WEAR THOSE SHOES
THAT TORTURED YOU
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up a corn 50 it lifts out.

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 a
tender, aching corn stops soreness at
once and soon the corn loosens SO it
can be lifted out, root and all, without
pain.
A quarter of an ounce of freezone
costs very little at any drug store, but
is sufficient to take off every hard or
soft corn or callus. This should be
tried, as it is inexpensive and is said
not to inflame or even irritate the sur
rounding tissue or skin--Adv.

j. S. AND AUSTRIA
LIKELY TO BREAK
Sea Warfare Principles Out
lined in Today's Note Can
not Be Accepted.
THREAT SEEN IN "PIRACY"

Austria's note declaring adhesion to
the general principles of unrestricted
submarine warfare holds out little, if
any, hope that break between the
United States and the Vienna govern
ments may be avoided. The complete
official view of the Austrian communi-
cation will not be made known until
after President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing have carefully studied the Of
fetal text. which was before them to-
day. Also. the subject was scheduled
to come up for discussion at todays
meeting of the cabinet. 1t was con-
sidered probable that the course of the
United States toward Austria might,

Austria's effort TO substitute for the
individual warning every merchant
ship is entitled by international law
to receive before being torpedoed

who have heen suspected for some time,
received 500, 900, and the Hindu. posing
as a Persian merchant, obtained "a pass
port which enabled him to get TO Ber-
lin. In this connection an additional
charge of fraudulentIy obtaining a
passport has been made against the
physician.
DR.. Chakiaberty, according to al
legged confession. revealed his plans of
an invasion Of India to certain officials
in Berlin and then returned to New
York. where he. and Won Igel prepared
literature priIted in various native
India languages. In the house in West
126th street where the two men were
arrested today the police seized large
quantities OF litera ture and found also
a complete chemical laboratory
After the literature was prepared, ac-
cording to the police, DR.. Chakiaberty
and Sokunner employed as their agent
an influential Chimaman whom they
sent to his native country with the idea
of interesting his government in pla n
to ship arms and ammunition from the
United States to China, where. with the
Chinese governments permi Ssion. they
were to be stored until the time set for

BRITISH WIN APPAM CASE

British claimants of the German
prize ship Appam at Newport News,
Va. today won their suit in the United
States Supreme Court to regain posses
sion of the vessel and cargo. In sus-
tanning the British libel attachment
suits against the Appam and cargo
the court held that the British owners
are entitled to restitution because the
Appam violated American neutrality.
Treaties of 1893 and 1928 between the
United States and Germany, the court
held, through Justice Day. do not entitle
German prizes. unaccompanied by the
'captor warship. to indefinite American
asylum. jurisdiction of American courts
over the Appam was upheld.
Findings of federal Judge Waddii of
Virginia that the Appam violated
American neutrality after being
brought into Hampton Roads a year
ago by Capt Hans Berg and a German
prize crew were sustained and approx ed
by the Supreme Court.
Following the breach of German
American relations. the German prize
crew was removed from the Appam
and taken to Philadelphia. the ship and
cargo being held in custody of the
Virginia federal court under $1,000
600 bond given ty the German claim

Holds Sea War Different

Although the Austrian communicate ton
declares that there obviously is no rea-
son TO allow different principles for war
on land and sea- the position of the
United states is that different principles
actually 60 govern because of different
conditions and the United States has
contended and the various belligerents
have. during the course of the war. yir-
tuaiiy admitted that during hostlities in
ternatonal law cannot be changed with
out the consent of all the nations
Another portion of the conlmunica-
ton which undoubtedly will not meet
with the approval of the United States
is that having :" do with defensively
armed merchant ships. Austria's asser-
tion that her previous assurances did
not apply to armed merchant vessels
was received with some surprise The
broad declaration that armed mereha mt
men are to be regarded as pirate ves-
sells. which may be destroyed was re-
2arded as being especially significant in
view of the intentions of the United
States regarding armament for its mer-
chant shipping.
Notwithstanding the perplexity Gre
ated in minds of officials with a por-
tion Of the Austrian argument the ex-
treme reluctance felt here for a break
that Austria also does not desire it, w i'll
assure the note a most friendly read

harmonic the relations Of the two gov
ernments if it can be done without sur
render by either.
