collaborated with foreign builders
and discovered that the European
tendency was toward the valve-in-
head motor overhead camshaft type.
Upon his return 10 this country he
set to work on a Chalmers motor OF
this design The great war halted
further operations abroad and the
Chalmers company was thus first to
market n car built along this prin-
oiple.
The success which this type of
motor met abroad has been duplicat-
ed in America. At indianapolis and
Chicago an overwhelming majority
of the cars 10 finish in the winning
class were built along these lines.
c. A. Pfeffer. vice-president and
assistant general manager of the
Chalmers company stated yesterda
that July. 1915. was the biggest July
ir the history of the company. The
business showed nearly 800 per
increase over the business OF the
corresponding period last year.
The Chalmers Motor company has
just announced that Helene Dut-
rieu, world famous French aviatrice
has been appointed Chalmers dis
tributor for all of France.
Mile. Dutrieu Chavalie de la
legion de rhonneur came TO this
country to secure Chalmers repre-
sentation. Prior TO her sailing for
New York she was stationed at the
government hangar at Paris doing
aeroplane scout duty. During the
battle of the Msrne she drove a Red
Cross ambulance between the battle
front and Paris.
Mile. Dutrieu is best known as the
first woman aviator in France. hav-
ing been decorated by the govern
ment as Chavslie de La legion de
i'honneur.
Nile. Dutrieu has been familiar
with the automobile business abroad
for the past Is years. and she be-
lieves there Ia q great future for
American cars In Europe immedi-
ately after the war;.
IAN OF the French factories are
making war munitions now" she
said. "snd II will take them some
time to recover after the fghting
ie over" She is particularly enthu-
sjastic over the Chalmers line be-
cause of the Six-40 built with the
vMve-in-head motor and overhead
camshaft. This is the type toward
which all European design was tend
ing before the war. and the popular
demand is naturally for q car Of this
type.

ITS NEUTRALITY
ARMY MORTIFIED AT FULL WAR
STRENGTH-35O,O0 900 MEN
UNDER ARMS

New York, July 10.-Holland is re-
lying on the United States to firmly
establish the rights Of neutral na-
tions in the war, according to Rev.
Van Dyke, who for six months acted
as secretary to his father, DR.. Henry
Van Dyke, American minister to Hol-
land and Luxenburg.
In his first address since his return
from Holland, Rev. Van Dyke said
that the Dutch is in accord with
President Wilson's policy as outlined
in American notes to Germany.
"Holland is still apprehensive," he
said. "She is ready for any eventu-
atty. Her army mobolized at full war
strength, is l believe, factor to be
reckoned with. I do not think that
$4,000 is to high an estimate to the
number of men the Kingdom has mo-
bolized. In her firm attitude Of neu-
trality, Holland resembles the United
States. The Dutch adopted neutrality
of their own accord and are ready to
defend it. 81 think thev would fight
no matter who violated their neu-
trality. Holland known that geo9rap-
ically it is in q perilous position. Dutch
shipping is suffered for two causes.
German submarines sink their ships
and British patrol boats delay them"

ARMORED MOTOR
CARS ARE USED
DETAILS OF FIGHTING AT OAR.
DANELLES INDICATES THEY
WERE EFFECTIVE

London, July 12.-Reporting in de-
tail how the British and French
forces took five lines of Turkish
trenches during recent attacks on the
Gallipoli peninsula, a Reuters cor
respondent discloses that armored
turret motorcars were used in the
trench warfare. Heretofore the use
of these cars has been restricted
mainly to reconnaissance and raiding,
especial yin cooperation with aero
planes, the purpose for which they
were built.
1t was surprise, even to the Brit
ish soldiers, to have the armored
cars to come up to help in the rout of
the Turks. The cars, which are in
corporated as part of the royal naval
secretly and hidden, in anticipation
of the fact that they might be help
full, Notwithstanding that the roads
there We're anything but ideal for
automobile work. When the allied
movement began on June 4, at noon,
the armored turret cars made their
way from their station through loose
dust, more than ankle deep and over
SfOunQ pllLeu WllH smell nOleS, ana
across the British trenches over
bridges that had been laid for them.
They moved up to the very edge Of
the first Turkish line of trenches, but
there they had to halt. as they could
not leap the deep and wide caverns
which the Turks had dug. The ap-
pearance of this new and formidable
weapon enhanced the general state
of confusion and terror. in which the
Turks seemed to await the attack and
when the cars opened fire with the
Maxim guns which each carried in a
turret. they scattered the Turks to
the rear.
But as soon as the Turks had re-
covered from their surprise, they
found the cars CONSPICUOUS targets.
Bullets began to ping against their
armored sides and shells fell around
them. and one cars turret was knock
ed off, but nobody was killed.
The correspondent said one prize
of the day was "the largest bag of
Turkish prisoners yet secured, and
the capture of several German OFF,
GERS and blueiackets from the former
German cruisers Goeben and Bres-
lau."

MEMBER OF STATE
-..e... HEALTH BOARD
VISITS WILLISTON IN ANSWER
TO CALL-HIS REPORT
FOLLOWS
Willist0n-Suvey

The Health Officer, DR.. LaBerge, Of
Williston phoned me to come to Will
liston to assist his in carrying out
some sanitary reforms. I left Thurs
day night, July 1st, on No. l for that
place and report conditions as fol-
lows:
The great menace to health existing
in the City is that Of waste water, gar
bage and night soil disposal. Many
property owners, and those too in good
circumstances, having property abutt-
ing on street with sewer do not take
advantage of connecting their prop
erty with the sewer but maintain un-
slightly and insanitary outhouses.
In the resident districts many peo-
pie are using the alleys for refuse
and manure affording breeding places
for flies which carry disease germs
everywhere. Cheaply built houses
for rental purpose are made unin-
habitable by wet cellars, and time
worn wall paper was also found.
Recommendation
1. It was recommended and order
ed by the State Board of Health that
persons having offered them sewer ad-
vantage to make use of it; otherwise
to construct and maintain sanitary
closets.
2. That alleys shall not be used
for refuse and manure but that ssni-
tary cans be installed at each dwell
ing for refuse and garbage and that
air tight boxes be maintained for
manure-the same to be hauled away
at frequent intervals during the sum-
mer months.
8. That butcher shops, bakeries
and restaurants be enioined from
keeping around their premises live
fowls or animals to be sold for food,
and that such places be kept free from
noxious odors and in sanitary con-
dition at all times.
4. That insanitary buildings used
for human habitation be made inhab-
table or condemned or closed up un-
til properly renovated.
find that the City Of Williston can
boast of it's wide-awake officials and
law abiding citizens and that great
progress is being made along sanitary
lines which will place Williston among
the foremost cities of the State and
make it an attractive and healthful
place to live.
