Sore corus, hard corns, soft coruft or
any kind of a corn cun shortly be

does not Inflame or even Irrltute the
surrounding skin. Just think! You I
eun lift off your corns and calluses ■
now without a bit of pain or soreness. I
If your druggist hasn't freezone he can
easily get a small bottle for you froia
his wholesale drug house.—udv.

Declares American People Had No
Choice But to Take Up Arms—Du-
plicity and Intrigues of the Kaiser's
Government Forced the Conflict in
Which the Nation Is Engaged.
Washington, June 15. — President
Wilson, In Ills Flag duy speech, set
forth the alms of the United States In
the present war, pruetlcally us fol-
lows :
My Fellow Citizens: We meet to
celebrate Flag Duy because this flag
which we honor nnd under which v/e
serve Is the emblem of our unity, our
power, our thought ami purpose as a
nation. It has no other character than
that which we give It from generation
to generation. The choices are ours.
It floats In majestic silence above the
hosts that execute those choices,
whether lu peace or In war. And yet,
though silent, It speaks to us—speaks
to us of the past, of the men and wom-
en who went before us und of the rec-
ords they wrote upon It. We celebrate
the day of Its birth ; and from Its birth
until now it has witnessed a great his-
tory, has floated on high the symbol of
great events, of a great plun of life
worked out by a great people. V"e are
about to carry It Into battle, to lift it
where It will draw the fire of our en-
emies. We are about to bid thousands,
hundreds of thousands. It mny be mil-
lions of our men, the young, the strong,
the capable men of the nation, to go
forth and die beneath It on ileitis of
blood far away—for what? For some
unaccustomed thing? For something
for which it has never sought the Are
before? American armies were never
before sent across the seas. Why are
they sent now? For some new pur-
pose, for whk'h this great flag has nev-
er been carried before, or for some old,
familiar, heroic purpose for which it
bus seen men, its own men, tile on ev-
ery battlefield upon which Americans
have borne arms since the Revolution?
These are questions which must be
answered. We are Americans. We in
our turn serve America, and can serve
her with no private purpose. We must
use her flag us she bus ulwuys used It.
We are accountable at the bar of his-
tory and must plead In utter frankness
what purpose It Is we seek to serve.
No Choice But War's Arbitrament.
It Is plain enough how we were
forced into the war. The extraordi-
nary insults and aggressions of the im-
perial German government left us no
self-respecting choice but to tuke up
arms lu defense of our rights as a free
people and of our houor as a sovereign
government. The military masters ot
Germany denied us the right to be neu-
tral. They titled our unsuspecting com-
munities with vicious spies nnd con-
spirators and sought to corrupt the
opinion of our people in their own be-
half. When they found that they could
not do that, their agents diligently
spread sedition amongst us and sought
to draw our own citizens from their
allegiance, and some of those agents
were men connected with the ofllclal
embassy of the German government It-
self here in our own cnpltal. They
sought by violence to destroy our In-
dustries ami arrest our commerce.
They tried to incite Mexico to take up
arms against us nnd to draw Japan In-
to a hostile alliance with her—and
that, not by Indirection, but by direct
suggestion from the foreign olflce In
Berlin. They Impudently denied us
the use of the high seas and repeated-
ly executed their threat that they
would send to their death any of our
people who ventured to approach the
coasts of Kurope. And many of our
own people were corrupted. Men be-
gan to look upon their own neighbors
with suspicion and to wonder lu their
hot resentment ami surprise whether
there was any community In which
hostile intrigue did not lurk. What
great nation In such circumstances
would not have taken lip arms? Much
as we had desired peace, It was denied
us, ami not of our own choice. This
ting uuder which we serve would have
been dishonored had we withheld our
hand.
Relations With German People.
But thut is only part of the story.
We know uow as cleurly as we knew
before we were ourselves engaged that
we are not enemies of the German peo-
ple and that they are not our enemies.
They did not originate or desire this
hideous war or wish that wo should he
drawn Into it; and we are vaguely con-
pclous thnt we are fighting their cnuss,
ns they will some dny see It, nr. well as
our own. Tliey ars themselves in the
grip of the snme sinister power thnt
hns now nt Inst stretched Its ugly tal*
on* otlt and drawn blond from tts. Ths
whole world Is in the grip of that pow-
er nnd Is trying otlt the great battle
which shall determine whether It l to
be brought under tts mnatery or fling
Itself free.
The Wat was hejnin t>y the military
funsters of Germany, who proved to h*
