CHAMBER Of COMMERCE
 GETS SANITARY WORK
City Government at Request of Trus- tees to Cover Sewer Drainage at
 River Bank.

Mayor Simon Bloom yesterday or dered city workmen to cover a pile ot sewage on the river bank near the old steamboat landing. The work is ex- pected to stop an odor that permeates the whole eastern section of the city when the wind is from the north.
 The suggestion for the remedy was made by E. M. Schober at {. meeting of the Chamber of Commerce trus- tees yesterday at noon. The trustees immediately took the question up with Mayor Bloom.
 Since the river changed its course the sewer at that point discharges sewage on the old river bed which is now dry. The only real remedy would be the extension of the sewer several blocks east. The government will not permit it to be extended north.
 A large numbert of willow trees will be cut and placed on the spot where the sewage is discharged and they will be covered with earth. This is expected to at least keep down the OdOr

 In the next chapter of the biogra- phy Bertrand appears in the fighting around Monastir on the Macedonian front where he simultaneously oper- ated four machine guns and wrecked such an awful havoc with the enemy that their attack was beaten off, At the battle of Monastir he essayed to rescue an officer who lay wounded in No Mans Land and was himself wounded in the abdomen Despite his pain he dragged the officer back to safety and went out again to res:ue a wounded nurse Ill tue last trip his arm was shattered by bullet and later was ampu.ated
 Next we find Be'rand a passenger on board ship bound for France. The torpedo which hit the vessel shattcr. ed one of Betrands legs, Calmly am- putating it with hts knife Bertrand bound up the stump. dragged himself to the rail, threw himself over board, paused long enough to rescue the captain and swan to piece of drift wood where he lived for three days by a Spanish vessel.

RENE BERTRAND IS A
 MODERN 0' ARTAGAN
Frenchman's Exploits Makes Famous Character in ''rhree Mus
 keteers" Look Tame.

Paris, July 20.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-Tne heroic exploits and hair-breadth escapes o1 D'Artagan as narrated by Dumas ir The Three Musketeers fade into com- parative insignificance when compar. ed with the achievements of Rene Bertrand as told by himself Minus an arm and leg with the nine med also glittering on his breast, and as- serting that his body bore more than 30 bullet and bayonet wounds, "Pri- vate Rene Bertrand of the French Colonel Infantry" posed in Paris as the greatest hero of the war.
 Now he has been arrested as per- haps one of the wars greatest fakers and the polio authorities declare that he lost his leg and arm in a railway accident and that five imprisonments instead of five citations compose his record. It was the publication of Betrand's photograph in a French newspaper that led to his undoing.
 Meantime, while reveling in the fruits of his own romance, Bertrand enjoyed the confidence of army off, cers and the credit of the leading Paris cafes. One famous and Jealous aviator made Private Bertrand his god son and adopted" him for the bal ance of the war.
 The medals he wore included the cross of the legion of honor, the mill itary medal, the war cross with seven palms and five stars, the British mil itary cross, the Belgian war cross, the colonial medal, the medal of mo- rocco, and the medal for saving life, and the meday for wounds. In addi- tion he wore the "fouragere" of the legion of honor. Where he got them has not been disclosed but to account for them Bertrand constructed a story of won derful incidents. According to this tale he won the military medal by saving the lives of two officers and was himself wounded in the thigh when surrounded by natives while fighting with the French territorial forces, in Morocco, in 1913.
 Then, according to his own story, Bertrand won the war cross in a pa- trol exploit in the prestllt war, when, after his companions were killed he captured whole German cooking outfit at Laon, having killed most of the cooks Next, fighting with the British on the Somme he won the military cross by capturing 12 Ger mans single handed. Meantime he had been captured five times by the

WITH THE BOLSHEVIkI.

The expected has happened. The Bolsheviki government in Russia has declared war on the United States. Previously it had declared state of war with France and Great Britain.
 There is little doubt that the allies expected such a state of affairs, es- pecially when it has been known for months that Lenine and Trotsky were henchmen of the kaiser. The treaty signed with Germany at Brest-Lito- vsk was evidence that the two radi- calls were in German pay.
 There is possibility that the Sov- jet can become a menace to the allies, a military menace. It has been politically and economically fol some time. But it is doubtful if it can become a military problem. Rus sia has been torn into hundred parts. Germany controls some. The Bolsheviki control large part of European Russia but their power is waning.
 War with the allies will either ce- ment the Russians or it will destroy the Bolsheviks, military activity of the allies in Siberia and on the Persian border, while not strong, is gathering strength, and it must continue to do so hastily.
 It is certain that the present state of affairs is going to throw many of the ignorant class and the radicals against the allies. On the other hand the real Russian patriots, who are in every city and vilclage in the great Slav nation, are going to grasp the opportunity to join hands with the al- lies and the Czecho- -Slovaks and crush the Germans,
 It is new and serious problem and one which may require many hundreds of thousands of more men from Amerca. But it is better to know whether the Bolsheviks want freedom or desire to help Germany in hel plans for world domination.
 
 The situation calls for renewed ef- forts. On the western front now the allies are driving the Germans back German armies are in great danger but Germany is by no means whipped If the kaiser can draw on the Russian hordes for manpower it will be blow to the allies. We will be victorious but it will take longer.
 We must redouhle- our efforts. More men must go to the army, more men must buy bonds, more men ust quit non-essential ork and put their efforts at the call of the nation.
 Victory is in sight, but we ust moi ,slacken our efforts. Peace with Germany dominating Russia would merely be a preparation for another world war. Germany must be crushed even tho Russia has to suffer for it.
