CONDEMN EFFORTS
FOR PREMM PEACE
NEW YORK, Dec. 26.—The League
for National Unity today issued a de
claration, signed by its officers and
executive committee, in which all es-
forts toward a prematura peace are
condemned and the determination of
- continuing the war until a military
victory is achieved and the autocratic
{ »ower of the Imperial German gov
eminent is broken, is pledged. i
“We are in the war to conquer the
enemy’s armies,” declares the state
ment, "though not his territory or
population. We intend to nullify the
power of the Imperial German gov
ernment. We do not intend that it
shall gain, at the expense of other
nations, either ‘an enlargement of ter
ritory’ or ‘an expansion of industrial
and commercial opportunities' or an
increase of prestige.’
"When German military reverses
obliterate past victories and the war
map becomes unfavorable, no doubt
seme of the German parties will begin
:■» consider the peace principles ot
world democracy," the state concludes.
But no influentiol German party yet
sees coming defeat. There is, there- ,
fore, as yet no common ground for •
discussion between the partisans of j
might and the partisans of right.
'’The Imperial German government,
foiled and defeated in its plan to crip
ple the great self-governing nations of
the world, first frahce, next England,
last the United States is seeking to j
achieve through its proposals for peace •
what it has been unable to obtain by
arms.
"The German Imeprial government
seeks a compromise in the irrepres- >
sible conflict, between autocracy and
democracy before it shall before it i
-hall be too late. All who are willing
to compromise on this issue are will- ;
ing to aid despotism, as all who urged |
compromise on Abraham Lincoln in .
he Civil War aided slavery. The Amer- j
lean people today are fighting for their ,
own liberty as well as for the free- :
-tom of the world. The cannot be
safe for democracy so long as an or
ganize 1 autocracy —its people still be-
Ilcveing it victorious—is intrenched in
he center of Europe leading 10,000,00
jrr'el men and possessing the re-'
sources of one rundred and seventy ■
million people in the world’s central i
’ osttion for all seas and continents.” (
Averting that the underlying cause <
for America’s entrance into the war .
was that the German government’s '
< net:; -■ ered our saftej- and challenges
our f-eedom. the statement declares
that "President Wilson was the true
spoilsman of the American people
when he said in his message to Con- .
gre s that American people arc im
pat t with those who desire peace (
by i-n.- sort of compromise."
compromise is conceivable,”
cont'nues the declaration, "if the Ger- '
man government is not utterly brought
to a and by military defeat or politi- j
aal solution from within. Since a.

ARGENTINE ACTRESS
ACCUSED AS ONE OF
GERMANY’S SPIES
BUENOS AIRES. Dec. 26.—Few
women have ever been so popular and
so belovgd by the Argentine public
as Elena Theodorinj, an opera singer
famous in this country, who was ar
rested by officers of a French cruiser
on a charge that she was a spy in the
employ of Count Luxburg, the former
German minister here. Count Lux- ■
burg received his passports from the
Argentine government for sending to 1
Germany a suggestion that Argentine
j ships be sunk without trace.
; La Theorodini, as she has always
i been called in Argentines, took pass- .
j age on board a steamer for Europe in ,
■ company with a group of theatrical
: persons whe were known to be friends .
of Count Luxburg. The steamer was 1
halted off Montevideo by British crus- !
i ers and some of the others of the
i theatrical group were placed under ar- i
t.st. but Thedorini was not molested.
; until the steamer was overhauled by 1
I a French cruiser off the Spanish coast. |
News that the cruiser had taken her (
from the passenger steamer on
charges of espionage was a surprise •
to Theodorini’s admirers in this city ,
for the general public did not know, I
as did diplomatic circles that she had
been in recent years a great friend of
Count Luxburg and a member of a 1
circle of theatrical women who were
dined and wined at the residence of ■
the German diplomat.
La Theodorini came, to Buenos Aires '
in 1884. Singing leading parts in well i
known operas she soon achieved a .
wide reputation and afterward became ‘
so attaced to Argentine audiences that
she made her home in this city. Sifice >
then she ha 4 figured in the musical'
and theatrical life of Argentina, al-i
though she had retired from the
operatic stage.
?One of her acts which endeared her ,
to the Argentine public was her ap- !
plication for naturalization inasmuch '
as she was the first woman of a for-,
eign country to take such a step. Last
year she paid a visit to New York,
where a festival was given in her
honor by the Metropolitan Opera stars.
She returned to Buenos Aire; in Feb

