Germans Are Clinging
 Tenaciously to Avion,
 Which Canadians Want

Canadian Headquarters in France, June 27.-The enemy clings tenaciously to Avion. He gave up his trenches which were on a slope leading up to the village, little over a quarter of mile from the first houses, only under strong com pulsion. His new line is immediately in front of the most westerly row of houses in Avion. It is connected with cellars and dugouts in the villages to which the occupants ran when heavily shelled
 Strong Canadian patrols sent out last night found this trench line strongly held and were unable to enter. The Canadian heavy artillery has once more taken up the work of destruction Between Avion and Lens there is a considerable stretch of marsh along the Souchez. This has been flooded and wire entanglements have been constructed on the eastern side of the flooded area. As it is to the south, the new German line is strongly held
 Supports Held by the army with which the Canadian corps is connected, resulted i'll the rediscovery of Tom Longboat the famous Canadian Indian runner. In a three-mile cross country race Longboat romped home well in advance of some of the most famous British and Canadian runners, without even extending himself. He had great reception from his regi- mental comrades

Plans for Insuring Lives
 of Soldiers Considered

Washington, June 27.-Plans for in- surfing the lives of American soldiers and sailors during the war will be discussed at a conference of life in surance company presidents with Sec retary McAdoo here July 2. Invita- tions were sent tc the life insurance men today by the treasury depart ment.
 One suggestion is to place the insur- ance in the hands of the federal war risk insurance bureau, which now is insuring lives of men of the merchant marine Another plan Is combination of insurance companies, cooperating with or backed by the government
 The proposal to insure the fighting men, which has the approval of Presi- dent Wilson, presents many complica- tions, among which is its probable re- lation with the pension system
 "Why should not America take the lead in this noble and humane ac- tion?" said Secretary McAdoo tonight.
 1T earnestly hope that great sys" tenn of insurance will be devised which will give to every officer. soldier and sailor in the military and naval serv- ice of the United States the assurance that some provision Is made for the loved ones he leaves behind if he is called upon to make the greatest sac rifice that patriot can make for his country"

GERMAN MILITARY EXPERTS PUZZLED
 AT HA|G'S MOVES

Copenhagen, June 27.-German mil itary writers, with enlightenment fur nished them by the war press bureau, express the opinion that the British are preparing new offensive, but Field Marshal Haig's tactics in strik- ing now here and now there along the British front leave them in un- certainty as to the section on which the blow will fall. Captain Won Salz- mann writes in the Vossische Zei- tung that the feints of the British commander in the last week evident ly were to cover regrouping of troops and surprise attack which probably will be made like the Wytschaete offensive against mar row front with an extraordinary heavy concentra tion of artillery and Infantry. He believes the attack may come north of Ypres
 Lieutenant General Won Ardenne military critic of the Tageblatt, who has the same facts to go on, makes the guess that the British will strike in the Warneton region, at the south ern end of the new defensive line taken up by the Germans after the Wytschaete defeat.
 All the critics agree that no se .. rious French offensive is to be expect ed at present.
 General Won Ardenne also declares a Russian offensive is entirely im- possible at this time.

How's S This?
 Corns Lift Out With Fingers No Pain

Thanks to a new discovery made from a Japanese product your foot troubles can be quickly ended.
 Ice Mint, as this new preparation is called is said to shrivel up hard corns, soft corns or corns between the toes so that they can be lifted out easily with the fingers. It's wonderful. Think of it; only touch or two of IceMint and real foot joy is yours.
 There is not one bit of pain or sore ness when applying it or afterwards and it doesn't even irritate the skin.
 If your feet are inclined to swell or puff, or if you have cracked or bleed ing toes. it will draw the inflammation right out and quickly heal the sore and tender places. II is the real Japanese secret of fine, healthy, little feet and is greatly appreciated by women who wear high heel shoes and by. men who have to stand on their feet all day. Try it. Just ask in any drug store for a small jar of Mint and learn for yourself what solid foot comfort really is. There is nothing like it.-Adv.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Necessities of War

