 One British destroyer sank after 10 minutes of brave fighting. The crew of the other destroyer continued to serve it's guns until disabled. After disposing of the conveying vessel the Germans turned their attention to the merchantmen and sank them, one by one

CANADA FAvORS DRAFT; BORDEN
 HOLDS CONTROL

Ottawa, Ont, Dec. 18-The English speaking sections of Canada yesterday voted solidly for conscription that the Dominion may continue to be represented on the fighting line in the strength it has shown there up to the present. The French and the German speaking parts of the country voted against the Borden government and for the return of Sir Wilfrid Laurier as premier.
 The predominance of the English speaking element in the Dominion makes the return of the Union gov ernment with Sir Robert Borden at it's head a certainty. ...
 Tremendous majorities for success ful candidates on both sides constitute the striking feature of the election. So great are the majorities of the Bor- den candidates and so large are the majorities given to Liberal candidates in the Liberal constituencies that the soldier vote, when it is received and applied to the domestic vote, will make little difference in the total number of members elected to SUD- port Sir Robert Borden or his op- ponent.

WONDERFUL STUFF!
 LIFT OUT YOUR C0RNS
Apply a Few Drops Then Lift Corns or Calluses or With Fingers
 No Pain.

No humbugl Any corn, whether hard, soft or between the toes, will loosen right up and lift out, with out a particle of pain or soreness.
 This drug is called freezone and is a compound of ether discovered by a Cincinnati man.
 Ask at any drug store for a small bottle of freezone, which will cost but a tritle, but is sufficient to rid ones feet of every corn or callus.
 Put few drops directly upon any tender, aching corn or eallus. h. stantly the soreness disappears and shortly the corn or callus will loosen and can be lifted of with the fingers.
 This drug freezone doesn't eat out the corn or calluses but shriSels them without even irritating the surrounding skin.
 Just think No pain at all: no soreness or smarting when applying 1t or afterwards. If your druggist don't have freezone have him order 1t for you.-Ady.

Editor of The Star:

EultOf or The Star;
 In referring to the article pub- lished in yesterdays Star, and written by "a good friend ,of The Star" who failed to sign any name, in regard to the trouble which oc- cured in the arrest of Mir. Ammons, I wish to make this statement to my friends and to all whom it may con- cern:
 There is no one, I am sure, who has deeper sympathy for Mir. Am mons and his family than I, but as l was merely doing the duty that was assigned to me in trying to ar rest him, 1 do not feel in anyway subject to criticism by this ''un- known friend of The Star. And, I also wish to state that as an officer, will at any time do what 1 am called upon to do, and in self de- fense, I will always try to protect myself. In this case I can only be thankful to Providence that I es- capped. Respectfully,
 Joe Emerson.

 Representative Charles Burnett writes The Star that his bill to abol- ish the equalization board in Polk county was killed by Senator John ston, who stated that he had re- ceived a good many letters urging him to do so. Mir Burnett feels strongly that the people of Polk county desire this particular kind of bill to be passed, and suggests that if the taxpayers are interested they should give him support by making their wishes known, partic- ularly to MT. Johnston, as to H. B. No. 240, a statewide measure of sim liar import, that has been intro- duced.
