4 Primer Sentiment.

From the Shreveport Journal
 An expression of loyalty that is worthy of embedding in the perna- nent record is that of Carl Bellweg, a German-bon citizen of the United States, living in Kansas. BeIlweg sums up in exactly ninety words the real cause of the native-born Germans now dwelling in this country He says;
 l speak from the viewpoint Sf
 the foreign-born. l, and millions
 of others like me, came to this
 country alone, without friends
 We sponged on all America ha |.
 her free lands, her free schoois,
 and, above all, ner spirit of open
 hearted comradshlp. She owed
 us nothing, but she gave us all.
 We swore allegiance to her flag,
 her constitution and her laws. Va
 would be recreants, ingrates, per
 iurers and CUTS if, in the hour of
 her need, we counseled with Der
 enemies and were disloyal to her cause.
 If every German-American felt like Bellweg, the war would be over much sooner than we can now hope for. For, unquestionably, much of the de- lay experienced in preparing his country for the conflict has been due to interference and false teaching of the Communications, who mistook their duty to their deserted Father land.

GIRLSl ITS YOUR
 STEP THAT ATTRACTS
Says Women Pay Too Much Heed to Their Face Instead of
 Their COrns.

Watch your stepl A brisk, lively step is what charms more than love- ly skin, but your high heels have caused corns and you limp a little. That's bad, girls, and you know it. Corns destroy beauty and grace, be- sides corns are very easy to remove Rid your feet of every corn by ask ing at any drug store for quarter of an ounce of freezone. This will cost little but it is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn ol callus from one's feet.
 A few drops applied directly upon a tender touchy corn relieves the sore ness and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out without pain. This freezone is a gummy substance which dries instantly and simply shrivels up the corn without inllam g or even irritating the surrounding skin.
 Women must keep in mind that cornless feet create youthful step which enhances her attractiveness.

Chancellor von Hertling insists that Russia has not been "dishonored."

CARDINAL LAUDS
 JUNIOR RED CROSS

Cardinal Gibbons has issued an ap- peal to teachers and pupils of paro- chial schools throughout the country to cooperate in the campaign to enroll the school children of the United States as members of the Junior De- partment of the American Red Cross.
 The campaign opened on Lincoln's birthday and will close on Washing tons birthday. A determined effort will be made to enroll every school in American Red Cross. Cardinal Gfb- bons' message reads:
 "The President of our beloved coun- try, who is also President of the Red Cross, has issued a call for all schools of whatever kind to become auxiliaries of the Red Cross, and each pupil in each school a junior member of the Red Cross. His desire is not only to add the efforts of all the children to the work of the Red Cross in sustain ing the fighting forces of the nation, but to teach by practice to the children LuOS0 lcSSOHS O1 unS0luSu IONS anu service which must be part of the ed ucation of every child if this republic is to endure as a Christian nation and remain the haven of Freedom.
 Services of Children Needed.
 "In this time of peril our country needs the services of the children as well as the adults, and in the days to come she will need still more the clear heads, the honest hearts and strong and steady hands of men and women who today are school children.
 Therefore ask and urge that each of you make full response to the call of our President and that each school become a Red Cross auxiliary, thus making every pupil junior member. It is a privilege, no less than a duty, for the children to help baer the bur dens of the momentous hours of Amer. ica's trial, and in the days of her grat itude for final victory to rejoice that they have helped to preserve her as the home of liberty. (Signed Faith fully yours in Christ, J. Card. Gibbons Archbishop of Baltimore"

WAR FINANCE
 CORPORATION

The bill recently introduced in Con- gress for the creation of the War Finance Corporation with a capital stock of five hundred million dollars, all of which is to be subscribed by the United States, should be be re- garded, says the Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo. primarily as a measure to enable the banks, both national and State banks and trust companies, to continue to furnish es- sential credits for industries and enter prises necessary or contributory to the prosecution of the war.
 The Government has made and is making through the Liberty Loans such large demands upon the lenda- ble capital of the country that the banks often have been prevented from giving needed help to private enterprises, some of which are per forming vital service in connection with the war.
 The War Finance Corporation is de- signed as a war measure to give relief from this condition during the period of the war and Secretary McAdoo as- serts that the mere existance of the corporation would of itself do so much to maintain confidence that it's actual aid would be necessary only in rela- lively few cases.
 This is no hastily conceived 1egis- lation. Secretary McAdoo has taker the most expert advice available ard the methods adopted in the othel countries at war have been throughlJ studied. The proposed law emoodie! the basic principles of similar law which have been tried in Europe. IL purpose is to attain the most efficien use of our country's tremendous fan cial resources for Government an' for private enterprises, whicn are al necessary to the welfare of the coun try and our success in this war.
