Practice Gained In "Pelota" Is
Help To French Grenade Throwers

temporary one The French soon or
ganized a counter-attack with gren-
AIDES and bayonets.
The hand grenades we're thrown by
them with such precision owing to
their life long practice at their IA
vorite game that they forced the Ger
mans out again rapidly and In the
fury of their fight advanced beyond
their original line.
On the right of this Basque line the
famous Chasseurs had an equally Sc
we're fight with the attacking Germans
who were eventually thrown back aft
er suffering great losses.
Must Firt at Random.
Not an inch Of the ground gained
by the French in the first movement
of the offensive has been lost. The
German artillery is compelled to fire
almost at random, since the French
possesses all the most valuable obser-
vatories, whence they can watch the
movements of their enemies in the
valley of the Ailette down below and
on the crest at the other side, which
before the French offensive was the
third German position.
Information gathered from the pris-
oners shows that the German high
command cannot reconcile itself to
the loss OF Craonne and the Chemin-
Des-Dames, and the officers of the
fighting units have been ordered re-
peatedly to retake them at any cost.

Hostile Feeling In
America Small, Says
Japanese Professor

TOXIC, July 9.-That the anti-Jap-
anese sentiment in the United States
is not SO strong as is believed in
Japan is the opinion Of DR.. Waichiro
Okada, Professor of Medicine at the
Imperial University, who recently re-
turned from a trip to America. The
professor said that the Japanese were
welcomed in the United States, gen
orally speaking.
1t was true that among the labor
element in the West the situation was
different, but he found that the ma
jority of the American people do not
subscribe to the anti-Japanese agita
tion in Western states.
He added that some of the Ameri
can physicians were even suggesting
medical cooperation between Amer
leans we're recognizing that the Jap
anese possessed certain excellent quail
tiles in medical science.

FRENCH FRONT. June IA. BY Mail.
-Grenades thrown with wonderful
precision by devotees of "pelota," the
national game OF Cuba. Of Spain and
of the Basque country in the south
west of France have done much to-
ward defeating the almost incessant
the Plateau of California, overshadow
ing Craonne. and on the Classmates
plateau, further west along the Chem
in-Des-Dames, which are joined by a
narrow crest.
These men, whose homes are in the
Pyrenees, have fought gallantly ever
since the outbreak of hostilities. 1t
was they who took Craonne, the key
position of the eastern end Of the
in-Des-Dames, and it was they
who were in possession OF the town
and its vicinity when the Germans
made their repeated efforts to recon-
Quer the grounds to which their COM
rades attach SO much Importance.
The latest German effort was made
on June 8, when General Won Bohm
with two fresh divisions of Rheinish
troops, the 18th and 41st who had had
been just hurried back from the Ru-
manian front, assaulted the California
and the Classmates plateau with a
suddenness and fury such as has rare
ly been noted on the part of the Ger
mans.
The attack opened with a most in
tense artillery bombardment, under
which, however, the Basques sat tight
in their trenches improvised out of
shell holes joined together. When
the awful hurricane Of shells ceased,
the occupants of the trenches saw ad-
vancing toward them wave after wave
of German infantry.
They crossed the desiccated ground
elbow to elbow their numbers far in
excess of those of the French defend
ers. Not a sign however, was given
by the Basques of yielding the ground
until the German ranks opened and
brought to view men equipped with
implements throwing liquid flames.
Retirement Temporary.
Then and only did the Basques fall
back at those portions of their lines
which were sprinkled with blazing
spirits. This retirement was but a

Hurrah! HoW's This
Cincinnati authority says corns
dry up and lift out
with fingers.


Hospital records show that every
time you cut corn you invite lock-
jaw or blood poison, which is need
less. says a Cincinnati authority, who
tells you that a quarter ounce of a
drug called freezone can be obtained
at little cost from the drug store but
is sufficient to rid ones feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus.
You simply apply a few drops of
freezone on tender, aching corn and
soreness is instantly relieved. Short
ly the entire corn can be lifted out,
root and all, without pain.
This drug is sticky but dries at once
and is claimed to just shrivel up any
corn without inflaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.
If your wife wears high heels she
will be glad to know of this.

fetal outline of the method by
which military registration is to

function of the federal government
will be supervision through pro-

The article follows:
There was a time when the

people to take a compulsory SER

is put into the hands OF the peo?
