that she had already made all the
to her, and that what sl,e most
wanted was an orderly, peaceful
world in which to enjoy and develop
her possessions. Her situation in
clined her to q liberal, peaceful pro-
gram; and it was highly probable
that she would have the wisdom to
SEQ it.
For hundred years British naval
supremacy put no obstacle in the way
of the United States. We came to
accept it with no more misgiving
than over the geological possibility
that an earthquake may happen in
the Mississippi Valley. But If Ger
many could starve England this
naval supremacy would undoubtedly
end, and sea power would shift to
the hands of new nation, formed on
concepts of conquest, ambitious for
territorial expansion. Germany reiec-
ted proposals for reduction of arm
aments, preferring the system that
kept the Continent of Europe armed
to the last available man, each nation
watching it's neighbors, finger on
trigger, and straining its resources
TO muster more battalions.
Sea power in Gcrmany's hands
would ut once extend that system of
competitive armament over the world.
Very few events of political nature
could give the United States greater
ground for apprehension than
transfer of naval supremacy from
England to Germany.

RED CROSS BANDAGES
POISONED BY SPIES

Philadelphia, March 2S.-Albert
w. Staub, Director of the Atlantic
Division of the American Red Cross
addressing the local Red Cross or
ganization today, said:
You women of Philadelphia must
clean house. Go over the list of your
members and make sure of the low
atty of every one. Under no circum-
stances allow any one in your board
rooms unless you know who they are.
Keep personc out of the workrooms
who have no right to be there.
III tell you why am insisting on
such precautions. Recently 1 found
in New Jersey town bandages
which had been prepared at one of
the Red Cross headquarters and
which had been soaked in poisonous
chemicals and then dried, SO that
when they were put to use they
would kill the person on whom they
were used. In addition, some of the
dressings had been filled with ground
glass, SO that when they were used
on open wounds they would cut and
cause suppurating sores.
These discoveries were made
within the last three weeks. The re-
suits of our Investigations have been
turned over to the Department of
Justice, and that department is about
to institute prosecutions. You do not
realize the desperate extremes to
which those who are against us will
CO."
The Executive Committee of the
local organization later had n pro-
tracted session behind closed doors.

EDUCATION CHEAP

According to statistics complied by
the faculty committee on Student
Self-Help, Il university student paid
his total expenses for the year with
S145. Fifteen more lived on less than
5000, and ~ said that their expense,
were under $3.50.
These facts prove that it is not
only the rich that can come to the
university. The boy with limited
means is given every help.
The Y. M. C. A. has an employment
bureau which finds work for students.
Thirty-four per cent of University
of Virginia students earned more than
$500 each last session to help pay
their way through.
Opportunities for obtaining work
are open for the most part to stu
dents who have been at the univer-
sity for one or more years. The most
pressing need is for the Few men to
earn at least their board. The only
practical suggestion that has been
made toward solving this problem is
to. employ student walters in the
school dining hall. The students them
selves are overwhelmingly in favor
OF 1T. Out of 29O votes cast recently
go were in favor of student walters
This form of employment, to help
deserving students, has been adopted
by the colleges and universities all
over the country and the University
Of Virginia will only be keeping pace
with other democratic institutions.
The committee on Student Self
Help is composed Of Dr.. l. F. Lewis,
Dr.. W. A. Kepner, W. N. Neff, W. S.
Rodman, j. S. Lapham, and W. S.

WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply few drops then lift corns or
calluses Oft with fingers
No pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right zap and lift out, without
particle Of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is
compound of ether discovered by n
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for n small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
trifie, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callus will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels them
without even irritating the surround
ing skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no
soreness or smarting when applying
1T or afterwards. If your druggist
don't have freezone have him order
it for you.

SEA POWER

(The Saturday Evening Post.)
Since the Battle of Trafalgar,
England's supremacy at sea has not
been challenged. For n hundred years
the British Navy has been the
highest weapon that any modern
nation has possessed. 1t is doubtful
that even the Rome of Augustus
could assert SO decisive superiority
over any probable combination.
On the whole, no invincible weapon
was ever used with greater mode
ration. The period of British naval
supremacy has been the period of
evergrowing freedom of The seas.
Trade of other nations multiplied
undisturbed. England adopted the
most liberal navigation policy ever
known, throwing open even the home
coastwise trade to all vessels with
out restriction.
England's material interest re-
puired moderation; and the fact that
moderation best served her own
material interests was the surest
guaranty of n continuation of that
policy. Years ago her ablest men saw

OUR BANKS ARE
FULL OF MONEY

Washington, March 27.4-Amer-
lean National Banks have set new
high record for resources, again re-
yealing the United States as incl.r,-
world.
Comptroller Williams announced
tonight that on March 5, the date of
the last bank call, the assets of the
national banks aggregated more than
S1G,O00,000, exceeding by over $4,000
600 the combined resources of the
Bank of England, the Bank of
France. the Bank of italy, the Bank
of Spain, thcBank of Norway, the
Bank of Sweden, the Swiss National
Bank, the National Bank of Den
mark, the Bank of Japan and the
Reichsbank of Germany.
Reports of national banks in the
central reserve cities and reserve
cities throughout the country, as of
March 5, just compiled" said the
Comptroller's statement. "Snow that
on that date the resources of these
banks were $21O,0oO,OOO larger than
ever before in their history, the previ-
GUS high water mark having been
reached Nov. II, 1916, the increase as
compared with Dec. 81, 1916, was
$3.50, 100000.
"The reports have thus far been
compiled for only about one-flfth of
the country banks, or banks outside
of the reserve cities. If the assets of
the other country banks have in
creased at the same rate as those
thus far complied, the total increase
IN country hank resources will be ap-
proximately $250,000,000, rs com
pared with Dec. 81 On this basis the
increase in the resources of all
national banks in central reserve and
reserve cities and country banks from
Dec n to March will approximate
100000, making the total assets
of all national banks March 5, con-
siderably in excess of S16,00O,OOO,-
Since 1913 the increase has been
about 100000,
1.-THE amount of bonds of foreign
Governments and of other securities
held by our national banks on March
8 was approximately S38S,0OO,0 900, OF
but little more than 2 per cent, of
their total resources"
