ber > BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE SHMMIES WATCH THE ENEMY WITH RECULATED ZEAL Boys in French Trenches Give Ger- mans Roland for Their Every Oliver. PRINCIPAL ANNOYANCE COMES FROM RODENTS Life in Front Line of Trenches Described by Associated Correspondent. (By Associated Press) With the American Army in France, Noy. 21——The American artillery and infantry at the front are dry once more, the rain having ceased for sev- eral days. The correspondents visiting the im- mediate front through the courtesy of the French staff found that the Amer- icans had taken advantage of the rainjess weather and were devoting all their energies to changing, as they put it, “Germans into casualties.” They are.as cool.and methodical as if they had been doing nothing else than fighting throughout their lives. Cut Loose Automatics. The fine group in the first line trenches had just sat down to their salmon sandwiches and coffee when they, jumped up and cut loose with their, automatic rifles at Germans who were discovered hanging out clothes on. a wire in a battered village. They saw the enemy dive for cover like rabbits, and then they went on with their meal as if nothing had hap- pened. From the first line trenches, which are on a hill, the German first line can be seen clearly between 500 and 1,000 yards away. There was something in the German first line once which will never go back to Germany. It is a woolly dog, which deserted the en- emy, crossed “no man’s land” and bounded into an American trench one dark night recently. It licked the hand of an American “dough boy” and was promptly fed with a piece of white bread and a handful of Columbia river salmon. He: was thereupon adopted and now roams all around the trenches and even walks upon the parapet and through the barbe wire entangle- ments, as if there w no war. Pup Naturalized American. “This pup,” said one of the sol- diers, “is a naturalized American, and there is no hyphen about him, He has entirely forgotten all his boche connections. 1 hope he gets a chance to bite the kaiser.” As: the correspondents approached the trench lines over the shell pitted ground the enemy started breaking shrapnel over the, first line. This fir- ing lasted but a brief time, stopping e+ suddenly as it began. Immediately. tgrward came detonations \from tho, || ae and the whiz of shells overhead' ae American batteries got into fon. Then smoke puffs suddenly began appearing over the German trenches. The infantrymen looked cautiously over “no man’s land” while the firing was going on, but as soon as it was over they appeared to forget all about it. In a nearby dugout the men off duty had not even heard the racket. Their principal worry seemed to be rats. One occupant of the dugout ex- plained that there was sleeping room in it for 38 men and that 12, cats were kept in it. Cats were everywhere, some sleeping on folded blankets and some. prowling in dark corners or stalking their prey. _ French Feet and Colds. The men all appeared to be in the best of health, although during the re- cent wet and cold weather several men ‘in this unit had contracted “trench feet” and colds. While the sun was going down be- hind the hills and the darkness was coming on swiftly scarcely a shot was fired, . Just asthe sun passed below the horizon, however, the German bat- terles opened up on one of the Amer- icak battery positions with a hot fire, the high explosives, bursting with the regularity of the clock tick—about one evéry second. The bombardment lasted a couple of minutes and then ended abruptly. Immediately the American batteries S—S—=a=aayaea———q=—_ WHAT BISMARCK WARTS. TO KNOW The Answer is Found in the State- ments of a Bismarck Resident » From week to week, from year to year, there have been appearing in these columns statements made by neighbors, which we have all read with great interest, and many of us with gteat profit. But what we want to know is do they stand the greatest test of all—the test of time? .Here is conclusive evidence of this point from a Bismarck man: J. R. Williams, 212 S. Sixth St., says: “I was bothered for six weeks or more with a constant, dull, throb- bing ache in the small of my back. If I over-exerted, sharp twinges caught me and T could hardly move. I was tired or languid and too frequent pas- sages-of the kidney secretions caused much annoyance. | 1 Doan’s Kid- ney Pills and every s of Kidney trouble left.” Over two years later, Mr. Williams said: “During the fall and winter, I need a medicine for my kidneys, Kidney Pills beneficial. Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t sim- ply ask for a kidney remedy—get ew Kidney Pills—the same that ‘Williams had. Foster- Milburn oa, Migts, Buffalo, N.Y.) THO OF THOSE FOR WHOM THE WORLD “WUST BE MADE SHE These two young girls escaped the clutches of the Germans and have now arrived safely in America. They are Janet (above) and Lydia Blumenthal, daughters of the form- er mayor of the Alsatian town of Comar. Their father, Daniel Blumen- thal, was formerly deputy from Al sace in the German reichstag and while there made a notable fight against Prussianism. Later he be- came mayor of his home town of Comar in 1914. During July there were rumors of trouble and on the 31st an order came from the Prussian govern or deposing Mayor Blumenthal and appointing a German in his place. To prevent the arrest and imprison ment of their father ihe two girls took their car and went to a quiet place ir the woods and waited while their fa ther, apparently walking aimlessly reached their hiding pl: Then they motored him to a hamlei several miles of the read to Switzerland. Returning to Comar for a needec supply of gasoline they also rescued a young male relative who was dress ed in some of their garments. Start- ing again, they were repeatedly haltec by German guards, but succeeded in passing each time with the statement that they were the wives of German officers. The sudden declaration of war and the consequenct confusion en abled them to get across the bound ary into Switzerland. Blumenthal and his daughters have ulow come to America to tell the Amer- isan people why Alsace Lorraine can not remain German and must go back to France. e _—_—_————————— retaliated, flashes of orange colored flame stabbing the night. The detona- tions—some heavy and som light—con- tinued for some time with as much speed as the Germans had shown. Then the “strafing” and the answer being over, the artillery settled down for the night of usual quiet. CHECKING UP SCHOOL Efficient Expert fro from Washing- ton at Indian | Institution F.

