MORE TROOPS TO BE RAISED
 AT ONCE IN GREAT BRiTAIh
Minister of National Service Calls for
 420,000 More Men.

London. Jan. 14.-Between 10000 and 450,O00 troops must be raised ar
 once in this country. Sir Auckland Geddes, minister of national service, told the house of commons today.
 Sir Auckland said the government
 had decided not to introduce conscrip-
 ton in Ireland for the present, nor
 to change the military age limit. Great
 Britain and the colonies, he added, had
 raised 7,000,000 men. Plain facts,' said the minister, do not support the statement that the ar
 mics are melting for the lack of re- cruits and that recruiting has broken down.
 "The withdrawal of Russia means that not less than 100000 men will front" said the minister. Notwithstanding Russia's defection, the resources of the allies and Amer -ica are sufficient to assures victory, and nothing but a psychological ca tastrophe can save the central poW-
 ers.''
 Sir Auckland said the government had examined in detail the position of the allies and that the results were not unsatisfactory. Excluding Russia and Rumania-" he continued, "the allies have sub stantial superiority in fighting and ra- tioning strength over the central pow CTS. From a statistical standpoint the strength of. the enemy gives no cause for anxiety.' . i.

 Shrike Among Winter Visitors.
 . A great northern shrike has been reported near here. These birds are natives of much higher attitudes than this, and it's appearance here is prob ably due >(like the great Arctic owls which have been seen in this state) to extreme cold in the north: also to the ease with which any bird can travel with a storm. In 1885 during a se- were northeast snow storm shrike e me to Jewett City and was shot by a local hunter who was out after foxes. It was purchased by the Agassiz Chap ter and was mounted by a Providence taxidernist, and can now be seen among the collection in Assembly hall at the Riverside Grammar school These birds. are to a certain degree birds, of prey as their food consists Of sparrows and field mice, which they capture and -transiS upon some near by thorn. bush. They are little larger than plump robin. though the tail is m1ch longer and the beak is hooked. The plumage is gray and white with black streak extending from the eye down the side of the lead and neck. ,s

You reckless men and women who are pesiered with coEns and. who have at least once a week invited an awful death from lockjaw or blood poison Afe now told by q Cincinnati outhority to use drug called freeZone. which the moment a few drops are applied to any corn the soreness is relieved and soon the entire corn, root and all lifts right out with the fingers, with out one particle Of pain.
 This freezone is a sticky substance which dries the moment 1t is applied and just loosens the corn without in- flaming or even irritating the. sur Founding tissue or. skin. He says a quarter of an ounce will cost very lit- tieaat any of the drug stores, but this is sufficient to rid ones feet of every hard or soft corn or callus.
