A Tribute.

When Julia Ward Howe died me-
mortal services in her honor were held
at San Francisco, and the local liter
ary colony attended practically en-
masse to pay by their presence a
tribute to the writer.
A municipal officer was asked to pre-
side. Dressed in his long frOck coat
and his broad white tie, he advanced
to the edge of the platform to launch
the exercises and introduce the prin-
cipal eulogist. He bowed low and
spoke as follows:
'Your attendance here, ladies and
gents, in such great numbers shows
San Francisco's appreciation of good
literature. This meeting is great tes-
timOnial to the immortal author of
Uncle Toms cabin-the late Julia
Ward Howard !''-Saturday Evening

EUROPE FOR CLEAN MOVIES
Film From America, but Suggest
Change in Its Character.

Europe is buying more motion pic
ture film from America than ever be-
.Ore. This is an excellent branch of
our export trade. 1t does not take
much raw material. 1t gives employ
ment to many grades of labor from
the rough to the highest grade. 1t dis
tributes money through all the stages
of it's progress from the crude product
to the finished.
Europe finds in the "movie" bit of
relief, of relaxation from the long
strain and horror of war. 1t wants
American pictures, but what an indict-
ment of American morals is contained
in the report Of our vice consul, David
G. Kerr, stationed at Birmingham,
England, who notifies the secretary OF
commerce that "the only recOmmenda-
ton offered by renting agents as to any
improvements desired in American
films is a request for ''less of the sex
ual problem !" We are so habituated
to seeing indecent plays, suggestive
movies" and women in scant drapery
that we have lost the proper sense Of
proportion morally. "LesS of the sex
ual problem" says Europe. The mes
sage is good one from a people who
are being made better, cleaner, truer
as they are tried in the fire of war;
Financial America.

LIFT YOUR C0RNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or caIIus so it lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes a size smaller if you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small
bottle of freeZone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

Believe that he would be welcome on

In his heart was the full ardor of
love. To his lips there almost came
the words that Meta would have been
glad to hear. They were repressed,
however. Meta lived wretchedly with
her old uncle, who was poor. Meta
had many suitOrs. Dayton had moth

make his way in the world. Then he

And now he had come back-alas !!
what a sad return of the wanderer,
for he had brought with him neither
money nor promise, nor prospect for
the future. He had invested the few
hundred dollars he had in little busi-
ness with partner who had not only
robbed him, but had defrauded their
creditors. Then he had decamped
leaving Dayton to bear the burden of
the hour, accused of fraud, almost
threatened with prosecution, a pauper.
After that there was no place for
him amid the SneerS and suspicious

graded an innocent man. Like thief

Crack"
There was a flash at the open win
dow, a sharp, snappy report, and the
man who was lurking in the shadow
of high lilac bush turned and ran
like whitehead.
"Oh, !" exclaimed Meta Deane,
springing to her feet and seizing and
drawing back the trembling old hand
that held a smoking revolver.

Meta. Then, restless and disturbed by
the exciting episode of the moment,
she passed from the room out of the
house and walked around the garden.
Just at the edge of the big lilac bush
Meta stopped to pick up handker-
chief. 1t was of large size, clean and
folded except where one edge had been
crushed into the yielding loan by a
human foot. Doubtless the lurker had
dropped it in his flight. Meta opened
it and held it in the focus of the lamp
light that streamed through the open
window.
She uttered a sudden but half-sup-
pressed cry. Her face paled and her
lips quivered. In one corner of the
handkerchief two initials were inter-
woven: 81. D." And we'll she knew
they stood for Leslie Dayton, and
surer still, for her own busy hands had
six months previous embroidered those
initials on half-a-dOZen handkerchiefs

BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

The United States anticipates from
three to five more years Of war, and is
preparing for it on tremendous scale,
basing it's plans on the idea that de-
feat of the central powers will de-
pend largely on America. France and
England are counted on to hold the
Germans back on the west front, while
Italy keeps the Austrians busy In the
Trieste and TrentinO regions, until the
United States can raise, equip and
train it's immense National army.
Though a hundred thousand or more
Americans will be on the fighting front
this year, it is not expected that our
armies will appear there in great
strength before 1918. This much of
Its plans the government allowed to be
known last week. President Wilson,
It was said, expects to send million
men to France next year and another
million the following year if neces-
sary.
Instead of panicky haste, careful
consideration is governing the move
ments of the government. To cO-Ordi-
nate the needs of the allies and fur
tons and other supplies they must
have is perhaps the most pressing
problem, and during the week the cab
met discussed the creation of the vast
machinery for the purchase of sup
plies aggregating $10,OO0,OOO, 900 year

countries. This it is planned, is to be
controlled by commission, rather
than by one man, and such Is the ad-
vice of Bernard Baruch, who had been
suggested for the position. The war
commissions of Great Britain and
France formally agreed to the creation
Of such a commission, and the Italian
commissioners, now in this country,
doubtless will assent. Incidentally,
italy wants to borrow several hundred
millions from the United States.
Preparing for Registration.
Preparations for the registration on
June of all men between the ages
Of twenty-one and thirty for service
In the National army went forward
rapidly throughout the country, and,
with a blush Of shame be it said,
schemes were sprung in many locali-
ties to defeat the success of the army
law and to fight against conscription.
In Texas and West Virginia organiza-
tions for this purpose were uncovered,
and in those states and many other
places arrests were made by the secret
service men, Federal officers every
where were instructed to keep close
watch over meetings at which there
might be agitation against registra-
ton and to arrest the speakers. In
some instances it was shown beyond
doubt that German influences and Ger
man money were behind the demon
stratiOnS.
Chicago, New York and other cities
were the scene of meetings of Social
.sts, pacifists, conscientious objectors
and other intentional or unintentiOnal
aids of the kaiser. These gatherings
voiced the demand that the United
States government at once announce
It's war aims in definite and concrete
terms and make peace as soon as those
aims are achieved. The Socialists, ac-
cording to their leaders, are concerned
chiefly in spreading their doctrines
throughout the world and see in the
war a fine opportunity to accomplish
this. AS for the conscientious objec-
tors. one may well quote Colonel
Roosevelt's phrase in his Memorial
Day address: eff any man is too con-
scientious to fight he ought to take
