Arouses Enthusiasm by Speech De-

American Bar Association.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Sept. T.
Elihu Root was the guest Of honor at
a dinner given by the American Bar
association.
Chief Justice Andrew A. Bruce, of
the supreme court Of North Dakota,
one of the speakers, aroused enthus-
iasm when he said:
Il speak from the viewpoint of the
foreign born. I and millions of others
like me, came to this country alone
without money and friends. We
sponged on all that America had, her
free lands, her free schools and above
all her spirit of open-hearted COM
radeship. She owed us nothing but
she gave us all. We swore allegiance
to her flag, her Constitution and her
laws. We would be recreants, in
CRATES, perjurers and ours if in the
hour of her need we counselled with
her enemies and were disloyal to her
cause

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up corn or callus 50 it lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops Of freezone applied directly on
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn OF
hardened callus 1oosens so it can b
lifted off, root and ALL, without pain
A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corr
or callus. This should be tried, as II
is inexpensive and is said not to irri'
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezon1
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-advs

the Alliance was made a permanent
organization at q history making ses-
sion here.
The so-called Peoples Council had
been crying for an expression of Amer
ica's war aims. AS an effective answer
to that cry-unwarranted though 1t
may be-the conference Of labor rep
resentatives and real Socialists re-
stated the things which the country
is fighting for, pointing out that the
President has repeatedly stated them
with singular lucidity and precision.
1--WE affirm that the aims and pur-
poses of this nation have been stated
with sufficient clearness and definite
ness to satisfy every honest mind, and
that it is our profound conviction that
the purposes for which we are to
serve and sacrifice are the great pur-
poses of international democracy.
War Aims and Greed.
These then are the war aims OF the
United States, says the Alliance for
Labor and Democracy, as culled from
President Wilson's state papers-the
war message, the note to Russia and
the reply to the Pope:
Recognition of the rights and liber-
ties Of small nations.
Recognition of the principle that
government derives it's just power
from the consent Of the governed.
Preparations for wrongs done and
the erection of adequate safeguards to
prevent their being committed again.
No indemnities except as payment
for manifest wrongs. >.-.
- No people to be forced under SOW
ereignty under which it does not wish
to live.
No territory to change hands ex-
cept for the purpose of securing
those who inhabit it fair chance of
life and liberty.
No readjustments of power except
as will tend to secure the future
peace of the world and the future well
fare and happiness of it's peoples.
A genuine and practical cooperation
of the free peoples Of the world in
some common covenant that will CON-
bine their forces to secure peace and
Justice in the dealings of nations with
one another.

Food 10 Proposed.
Washington, Sept. 8.-Shortage OF
ocean-going tonnage may cause the
United States to seize some 100000
tons of neutral shipping now in Amer
lean ports. Dutch and other Scandi-
navian ships which are loaded with
food stuffs may be required, it is said,
to discharge their cargoes and go to-
Australia and Java for wheat and SUI
gar.
International law, officials point out,
gives belligerents the right to COM
mandeer neutral ships whenever the
emergency of war require it.
Under this Interpretation the Ameri-
can government has just seized sew
eral Austrian ships which took refuge
in American ports when the European
war broke out.