To the Editor of The Herald:
 Regardless of ewhat influence and what motives prompted that influence that caused us to go to war with Germany, it is a fact that we-ev. cry citizen of the United States-have through our legally constituted au- thority, declared war on Germany and on the autocratic principles Germany IS trying to force on humanity by means of fire and sword It is. there fore, the moral and legal duty of ey- cry citizen of our country to volun tarily put his shoulder to the wheel and do everything possible to assist our country-ourselves bring this war to an early and successful end for the principles of democracy, for which principles we have entered this war and for which we are fighting to perpetuate. However, in our enthu- siasm and exciting rush to aid the cause of democracy let us all, espe- cially our public officers-the servants of the people, whose sworn duty is to protect the interest of all of the people-jealously guard against any selfish influence accomplishing a self ish purpose under the guise of "a war necessity.''
 Congressman William R. Wood of Indiana in a speech on the 'press censorship" bill. in the House of Rep resentatives, June 2, very appropri- ately said:
 Let us call halt in the hysteria of the hour long enough to reflect that the life blood of every republic that has preceded ours has been sapped by viper born of the so- called necessities of war If we are wise we will profit by their example and kill this viper In the borning."
 It would not surprise me to any day read in your paper of some dusky damsel being hauled before Judge "Ab' to answer to the charge of con- t1nuously beating up her better half and her answering thereto, "Jedge, it am a war 'cessity." (This reference to this possibility is not influenced by any desire on my part to usurp the duties of my friend Captain Mandy. ]
 It makes me tremble to contem- plate the unnecessary. undemocratic and selfish stunts that, no doubt, will be attempted in the name of "a war necessity
 Let us make haste slowly and safe ly, thereby avoiding unnecessary sac rifice by the people and even the tem- porary Prussianizing of America while we fight to un-Prussianize Prus- sia. Very respectfully,

Zeppelin Falls 13,OOO
 Feet and Three of Crew
 Are Captured Alive

London, June N.-When the British re- gently brought down Zeppelin on the east Anglian coast they captured two members of the crew who escaped death as the airship plunged to earth, the ad- admiralty announced today.
 One of the prisoners Is an officer and the other a private. The private's legs were broken. His companion escaped vir- tually unscathed. The Zeppelin fell 13,0o0 feet and was in flames when it reached the ground
 An eyewitness of the fall of the Zeppe- lin, as quoted by the Central News, says there were three survivors. One of them, when challenged, claimed that he was the captain of the Zeppelin. He was un- injured. The two other men were taken to the hospital apparently in a dying condition, but since then have recovered.
 The above undoubtedly refers to the air raid on the east and southeast coast of England early Sunday morning, June IT, when one Zeppelin was brought down in flames.

PRESIDENT WILSON
 WILL LOOK AFTER
 EXPORT CONTROL
Indications Are Chief Ex- ecutive Will Have Direct Supervision of Power
 War Measure

Washington, June H.-Administration of the export control act was discussed at half hour conference today between The President went to the department of commerce building unannounced. walk ing over from the White House.
 Recommendations concerning the com modities first to be put under opera tion of the act it is understood, already are in the Presidents hands. A procla- nation requiring licensing of coal ship ments and probably grain exports prob ably will be issued from the White House this week. Proclamations to follow will deal with commodities by groups.
 Secretary Redfield, who will administer the act through the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. will have organized a division of export licenses to which ap- plication for export licenses will be made. There will be as little delay as possible, the secretary said today, in handling ap- plications.
 Control of shipping through operation of a licensing system for bunker coal was discussed by Secretary Redf1eld With Chairman Denman of the shipping board. The intention of the government, 1t is said, is to force ships into necessary trades and to draw from neutral and allied harbors shipping now held there through fear of submarine attack.
 The United States in licensing ships to European neutrals, will take every pre- caution, it is said, not only to prevent re-export to the enemy, but also to pre- vent American products from being sub stituted for other commodities exported to the enemy.
 President Wilson's visit to the depart ment of commerce today was taken as an indication that the President will give personal attention to operation of the ex- port control and that he himself will de- eide questions of international impor- tance rising in connection with Its ad- minitsraton.
