After discussing the selective draft act, and extolling the men who have been drafted, General Kuhn. exhibiting much feeling, warned the youthful officers that they must practice the doctrine of a square deal as faithfully as they preach it. Fighting for Democracy "If is a democratic army and fighting for democracy," he added, "and all men who come here must be placed on Ian equal plane. The farmer boy must be given the same status as the lawyer who has put aside his profession to fight under the Stars and Stripes.

You must treat every man wi'th the greatest, consideration, for your conduct toward them will have an important, bearing on their success as soldiery General Kuhn described the difficulties that the officers will encounter when they apply the rigid rules of army discipline but if they follow his instructions it will be a happy camp.

Instantly the soreness disappears and sh6rtly you will find the corn or callus so loose and shriveled that you lift it off with the lingers.

Not a bit of pain or soreness is felt when applying freezone or afterwards. It 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 toes, as well as painful calluses bottom of feet. Everyone who es freezone becomes an enthusi because it really doesn't hurt or one particle. Ladies! Keep a tiny bottle on the dresser and never let a corn or callus ache twice.

ROOSEVELT URGES THE PROHIBITION Of Papers Printed in Lan guage of Any of Our Enemies CHATHAM, Sept. 5. Theodore Roosevelt, in a speech here today at the Columbia County Fair on America's part in the war, urged enactment by Congress of legislation which would prohibit publication of newspapers printed in the tongue of any nation with which the United States is at war.

"We must have one language the language of the Declaration of Independence, of Washington's fare well address and Lincoln's great speeches," the former President said in part. "The leading German papers of this country have been scandalously disloyal to the United States, and to humanity. "The obscene cruelty and brutality of the German armies under the explicit direction of the German government has been of such unspeakable foulness that it is a crime against this nation and against all mankind directly or indirectly to uphold Germany; and all who do not heartily back the United States, and the allies of the United States, against Germany are guilty of this crime, and are' disloyal to this country. "Above all, any man, and any Senator or Congressman or editor, who seeks to exempt Americans of German descent from ser vice in the army against Germany is a traitor pure and simple; he should be proceeded against under the law, if possible, and if that is not possible the law should be amended so as to make his offense a crime." The Colonel said "the highest honor at this time should be paid to the American in whole or in part of German blood whose loyalty to the X'nited States in this crisis has been whole hearted and without re serve." Besides insisting upon undivided Americanism, Colonel Roosevelt said, the farmer and the wage earner must receive Justice. By direct action of the state, the farmer should be se cured from exploitation, he declared, and producer and consumer brought together "without paying toll to those middlemen who do not serve a use ful purpose." "The man who makes a1 huge profit but of the war," the Colonel 'is an enemy of his country; and an organization like the In dustrial Workers of the World, which is playing the German game in this country, and whose preaching and practice spell destruction to civiliza tion, is as much an enemy to this country as a hostile army.

"The unscrupulous profiteers and the workingmen who refuse to do first class work for first class wage are really the allies of our enemies and, of course, the pro Germans, the professional pacifiists, the men who wish an inconclusive peace or a peace without victory, the Industrial Workers of the World, the Socialist machine, are not merely allies of our enemies, but are themselves our enemies. "We should work in the spirit of the body of men representing the Railroad Brotherhoods whom I ad dressed not long ago; whose chairman in introducing me said that the one purpose, now that the country was at war, was to help the country in every possible way, not only by making it a matter oC pride to do their work with the utmost efficiency and pending the war to insist on nothing in their own interest unless it was primarily in the interest of the country as a whole." Colonel Roosevelt warned against governmental restriction of profits to the extent that would reduce produc tion, urging caution against "unrea sonably low prices, especially as regards what the government itself uses, and as regards exports." He advocated "heavily graduated inheritance and income taxes," which he asserted should follow the English and German models. Regarding American war activities in general the former President said: "We are fighting for humanity, but primarily we are fighting for our own country, for safety of America in the world. We are fighting on the other side of the water so that we may not have to fight on. thi3 side of the water."

5. War is reaching into the American kitchen to draft the cook and maid of all work. The maid power of "America was none too ample, when the war began. It was constantly recruited, like the labor market, from Europe, and this supply is almost entirely cut off. At the same time the munition factories, railroad and office buildings are calling for women workers at wages the average American family cannot match.

The maid famine is nationwide. Miss Grace Abbot of the department of labor, now organizing the enforcement of the Palmer Owen Child Labor law in effect September 1, knows more about its fundamentals than any American woman. For many years, as the agent of the Immigrant Protective society of Chicago, she came into daily contact with the raw material from which the servant body of America was fashioned. She holds out little hope of relief. "There has always been a shortage in domestic help in the United States," says Miss Abbot.

"The woman with small children, and not robust enough to do much work, needs help in the house. The English woman of the moderately well to do class has always had two efficient servants where her sister was glad to "get one untrained one. "Of course the rich will not suffer. But the woman who wants a maid of all work to assist with small children faces harder conditions' every day. "Before the war German, Austrian, Slav, Polish and Hungarian girls came over every year and many went into service.

The war has shut off this supply entirely. "A few years ago in Chicago we placed inexperienced immigrant girls at $4 per week. We have no difficulty in getting $6 for the same unskilled class The munitions plants offer more money than the family can pay." Miss Abbot does not look for much relief after the war. Wages will remain high and the demand for workers in countries, which have had a large part of their men killed or crippled, will keep the workers at home or enable them to demand top wages in America. influx of negro families into the north has not helped the north but has made the servant problem acute in the south.

The servant shortage is driving thousands of American families from detached' homes into apartment houses, where there is less domestic work to be done. $200,000,000 MORE FOR ALLIES Loan Divided Equally Between France and Great Britain Aid to Entente Totals $2,266,400,000 WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.

The report embodied a suggestion that the judicial opinions should not "give the impression of being dis coveries by the judges of what they never knew before, but that they should read as if the judge knew the existing state of the decisions and assumed that everyone else did and that it was his business to show the necessary development from established principles and their application to the particular case." The committee asserted that the increasing volume of reported cases Is a burden for which, some relief must be found.

Other reports offered for action Included the presentation of a com prehensive model code' of insurance laws, suggested for adoption by Con gress in the District of Columbia; In dorsement of the contention of the United States that Germany has vio lated the provisions of international law by its methods of warfare, and condemnation of Socialism.
