 AGAIN' H0N0RtD
 FOR HEROIC ACTS

 Said to Have Wrecked B r.. German Planes.

British Front in France and Bel gium, Aug. 1S.-By the Associated Press )-From a section of the French front comes word that the renowned aviator, Capt. George Guynemer machines, making 52 he has account ed for. Guynemer visited headquar- ters to receive decoration from a distinguished Rumanian general. The Associated Press correspondent saw the medal pinned on lthe breast of the intrepid airman beside numerous others he won, including a decora- ton from the king of the Belgians the day before.
 Guynemer undoubtedly was proud of the honor, but he was much dis turbed over an article which has just appeared in Berlin paper saying he is not really brave but that he flew at great height and attacked enemies by sweeping down on them The purport of the story was that Guynemer did not play the game fairly.
 Guynemer sWOre vengeance for this canardl and as he walked away after receiving the decoration. with a deter mined look upon his face, he gave full indication as to what he had planned.
 It may be added that he appeared to hold the deepest veneration of French soldiers. As he strode out of the head quarters grounds yesterday with his breast blazing in the sun from many medals the soldiers stOOd at atten- ton all along the way, even those who were inside the offices rising to their feet as tribute to the hero.

Property Loss Estimated at Millions Believed Sui
 fered in Canada.
OFFICIALS SAY
 CAUSE ACCIDENTAL,
Oehli"ad Machinery Causes Fire Which Is Responsible For ExplO- Sions That Destroy Great Plant
 oi Curtiss & Harvey in Quebec.

Montreal. Can, Aug. 1S.--A report from Rieaud, Quebec, late today esti- mated .hc dead in CuItss x Harvey powder explosion at from 17 to 9 persons.
 Search of the ruins for bodies has not been possible, as the shattered remnants of the building still are blazing.
 A roll call of employees will be made to ascertain if possible the exact number of dead, This work has been made difficult because the first ex- ploSion occurred Whe nthe workers were changing shifts.
 It was stated that it has been established that two foremen are among the missing, and it is thought certain they were killed. About 30 persons were injured.
 The difficulty of rounding up the thousands of workers was increased by the fact that hundreds of employees have scattered through the country side in their flight fer safety. It was reported tonight that the company officials had been warned that the plant would be blown up, but as several threats had been re- ceived before, the most recent warn- ing also had been ignored. Officials stated they are satisfied started by overloaded machinery and were entirely accidental.
 Five thousand men and women are employed at the plant, which covers an area of five square miles. The | property loss will reach into the mill lions.
 Three Main Explosions.
 From points near Rigaud it was learned that three distinct main ex- plosions took place. The first at 9 o'clock was heard in Vaudreuil, 20 miles away. It was followed by two others in quick succession. The ex- plosion disrupted the telephone and telegraph communication with Ri- guad, making it difficult to obtain in- formation.
 The first explosion was caused by the overheating of the machinery in the nitric acid building. The flames leaped along through the building and another explosion occurred Other explosions occurred every five minutes or so, shaking the sur- rounding country like series of earthquakes. Altogether 15 detona- | lions were counted. One of the explosions blew down a number of houses in Dragon where most of the workers lived and farm houses in the vicinity also caught fire. Provision was made by the people of Rigaud for accommodation of the homeless workers.
 The extent of the explosion may be judged by the fact that two farm houses over mile from the plant were blown down. Rigaud is post village in Vaudre- uii county, Quebec, on the Riviere al La Graise, 45 miles southwest of Montreal. It had a population prior i to the war of about 1000 persons.

UNIVERSITY BOYS
 GfI FINE RCE0kD FOR COMMISSION
Fayetteville Institution Graduates Numerous
 Among Officers.

Fayetteville, Aug. 17.-The list of commissions granted at the close of the Reserve Officers training camp at Fort Logan H. Roots, Arkansas, shows that S5 former University of Arkan- sas students were granted commits sions. Eight of these were made cap- tains, eight first lieutenants, and six ty-nine second lieutenants.
 Quite a number of university men had previously been transferred to Fort Riley, Fort Meyer, and other places. A number of these also receiv- ed commissions, making the total num- Der of commissions granted to univer- sity men about 100 out of 138 who were enrolled in the training camp at Fort Roots. This is a remarkable showing since of all the men enrolled in all the training camps in the coun- try not more than twenty-five per cent obtained commissions.
 The large number of second lieuten- ancies granted to university men was due in themain to their youth. The majority of the university students en- rolled in the training camps were either students in the university in the past year or very recent graduates. The remarkable record made by these men at Fort Roots is a strong argu- ment for the efficiency of the military department which has been maintain ed at Fayetteville for many years.
 Among the former university foot ball stars who received commissions were G. T. Blakeley, A. B. Cypert, A. A. Zoll, John J. Carroll, F. H. Christopher, Galloway c. Harrison, Chris Reichardt, Leslie T. Mcintyre, James T.. Murrey. and w. E. Brad ford.

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week the Breed Wal present The Fall of Nation, Thomas Dixon s mighty sequel to The Birth, of a Ma ton. This thrilling motion picture spectacle deals with love and war and, as the author describes it, Is "a bugle call to arms for the national defense" The story is of an imaginary invasim of the United States by a foreign power After the defeat of our puny army and the subsequent usurpat1on of authority at Washington the wom- en of the country come to the rescue and by means of a secret, oath-boI1nd conspiracy contrdve to expel the in vaders.
 MT. Dixon, the author and producer of The Fall of a Nation, is emphatic on one point-that this preparedness spectacle is not anti-anything, and was conceived entirely from an American standpoint, and he did not care to an- tagoniZe any nation in order to incuf- cate the lessons of patriotism and pre- paredness-
 The original Victor Herbert score will be rendered by an orchestra of ten pieces and will be performed in it's magnificent entirety during the pres entation at the Breed exactly as pro- duced at the Liberty theatre, New York, and the Illinois theatre. Chicago.

If Food Disagrees
 Drink Hot Water

When food lies like lead in your stomach and you have that uncomfort- able bloated feeling and your stomach is sour and burning, 1t is usually be- cause of insufficient blood supply to the stomach combined with acid and food fermenta ton.
 In such a case the best and safest treatment you can possibly use is to take teaspoonful of pure bisurated magnesia in half a glass of water as hot as you can comfortably drink it.. The hot water draws the blood to the stomach and the bisurated magneSia, as physicians can tell you, is a power. full but harmless aIbtacid which quickly neutralizeS the excess acid sweetens your stomach contents and stops food fermentation
 This hot water and magnesia treat ment is a far better plan than that of swallowing some pill or tablet which simply artificially digests Your food and sends it still a sour. fermenting acid mass into the intestines. where it will do almost as much harm as in the stomac oh.
 As there are various forms of mag nesia, be sure in following above dfrec- tfons to ask the druggist for Bisurated Magnesia (either in powder or tablet form). which is especially prepared for correction of stomach acidity.
 Try this simple plan of using Bi- surated MagneSia after meals to pre- vent food fermentation and to neutral ize stomach acidity. You will be aston ished at the immediate relief and com fort that always follows the~restoration of the normal process of digestion.
