FRANK COMMENT BY PARIS PRESS AS TO REVERSES

Dptomistic . Vein, However, Prevails in the Views of Critics. (By Associated Press.) PARIS. May 30. A noteworthy point In connection with the present great battle Is tho freedom allowed the military critics In their articles. Henri Bidou, for instance, is allowed to say in Le Journal this morning that It .was "certainly distressing that the enemy succeeded is recapturing in one day our conquests of 1917," and admission which is considered virtually certain the previous censorship would not

tave passed. 'M. Bidou, however, inspires confidence in the final ' result, which, he forecasts, will be a repetition of that incident to Germany's last two great efforts. The German success, this writer declares, is due to the enemy's ability to maneuver his reserves within the arc of the front In a way which admits of a crushing mass to be suddenly thrown against any weak point. But the enemy's object, he points out. Is not to recapture territory but to obtain such a victory as will end the war. "It Is a duel to the death," he concludes, "and every hour in which Germany fails to obtain the decision increases the imminence of her defeat" London Opinion. (By Associated Press.)

LONDON, May " 30. The Daily

Chronicle, commenting on the German advance, fears the advance has Involved a big loss In guns, but thinks that In other respects it need not cause undue alarm. The paper adds: "The country is so difficult that Gen. Foch's reserves should have time to intervene before the strategic situation is altered seriously to the detriment of the allies. The Germans, however, probably have done rather better than they expected, although their achievement thus far does not go much beyond undoing the effects of last year's French victories." "If the German successes had been won two months ago," says the Dally Graphic, "they would have created a widespread feeling of alarm. Experience, however, has shown that initial successes frequently are followed by long pauses of impotence."

COMMON TRICKS

Acts just like a wireless message and "ouch" is . the answer

Press an electric button and you form a contact with a live wire which rings the bell. When your shoes press against your corn it pushes its

sharp roots down upon a sensitive nerve and "ouch" you get a shock of

pain.

Instead of trimming your corns, which merely makes them grow, Just

step into any drug store and ask for a

quarter of an ounce of freezone. This

will cost very little, but is sufficient

to remove every bard or soft corn or

callus from one's feet. A few drops

applied directly upon a tender, ach

ing corn stops the soreness instantly, and soon the corn shrivels up so it

lifts right out, root and all, without

pain. This drug never inflames or

even irritates the surrounding skin.

The registered men's clubs which have been organized in several townships of Wayne county have already demonstrated their worth, according to J. C. Kline. Wayne county agriculture agent, and leader in the organisation work. For the purpose of giving the younger generation some useful work to do during their leisure hours pig raising contests are being conducted in some of the townships under the auspices of the registered men's club. The first week that, the Clay township men organited the members visited all farmers in the township and gathered up all of the loose and left ovfer seed corn they could find. This was brought together at a central point and sold at cost to farmers who did not have enough seed corn. This same plan was followed in Washington township. Pine Acre Com Contests. In the various townships that have already been organized, Kline has asked the members of the clubs to take part in the five acre corn contests that the being held throughout Indiana under the auspices of the Indiana Cora Growers' association. The men have responded willingly and as a result about 80 have already entered these contests. Harry Gilbert, Wayne county food administrator, has heartily endorsed the contests and said that he believed it was the patriotic duty of every young farmer to take part. The United States Department of Agriculture has also endorsed the contests. "America needs all of the corn and wheat, and every other kind of food produce that can be raised on the farms this year," Kline said. "The clubs understand this and I wish to say that they have responded with a will in entering these corn contests. There will be a com show here this fall and several of the men will exhibit ears from their contest fields." The principal purpose of the registered men's clubs is to do all that is possible in helping to win the war. Stamp Out DisloyaltyIt is the duty of every member to help stamp out the disloyal element that is bound to crop up in some districts. Whenever a member hears a man or woman make a disloyal statement, or knows that they have committed a disloyal act, it is their duty to report the matter at once to he county council of defense. The members will be called upon to help in every war move. They will be

It has been announced that a plan may be followed in Wayne county similar to that inaugurated in Warrick county. Indiana, where the first registered men's club in the United States was organized. Men who failed to attend the meetings and could give no good reasons for this failure, have been compelled to sit on what is known as a "Slacker's" bench beside an effigy of the Kaiser. The Indiana state council of defense, and the Wayne county council, have gone on record as favoring these clubs. The state council has urged that they be established in every county throughOut Indiana, the opinion being expressed that the members of such an organization can be just as valuable to the government in the winning of the war as. the men who wage the fight in Europe.

PATRIOTIC SERIES 5 The decision of Belgium to upheld its national honor and entity, or yield to the humiliating terms 'of the Huns, already threatening its borders, had to be made over night. But King Albert and his Council met the issue squarely and firmly. Evidently to them there could be but one answer. And when the King in his splendid address to his Parliament, plainly but forcibly pre sented the entire situation to them, closing with these ringing words: "Are you determined at any cost to maintain the sacred heritage of our ancestors?" The answer came back as from one voice; "At any cost, by death if need be." 5 How the brave country has stood behind its king is undying history and glory now. "Every inch a king" is our American phrase for him, "King Albert the Brave," the poet's a hero to whom the whole civilized world will pay loving and grateful tribute to the end of time. O. E.
