SINISTER INFLUENCE Is
BEING PHLT IN AMERICA.

struggle.
INFLUENCE Is
BEING FELT IN AMERICA.
The sinister intrigue is being no
less actively conducted in this coun-
try than in Russia and in every
country in Europe by the agents and
dupes to which the German imperial
government can get access. That
government has many spoloesmen
here, in places high and low. They
have learned discretion. They keep
within the law. 1t is opinion they
utter now, not sedition. They pro-
claim the liberal purposes of their
masters; declare this a foreign war
winch can touch America with no
danger to either her lands or her in
stltutions; set England at the CEN
ter of the stage and talk of her am
bition to assert economic dominion
throughout the world; appeal to our
ancient tradition of isolation in the
politics of the nations; and seek to
undermine the government with
false professions of loyalty to
it's principles.
But they will make no Roadway,
The false betray themselves always
In every accent. 1t Is only friends
and partisans of the German gov
eminent whom We have already iden-
titled who utter these disguised dis
loyalties. The facts are patent to
all the world, and nowhere are they
more plainly seen than in the United
States, where we are accustomed
to deal with facts and not with
sophistries; and the great fact that
stands out above all the rest is that
this is a peoples war. a war for
freedom and justice and self-gov-
eminent amongst all the nations or
the world, a war to make the world
safe for the peoples who live upon
IT and have made Ii their own, the
German people themselves includ-
ed; and that with us rests the choice
to break through all these hyprocri-
sizes and patent cheats and masks or
brute force and help set the world
free, or else stand aside and let II
be dominated a long age through by
sheer weight of arms and the arbi-
trary choices of self-constituted
masters, by the nation which can
maintain the biggest armies and the
most irresistible armaments-a pow
err to which the world has AFFORDED
no parallel and in the fact of which
political freedom must wither and
perish.
For us there is but one choice.
We have made it. Woe be to the
man or group Of men who seek to
stand in our way in this day or
high resolution, when every princi-
pie we hold dearest is to be vindl-
Gated and made secure for the sal
walton of the nations. We are ready
to plead at the bar of history, and
our flag shall wear a new luster
Once more we shall make good with
our lives and fortunes the great
faith to which we were born. and
new glory shall shine in the face OF
our people.

YES! MAGICALLY!
C0RNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You simply say to the drug store man
Give me a quarter of an ounce of
freezone" This will cost very little
but is sufficient to remove every hard
or soft corn from ones feet.
A few drops Of this new ether CON-
pound applied directly upon tender.
aching corn should relieve the sore
ness instantly, and soon the entire corn,
root and all, dries up and can be lift
ed out with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet OF
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that while freezone is
sticky, it dries in a moment, and sim
ply shrivels up the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the surround
ing tissue or skin.
Don't let father die of infection or
lockjaw from whiting at his corns,
but clip this out and make him try

u. S. Steamer Perohte
Goes Down In Second
Attack by a Submarine

WASHINGTON. June 12.-The Amer
lean steamer Petrolite has been sunk
by a German submarine. Consular re-
ports which brought news of the dis
aster today said one boat with eighteen
men. the third mate and the chief en-
gineer had been landed, and two boats
with an unstated number of men were
missing.
The time and place OF the attack
were not given in the dispatches.
The Petrolite, tank steamer. first
figured I'm the news nearly two years
ago: an attack upon her by an Austrian
submarine threatening diplomatic rela-
lions between the Vienna government
and the United States. The ship was
shelled by the submarine and men
aboard her were wounded. The sub
marine sent a crew aboard the vessel
and removed a large quantity of sup
plies. She then was permitted to pro-
coed.
The incident was the subject OF a
series of notes between the United
States and the Austrian government.
The Petrolite was formerly the steam
ship Excelsior. under the German flag,
and was transferred to American regis
try with other ships of the Standard
OIL feet, early in the war. She was
built at Stettin. Germany, in 1898. She
carried oil in bulk.

In the bright sunshine of 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning the members of the

through the gateway at Fort Mcpherson.

Fifteen minutes later they stood be-

stretched from east to west almost as
far as the eye could see.
United States soldiers faced Italian
soldiers, while German sailors watched
1t all and must have wondered greatly

In front of the little group beneath
the shade trees stood Colonel Charles X.
Noyes, commanding the Seventeenth in

Excess Profits Tax
Rate Agreed Upon

WASHINGTON, June 13.-The senate
finace committee hoped to complete to-
day the excess profits and income tax
sections OF the war ervenue bill. Pro-
posals were pending both to substitute
a new section containing much higher
rates on large incomes. and to reduce
surtaxes on incomes above $4,000 be-
low the original house figure.
The committee had to decide on an
excess profits tax rate. which 1t seemed
likely would be about 20 per cent. and
to determine what years profits, or
average of several years profits, shall
be considered the basis for computation
of excess.

PURPOSE OF GERMANY
HAS LONG BEEN AVowED.

The war was begun by the mill
tary masters Of Germany. VINO
proved TO be also the masters or
Austria Hungary. These men have
never regarded nations as peoples
men, women and children or ike
blood and frame as themselves, FOR
whom governments existed and in
whom governments had their lire.
They have regarded them merely as
serviceable organizations which
they could by force or intrigue
bend or corrupt to their own pur-
pose. They have regarded the
smaller states, in particular, ana
the peoples who could be over
wheImed by force, as their natural
tools and instruments of domina-
ton. Hheir purpose has long been
avowed.
The demands made by Austria
upon Serbia were a mere single
step in a plan which compassed
Europe and Asia, from Berlin 10
Bagdad They hoped these de-
mands might not arouse Europe
but they meant to press them
whether they did or not, for they
thought themselves ready for the
final issue of arms.
Their plan was to throw broad
belt of German military power ana
political control across the very
center of Europe and beyond the
Mediterranean into the heart or
Asia; and Austria-Hungary was to
be as much their tool and pawn
as Serbia or Bulgaria or Turkey or
the ponderous states of the east.
Austria Hungary. indeed, was to be-
come part of the central German
empire, absorbed and dominated by
the same forces and influences that
. had originally cemented the German
states themselves.
The dream had its heart at Berlin.
1t could have had heart nowhere
else! 1t contemplated bind
ing together racial and political
units which could be kept together
only by force-Czechs, Magyars,
Croats, Serbs, Rumanians, Turks,
Armenians-the proud states OF Bo-
hemia and Hungary, the stout little
commemorative of the Balkans, the
indomitable Turks, the subtle peo-
pies of the east. These peoples did
not wish to be united. They ardent
ly desired to direct their own af-
fairs, would be satisfied only by
undetermined ipdenendence
