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

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.

TUESDAY EVENING,
MORE ATHLETES

day. Several of the companies al
ready organized in squad formation
were out In the parade grounds in
the morning and others paraded in
the afternoon after the band concert.
During the concert many of the sol
diers danced together on the grass
covered parade ground.
While these companies were get
ting their Hrst licks at hiking in col
umns of two, fours and squads, oth
ers were marched to the post hospi
tal up to the little hill overlooking
Lake Ontario, where they bared their
arms and received their inoculations
against typhoid fever and were vac
cinated against smallpox.
This means a long, tedious wait for
the fellows in the rear ranks, for the
surgeons, swift as they have become,
cannot "operate" on one man in less
than between one and two minutes.
A few stragglers reached camp
yesterday. The total registration for
the day was considerably below 100
and the camp roster was brought up
to almost the full quota of 213-4.
Those not now in camp are absent by
permission and are closing up their
business affairs and will reach camp
by to-morrow. It would be impossi
ble for one to regain the lost train
ing. so strenuous is the course fixed
by the War Department.
FAVORS COOK TRACT
Governor Brumbaugh to-day told
a committee representing lovers of
nature, the State Game Commission
and the Wild Life League that he
favored the State acquiring the Cook
tract as a great natural monument
to what Pennsylvania used to be
centuries ag:>. The committee con
sisted of Game Commissioner John
M. Phillips. Thomas Liggett, Pitts
burgh, and James B. Sansom, of the
League.

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.
