that the Y. w. c. A. are about to

One thing has been demonstrated,
in the present war, beyond the pos
sibility Of doubt and that is the
superiority Of the French and Eng
fish soldier when it comes to hand

the enemy cannot face cold steel
without flinching.

From a sentimental view point
the recent capture of Jerusalem is
one of the great events of this
world war. For centuries the Holy
City has been in the possession of
the Turks. Now that it has fallen
into Christian hands it should re-
main in their care unmolested for
ever.

The minds of men and women of
the present day have been almost
wrecked in attempts to grasp the
significance of figures in every day
use as related to war. Only two
denominations are used-billions
for measuring money and millions
for counting soldiers.
Have you read Ambassador Ger

not you have missed something

are hard to follow and are often
misleading.

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

You reckless men and women who
are pestcred with corns and who have
at least once q week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
lieved and soon the entire corn or cal
LUIS, root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
plied, and simply shrivels the corn or cal.
LUIS without inflaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A SINE II
bottle Of freezone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but will posi-.
lively rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn Or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can get
1t at any wholesale drug house for you,

DIDN'T LIKE PICKET DUTY.

! There is at least one Boy Scout
encamped with the other members
of his troop in Palisades park who
has been disillusioned regarding the
glories of camp life, according to a
New York correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. He may later
become a soldier, but it won't be be-
cause Of the glamour surrounding
tented life in the wilderness. The
Scouts dad is a newspaper man and
he detailed his son to take careful
note of the activities of the troop
and write it up for publication. He
obeyed his instructions so carefully
that when the first installment ar
rived at the newspaper Office it was
mistaken for summer resort news,
so voluminous was the text. But
everything was there, including even
the authors own deeds and mis-
deeds. 81 like everything but picket
duty" he finished, "every time we
have a chicken to roast, l am de-
tailed to pick it." ,.

A QUEENLY ACT.


I A very pretty story is related Of
the queen of Denmark. King Wal
demar and Queen Marie are good
skaters, like most Danes, and one
day when, after long skate on the
ice, they stopped to rest, they no.
ticed a little boy who was vainly try
ing to put on his skates. On seeing
the royal couple, he took off his hat
and said: "Oh, Queen Marie, can
Jon not help me put on my skates P"
The royal lady smiled, knelt down
on the ice and firmly fastened the
straps round the boys ankles. That
was a gracious act and meant more
than a similar act in this country.

Madam Breshkovskaya Recalls Meet

Catherine Breshkovskaya tells the
story of when. as a girl she was go

mother and sister, "a handsome young
prince. returning from his official du-
ties in Siberia" entered their COM
partment. For hours, she says, he
discussed with her the problems of
the Russian people. "His words thrill
ed like fire. Our excited voices rose
steadily higher, until my mother
begged us to speak low" The hand
some young prince was Peter Kro-
patkin.
The years have passed, and the
cause to which the two ardent young
politicians in that Russian railway
carriage devoted their lives has been
indicated. Madam Breshkovskaya,
honored and fyee In her own country,
Is leading, e:Shorting. advising the
forces Of the revolution which. she
helped so powerfully to make. and

How many of our readers have

following incident, however, is
vouched for by the blind man con-
cerned, who was formerly a patient
at st. Dunstan's, the Regents Park
institution, where war heroes who
have sacrificed their sight in the
great fight for freedom are cared for
and taught trades which they can
suitably adopt in spite Of their sad
affection.
"The incident happened" says the
blind hero, shortly after | arrived
home from st. Dunstan's last year.
I was out with some friends one eve
ming, and after a walk we made our
way to a place of refreshment. A
vacant seat was found for me next

known him for some years previous
to my blindness, and, naturally
enough, he wanted to communicate
with me.

PLANNED TO SAVE EASEMENT
But Daring Spy Work OF German Off
Ger Who slipped Into England
Proved Of No Avail.

The story Of Sir Roger Easements
capture and execution Is widely known,
but the efforts Of the Berlin admiralty
to help him escape from his English
prison just before his death have not
been told.
An officer in the navy, who could
speak English and who had visited
London frequently before the war.
was furnished with a false passport
and landed in England, says Carl w.
Alderman in the Saturday Evening
Post. He was provided with unlimited
funds, and a ship awaited off the
coast to bring Easement back to Ger
many. The foreign office watched
British reports very carefully and was
amazed when Il learned that Case
ment had been executed. II was evil
dent then that the naval officers plan
had failed and ell hope of his return
was given up.
Six weeks later, however, he arrived
In Germany, pale, exhausted and nerv-
ously broken down. He had succeeded
in comforting with Sir Roger, he re-
ported, and Lad talked to him an hour
before he was executed, but there was
no possibility of an escape. Then,
fearing that he was under suspicion.
this officer underwent the most drastic
privatlons until, as a member of the
crew of a neutral ship. he reached the
continent.
If this story is true--and II was told
to me by relative of the ofiicer-it is
one Of the most daring instances of
spy work in England during the war.
1t is a proof, too, Of the ease with
which even German officers go to Eng
land during the most critical days Of
the war.
