof of your toler-
ance and magnanir1ity and showed
your appreciation not so much OF
woman's rights as of her duty"
Mrs. Wadsworth wrote that the
sixteen women went to the work
house rather than pay fine Ito gain
the notoriety and publicity of such
an action and then with a transpor-
ent mental dishonesty that is al
most inconceivable in persons of nor
NAL intelligence, they advertised
their martyrdom to the cause OF
suffrage"

How To Overcome
Foot Troubles

If you have tired, burning, aching
feet, corns or painful callouses, you
know only too well the misery and
torture that they bring. 1t is unnec-
essary. however, to suffer longer with
any of these foot troubles.
Go to your druggist and get a small
Jar of Ice-Mint. Rub a little of this
cooling, healing. discovery on your
feet Instantly the pain of corns and
callouses vanishes. And shortly the
most stubborn and painful hard corns,
soft corns, corns between the toes, or
aching callouses, will shrivel up and
lift out easily with the fingers, root
and all.
Ice-Mint costs little. is easy and de-
lightful to apply and aside from re-
moving every painful corn or callous
will keep your feet cool, easy and COM
Portable even on the hottest days. Try
1t. There is nothing better.-Adver-

NEW YORK. Oct. 27.-There is more
football this year than ever before. IN

The sport has more active followers

terest is growing stronger. conditions
brought on by the war in colleges
throughout the country have
ed hundreds OF students who would not
nave taken up football to come out for
gridiron practice. Football stars who
nave left college to serve Uncle Sam
are playing the game in every canton
ment camp in the country. Some camps
nave as high as four football teams in
action.
Husky young rockies who never play
ed football before are playing II this
fall in the army camps and on college
gridirons. In other years these young
men did not go in for the pigskin game
because they did not have the oppor-
tunity. Under military regulations
hundreds have turned out for football.
The soldier is red-blooded and full Of
life. He loves sport and needs it. And
football is a red-blooded game. BY the
time the season ends football will have
