ROOSEVELT PLAN
MAY Be ACCEPTED
HOUSE CHANGES IT'S MIND AND
VOTES TO SEND ROOSEVELT
TO FRANCE.
SENATE FAvORS THE PLAN
Expeditionary Force, With the Former
President In Command, Has Been
Approved and Is Now Up To
President Wilson.
SENATE FAvORs THE PLAN

Washington.-Aide by enough dem
0crats, five of whom were from Mis-
sissipW, one from Arkansas and two
from Alabama, the republicans of the
house were able to override by vote
OF 215 to 178 the conference report on
the military bill and recommit it with
instructions to incorporate the offer
of Col. Roosevelt to lead an expedi-
tionary force to France. The house
had previously rejected the Roosevelt
proposal by vote of ITO to 106.
The senate had voted to accept Col
Roosevelt's offer to raise division or
two of volunteers not eligible to con.
scription, but in conference the house
conferees fought this provision so
stubbornly that the senate conferees,
after weeks of resistance, yielded their
ground and agreed to report out the
bill minus the Objectionable feature.
AS the senate is on record as favor
ing the acceptance of the Roosevelt
amendment, it is fair to assume that it
will vote to sustain the action of the
house. In that event it will be up to
President Wilson to pass upon the mil
itary bill with the Roosevelt expedi-
tionary force for service abroad as its
most spectacular provision.

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
cnliIs, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
q moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv.

Dogs and the pye.Pot.

The Chinese sleeve-dogs, called Pc
kinese, are so fashionable nova
adys and fetch such high prices that
breeders of them are making lot
of money in the business. Also deal
ers.
Unfortunately, the dealers ere not
always honest, and it is just as well
to avoid buying such dogs from street
vendors and other nonrespOnsible per-
sons. The animals may not be ex-
actly what they seem.
The color specially desired for a
Pekinese is a delicate shade of brown.
Dogs of this kind are of various hues
but an INSCRIPTIONS dealer finds no
serious difficulty in making them
brown, to match any shade. He simply
dips doggy into pail of hydrogen per-
oxide a few times until his coat is
well bleached and then dyes him, by
like means, to the fashionable tint.

Dry Clause Drastic.
The prohibition provision is exceed
ingly drastic. The president Is au-
thorized to make regulations govern
ing the prohibition of alcoholic liquors
'in or near" military camps. Not
only can liquor not be sold or sup
piled but it will be illegal for any
person to have in his possession any
intoxicating or spirituous liquors at
any military station, cantonment,
camp, fort, post or officers or enlisted
mems club.
It will be unlawful for anyone to
sell intoxicating liquor, including
beer. to any officer or member of the
military forces while in uniform.
Likewise, the social evil is guarded
against through the suppression and
prevention of the setting up of any
houses used for immoral purposes.
The fact that under the authority
of congress the president Is author
lied to call II, 100000 men to the colors
is expected to have a great moral eff
feet in Germany. 1t is quite true that
the entire force he can commander
at this time will number two and a
quarter million. But even this num-
Der would constitute a reinforcement
which British and French officers say
would assure victory if employed in
France.
Could Relieve British.
England to date has raised some
100000 men. With the exception of
couple of million these men are at
the front in France, Belgium, Egypt,
the Balkans and Mesopotamia.
What the president and Secretary.
Baker desire first and above all is to
train the officers and men,. When they
are ready to fight the drilled troops OF
Germany, then probably they will be
sent abroad, and not before.
But Germany doubtless will watch
with increasing anxiety the prepared
ness of the American people and Will
realize that peace will be most desir-
able and necessary, before they are
ready for service in France.
Officers Go to France.
Three army medical officers-Maj.
William L. Keller and Capts. Daniel p.

Eleven million male citizens from
twenty-one to thirty years old, inclu-
sive, will be subject to draft by the
president of the United States.
But in order that men under twenty
one and over thirty may serve their
country If they so desire, the measure
provides for the acceptance Of volun-
teers over eighteen years and under
forty years.
The gigantic number of men subject
to draft will not all be called to the
colors by any means. The proposed
law gives authority to the president to
draft as many men as he deems nee
essary to fill up the regular army, the
National Guard and the CONSUMPTION
force Of 100000 men.
2,001 900 Armed Men.
1t is estimated by the war depart
ment that as a result of the authority
conferred and the action to be taken
2,O01 900 officers and men will COM
prise the military establishment Of the
United States.
Under the new bill agreed to author
ity is given to fill up by draft the reg
ular army and the National Guard to
war strength, and to raise outside this
100000 men, 100000 to come as the
first quota.
The war strength of the regular
army is about 100000 men. 1t has
now about $4,000 men and is short
ord
has war strength of 625,O00 men. 1t
has now about 125,oOO and is short
about 100000 men.
Therefore, on the first call there can
be taken for war service about 655,OOO
men to fill up gaps in the regular army
and National Guard and in addition
100000 as the first quota of the con-
script army of 100000 men.
In the first draft it is possible about
1,155,OO0 men will be taken for active
service, leaving authorization under
the present bill to call out immedi-
ately 100000 more for another con-
script army.
No Place for Roosevelt.
The action allowing Col. Theodore
Roosevelt to enlist volunteers for for
eign service has been eliminated.
What the colonel will do now that
his pet project is incapable Of realiza-
ton Is question. 1t is generally I'M
derstood that President Wilson is abb
soluteIy opposed to the idea Of vol
unteer organization under command Of
the colonel.
Paw for enlisted men and nom
commissioned officers was agreed upon
as follows:
Men now receiving less than $21
per month are increased to SD per
month: those who received $24 are
increased to $32; men who receive $50,
$50 or $40 are increased So each = men
who receive $45 are increased to $50.
Army Officers Pleased.
Army officers received notice of the
age limit with pleasure. They had
expected higher maximum, though
they would rather have had the orig
fnal ages of nineteen to twenty-five.
A new section in the bill authorizes
the president to organize and equip
three machine-gun companies for
each infantry and cavalry brigade
and four machine-gun companies and
an armored motorcar for each In
fantry and cavalry division.
An interesting change is that the
draft will not be based upon the num-
Der of persons available for serv-
ice," as first proposed, but upon the
population.

essary. Fraud in registration, exam
