FORMALLY OPEN FORT NIAGARA Officers -to- Be Arc Gotten Down to Regular Army Routine Port Niagara, N. Y., May 15. Major General J. Franklin Bell, com mander of the Department of the ( East, attended the formal opening j of the reserve officers' camp here to- i day. The formal opening was brief. No members of the Reserve Offi- 1 ers' training camp will be permitted to cross the border to Canada while i wearing a uniform. This was decided : upon by Colonel Miller yesterday. ! following) a trip made by a party oi j Philadelphians to Niagara on the ! Lake, Ontario, from Youngstown, the j village near the fort. Parties of recruits had been taking | trips to the Canadian side, where j thousands of troops raised by the j volunteer system in Canada have re- j ceived their preliminary training be- j fore going overseas. They spent j hours roaming about camp grounds, got glimpses of the trench works which the troops dug while there, j and also saw the remains of the j (amp formation as it was left when . the troops vacated last fall. The j camp will not be used this summer, i formal announcement was made by the military authorities yesterday. Another order promulgated pro- j liiblts the sale of liquor to any sol- i dier in uniform by the saloonkeep- i ers in Youngstown. There are buts two licensed places in the village. , For weeks the W. C. T. I", and the | Sunday School Association of the i county have been conducting an ac- , tive campaign to have the sale of liquor to the soldiers prohibited by Federal decree. The action was j taken voluntarily by the hotel keep- ! ers of the village. The next thirst quenching place is Lewiston, tive miles away. Liquor Is Banned Many of the men got their first experience in infantry drill yester —" j j Laugh When People ; Step On Your Feet | Try this yourself then pass | It along to others.

This kind of | rough talk will be heard less here j in town if people troubled with j corns will follow the simplo advice ; of this Cincinnati authority, who claims that a few drops of a drug tailed freezone when applied to a tender, aching corn stops soreness j at once, and soon the corn dries up and lifts right out without pain. He says freezone is an ether com- j pound which dries immediately and ! never inflames or even irritates the surrounding tissue or skin. A quar- ' tcr of an ounce of freezone will cost very little at any drug store, but is sufficient to remove every hard or < soft corn or callus from one's feet, i Millions of American women will welcome this announcement since i the inauguration of the high heels. —Adv.

PHILLIPS ARMY RECRUITING IS FALLING OFF Only 87 Enlisted Yesterday; Additional Harrisburgers Are in Camp Army recruiting has fallen off during the last few days instead of being at fever heat, as had been ex pected during the present crisis, ac cording to Captain William F. Har rell of the local office. Yesterday the Harrisburg district sent only eighty-seven men to Philadelphia, an unusually low record, especially for Monday. It is, however, only the second time since the declaration of war that the Philadelphia office has beaten the local office. Captain Harrcll again laid empha sis-- on the fact that the men now enlisting had the word of the Presi dent and Congress of the United States they would be discharged vlien peace is declared. Many posi tions for stenographers, typewriters, and skilled workmen are still open. These positions give the men better wages and better chances than the I rank of those who will be drafted 1 and forced to accept any line of the j service that is given them. John E. Phillips, son of Dr. C. R. I Phillips, of this city, is another liar- I rifburger who is attending the I-'ort! Niagara Iraining camp. He had con- i siderable military training while at ! Stcte College and for two years: commanded a troop there. He made I application for the Officers' Camp' from Philadelphia, where he was at- i tending Temple University. Walter X. Smeltzer, of West Pair view, was in the first contingent 1 which left for the camp. He is a j graduate of Central High school, j ciass of 'ls. and played fullback on 'he football team for two years, j Young Smeltzer is a son of Mr. and I J.irs. William T. Smeltzer and was a 1 Student at State <"ollege. Another who reported at Fort Ni agara camp is Raymond M. Holmes, son of H. L. Holme*, of the Holmes Seed company. He is a graduate of the Academy, 'ls, and has been trav eling for his father's firm. He holds the Academy record for- the 100- ynrd dash, played on chSmpionship tennis teams and Quarterback on the eleven. Frank Redeker. a photo engraver in the piant of The Telegraph Print ing Company for the last four years, has enlisted in the engineering corps being formed for service in France, lie is a native of Wheeling, West Va.. and during his residence in the city ha-s made ljis home at 234 Hummel street. A letter from William I. T.auben- . stein, at Fort Niagara, says that the Officers' Training Camp there is well located, lighted and equipped, and that overcoats have eeen issued be cause there is Ice on the water every morning. Mr. Eaubenstein received his appointment last week and left on Thursday. He served in the Span ish-American war and spent two years campaigning in the Philip pines. He was one of the youngest soldiers to go out from Harrisburg at that time and was tendered a big reception on his return home. Mr Eaubenstein has been interested in many patriotic movements and was secretary of the big Everybody's Pa triotic celebration last month, of which his father. Captain E. Eauben stein, was chief marshal. Nine Infantry, Three Artillery and Two Cavalry Companies at Ft Niagara Nine infantry, two cavalry and three artillery companies have al ready been formed at the Officers' Reserve Camp at Fort Niagara, N. Y. t where many of fhe young men from this city who enlisted have been sent, according to a letter here. About one-third of the 2,500 mem bers of the camp have already re ported and are being assigned to companies according to preferences expressed in applications. The mess | shacks and some of the living quar ters are being rushed to completion : by a small army of carpenters. Training will probably be started this week and all companies will be ! given Infantry drill for about five weeks. One of the amusing situa . tions, according to a letter from •camp, is the seeming oversupply of | rererve lieutenants. One company lias eight, but this is only temporary • and will be properly adjusted before i the camp settles down to work.
