corns are very easy to remove.
Rid your feet Of every corn by ask

London, Sept. 3.-From the region

British Assistant Foreign Minister
Asserts That Allied Wartime Trans
port Council Has Grown and
Organization Is Complete.

London, Sept AT a dinner cele-
brating the conclusion of the delibera-
tons of the Allied maritime transport
council in London, Lord Robert Cecil,
assistant foreign affairs secretary,
made an important announcement re-
specting the pooling Of Allied shipping.
Lord Robert also alluded to the pool
ing Of Allied food supplies and Of
Allied munitions. Incidently Lord
Robert paid a warm tribute to Walter
Hines Page, the retiring American am
bassador to the Court of st. James,
who, he said, had done SO much to as
sist the Allied cause. .~.
limo for Final Blow.
The following are salient passages
from the speech:
1.-THE Allied maritime and transport
council was established last December
at a meeting Of all the Allies. 1t has
grown and its organization has been
completed, but its central principle re-
mains what it always was, the neces'
sityi of Allied control for Allied sup
plies. 1
1--WE have had lately much to cheer
us. But that is no reason for dimin-
ished effort, but rather for increased
effort Now is the time to strike a
definite and final blow at our enemies.
As far as the actual fighting is con-
cerner, that Is in other hands and in
hands which give us no anxiety: We
have profound confidence in our armies
and our commanders.
Must Pool All Resources.
I'm order to feed our armies, apart
from our civil population, We have got
to pool all our resources;. we must
bring together the whole economic
strength Of our Allies. The accomplish
ment of that task is not so easy.
I'm this and many other matters
We are fighting under certain disad.
vantage. Our enemies have been con-
tent to enslave themselves to the Ger
man general staff. That gives them
certain unity of control, certain per-
lection of machinery, which it is diff
ficult for US to initiate. For, after all,
the essential part of our struggle IL
that we are free nations. that we
claim and rightly claim the right to
decide each for ourselves what is
necessary is the interests of the gen
eral cause in which we are engaged"

A barrage preceded the infantry

in clearing the machine gun nests
ahead of the hills. The chief source
of annoyance to the Americans came
from the machine guns in the Bots de

artillery had difficulty In shooting
them out because of the dense woods.
Soon after the American barrage be.
