M. J. CARR
County Commissioner Of Ramsey
County,.

The above portrait is of M. j. Carr,
County Commissioner of Ramsey
County, who, ever since he was
elected, has "been on the job" He is
an indefatigible worker and has been
quite instrumental in bringing about
reforms, or, inaugurating plans for the
betterment Of the interests of his con-
stituents without fear or favor and
has treated all alike regardless of
nationality, race, color or creed, which
shows that his heart is in the right
place. This is made more apparent by
several special efforts he has made in
the interest of the colored people
whose cases have come to his notice
for which he deserves their gratitude.
Mr.. Carr has a son among the SOL
der boys at Fort Dodge, Iowa, and
a couple of weeks ago he and his es-
Unable "better half" spent few days
visiting their son. They, of course,
were interested in their son and his
comrades, but they were somewhat
surprised to find the colored contin-
gent so creditable in every way.
Mr.. Carr in an interview with THE
APPEAL representative could scarcely
| find words to express the favorable
impression he formed Of the several
| thousands he saw there, and he was
! especially pleased with the magnifi-
! cent specimens of manhood and SOL
dierly bearing of the colored officers
and says he never saw a finer looking
set of men. Mr.. Carr is an ex-baseball
star and an ardent advocate of ath-
letics in which men are regarded by
their prowess or ability "to bring home
the bacon" regardless of nationality,
race or color.
He talked considerably during his
visit with one of the officers there
who had spent % years in the U. S.
Army in China, the Philippines and
elsewhere most of which time he was
in command of colored soldiers and he
was loud in his praise of them as men
and soldiers. He said that if he was
given 10000 colored troops such as he
found them he would be proud to lead
them anywhere on earth.
The enthusiasm of Mr.. Carr was
very gratifying and inspiring.
He heard something of the preju
dice that cropped out in regard to not
saluting colored officersoand told his
son he hoped never to hear that he
so far forgot himself as to not pay the
respect due to uniform of a United
) States Army officer simply because i
covered a colored soldier.

DIPLOMATIC BREAKS NOT
ALWAYS FOLLOWED BY WAR.

The breaking of diplomatic relations
between two countries has not always
been followed by war. 1t is recognized
always as a preliminary step toward
war, but there have been cases where
war has not followed or where it has
been postponed for many months after
diplomatic ties were severed.
In May, 1915, Italy declared war on
AustriaHungary. simultaneously the
German ambassador to Rome, Prince
BuelOW, was forced to leave Italy, TAX
ing with him all German diplomatic
and consular officers. At the same mo-
ment the italian ambassador to Berlin
was handed his passports. The break
between the two countries was com
plete from the diplomatic standpoint.
But though war was hOtly waged be-
tween Italy and Germany's ally, there
was no actual declaration of war
against Germany until more than a
year later.
Twice the United States has more
or less summarily dismissed British
ministers 10 washington
In 1909 Minister Jackson was hand
ed his passports as the result of what
were practically charges of falsehood
and duplicity made by him against the
American secretary of state. That
was, of course, preliminary to the war
of 1872, but war did not begin until
three years later.
Lord Sackville-West, British minis
ter to the United States, was dismissed
by the Washington government in
1888, because of personal letters he
had been trapped into writing which
were regarded as unWarranted inter-
ference with domestic politics. In this
instance the American minister was
not recalled, nor was he handed his
passports, and no declaration of war
followed the incident.
When the Emperor Macmillan was
executed in Mexico in 1867 his brother,
Emperor Francis Joseph, withdrew all
his diplomatic and consular officers
from Mexico. Diplomatic relations
were not resumed for more than thirty
years. But during all that time Aus
TRAN subjects lived in peace in Mexico
and were not molested by the Mexican
government. The fact that the Aus
trian forces withdrew from Mexico I'M
der strong pressure from the United
States is to be considered as a control
ling cause for Francis Joseph content
ing himself with making only diplO-
matte protest.

Ready to Supply Own Needs.

The figures are suggestive of what
has taken place in other industries
which could not be so closely iden-
tilted with the actual movement of the
troops. The fact that five times as
many railway cars have been shipped
abroad had, for example, no distant
relation; that cotton manufacturers
nearly trebled, that wool manufacture
ers quadrupled, that leather far more
than doubled, that steel manufactures
as a whole rose from S1S4,000,000 to
SIT, OOO,OO0-all these show what the
war has done to put this country in
a position to supply it's own needs
should they arise.

RUSSIAN AND TEUT0NS
FIGHTING NEAR RIGA

London, Feb. 5.-On none of the
war fronts has there been any fight
ing Of great moment. The Russians
and Germans have continued their
movements in several of the sectors
near Riga The Russians admit the
penetration of their trenches by the
Germans along the Kalnzem road,
southwest of Riga, but say they were
driven out later in a counter-attack.
Berlin records the repulse of Russian
attacks along the Aa river.
Small attacks, mostly by raiding
parties, and commandments continue
to prevail on the front in France and
Belgium. At several points surprise
attacks have given the British and
French German trench elements.

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me @ 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 a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and al, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by q Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries In
a 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 a small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv

Washington, Feb. 5.-The severance
Of diplomatic relations with Germany
has been formally announced to the
country and the world by President
Wilson at a joint session of Congress
This speech contained a plea that
all neutral nations join with the Unit

The United States now stands on

power which repeatedly invades its
sacred rights and takes the lives OF
It's citizens.

may prove thhe most somber moment

and deeply deplorable remuneration OF
it's assurances given this government
