Washington, Maerli 7.-More sub marines wore destroyed by Hie allied and American naval forces lu Decem ber than (lormnny was able to build liming that month, according to in tonation roaching Washington.

It is believed, however, that the anti-submarine campaign has proved so effective thnt increased efforts this spring will see a steady decrease in tho number ot I)-boats available to prey on allied and American shiliping. Feeling of Optimism. What officials know of plans for pressing home tho attack with In creasing vigor, explains the feeling of optimism that prevails ii? official cir cles despite continued heavy drains on ship tonnage through the U hoats, Tho gradual 'decline in ton nage losses was graphically pictured to Parliament by sir Eric with curve eba iis, American naval officials appear to he natisilcd thal tlie weapons with which tbey expect to crush filially tho submarine monaco are forthcom ing. Increased numbers of patrol vessels Of various types, appliances and devices to make them more ef fective against underwater craft and the increased skill of navy person nel are among Ibo things upon which they count, lt bas taken lime to de vise and build the weapons, hut thoy are beginning to become available now. When tho United States entered tiio war, the navy contributed promptly all that lt had available to loin in the submarine bunt. Slr Kric paid high tribute in his remarks to tho spirit and efficiency of American naval unitB, crediting them with a fair share of what had been accom plished. Vice Admiral Sims' de stroyer forces, however, constituted only the advance guard of what the American navy planned to furnish for the light. Kven with that limited aid. the allied navies have held the enemy and are now destroying ono out of ovovy tour or five dorman U boats that put lo sea. A merlon's Hein Starts. Now America's real contribution to the naval warfare is about to bo felt. With every passing week, the strength of the force will grow, for it is embodied in the most extensive construction program ever underta ken for the navy of any power. The now ?lestloyers and oilier craft must bo added to the patrol fleets gradually as tbey are construct ed. Therefore, no sudden fall off of tonnage losses is lo be expected, lt has been slided publicly hy high liritish naval authorities, however, ?hat next August will show beyond question thai tho U-boats have been overcome. There are officials hero who aro hopeful that decided results will be apparent before that, perhaps as early as May or .lune. Soldier (iocs to Prison. Greenville, March 7. -Private Roy K.

LI KIO AX ELECTRIC HUTTON ON TOES Tells Wliy a Corn ls ?o Painful and Says Cutting Makes them Grow. Press an electric hutton and you form a contact with a live wire which rings the bell. When your shoes press against your corn il pushes its sharp roots down upon a sensitive nerve and you get a shock of pain. Instead of trimming your corns, which merely makes them grow, just step into any drug store and ask for a quarter of an ounce of freezone. This will cost very little, but ls suf ficient to remove every lia rd or soft corn or callus from one's feet. A fe\v drops applied directly upon a tender, aching corn slops the soreenss in stantly, and soon the corn shrivels up so it lifts right out, root and ail, without pain.