ihp the iptisirrs of A* i'iu-1! tngnff.
These men have never regarded na
tlons as peoples, men, women, nnd
clilldreu of like blood and frame us
themselves, for whom governments ex
lsted antl In whom governments had
their life. They have regarded them
merely as serviceable organizations
which they could by force or Intrigue
bend or corrupt to their own purpose.
They have regarded the smaller states.
In particular, and the peoples who
could be overwhelmed by force, us
their natural tools and Instruments of
domination. Their purpose has long
been avowed.
Military Masters Dominate Germany.
Their plan was to throw a broad belt
of .German military power and political
control across the very center of Eu-
rope and beyond the Mediterranean in-
to the heart of Asia ; nnd Austria-Hun-
gary was to be nn much their tool ami
pawn as Serbia or Bulgaria or Turkey
or the ponderous states of the East.
The dream hail Its heart at Berlin, it
could have had a heart nowhere else!
It rejected the Idea of solidarity of
race entirely. The choice of peoples
played no part In It nt all. Tliey ar-
dently desired to direct their own af-
fairs. would be satisfied only by undis-
puted Independence. They could be
kept quiet only by the presence or tne
constant threat of nrmed men. The
German military statesmen had reck-
oned with nil that and were ready to
deal with it in their own way.
Deceitful Cry for Peace.
Is It not easy to untlerstund the eag-
erness for peace thnt has been mani-
fested from Berlin ever since the snare
was set und sprung? Peace, peace,
peuce has been the talk of her foreign
office for now a year and more; not
pence upon her own Initiative, but up-
on the Initiative of the tuitions over
which she now deems herself to hold
the advantage. Through all sorts of
channels It has come to me, and in all
sorts of guises, but never with the
terms disclosed which the German gov-
ernment v-jultl be willing to accept.
That government still holds a valuable
part of France, though with slowly re-
laxing grnsp, antl practically the whole
of Belgium. It cannot go further; It
dare not go back. It wishes to close
its bargain before It Is too late
The military masters under whom
Germany Is bleeding see very clearly
to what point Fate hns brought them.
If they fall back or are forced back
an Inch, their power both abroad and
at home will fall to pieces like a
house of cards. If they can se-
cure pence now with the Immense ad-
vantages still In their hands which
they have up to this point apparently
gained, they will have Justified them-
selves before the German people; they
will have gained by force what they
promised to gain by It: an Immense
expansion of German power, nn Im-
mense enlargement of German lndus-
trlnl nnd commercial opportunities. If
they fall, their people will thrust tnero
aside; a government accountable to
the people themselves will be set up
In Germany as It has been in England,
in the United States, in France, and
In nil the great countries of the mod-
ern time except Germany. If they suc-
ceed they are safe nnd Germany and
the world nre undone; If they fall Ger-
many is saved and the world will be at
pence. If they succeed, we nnd all
the rest of the world must remain
nrmed, as they will remain, and must
make ready for the next step of ag-
gression; If they fall, the world may
unite for peace, and Germany may be
of the union.
Practiced Campaign of Deceit. .
The present particular aim of the
masters of Germany Is to deceive nil
those who throughout the world stand
for the rights of peoples nnd the self-
government of nations; for they see
whrtf Immense strength the forces of
justice nnd of liberalism nre gathering
out of this war.
The sinister intrigue Is being no less
actively conducted In this country than
In Russia ami In every country In Eu-
rope to which the agents nnd dupes of
the Imperial German government can
get access.
Is a People's War.
The grent fact that stands out above
nil the rest Is that this is a People's
wnr, n wnr for freedom nutl Justice ami
self-government amongst all the na-
tions of the world, a war to make the
world safe for the peoples who live In
It nnd have made It their own. the
German people themselves Included;
nnd thnt with us rests the choice to
break through all these hypocrisies and
patent cheats antl masks of brute force
and help set the world free, or else
stand aside nnd let It be dominated a
long nge through by sheer weight of
arms nnd the arbitrary choices of self-
constituted masters, by the nation
which can maintain the biggest armies
and the most Irresistible nnnarnents~
n power to which the world hns af-
forded no pnrnllel and In the fuce of
which political freedom mint wither
and perish.
For us there Is but one choice. We

It Is a common sight now to see a
nattily clad, spatted and cane bearing
gentleman lugging up paper bags of
onion sets or rhubarb roots on the sub-
way to be installed In miniature back-
yard gardens or even on roofs or In
window boxes. It Isn't too much to
