CLIP THIS AND PIN
ON WlFE'S DRESSER
Cincinnati man tells how to shriVeI
up corns Or caIIuses so they
lift off with fingers.

Ouch ! ?!?!! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few drops
of a drug called freezone when applied
to a tender, aching corn or hardened cal
1us stops soreness at once, and soon the
corn or callus dries up and lifts right
off without pain.
He says freezope dries Immediately
and never inf1ames or even initiates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American women
win welcome this announcement since
the inauguration of the high heels. If
your druggist doesn't have freezone tell
hin to order a small bottle for you. =

Bolo Pasha, the spectacular French
traitor, was executed at Vincennes on
Wednesday, after having made confess
sionS that are believed to involve many
others in his infamies. In the United
States men equally guilty of treason
are allowed to live, and if arrested are
usually let out on bail to continue their
vile practices until the time comes for
their trial. This may be remedied,
however, by the passage Of the Cham
berlain bill introduced in the senate,
declaring the United States a part Of
the military zone and making spies
and dislOyalists subject to trial by
court-martial. Among those who. ap-
peared before the senate committee to
urge the passage-of this measure, was
w. b. BloodgOod, chairman of the Nil.
waukee council of defense. He a
ed the senators that dire consequences
might result in Wisconsin unless the
government deals more effectively with
o1sloyalty and sedition. Feeling grows
stronger with the departure of every
army transport" said he, land the peo-
pie are likely to go back to primitive
Mr. BlOodgood asserted
that prO-German propaganda has been
widely disseminated in the training
camps where Wisconsin troops have
been quartered, and that German
agents have purchased union cards and
obtained employment in munition fac
tories when they were unable to hit q
nail on the head.
Extension of the espionage law to
apply to women will lead to the ar.
rest of numerous women, though MANY
OF them already have fed from he
country. Most of the spies who run
away go to Cuba, and it has been dis
covered that their headquarters are in
Havana.

At the beginning Of the week the
Germans, finding they could not make
much progress toward Bethune, at
the south part of their salient, because
Of the stubborn resistance of the Brit
ish at Givenchy,' Festubert and LOGON,
turned to the north and undertook to
flank Ypres by driving the British
from the Bailleul-Neuve Eglise, Wul-
Observation-Disclosures line. For two
beaten back with fearful slaughter,
but then Field Marshal Haig was COM
PEELED to give ground and retired from
part of the famous Messines ridge, at
the same time drawing his lines nearer
to Ypres. There was still higher
ground at his rear, however, and his
generals and men displayed a cheerful
optimism that contrasted with the de-
preston caused in England and, to a
considerable extent, in America by
what looked like serious reverses.
Not for a minute did the men who are
doing the fighting admit that they
were beaten or could be beaten by any
forces Hindenburg could bring against
them, and though the Hun, when he
had taken Bailleul, was within "a
miles Of Dunkirk, they still had no idea
Of permitting him to force his way to
the coast.
In the effort to reach the La Bassee
canal and take Hazebrouck, the enemy,
after intense artillery preparation, at
tackled along the front from Meteren
to Robecq, but was repulsed at almost
every point and sustained heavy
losses. The allied artillery was espe-
cially effective here and east Of Be
thune and the Germans found it al
most impossible to bring up their
T transport trains.
On Thursday the enemy resumed
his attacks in the Bethune region,
throwing a number of light bridges
across La Bassee canal near LOGON.
These were swept away by the British
artillery and machine-gun fire and
large numbers of Germans were killed.
Again and again the Germans re-
newed the attack, using more than
$4,000 fresh troops on the 12-miIe
front between st. Venant and Given
chy, but each time they were thrown
back with appalling losses. French
infantry and batteries co-operated
with Haig's forces.

Save for certain engineer units, the
American troops had not yet been-6n-

evidently not daring to come OUT TO
the rescue. The fact that the British
were engaged in clearing the Kattegat
Of mines may portend naval operations
Of moment.
Turning to the east, we find the parts
Of thef former state of Russia being ex-
Melted as fields for German ruthless
ness comparable to that which 0evas-
tated Belgium. According to advtees
in Washington, the Huns Intend TO
make Ukraine an Austro-G German col
ony, and are about to dissolve the rada
and install a Teuton government. Al
ready they are putting Austro-Germans
into all the offices and have
Ukraine off from all communication
with Russia proper. All entente off,
GERS in tbs state have been ordered un-
der arrest. Finland is running red
with the blood of the people Of the
working class and others who oppose
the White guard and the Finnish feu-
dal class. They are pointed out to the
German troops, which have occupied
Helsingfors, and are murdered by the
latter in conjunction with the White
guard. The provisional government of
Finland and tens of thousands of Firms
have retired to Petrograd. The bru-
talities of the Huns are being exhibited
also in Russia itself as the troops push
their way north and east. In one viii
lage the inhabitants resisted. an armed
requIsition for money by German
forces and an officer was killed in the
resulting scufle. Thereupon the Ger
mans burned the town and with ma
chine guns slaughtered the Inhabitants
as they fed from their blazing homes.
Against this and other similar eutrages
Tchitcherin, Russian minister of for
eign affairs, protested to Berlin, ask
ing the punishment of the guilty. But
can anyone recall the infiction of pune
ishment on the Huns who perpetrated
like outrages in Belgium and northern
France?
