inlaw of Louis Swift. the meat
packer, charged with being an enc
my alien, is being held up while

tends that his connection with Ger

COTTON.

New Orleans, Feb. 2S.-Rapid
and nervous fluctuations featured in
the carly trading in cotton here to-
day. On the opening call, the most
active months were 2 to 5 points up,
after which they fell ? to 7 points
under yesterdays close, Immediately
recovering however, and going to a
net rise Of 10 points. The drouth
in Texas was the main sustaining
influence,
Favorable spot accounts widened
the advance to y to q points, but
private reports of rains in Texas re-
suited in more or less selling toward
noon, causing a recession Of about
10 points from the highest levels.

W|FE'S DRESSER
Warns Women Against Cutting
Corns and Says They Lift
Right Out.

Because style DEGREES that women
crowd and buckle up their tender
toes in high heel footwear they suf-
fer from corns, then they cut and
trim at these painful pests, which
merely makes the corn grow hard
This suicidal habit may cause lock
jaw and women are warned to stop
it.
A few drops of a drug called
freezone applied directly upon a
sore corn gives quick relief and soon
the entire corn, root and all, lifts
out without pain. Ask the drug
store man for a quarter of an ounce
of freezone, which costs very little
but Is sufficient to remove every
hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet,
This drug is gummy but it dries
in a moment and simply shrivels up
the corn without inAaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin, (Adv)

WAR SUMMARY.

No basis for peace is found in the
speech of Count Won Hertling by A,
J. Balfour, the British secretary
for foreign affairs. In making the
first official reply to the German
chancellor in the house 1f commons
he rejected the German suggestions
concerning Belgium and said that
he chancellor's professed acceptance
Of President Wilson's four princi-
pies was only Zip service
There was nothing to indicate
that diplomatic conversations with
the central powers in their present
frame OF mind would bring lasting
peace. To undertake negotiations
unless they would lead to the right
ing of the wrongs committed by
Germany, would be the greatest
crime against the future peace OF
the world" Secretary Balfour de-
clared that Germany changed her
policies to suit her needs, and that
Won Hertling offered no new pro-

FOUR AMERICAN
SOLDIERS ABROAD
SENTENCED To DIE

Washington, Feb. Is. - Fc1'
American soldiers, caught aslt
while doing sentry duty in the first
line trenches, have been sentenced
to death, but General Pershing, al
though he has authority to carry
out the sentences, has referred their
case to the war department for re-
view.
These are the first cases OF the
kind since the American troops
went to France. One soldier has
been executed there for an unspeak
able offensc on a French child, and
in his case General Pershing acted
swiftly without as much as referring
it to Washington.
In these cases, however, some eX-
tenuating circumstances may be
found for the men, tired and nerve
worn by front line trench duty in a
hitherto unknown manner of war
fare, to save them from the death
penalty at the hands Of their own
fellows.
President Wilson probably, in the
end, will review their cases. Going
to sleep on sentry duty has long
been recognized as an unforgivable
offense, chargeable by death; and
such cases, rare as they have been
in the American army have fur
nishcd some OF the most absorbing
incidents OF its history. One Of the
most touching rccGllections which
attaches to the memory OF Lincoln
was his pardon OF a country boy
who, tagged out by the hard duty
OF campaigning, went to sleep on a
sentry post
