play on the French battle front The
French war office today decided to

Argentina Action Was Surprise.
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.l
"
advices announcing that Brazil decid
ed to break off relations with Ger
many and that Argentina would
support the United States position
in reference to Germany were re-
ceived here today. Brazils action
occasioned no surprise in official
and diplomatic circles as such a
course had been expected.
In the case of Argentina, however
it was not made clear whether her
step meant she merely would break
relations or declare war. There had
been indications she would remain
neutral. The action of Brazil and
Argentina is expected to have a
tremendous influence on the other
South American republics.

known to have lost their lives and
121 were injured.
Many of the injured were MORALLY
hurt and it is feared the final death
list will reach $50, while others prob
ably will be MANNED for life.
How any Of the 800 or more en-
ployes in the building, in which was
stored approximately 10000 shells, es
capped, is almost beyond conception, as
there was scarcely fragment of the
structure left intact.
Fire added to the horror. .
An official of the corporation de.
clared that at no time was there more
than one-half a ton of powder in the
building at one time and that never
was in bulk.
Powder Carried In Cans.
"The powder was kept in a maya,
zine on the banks of the creek" this
official said, "and was carried to the
building in cans that hold about two
gallons. From these cans it would be
distributed to the workers who used
gauges to fill the shrapnel shells.
$50 far as we have learned there
were only three explosions.
Two of these were comparatively
light, but the third was terrific, so
powerful that a boathouse $50 yards
away was demolished"
Fifteen minutes after the explosion
the dead and injured were being car
ried out.
Several bodies were fished out of
the marshes 200 yards from the i'll
fated building and it is feared that
others may have been blown into the
river, still farther away.
There were numerous instances OF
heroism. In one of these Captain
Walter Wilhelm, vice president of the
Eddystone corporation, made his way
through smoke and flame into the
wreckage no less than ten times. each
time carrying some one to safety.

GEORGE FOSTER, PATRIOT
Veteran Who Died in Vernon Center
LOYAL to the Elau.

veteran VINO DIED IN vernon Cebter
Loyal to the Flag.
George Foster, the veteran soldier
who passed away at Vernon Center
yesterday at the age of sixty-nine
years, was one of the historical type
of old soldiers which the country
needs at the present time. Born in
England, he came to America during
his early youth, and served his adopt
ed country faithfully and well. At the
time of the Civil war he enlisted in
the Eleventh Minnesota regiment, and
also served in the Indian war.
During his later years Mr. Foster
was a favOrite character in Vernon
Center and noted for his loyalty to
the flag, for which he had fought
during number of the best years of
his life.
During a hotly contested ball game
at Vernon Center a number of years
ago there was fierce rivalry between
the supporters of each team, the fac
lions being divided into the North
and South sides. The North side had
an American flag flying, and the
South side charged, attempting to
capture the flag, and pulled it down
in the dirt. This act aroused the
righteous anger of the old soldier,
who spoke his displeasure in no UNI
certain terms and Old Glory was
again placed on its flag pole to wave
triumphantly in the breeze.

LEMONS BRING OUT THE HIDDEN BEAUTY Make this lotion for very little cost and just see
 for yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard of Ieraon juice to remove complexion blemishes; to bleach the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white this way. Strain through a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white then shake well and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle then this lotion will remain pure and fresh for months When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and hands it should help to bleach, clear, smooth en and beautify the skin.
 Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the lemons.
