Baron von Stumm, the German under-secretary for foreign affairs, is quoted as saying, in regard to re- ports that crews of German vessels interned in the United States were having their liberties restricted. eve do not wish system of warfare against non-combatants such as Great Britain introduced by the internment
 of civilians" Presumably, the Ger man under-secretary would prefer a
 system of warfare which would per- init German secret agents, masquer- ading as civilians, to roam at will about the United States dynamiting
 and firing bridges and plants. There ;is'sno other conclusion to be reached from the statement, and from the pro. test by Germany against the deten.-
 tion in the United States of Franz Bopp, erstwhile German consul-gen- |eral at San Francisco, and others, convicted of bomb plots.

Sure! High Heels Cause Corns But
 Who Cares Now


 Because style decrees that women crowd and buckle up their tender toes in high heel footwear they suffer from corns, then they cut and trim at these painful pests which merely makes the corn grow hard. This suicidal habit may cause lockjaw and women are warned to stop it.
 A few drops of a drug called freez- one applied directly upon sore corn gives quick relief and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts out without pain. Ask the drug store man for a quarter of an ounce of freezone, which costs very little but is sufficient to re- move every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
 This drug is an ether compound and dries in moment and simply shrivels up the corn without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue o1 skin. Clip this out and pin on your Wife'S dresser.-Advt.

BETTER EDUCATION
 MOVEMENT TO .GO ON
President of Roanoke College Says Boys and Girls Richest Undevel-
 oped Resources.

Cumberland Gap, Tenn, Jan. 10.- The general movement for Southern educational efficiency must go on, de- clared Dr. J. A. Morehead, president of Roanoke college, of Salem, Va, in an address at the opening here today of celebration of the twentieth an niversary of Lincoln Memorial Uni versity. He spoke of boys and girls as the richest undeveloped resources of the South and said:
 "In recent years, the realization of the value of this human material to our great country, if properly devel- oped, has led to exceptional activity by individual philanthropists, by the nation, and .bv the southern states themselves to promote the cause of liberal and general popular educa
 tio min South. The primary schools have been improved, high school sys- tems have ben developed, and the means of technical, college and uni increased during the past ten years in all the southern states. The work has by no means ben completed but been made in the direction of good SCduOdIOS, we'll pIOVCIl IlCCIlOuS, dIlu adequate resources for efficient edu- cational work and universal educa- tional opportunity.
 However, because the development of school in a community under the laws of most states depends to con- siderable extent upon the initiative of the people there and because many sections of the South have suffered peculiar poverty, educational progress has been quite unequal. This is par ticularly true of wide districts of the Appalachian district of this southern part of the North American republic These people of the mountains have been apart from modern educational and economic development. They have escaped the blight of dissipating in- fluences of the civilization of the great centers of population, but they have missed their currents of inspiration
 training and culture. Many of the mountain people have thus been iso.

RUSSIA IND CONSTANTINOPLE

For Russia to posses Constantl-f nople would be bar to future peace, something for which all the Euro pean belligerents purport to be fight ing.
 1t is said England and France are. now satisfied to let Russia have Con. stantinople as a reward for her par-i ticipation and sacrifices in the great war. However, as the Entente hasn't got Constantinople to give, it must appear more like a sop to dlscour- age Russia from considering making a separate peace. The word Con-. stantinople" is dangled before the ears of the Russian peasants ani makes them willing to die to get it.
 eThe Dardanelles control the traffic from the Danube. For Russia to possess the key to the straits would mean that she control the traffic out and in the Danube. This would be a perpetual irritant to the Central em-i pires, the Balkan states and Greece, the latter state yisioning a hope that some day Greek king might hold sway over the magic straits. like King Constantine did in days of yore.
 .Fixing" the boundaries of Europe. and the spheres of influence" so that jealousies and dissatisfaction may not arise in the future is a tremendous ly serious task before the peace con- ference when it comes. It is idle to speak of Conclusive peace" if things are to be done that swil make for future Mars. In the past able Russians like the first Czar Nicholas and; the great General Skobeleff shaye admitted that "a Russian garrison tn Constantinople would mean perpetu- al warfare unless the power of tho states along the Danube were smashed-and that. is out4of the ques- ton at present.
 A neutral area along the Dardan- elles is more likelysto satisfy all and not be an incentive for future wars. It probably will be an important fac tor in the peace discussions at the conference which is to come soonersor later.

OPERA AMID WAR.

Above the shouts of battle comes the information that German con- posers are not permitting the great war to interfere with the production of operas, such masters as Max Schillings, Felix Weingartner, Eugene d'Albert, Erich Krongold and Richard Strauss being among the number who have finished works recently. These men, of course, are past military age, as composers usually are before they Eare able to write the kind of music that attracts international attention.
 The arts of civilization seeminly operate in the midst of the forces that tear down civilization.
 And, strange to say, none of their titles have anything to do with the martial tread, nor the belching of cannon, though the music of some of them usually sounds that way.

 TROUBLES FOR
 DELAY IN SHIPS
Vice Chairman of Board Says Strikes Lost Half
 Million Working Days.

Washington, Dec 26.-Labor troub- les were blamed for much of the de lay ill the government shipbuildina program by Raymond B. Stevens, vice chairman of the shipping board, tes- tiyfing today in the senate investI- gations since the United States went to war, MT. Stevens said, ship yards have lost a total 536.992 working days by strikes and other disputes, this he figured represents the work Of 10000 men for a month. Mir. Stevens said the situation is improving by reason of measures taken by the board to adjust differences wherever they arise. Senators tC9k lively in ation and the inquiry turned to the whole subject of labor and it's po- sition during the war. Questions as to the wisdom of the conscription of labor for ship yard and other govern ment work drew from iMr Stevens emphatic opposition to any attempt to force civilians to work under pre- scribed conditions and government fixed wages, telling of the boards work ill establishing, with the aid of the labor department, employment Stevens said that it's addition to their institution, also the board hoped to obtain from other industries as many men as it needs, he added that an appropriation would be needed to provide housing facilities at is olated plants.
