REPUBLICANS BEGIN TO
 CRITICIZE WILSON'S ACTION

A dubious note came from the capitol, where several republican members of Congress expressed fear that the task was too big for the government to han de efficiently under war conditions and others criticized the appointment of Sec retary McAdoo as director general.
 The labor question under government operation was discussed with President Wilson during the day by heads of the four railway brotherhoods, who renewed their pledges of loyalty to government administration They spent about an hour and half with the President, and it is understood they received assur- ances that most railway employees would not be liable to the next or even the second draft call by being placed in the socond draft classification

M'AnOp. HAS NOT NAMED
 HIS STAFF AS YET

Mr. McAdoo said today he had given almost no thought to the personnel of his staff and was not prepared to out line the details of his administration. He is determined, however. to avoid dis rupting any railroad organization. or any agencies already developed which can lend efficiency to the new order.
 Although the railroad war board, aft CT being in executive session all day, issued no statement commenting on gov ernment operation, railway executives indicated privately they were well pleased with the promised situation and optimism was reflected in the unusual rise in railroad securities on stock ex- changes. Hundreds of telegrams of con- graduation poured in upon Mr. Me Adoo.

STATEMENT IS ISSUED BY NEW RAIL DIRECTOR


 public utterance since his appointment last night, in statement saying that at least until he has time to mature his plans and policies, railroad operation s.will be conducted through existing rail- road organizations"
 ssThe new task is of great magnitude and difficulty" said MT. McAdoo.' Tt cannot be done in moment, and 1t cam not be done at all unless the people of tha United States. as well as the officers and employees of the railroads, give to the railroad director their intelligent and patriotic support. earnestly seek the co-operation and assistance of every good citizen in this great work.
 OPERATION OF RAILROADS
 AS UNIT IS THE PLAN
 .aThe operation of the railroads as q thoroughly unified system Is of funda- mental importance to the success of the war. Without 1t we cannot get the ef- fectiye use of our resources. The su- preme test in this war will probably come in the year 1918. Victory will depend upon our speed and efficiency. We can get neither speed nor efficiency unless the railroads are equal to the demands of the situation
 II can only say at the moment that the problem will be taken hold of vig- orously and that plans and policies will b6 announced from time to timo as rapidly as 1t IS possible to mature

Call British Tanks "WiIIies."

During the summer of 1916 an en-
emy agent, trying to tap the wires in
England might have been mystifed
to pick up such messages as: Twelve
Willies reach you today" or "Send
tails for six females writes Col. E.
D. Swinton in the Worlds Work.
"Willie," a pet cognomen adopted as
suitable for the telephone and obviat-
ing the use of a code for telegrams,
was suggested by the fact that the
first experimental 'Landship" COM
pleted, though equally malevolent, was
smaller and less powerful for evil than
its immediate successor, eventually
the type adopted. When the two crea-
lures were togther they gave the ludi-
crous impression Of being child and
parent OF q monstrous and evil brood.
Hence, naturally, ''Little Willie" and
+sBig Willie" The "Big Wilhes" were
also somewhat unbiologicaliy classi-
1ed as males and females, according
30 their armament. incidentally, to
help to conceal the. destination Of the
tanks at the stage when any illusion
as to their purpose was preciuded'
they were painted with the inscription
~With Care. To Petrograd," in large

Disregard Judges Charge.
After the coroner's jury had brought
in the verdict: "Justifable homicide
in self-defense," Lieutenant Malcolm
was instantly arrested and arraigned
at Marylebone police court.
Then came the trial by jury at Old
Bailey before Justice Mccarthy. In
opening for the defense Attorney
Simon declared:
eve do not appeal to the 'unwrit-
ten law but only to justice. Lieu-
tenant Malcolm acted the only course
open to him to save not only his wife's
honor but her body and soul from de-
struction at the hands of ? I infamous
scoundrel."
Justice Mccarthy in summing up
vigorously attacked the ''unwritten
law"
1.-THE unwritten law" his honor de-
clared, opposes the elementary prin-
ciples Of British justice that the hus-
band has no legal property in his wife's
body; that she is mistress of her own
destiny and if she chooses to give her
self to another the husband is not en-
titled to punish the other man."
In spite of this summing up the jury
ordered the defendant acquitted.

DENVER MONKEY A RUGGER
Simian Causes Sensation When He
Boldly Embraces Young Woman
Passing Along Street.

The lovabie monkey is loose. When
he swung from the low branches of a
tree at Twelfth avenue and Detroit
street and threw his arms about the
neck of a young woman pedestrian
there was a lot of commotion, says
the Denver Post. Aside from break
ing the spooning laws, the monkey
shouldn't have chosen broad daylight.
4 scream from tie young woman
brought residents to their doors. They
saw her running in one direction and
the monkey in another. 1t was diff
cult for them to ascertain which was
the more frightened-the young wom-
an or the lovable monkey.
PatrolmeI from the Capitol Hill sta
ton have been pursuing the lovable
monk all over the Montclair district.
Where the monkey came from is a
question. The zoo keeper at City park
says all his monkeys are "just where
they should be-; that none of them
would be ungentlemanly enough to
leave home and try to hug pedes-
TRANS.
Residents of the Montclair district
have Joined in the hunt. A tree-to-
tree search is being made by the posse,
including an examination Of the nurs-
cry at Eighth avenue and Clayton
street, where the affectionate simian
was last sighted. The monkey sought
temporary haven on the front porch
of G. A. Clason's home, at 945 Detroit
street, but when an attempt was made
60 capture him he curled up his tall
and departed suddenly.
In addition to the frightened woman
pedestrian, the monkey was scea hug
ging several trees. Jnst now he Is
hugging some secluded spot. Residents
hope he is apprehended, as they do not
want to be monkeyed with any more.

What Women Did In Civil War.

Women all over the United States
formed societies and made bandages
and comforts Of various kinds for the
soldiers, but their work, too, lacked
the direction and uniformity which are
necessary for prompt and effective as
sistance. In the Civil war, country
women were especially generous In
contributing time and labor to the
cause of helping the sick and wounded.
In many instances the men were not
given enough green food, and farmers
contributed potatoes and fresh vege-
tables in large quantities, which fre-
quently saved a camp from scurvy and
other diseases.-Farm and ,Fireside.

LIFT YOUR coRNs
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells How To Loosen A Tender Corn
Or CaIIus so it Lifts Out
Without Pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, lifts off with the
fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it Is ap,
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or
callus without inflaming or even irri
tating the surrounding tissue or skin
A small bottle of freezone will cost
very little at any OF the drug stores,
but will positively rid ones feet OF
every hard or soft corn or hardened
callus. If your druggist hasn't any
freezone he can get it at any wholesale
drug house for you.-(Advt.)
