Washington, July 10.-Statements of German cruelties attributed by a St. Louis newspaper to an unnamed sergeant of tho American expedition ary forces, sent to tho United States to'assist in tho Third Liberty Loan campaign, are donied by Gen. Per shing in a cablegram made public to-night by tho War Department. Gen. Pershing recommended that if the sergeant was quoted correctly, he be returned Immediately to Prance for active duty. Tho statements attributed to the sergeant were quoted in Gen. Per shing's cablegram as follows: "The Gormans give poisoned candy to tho children to eat and hand grenades for them to play with. Thoy show glee at the chil dren's dying writhings and laugh aloud when tho grenades explode. I saw ono American boy, about seven teen years old, who had been cap tured by the Germans, come back to our trenches. He had cotton in and about his oars. I asked some one what tho Cotton was for. 'The Ger mans cut off his oars and sent him back to tell us they want to fight men,' was the answer. They feed Americans tuberculosis germs. "There is no foundation whatever for such statements, based on any experience we have had," Gen, Per shing said. DESERVES A GOLD MEDAL FOR THIS Cincinnati Authority Tells How to Dry Up Any Corn or Callus So It Lifts Right Off. You corn-pestered men and wo men need suffer no longer. Wear tho shoes that nearly killed you be fore, says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops of freezono ap plied directly on a tender, aching corn stops soreness at once and soon tho corn loosens so lt can bo lifted out, root and all, without a bit of pain. A quarter of an ounce of freezone costs very little at any drug store, out is sufficient to take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should bo tried, as it is inexpensive and ls said not to inflamo or even irritate the surrounding tissue or skin.
