 TRANSPORTATION DIFFICULT
 The transportation problem with which the Red Cross has had to cope in moving supplies overseas has been most difficult. but through official British. French and Italian co opera tion with the United States shipping board and leading steamship and rail- road companies, vast quantities of supplies are shipped almost daily A special Red Cross transport service has been developed in France as the railroads there are overtaxed with mill itary needs.
 Six base hospitals were sent to Eu- ropean fronts in advance of the Amer ican soldiers and more than a dozen are actively in service there and oth- CTS are rapidly being made ready.
 It is not the policy of the Red Cross to rebuild French villages, but it is hoped to afford new starts in life to large number of persons des- titute through ravages of the Ger man army. A provisional experiment along this line is being worked out

20,OOO,OOO Miles of Train Service Saved Annually by Eliminating Passenger Trains Not Essential
AVERTED CONGESTION
 OF FREIGHT TRAFFIC BY MOVING EMPTIES
Besides Increasing General Efficiency of Railroads the Board Has Assisted Military Operations

 Washington, DesS~r 9-AccompllSh- ments of the railroad war board in meet ing the country's transportation require ments since it's organization four months ago were set forth in state- ment tonight by Fairfax Harrison, its chairman The board, comprising be- sides Mr. Harrison, Howard Elliott, Hale Holden, Julius Kruttschnitt, Daniel Will lard and Samuel Req, is operating the nations 6s3 railway lines as one conti- mental system.
 What 1t has succeeded in doing is told in the following summary: Reduced the car shortage 70 per cent and increased the general efficiency
 of the roads in moving freight Is per cent over 1916.
 Saved 200o0,000 miles of train service annually by eliminating passenger trains considered not essential to pressing war needs
 Averted freight congestion by nov ing promptly empty cars from one
 road to another, irrespective of
 ownership
 Saved 50,000 cars by pooling lake
 coal and ore and 1S3, GOO cars by pool
 ing tidewater coal.
 Increased generally the loads here tofore carried by cars of all classes. Besides increasing the general effici- ency of railroads the war board. MT Harrison points out, has assisted the government in solving military prob lems. The statement says:
 Skilled and experienced railroad men have been sent to every cantopment tc assist the constructing quartermasters there in the movement of supplies. A trained executive has been stationed in Washington to aid the headquarters of the supervising quartermaster that every car used in the transportation of gov ernment supplies might be available when needed.
 At the request of the government plans have been perfected wherby 1,000,- GOO men are to be moved from nearly 5000 different points to the 32 training camps for the national army and National Guard by October 20. About one-third of these men already are under way, and are carrying their tents and equipment with them This means that in addition to the coaches and tourist sleepers oc- cupled by them more than 12,000 freight cars must be transported.
 Freight generally Is moving in unex- ampled volume. Practically every fac tory in the country is moving to it's capacity. turning out supplies for. the government, the allies and for the American people.
 If the maximum amount of transpor- tation Is to be obtained the shipping and travelling public and all railway employees will have to continue to cooperate, in many ways; submit to many inconven- fences, and sometimes even bear losses due to changes in transportation serv- Jo<.D

OUTLINE OF TERMS
 Washington, September 9.-What purported to be an outline of Ger many's paace terms has been circu- lated among diplomats here within the last two weeks. but has been regard ed by the entente embassies and most of the neutrals as a "feeler." The orr igin of the so o-called terms has not been disclosed, but they are said to have been written by Foreign Secre- tary Won Kuhlmann before his visit to Vienna. which since has been point ed to as strengthening the probabil : ity that they bear evidences of au- thenticity.
 Briefly the so-called terms were as follows:
 Restoration of Belgium and north ern France, to be paid for out of the sale of Germany's colonies to Great Britain.
 AIsace and Lorraine to be independ- ent states. (High French officials re- gently have stated anew the deter imitation of France to be satisfied with nothing less than the recovery of her 
 lost provinces.)
 Triest to be a free port"
 Servia and Rumania to be restored, and Servia to have port on the Ad- riatic
 The Balkan question and the status of Turkey to be subjects for negotia- ton.
 Disarmament and international po- lice.
 Freedom of the seas with Great Britain in control of the English chan < mel until the projected tunnel is built between Dover and Calais.
 This outline of terms, circulated without definite stamp of any off cial authority, it will be noted, bears in many respects resemblance to the general tenor of the peace proposals of Pope Benedict.
 By some diplomats such an outline is regarded as presenting something susceptible of discussion. It is dis cussed merely as a possibility, Without having yet advanced fully into the range of probability,

 the Red Cross work in France are giving their time and paying their own expenses. A special fund of s100,- 900 has been privately contributed to meet the expenses of the members of the commission to France unable to pay their own way.
 SEPARATE COMMISSIONS
 The war council has sent to Flu rope five separate commissions, each composed of representative Americans skilled in. business administration in medical and surgical work, and i'll other lines of Red Cross effort. The work covers wide scope of relief, from the establishing and maintaining of hospitals for American soldiers in France, to civilian aid, including the care and education of destitute French children and the rehabilitation of the devastated areas in France and Bel gium. Relief and preventive means against tuberculosis. which has great ly increased since the war, also will be supplied A plan has been devised also to extend aid to soldiers and ci- williams held as prisoners by the enemy. These are only few of the many avenues through which Red Cross re- lief will flow to the countless thou sands of war victims
 The Red Cross in France has as- sumed the management of the war re- lief clearing house. It has taken over, under control of the United States army, the administration of the Amer ican ambulance hospital at Neuilly. It has assumed financial responsibility for Dr. J. A. Blakes American hos pital in Paris. It has allied with it. self the work of the American sur gical dressing committees which dis tributed in France in July 7S2,949 dressings among 435 hospitals.
 CARE FOR ONE ARMY
 The effect has been in accordance with the expressed views of the Pres ident of the United States and of the civic and military authorities of France to co ordinate along helpful lines all relief work being done in France and America The first and the supreme object of the task Is to care for our own army and navy. Toward this end the Red Cross is establishing field canteens. which it will provide for every corps of the French army as we'll as for the American army. There now are large reception camps near the coast where United States soldiers are received.
 Along the route to the firing line the Red Cross has established infirm- aries and rest stations. At railway sta- tions canteens are being established where our soldiers may find rest and refreshment. Baths, food, games and other comforts will be available. When American troops start for France the men are given comfort kits. Christ mas parcels will be sent over later.
 Various appropriations have been made to worthy causes. such as $1.- 000,o00 for the relief of sick and wounded French soldiers and their families. $100,oo0 for medical research work in France: $500,oo0 for supply

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen a tender corn or
callus so it lifts out
without pain

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison are
now told by a Cincinnati authority to
use a drug called freezone, which the
moment a few drops are applied to any
corn or callus the ~ren is relieved
and soon the entire corr or c%allus. root
and all, lifts off with the fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corr or
.callus without inhaming or yer irritat-
ing 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. l
