Leonard Wood, commanding the East- orn department of the army, has rec- | ommended to Secretary of War Baker that there be called into the federal service for a period of intensive train- ing all the oflicers of the reserve corps who live'in the states included in the | present territory of the department. There are between 300 and 900 reserve officers in the department, a majority of whom live in New York, Pennsyl- | vania and the New England states. General Wood’s suggestion is for two camps, one in the north, probably in New York state, and the other in one : of the southern states. ! New officers of the reserve corps are | Pbeing commirsioned every day; and as 81l of them will exercise junior com- ‘ mand in the armies which will short- | ly he called Yor, General Wood thinks that no time should be lost in getting | these men into camp, where they can recelve a maximum of practical” and DON’T HURT A BIT! Lift your old, torturous corns and calluses right off with the fingers. This tiny bottle holds the wonder of wonders. It contains an almost magi- cal drug discovered by a Cincinnati man. It is called freezone. It is a compound made from ether.. . Apply a few drops of this freezone upon a ten- | der, aching corn or a hard- ened callous. Instantly the soreness disappears and shortly you will find the corn or callous so shriveled and loose that you just lift it off with the fingers, You feel no pain or sore- ness when applying freez- one or afterwards, It doesn’t even f{rritate skin. L Just ask n any drug store for a small bottle of freezone. | This will cost but a few cents bt will | positively rid your poor, suffering feet of every hard corn, soft corn, or corn between the toes, or the tough cal- louses on bottom of feet. Genuine freezone has a yellow label. Look for yellow label. Hzery, the | % field training in the shortest time. His suggestion is now under consideration by Secretary Baker and the general staff. Every Minute Valuable. “In my opinion,” said General Wood yesterday, “every one of these men should be in camp at the earliest pos- sible moment. Every hour of addition- al training that can be possibly be provided should be given to these men. They hold important commis- sions in our service now, and nothing should be left undone to fit them to exercise efficiently whatever com- mands they will have in the armies that are to be organized.” General Wood is also of the opin- fon that practically all of the seacoast fortifications are now available for training young men. To these reser- vations could be sent thousands from Pl ——————— ) i WHY HAIR FALLS OUT } Dandruff causes a feverish irritation | of the scalp, the hair roots shrink, ‘loosen and then the hair comes out fast. To stop falling hair at once and rid the scalp of every particle of dan- druff, get a 25-cent bottle of Dander- ine at any drug store, pour a little in your hand and rub well into the scalp. After a few applications all ‘dandruff disoppears and the hair stops com- ing out. LOOK AT CHILD’S TONGUE IF SICK CROSS, FEVERISH Mother! Remove from little stomach, liver, bowels. poisons Give “California Syrup of Figs” at once if bilious or constipated. Look at the tongue, mother! If coated, it is a sure sign that your Iit- tle one’s stomach, lver and bowels need a gentle, thorough cleansing at once. ‘When peevish, cross, listless, pale, doesn’t sleep, doesn’t eat or act natu- | rally, or is feverish, stomach sour, breath bad; has stomach-ache, sore throat, diarrhoe€a, full of cold, give a teaspoonful of *“California Syrup of Figs,” and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, undigested food and sour bile gently moves out of {ts little bowels without griping, and you have a well, playful child \ again. Yon needn’t coax sick children to take this harmless “fruit laxative;” they love its deliclous taste, and it always makes them feel splendid. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bote tle of “California Syrup of Figa® which has directions for babies, chfi- dren of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on the bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold here. To be sure you get the genuine, ask to see that it is made by ‘“California Fig Syrup com- pany.” Refuse any.other kind with contempt. : Arain our men in all parts of the country. It is esti- mated that Fort Munroe, Va. alone, can care for at least 500. Fort Ham- fiton could care for another 200, Fort Totten the same number, and the oth- er forts between Galveston and Port- land,, Me., from 50 to 300 young men. The general would glve to those who attend these fort training camps the status of cadets. The government now has in re- serve about 600,000 old type Spring- fleld rifiles, and about 300,000 Krag- Jorgensens. General Wood thinks that these guns could be used in trainifng men in all parts of the coun- try, the men to receive the regular army Springfield as fast as those guns can be turned out. “How about uniforms for these thousands of men who would be in at- tendance at these camps?” General Wood was asked. “Like guns that can be attended to later,” General Wood replied, “for if a man can be taught to handle a gun properly we need have little worry about how he will wear his uniform when he gets it. If necessary he can civilian clothing. That was done in England at the be- ginning of the war.” “The college and university corps are doing splendid work, and I am hoping that it will be possible to keep them {n continuous training until they may be needed by the army, Prince- ton, Harvard, Yale, the University of Pennsylvanid, Columbia, Wesleyan, Cornell, in fact practically every lead- ing college and university in this part of the country now has a corps of students undergoing a course of mill- tary training directed by army officers. I think these organizations should be continued all summer {if necessary. They have the dormitories, mess halls and the @rill grounds, and there is no reason why any college corps shouid te disrupted and the men trans- ferred to any other camp or organi- zation.” General Wood has not forgotten the Plattsburghers either, and is, anxious to get two training camps for business and professional men going at the carliest possible moment. NO INTERNMENT OF AMERICANS, Germany Will Treat U. S. Citizens As ‘We Treat Hers. Berlin, April 14, via London.