PARIS, July 20.-In the event OF
war between the United states
and Mexico or any other country.
France will at once release from
enlistment all Americans now
serving with the French army, who
may wish to return home and
fight for their own country.
The official decision OF France
to this effect was today communl-
Gated to the United Press by high
officials OF the ministry OF foreign
affairs.
The release OF the 10 American
avlators now serving with the

One of the Horrors of War
Is Dysentery

Troops Going to Strange Lands.-One
OF the great dangers, we are told, is that
the poor water and the strange foods
that you will encounter are extremely Ii
able TO bring on severe attack OF
dysentery.
This can so easily and surely be avoid
ed by the consistent use of Benetol. Ten
drops OF Bcnetol put into a glass OF even
impure water and stirred will sterilize
it and render it non-poisonous, and safe
to drink And dysentery will quickly be
relieved if YOU will add from TO 10
drops OF Bcnetol to glass OF water five
times daily Or for severe case drink
the first glass of water with teaspoon
full Of Bcnetol added. These same sug-
gestions apply in case of ptomaine poi
soning or for almost any stomach or IN
fictitious bowel disorders.

While In the Trenches.-Benetol will
naturally become a part OF your daily
life if you will but get acquainted with
it. We have repeatedly read that some
OF the trenches in Europe have become
infested with vermin and various other
unpleasant facts, that are not pleasing
to read about but that seem to be some
OF the unavoidable Accomplishments OF
war. 1t is not unreasonable to believe
that some of our own troops in the south
will be so afflicted And it does not do
to gloss them over or ignore them. So
it is we'll to remember that Benetol in
stanty kills vermin and absolutely pre-
vents the spread OF any and all germ
diseases.
A Word as to Benetol When Used in
Water.-Remember please, that Benetol
Liquid contains a large percentage OF
glycerine (about 81 per cent?. 1t will
instantly mix with and dissolve in hot
water, but when dropped into cold water

NEARLY RIDE TO
DEATH ON CAKE
OF ICE IN RIVER
TWO DICKINSON BOYS HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE FROM
DROWNING.
Went For Ride on Ice in Flooded
River Whirled Out Into
Stream,

Floyd .Smout and Joe Clark, two
Dickinson boys, came nearly riding to
their death Monday on a cake of
ice on the Heart river above the
Dickinson dam. They got on a float
ing cake near the ice warehouse of
the Dickinson Ice & Transfer Co.,
expecting to take just a short ride
along the shore. The block of ice
they were riding on, was whirled out
into the current, however, and rapidly
approached the dam. People from the
shore noted the perilous predicament
Of the boys and notified Chief of
Police Corbett, and he, together with
other men, carrying ropes, hurried to
the scene. The ice cake fortunately
came into touch with a larger one,
however, and the boys jumped onto
this and were able to reach shore,
just in the nick of time before the
block they were on dashed over the
dam to fragments in the whirlpool be-
low. The water was unusually high
on Monday and it would have meant
sure death if the boys had been car
ried over the dam.
J. R. Clark, a brother of one of
the boys, was drowned in the Heart
river only a few years ago, while in
bathing.

NEW ENGLAND PIONEER
MARRIED IN VERMONT

Elwin johnson and Miss Gertrude
B. Armstrong were united in mar
riage at West Berkshire, Vermont,
on January 11th. After visiting for
a few weeks in the Green Mountain
state, Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson left for
North Dakota, arriving at Bowman
on the 18th of February. The mar
riage was great surprise to Mr..
Johnson's many friends here, where
he has resided most of the time since
1887.
Mr.. johnson was one of the pio-
neer settlers at New England, where
he was in the store business with E.
B. Partridge for a time, succeeding
John Dix. Later Mr.. Johnson en-
gagged in the live stock business, hav-
ing sheep and horses at the present
time on Third Creek. He makes his
headquarters with c. C. Mead IS
miles northwest of Midway.
Mr.. johnson makes friends where
ever he goes. He has won a reputa-
tion for honorable dealing and his
friends throughout western North
Dakota are eager to congratulate him
on the important event in his life.
For the present Mrs. johnson is
stopping at the w. L. Austin home
while her husband is looking after
matters at the ranch. They have
not made definite plans for their fu-
ture home.

HEART RIVER CAUSING
BIG FLOODS At MOUTH

The ice in the Heart river, passing
through Dickinson, is breaking up and
the food waters have already receded.
Practically all the snow in the terri
tory tributary to the river has melted
and the water has already run down
the river. Conditions at Mandan,
near the mouth of the river, are quite
critical, however, and the lowlands
are flooded to a great depth in many
places. At the present time the ice
is packed almost into a solid mass
near the mouth of the river, and the
water is cutting through the Mandan
chautauqua grounds, past the mill
through the fair grounds, and it is
feared that the river may cut a
new channel. The Mandan city COM
missioners and the Northern Pacific
railway officials have joined forces
and started work in earnest to pre-
vent the river from cutting a new
bed. A large force of men are en-
gagged in blowing out the ice with
dynamite and attempting to clear the
old channel. Prompt work must be
done to prevent a serious flood in the
Mandan territory.
A big ice gorge near Belfield went
out Wednesday morning and the
waters are rushing down the river al
flood height.

DISTRICT BASKETBALL
TOURNAMENT TONIGHT

The Dickinson basketball team is in
a rather sorry plight for the big
championship tournament to be held
in Dickinson today (Friday) and to-
morrow. Sid Morrison, the teams
crack center, is laid up with badly
sprained ankle, and will be unable to
participate in the games. Frederick
Jessen suffered Charley horse" to
the muscles of his side in a prac-
tice game, and Glen Hollenbeck is
carrying a badly bruised arm in a
sling. But the remaining boys are
still full of grit, and will jump into
the struggle, confident of winning
the championship.
Two games will be played this
(Friday) evening. The first between
Bismarck and Beach, and the latter
between Dickinson and Mandan. The
Dickinson lineup will probably be as
follows: Paul Erb, left forward;
George Butler, right forward; Frank
Richards, center; George Brodie, left
guard, and Joe Brodie, right guard.
Tomorrow (Saturday) evening will
come the final struggle, and Dickinson
expects to be on the firing line with
a vengeance.
The tournament each evening be-
gins at o'clock sharp, and two
games will be played each night.
There may also be an afternoon game
on Saturday, but this has not as yet
been decided.

DICKINSON DISTRIBUTING
POINT FOR CADILLAC CAR

F. w. Turner, proprietor of the Red
Trail Garage, has closed contract
with the Cadillac Motor Car Co.
whereby he becomes the distributor of
the Cadillac car*for all of the Slope
country of North Dakota, except Nor
ton county and portion of McKen-
zie. Mr.. Turner will give exclusive
sales attention to the Cadillac, and
will run service station for that car
in connection with his garage.
Mr.. Turner not only is thorough
machinist and automobile man, but he
is also booster of the first class.
He is president of the National Parks
Highway association, and it was
largely through his splendid efforts
that the Red Trail through North Da-
kota became'a reality, and the fine
new bridge over the Little Missouri
at Medora, built. His garage build
ing, erected last summer, is one of
the finest edifces of this kind in the
state, and is equipped with every
modern convenience for the motorist.
