fORTY.fOUR BODIES
Es WASHED ASHORE
NO IDENTIFICATION MARKS
WILL BE BURIED IN
ONE GRAVE.

An Irish Port, Feb. S.-The bodies
of "A of the missing 101 victims OF
the Tuscania disaster were washed
up today on the rocks 15 miles from
the scene of the torpedoing, All were
Americans and their bodies were mu-
tilated beynod recognition.
A pathetic feature is that, although
all the victims wore tags, no identi-
fication numbers had been put on
them because these Americans had
not as yet been assigned to definite
army units. Therefore. there is no
way to identify them and they will be
buried in one grave.
II the attack had occurred in day
light the whole ships company might
have escaped. But in the darkness
of a moonless night, with the ship
rapidly listing, so that some of the
boats could not be launched, while
some were smashed by the explosion,
and with many men aboard who had
never been on the ocean before, there
were all the possibilities Of general
panic and wholesale drownings. AS
il was, many were rescued from the
sea after hours on wave washed RATS,
some even swimming supported by
timbers, and their sufferings were in
tense. A number succumbed after
being taken aboard the rescue boats !;
others after they had been brought
ashore.
Washington, ID. c., Feb. 8.-Much
satisfaction is found by officials here
in the unofficial accounts of the de-
struction of the British liner Tus-
cania by a German submarine which
showed that a destroyer, presumably
British, gave chase to the raider and
possibly sank her with depth bomb
No details of the attack had come
tonight from official sources. They
are awaited eagerly. Sorrow over
the first loss of a transport laden
with American troops is tempered by
the growing total of survivors, and
the dominant emotion among army
and navy men now is the desire tc
strike back.

| They reckoned not of the reign OF
| death and destruction that fell all
about them. Huge shells might blast
the sides of the trench, but the flow
ers needed them not at all. From
| the woodland there also crept softly
| down over the SCARED sides of this
stony trench the lovely green leaves
| of the ground ivy.
Nature was setting her seal of as
surance and of permanent reality

be covered by the kindly processes
of springtime. The upspringing life
of the earth will win the victory

episode.
Flowers From the Battlefield
AS that one particular spot in the
extended battlefront is typical of a
great and beneficent principle. so the
war itself has come to represent, in
the minds of most of us, a construc-
tive, rather than a destructive force.
| We see that the conflict is not an
end. 1t is a process, a way out. Ter
rible as are many of its aspects. it
nevertheless stands for a great de-
liverance from an old and intoler-
able order. Only because we regard
it as the purging fire of a just and
beneficent and far-reaching Cod to
xrrl, fsrlNN
peace, can we be reconciled to this
overwhelming tragedy. Beyond the
portals of this death lies a spiritual
and national resurrection for the
peoples of the earth. Humanity is
now undergoing a great and terrible
Becoming. This is the faith that sus-
tains the world-and puts an ade-
quate motive into all our enduring
and sacrificing and suffering. 1t is
the flower of the resurrection truth
blooming amid the war blasted
trenches.

new life that is coming to our men

of the same experience befalling

cheerfulness and sympathy and

caught up countless lives that once
seemed small and ennobled them into

dreams of the sociologist of a de-

her Churchianity, Great Britain holds
anew the truth of a living and risen
Christ, and of an eternal life with

The War in Old Jerusalem
How inseparable the new religious
thinking of our time is bound up
with the facts of the life of Jesus
| is shown by the remarkable public
| interest in the capture of Jerusalem
| by the British. There was enacted
| the tragedy of all time. Christen-
dom looks with reverence upon the
| city of the Holy Sepulchre. The
] popular imagination has looked upon
General Allenby's victory as a new
crusade rescuing the holy places of
our faith from infidel control. While
| the crucifiXion and resurrection of
our l<Oru are great spiritual 1aCtS,
having significance dissociated
from time and place, yet the actual
scene of the events is sacred soil to
all the world.
Resurrection is synonymous with
victory. 1t stands for the triumph
of truth and of God. That is why
the resurrection note sounds in so
much of our war literature-as in
stance this poem of our war said to
| have been found on the body of
fallen Austrian soldier:
Ye that have faith to look with fear
less eyes,
Beyond the tragedy of world at
strife,
And know that out of death and
night shall rise
The dawn of ampler life.
Rejoice, whatever anguish rend the
heart,
That God has given you a priceless
dover,
To live in these great times and have
your part
In Freedoms crowning hour,
That We may tell your sons who see
the light
High in the Heavens-their herit-
age to take,
Il saw the powers of darkness put
to fight,
saw the morning break"

Rules For Sending
War Prisoners Mail

Washington. The rules govern
ing letters sent to prisoners of war
in the central empires should be
closely followed, according to a bull
letin just issued by the American
Red Cross. This bulletin and the
arrangements made by the Red Cross
to deliver letters to Americans who
may be in the central empires, brings
home to the people that some of
their soldier boys are being sent to
German and Austrian prison camps.
The letter should be addressed
with the name of the man, his num-
Der and rank, if any, his regiment
and company and the prison camp in
which he is held.
On the upper right-hand corner
should appear American Prisoner of
War Mail, Post Free" On the low
er left-hand corner must appear the
words via New York
These letters should be mailed in
the usual way. They should be writ
ten on one side only, of not more
than two sheets of paper. The same
rules apply to letters to allied pris-
words "Allied Prisoner" instead of
American Prisoner" must appear"
If there is money to he sent, it
must go through the Bureau of
American Prisoners Relief American
Red Cross, Washington, d. c. The
same applies to checks, drafts, or
postal orders. They are to be drawn
to the order of the American Red
Cross and sent in the same way
Because of the overcrowding of
the mails and also because there is
no way of safely checking the iden-
tity of individual prisoners, the send
ing of parcels to allied prisoners
from this country is not deemed ad-
viHable. IF, however, persons would
like to do so, money may be sent to
the Bureau of Prisoners Relief. and
it will arrange with some recognized
society in England or France to pur-
chase the parcels and forward them.

had at any drug store
for a few cents. You
simply apply a few drops
of freezone upon a ten =
der, aching corn or a
hardened callus. In
stantly the soreness dis
appears and shortly you
will find the corn or cal
lus so loose and shrivel-
ed that you lift it off
with the fingers. Not a
bit of pain or soreness is
felt when applyi n e
freeZone or afterwards.
1t doesn't even irritate
the skin or flesh.
For a few cents one
can now get rid of every
hard corn, soft corn, or
corn between the toes, as
well as painful Calluses