— There will be no internment of Amer- jcans in Germany. After a conference .between the po- litical and military authorities it was announced that the German govern- ment would treat Americans here on virtually the samo lines as those laid down in President Wilson's proclama- tion concerning the treatment of Ger- mans in the United States. Amesicans here will have almost every frecdom, and so far have en- Joyed the same freedom as is accord- ed to neutrals, except they are not allowed to reside in fortified places and are subject to stricter police reg- istration requirements. They may carry on their business as before. FURTHER PROOF OF LOSS OF BREMEN Owners of Bond Coupons Aboarfl "~ Ask for Reissne New York, April 14.—Further proof that the German submarine Bremen was destroyed or lost at sea was re- vealed in the financial district yester- day, when it was learned from a trust company that a large batch of cou- pons of American railroad bonds which were on beard had never reached the consignees. The affidavit in the possession of this institution, showed that the giant undersea boat had cleared the port of Hamburg with a cargo in which were the coupons. Further than this no other informa- tion was given. In the belief thht there is no chance of the Bremen reachng America, those to whom the bond coupons were shipped recently made application to the issuing companies that new cou- pons be issued. The ingenuity of the Germans in shipping securities to this country was disclosed by the statement that the bonds, from which the coupons had been detached, had arrived safely, presumably on the Deutschland. The face amount of the bonds was said to have been iess than $1,000,000. Left in August, 1916, A Copenhagen dispatch received in this city by way of London on Au- gust 24, 1916, indicated that the Bremen had left Hamburg and was well upon her way to New London, her port of destination. It has been be- lieved that the British admiralty was in possession of the real facts con- cerning the boat’s fate,%but no state- ment was ever issued to clear up the mystery. February 21 a dispatch from Stock- holm said that the Bremen had not been lost, but that her failure to ar- rive at New London was deliberately planned. This was denied later in an- other dispatch, which said that infor- mation obtained by the Associated Press indicated that the boat . had been lost in a storm. The request by the governing com- mittee of the stock exchange that the members compile for the federal au- thorities all information in their pos- sesslon showing the amount of cash and securities held in this country either by or for the account of alien enemies brought forth new estimates as to the amount of American secur- ities held by Germans. Bankers who received consignments of stoeks and bonds on the Deutschland estimated that. the ameunt now on &eposit here was between ,25 000,000 and $50,000,- 000. ! Grandmother,” HAIL GRANDMOTHER | OF THE REVOLUTION, Royal Reception Ends Forty-Four Years in Exile Petrograd, April 14.—The arrival of Mme. Catherine Breshkovskaya ' was the occasion of a dramatic gath- ering of veterans of the former revo- lutionary and terrarists times to give her an enthusiastic and emotional ! welcome. All Petrograd, in fact, turned out to acclaim the “Grandmother of the Revolution” on her homecoming from Siberia, where she had spent forty- four of her seventy-three years in ex- fle. A vast crowd, waving red flags and singing the - “Marseillaise,” ex- tended down the west end of the Nevsky Prospéct as far as the Nik-, oelaievsk. ‘When the Associated Press corre- spondent arrived he found the crowd trying to storm the station, to which were admitted only veteran Nihilists and a deputation from the ministry ot justice, headed by Minister of Jus- tice Kerenski, together with delega- ticns of welcome from Petrograd, Moscow and Dorpat universities and High schools. At the suggestion of M. Kerenski, the reception committee adopted a plan unique in Russian history for the welcoming of Mme. Breshkovsk- aya—a plan symbolizing Russia’s | transition from autocracy to democ- | racy. The welcome took place in| the gorgeous suite in the railway sta-! tion called the Imperial reception rooms, which under the old regime were used only for the reception of royal personages. The large drawing room in this suite, which had been the scene of meetings of the world’s most powerful monarchy, was now the gathering place of the world’s most extreme democrats, republicans and socialists. Around the room . were scores of baskets and wreaths of flowers, the scarlet tulip predom- inating—a flower which bids fair to become the floral emblem of the New Russia. The flowers bore various in- scriptions, such as ‘“To Our Dear “To Russia’s Martyr Heroine.” Revolutionary Veterans Thére. Among the revolutionary veterans the correspondent found Mme. Vera Figner, Mlle. Vera Zassulich, ‘the former Duma member Pianuich, and Professor Nicholas Morosoff. Mme. Figner spent twenty years in jail, but was released some years ago through a whim of Nicholas IL. after he had been pleased with the singing of her brother at a concert. Under her heavy fur cap she looked like the typical Beroine of a Nihilist romance. Be- !slde her stood Mile.

By an irony of the revolution, General ‘Trepoff’s son, former Premier Trepoft, is today a prisoner in the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul. 5 Conversing with Mlle Zassulich was M. Pianuich, who sat in the-second Duma under Premier Stolypin and was sentenced to death on a trumped- vp charge of conspiracy to murder Emperor Nicholas and was led through the streets of Petrograd in chains. Also there was Professor Morosoff, a famous chemist and commentator : of the Apocalypse, who was suspected ; of advising the conspirators who made the bomb . that killed Alexander II. Professor Morosoff for twenty-three years never left his cell in the Schius- selburg fortress. Ife was released af- ter the revolution of 1905, but was again imprisoned a year later. ‘“Tell your people the revolution | this time has achieved a final and ir- revocable triumph,” he said to the correspondent. “A -new era has come, which will transfigure Russia and irradiate the whole world.” As the train arrived the crowd again attempted to storm the staion, crying, “Let ' us see Grandmother.” The militia quieted them, explaining the danger of a crush and assuring them they would all be allowed to participate in the welcome of Mme. Breshkovskaya who was eager to See all her “grandchildren” and be seen by them.