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 21.—Mrs. Margar- et Tullis, was killed about 11 o'clock Monday morning when she fell down the elevator shaft in the Stone Piano company building, First avenue north. Mrs. Tullis, stenographer employea by the company, was aboard the ele- vator, operating the carrier herself. As she reached the second floor, she raised the gates, without stop- ping the elevator, and stepped onto the landing. The elevator continued up, and as ‘tt passed her, she toppled back into the basement, a drop of 35 feet. The girl’s scream brought other em- ployes to her side in a moment. Death, however had been instantaneous, ac- cording to the physician who was sum- moned immediately. ‘Mrs. Tullis was formerly Miss Mar- garet Foss, employed by the Stone P!- ano company several years. Her mother resides at Casselton. Mrs. Tullis was 21 years of age, haa resided in Fargo four years, coming from Casselton. _ Her parents have been dead several years.

FUEL ADMININSTRATION MAY WITHDRAW PRIORITY Believed Practically all Fuel that Can Reach Head of Lakes Has Already Come Washington, D. C. Nov. 21—The fuel administration is considering im- mediate withdrawal of the priority order under which all middie western coal shipments haye been going to lake ports for the northwestern ter- ritory. (When this is done the coal will be diverted to the east, to relieve shortages there. Dr. Garfield called into conference on the subject today F.C. Baird of Cleveland, the fuel administration's representative in charge of the Great Lakes situation, and W. H. Gloverman of Minneapolis, secretary of the North- western Coal Operators’ association. The lake shipping season is nearly over, and it is believed that most -of the coal that can be supplied before it closes already has started from the mines. COLONIALS TAKEN. Capture of Last Force in German East Africa.

DODGE BROTHERS GOM- MERCIAL GAR READY ery Purposes Added to Well Known Line Dodge Brothers dealers in the Unit- ed States and Canada are beginning to sent to Camp Mills, as the North Da. ; mark with which many dealers receiv- | kota regiment is now filled with draft- work that hundreds of business con- cerns bought the chassis alone and had special commercial bodies built to suit their requirements. Naturally, this practice led to a demand for a light commercial car as a part of the Dodge Brothers regular line of cars. The result is the practical substan- tial and good-appearing vehicle which is now being marketed. “Precisely Dodge Brothers to build,” was the re- ed it. The specifications are similar to those of the standard touring car, except for several details in which consideration is given the necessity for handling a much greater load. Among the details referred to are 33x4 tires, heavier springs, steering post set at higher angle and gasoline tank under the driver’s seat. In view of the fact that the standard car chassis has served with much’ satisfaction in commercial work, it is apparent, with these extra assurances of stability, that the commercial car is destined to occupy a position of importance in the light delivery field. The illustrated statement concerz- ing the Commercial Car, recently is- sued to dealers by Dodge L'rothers, descrives the body as being of press- ed steel, with a black enamel finish similar to the finish of the standara touring car. For enclosure of the car receive their first. consignments of Dodge Brothers Commercial Car.
