French Officer Pays
Tribute to America
By DANIEL DILLON,
Staff Correspondent of International
News Service.
AT THE PERMANENT AMERI
CAN BASE IN FRANCE, July 21.—
Here is the most eloquent tribute 1
have yet heard for America and its
army. It comes from a high French
officer:
“The democracy of the American
army is kindred to ours. Your men
and our men follow, are not driven
into battle, Your officers and our
officers direct their soldiers; they deo
not bully them. The mutual man to
man understanding in the gervice
sweeps away rank. In the French
army there are ex-Ministers of State,
renowned scientists, artists and cap
tains of industry, In the American
expeditionary forces there are ex-
Ambassadors, milllonaires, two sons
of an ex-President and the sons of a
general,
“Your leading business men are all
gladly fighting for America. Your
army ideals are similar to ours, We
regpect and admire the English, Ital
fans and Russians as brothers in
arms, but the Americans in addition
we love as brothers at heart. The
world's two greatest republics, as
sisted by their allles, will insure the
triumph of democracy over autoc
racy.”

when A\sslstam Attorney General |
William Sipps, acting for the At

ing:
“While the Department of Jus
tice does not take a sensational
view of the reports indicating a
possible enemy activity in the
dissemination of polsoned stick
ing or court plaster, there has
been enough officially reported on
the subfect to warrant thorough
investigation,’ both as to the
manner of distribution and the
germs in the plaster, Conse
quently the samples in hand are
being examined both in Washing

be well for the consuming public
to use no remedies of this kind
except those obtained from ap

} Dr. Floyd Mcßae Points Out Men
- ace of Sending Medical Stu
dents Into Service.
The belief that medical students
should be exempted from the draft in
order to guard against a seareity of
medical experts for civil and military
life is voiced by Dr. Floyd W. Mcßae
in a letter to The Bunday American.
Dr. Mcßae believes the United States
should guard against a repetition of
the blunder made by England, whl(-h‘
found itself greatly in need of physl—‘
clans., His letter follows:
Editor The American: |
I feel a very great interest in ‘
the medical department of the |
army, especially the proper med
ical officering of the new volun
teer and draft armies. [ think
that the matter of draft in fts re
lation to medical students is one
that vitally effects the nation, and
that I am justified in requesting
your ald and advice in the mat
ter,
" In my judgment at least 90 per
cent. of the medical students can
be drafted. These men have al
ready finished their high school
course and all have had at least
one year of college or university ,
work. These are the minimum
| preliminary requirements for en
trance to Class A medical schools.
. On account of the high standard
of educational requirements the
number of medical students in
this country has materially di
minished in the past five years.
It seems to me that Congress
should pass some special legisla
tion to provide exemption, or fur
lough, or detail to students to
continue their medical studies.
The students want to avoid the
appearance in their home comi
munities of being “slackers,” or
from feeling that by econtinuing
their medical studles they are do
ing less than they should be for
their country, or because, €lt "=~
uncertainty of whethér they can
complete their medical education,
they are unwilling or unable to
assume the heavy financial bur
den of a medical education.
I am not acting with the selfish
purpose of relleving individuals
from the draft or of preventing
the loss to medical schools from
a diminution of student enroll
ment, but solely with the purpose
of maintaining the annual supply
of trained physicians for military
and civil needs In time of war.
We want to prevent this country
from repeaung England’s blunder.
I was in London when war was
~ declared by Germany in 1914,
Medical students were allowed to
enlist in the British army. As a
How to Overcome
Foot Troubles
Unless a person has actually suffered
with tired, aching, burning feet or
painful corns or calluses, they can not
appreciate the misery that such afflic
tions bring.
Reports now show that over ”}mr
cent of the American people suffer
from some form of foot troubles and
modern footwear is sald to be causing
an alarming increase In this percent
age. Therefore, the following should
prove of special interest to readers.
Reeentl{ in the treatment of these
foat troubles by patients using Ice-
Mint, these dwlncuve features were
noticeable. red, achlni. burning
and swollen feet {lnvariably become
cool, eun( and comfortable after the
first application, while in the treatment
of corns and calluses, it was noticed
that after a few nights’ atpllcatlon.
the corn or callus had a tendency to
loosen, and in a short time could eas
{ly be lifted out with the fingers—root
and an—leavlnf the surrounding skin
in normal, healthy @ondition.
This, together with the fact .that
Ice-Mint costs little and is so oal{ and
pleasant to apply—and is absolutely
harmless-—is no doubt responsible for
the high indorsement KlVfg it bgv spe
clalists as the surest, safest and most
efficacious treatment for distressing|
foot troubles.
When you stop to consider that the
simple, pleasant process of rubbing a
little Ice-Mint on the foot at night
will shortly rid one of every Kalnrul
corn or callus, and will ke:x the feet
cool, comfortable and rest even on
the hottest days. it {8 easy to under
stand its great popularity and wfiy it
is now used In nurly every American
home. Any one suffering from foot
troubles is advised to give Ice-Mint a
trial. There is nothing better.—Advt.
