Washington, March 7.-On a war

larceny Of from $3,500,00C to $4,000, 600

means of truck and automobile con-
tracts, Frank ]. Goldsall, formerly a
private in the French army, was ar
rested here and the federal authori-
ties were asked to return him to
France, He was released in custody Of
a United States marshal.
According to the papers on which
the warrant was issued, Goldsall,
whose name previously was Godsol,
has been indicted in France 1t is
alleged that after being invaded
from the French forces, Goldsall
came to the United States with one
of the French missions, and while not
officially attached to 1t, went about
the work Of letting motortruck con-
tracts for the French army.
Investigation of the operations, it
is said, discloses that he exacted COM

SIBERIAN MOVE
NOT SETTLED
U. S. Only Gave Its Views to
the Allies.
NO FRICTION WITH JAPAN
Wilson Has Neither Assented to Nor
Protested Against Suggestion Of
Japanese Military Expedition.

Washington, March 7.-Altogether
too much af a sensation has been
made cut of Americas attitude toward
a japanese Intervention in Siberia.
The facts do not warrant it and mis-
taken impressions are likely to pro-
duce bad feeling in Japan.
1t is true that the United States has
not assented to the suggestion of a
Japanese expedition, but it is untrue
also that the Washington government
has dissented or protested. What then
has the United States done? Here
is the chronology that will answer
that question:
First, Japan became worried over
the changed condition in Russia. be-.
gan to fear that the thousands of Ger
man and Austrian prisoners loosely
guarded in Siberia would form a MI
cleus that would take possession of
the rans-Siberian railway and men
ace Japan.
Second, Japan did not act on i'm
pulse, but consulted her allies, Eng
land undertook to sound the members
of the entente. France thought it a
wise thing. England herself leaned to
the French view. The United States
made inquiries as to the facts OF the
military situation in Siberia
Third. the United States considered
the matter from every angle and gave
it as her deliberate judgment that the
Intervention by any power in Siberia
at this time might be misunderstood
by the Russian people and for that
reason would be inadvisable.
Fourth, the Washington government
sent no note to Japan nor to the allies,
but in the same friendly and informal
way in which Americas opinion was
asked was the reply given. AS mat
ter of courtesy, the American ambas-
sador at Toxic was instructed to tell
the Japanese government not by note
but orally what the view of the Unit
ed States was. That was for the in
formation of the Japanese govern
ment.
1t can neither be called a protest or
a representation. It is simply an evil
dence of frankness, for when Great
Britain and the United States are dis
cussing what one of their allies should
do, it would not be courteous to Japan
not to tell her what is going on.
Fifth. the situation is by no means
clear even TO our government. Japan
hasn't said she would intervene in ST.
IBERIA whether or not the allies agreed.
Japan hasn't finally decided for her
self what ought to be her course. She
appealed to the allies for advice and
| all gave it freely.
PROFESSIONALLY the assent Of
France and Great Britain will be suffl-
cient and Japan Will go ahead. That
t involves no friction with the United
States, no lack Of faith in japan. but
simply a difference of opinion among
| allies.

DOESN'T COST MUCH
TO TRY IT ANY WAY
Tells how to take soreness from a
corn and lift it right out.

Hospital records show that every
time you cut a corn you invite lock
jaw or blood poison, which is need
less, says a Cincinnati authority who
tells you that a quarter ounce of
drug called freezone can be obtained
at little cost from the drug store but
is sufficient to rid ones feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus.
You simply apply few drops of
this on tender, aching corn and the
soreness is instantly relieved. Short
ly the entire corn can be lifted out,
root and all, without pain.
This drug is sticky, but dries at
once and is claimed to just shrivel
up any corn without inflaming or ev-
en- irritating the surrounding tissue
or skin.
If your wife wears high heels she
will be glad to know of this.-Adv.

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother s
time. She used it to keep h hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen q
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, 1t becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. 1t Is not intended for
the cure. mitigation or prevention Of