RAILROADS ARE MOVINl)
TENTH MORE COAL
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—Improve- !
i tent in transportation conditions, as ’
affecting coal was reported to the
Fuel Administration today by A. W. |
Thompson, Chairman of the General

TOIO, Dec. 26. —The annual army ;
manoeuvres this fall differed from
i those of preceding years in two re-
■ npects. First, there was some at
' tempt at air fighting, although only ;■
i few machines were used. The work.
• however, was sharply’ done, and for
i the first time in Japan. The other
! departure was the adoption of German
i tactics for the concentration of troops
■ by railways. The attacking army, too,
I was larger than the army of
:i nd this was an unusual feature. The

A RAW, SORE THROAT
Eases Quickly When You Apply
a Little Musterole.
And Musterole won’t blister like the
old-fashioned mustard plaster. Just
spread it on with your fingers. It pene- j
trates to the sore spot with a gentie
tingle, loosens the congestion and draws
out the soreness and pain.
Musterole is a clean, white ointment
made with oil of mustard. It is fine for
quick relief from sore throat, bronchitis,'
tonsilitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, ncu-,
ralgia, headache, congestion, pleurisj’, >
rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches of
the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles,
bruises, chilblains, frosted feet, colds on
the chest (it often prevents pneumonia).
Nothing like Musterole for croupy chil
dren. Keep it handy for instant use.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-R ECORDER
NEW CONSTITUTION
5 FOR IM PROBABLE
i PEKING, Dec. 26.—The Chinese re
- ( public, must have a new constitution,
3 r a new election law and parliament
i ;nust be re-organized, in the opinion
( of 'President Fong Kwo-chang, and
>■Premier Tuan Chi-jui.
i An effort to achieve these objects is
, in progress in the sessions of the new
I National Council, called by the Presi
s dent and the Premier for that purpose.
; Most of China’s governmental diffi
.' unities during the last six years were
t attributed by Premier Tuan in an ad
diess to the National Council to im
• 11 rfections in the constitution. It is
i the desire of the President and the
Premier that a new constitution shall
. be adopted and that it shall contain
' provisions for satisfactory co-ordina
tion of the executive, legislative and
judicial branhee of the government.
Both officials pointed out in addresses
to the Council that it was the absence
j ot such provisions in the present con
stitution that led to-the outbreak of
numerous| revolts which have tran- j
spired in this country since the begin- '
ning of the attempt to organize a re
public form of government.
The President the Premier apparent
ly have divergent views as to whether
the new constitution should be promul
' gated by the National Council or by
. a new parliament to be summoned
: after the work of the Council is flnlsh
' cd. President Fong told the Council
that he sincerely hoped that after it
had revised the Chinese election laws,
, parliament would be called upon to
j draft and promulgate the constitu
tion; but Premier urged the Council
itself to amend the fundamental law
of the Chinese state.
“Unless we have a strong and sound
government, we never will be able
; to survive the struggel of the nations.” ,
j declared the President. “To form a
nation and to establish it on a firm
i basis is a co’lossal task. Six years
is too short to prove whether govern
ment by the people is suitable for
China. Therefore, I entertain great
expectations for the success of your
task.’’ i

TELLS HOW TO TAKE SORENESS
FROM A CORN AND LIFT IT
RIGHT OCT.
Hospital records show that every
time you cut a corn you invite lock
jaw or blood poison, which is needless,
says a Cincinnati authority, who tells
you that a quarter ounce of a drug
called freezone can be obtained at lit
tle scost from the drug store but is
sufficient to rid one’s feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus.
You simply apply a few drops of'
this on a tender, aching corn and the
i soreness is instantly relieved. Short
' ly the entire corn can be lifted ou’’,
root and all, without pain.
This drug is sticky, but dries at once
and is claimed to just shrivel up any
1 corn without inflaming or even irri
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.
If your wife wears high heels she
will be glad to know of this. adv
