BATTLE FRONT MAY

RUSSIA
War Conference is Held at
Washington, D. C.
DECISION IS REACHED
Wilson's Watchful Waiting Seems at
End Vladivostok and Kola Ap
pear to Be Storm Centers.
Washington, D. C Developments
Saturday tended to Indicate that a new
battlefront may soon be established
In Russia. The German menace,
steady advance of which has been re
ported for some time In dispatches,
appears at last to have reached a
point where the watchful waiting at
titude ot the American administration
has been challenged.
The Russian situation Is understood
to have been the subject at a confer
ence at the white house between Pres
ident Wilson and Secretaries Lansing,
Baker and Daniels, Admiral Benson,
chief of naval operations, and General
March, chief of staff.
There was no announcement after
the conference and probably will be
none for the present, but It was said
unofficially that an important decision
had been reached.
Urgent appeals from the allied gov
ernments for American approval of
and co-operation in joint measures to
meet the German menace through
Russia, have been before President
Wilson for several days. Until now,
however, there has been no intimation
that he had changed his position,
based upon recommendations of his
military advisers, that a successful
military effort in Russia was not feas
ible. For military reasons, strictest secre
cy is observed concerning the exact
nature of steps proposed by the allies.
American and allied naval forces
now are guarding war supplies both at
Vladivostok, terminal of the Trans
Siberian railroad and Kola, terminal
of the railroad on the Arctlo coaBt.
which is reported threatened by Ger
man forces in the Interior.
In some quarters It has been said
that since the United States regarded
intervention purely as a military prob
lem, the president, heretofore an op
ponent of military action on the
ground of impracticability, would be
guided by the decision of the supreme
war council at Versailles and General
loch.
Reports Saturday that the supreme
war council had given a decision were
not confirmed in official circles.

seat and plunged downward while his
plane skimmed on without a pilot for

ments by officers at Gerstner aviation

An examination nf tha wraolred ma.
chine developed that the safety belt
was untastenea at tne time of the
accident, causing Major Mitchel to fall
from his seat as the plane went Into

cause for the belt belne nnfnntanarl It

MeatMustBeSold
Fresh meat is perishable. It
must be sold within about two
weeks for whatever it will bring.
A certain amount of
beef is frozen for foreign
shipment, but domestic
markets demand fresh,
chilled, unfrozen beef.
Swift 8c Company can
not increase prices by
withholding meat, be
cause it will not keep fresh
and salable for more than
a few days after it reaches
the market.
Swift & Company cannot tell
at the time of purchasingcattle,
what price fresh meat will bring
when put on sale. If between
purchase and sale, market con
ditions change, the price of meat
must also change.
The Food Administration .
limits our profit to 9 per cent on
capital invested in the meat
departments. This is about 2
cents per dollar of sales. No
profit is guaranteed, and the
risk of loss is not eliminated.
As a matter of fact, meat is
often sold at a loss because of
the need of selling it before it
spoils.

The Old-Time Cord.
The most common method ot mak
ing cord wood Is to cut the trees into
four-foot lengths with an ax and split
the larger pieces. The pieces are then
piled in a standard cord, which is
eight feet long, four feet high and four
feet wide. The contents are 128 cubic
feet, of which 70 per cent is wood and
30 per cent air. This is the old-fashioned
regulation cord of wood.

CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS
You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says
this Cincinnati authority, because a
few drops of freezone applied directly
on a tender, aching corn or callous
stops soreness at once and soon the
corn or hardened callous loosens so It
can be lifted out, root and all, with
out pain.
A small bottle ot freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but will
positively take off every hard or soft
corn or callous. This should be tried
as it Is Inexpensive and Is said not
to Irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get a small bottle for you
from bis wholesale drug house. It Is
fine stuff and acts like a charm every
time. Adv.
