SAN ANTONIO, Tex, June 20.— Twenty-one thousand acres of Rio Grande valley land, with crops valued at $2,500,000 flooded in Hidalgo coun- ty, & fresh rise in the lower stretches of the Rio Grande as the result of flood waters which came down late yesterday from the San Juan river in Mexico, while the cloudburst flood of the upper river is nearing its crest at Laredo, 150 miles upstream, sum- marized the border flood situation early today. Meanwhile, the fate of 18,000 fnhab- itants of Piedras Negras, Mexico, across the river from Eagle Pass, {50~ lated since railroad and highway bridges were swept out Sunday night, is causing grave concern. The sty is surrounded by water and the food supply is thought to be short. Traveling ‘Thirteen Miles an Hour. The flood stage at Laredo this morning_was twenty-seven feet and rising. Late tonight a stage of forty feet was reported at Palafox, sixty- two miles upstream, and that border village was threatened with Inunda- tion. Apparently the flood is travel- ing at the rate of thirteen miles an hour. Its crest probably will not reach the swollen_ stretches of the . lower Rio Grande before late Wednesday. The section, situated in the Hidalgo and Cameron counties, contains near- ly twenty prosperous towns and is a highly developed agricultural sec- tion settled largely by farmers from the middle western states. The total population exceeds 100,000. Districts Are Warned. A warning to the districts has been made by J. H. Jarboe, local weather observer, stating that the flood crest coming down from the north- west is six feet higher than the record mark thirty-three vears ago. Breaking of a drainage dam near Mission, in Hidalgo county, yester- day afternoon, followed a desperate effort by 3,000 men who started work before daylight yesterday. The re- sultant flood caused damage esti- mated at $200,000. From the Mexican side of the river it is reported that the towns of Sabinas and Allendee, on the Sabinas river, were practically destroyed. The Sabinas is a tributary of the Rio Grande.

Friction has developed in the United States commission to the Brazilian cen- tennial exposition, and D. C. Collier, commissioner general, has announced that five members of the commission, including himself, have asked Presi- dent Harding to remove Frank A. Har- rison from office as resident commis- sioner In Washington. Commissioner General Collier's statement was made following his visit to the President in company with Mrs. Arthur L. Liver- more of New York, W. H. Stevens of Rio de Janiero, John H. Kirby of Hous- ton, Tex., and George T. Mills, secre- tary of the commission. The statement charged that Mr. Harrison had “falsi- fied” the commission’s record, and an- nounced that a resolution of censure upon his conduct had been unanimously adopted by the five commission mem- bers who called at the White House. Commissioner Harrison also issued a statement, in which he declared himself to be “working closely with President Harding” In the matter of expenditures in_behalf of the com- mission and ready to make a complete statement concerning the differences between himself and any other mem- ber whenever the President indicated he desired such Information. “There has been a wide division within the Brazillan commission's membership for some months over the expenditure of funds” Commis- sioner Harrison’s statement said, “and I have been working closely with the President in an_ effort to conserve public money and lop-oft useless em- ployes and officials. When he is ready for me to make a complete statement I shall do so. “I asked the President more than two months 2go to relieve me from duty as a commissioner, and have re- mained up to this time because of his urgent request.” The commission has an appropria- tion of approximately $1,000.000 to be expended under its direction and that of the State Department In preparing and installing an exhibit at the Bra- zilian_exposition, about half of which is to be taken up in construction of a permanent building. by the year. tan at $13. RIVER & Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, June 20.—Every liner which has left New York for Europe in the last six months has had among her passengers one or more former members of the American expeditionary forces in France. Some qf the liners have carried more than a score of for- mer service men. This statement, made by port authorities today, reveals the fact that the lure of the battleelds is as strong now as it ever was and that with the passing years the soldiers who fought in France will turn their thoughts and their steps when possible to Chateau Thierry, toward St. Mihiel, and the wilder- ness of.the Argonne, just as civil war veterans have turned in the past to Gettysburg and Antietam, lo Chickamauga and Manassas. Already nearly all of the highest in command in the A. E. F., have been back to France and visited places where American troops were engaged with the enemy. The lat- est to go is Gen. Robert L. Bullard, commanding the 2d Corps area, who rose in France from com- mand of the famous 1st Divi- sion to pgeneral, of the 2d American Army. Along with Gen. Hunter Liggett, who _commanded the 1st Army, Gen. Bullard was recommended for promotion to the grade of lieutenant general, but Congress satisfled itself with re- warding Gen. Pershing alone, al- though the latter fought valfant- ly to gain proper recognition of the services of his army com- manders. Gen. Pershing has been back to France and Gen. Harbord, his chief of staff, recently toured the old battlefields. for men Whatever your footwear require- ments may be, genmtlemen, yow'll find here the correct mode and always a full _complement of sizes. “Nettleton” Shoes may cost a little more by the pair, but they cost far less Most styles in black at $12.50 and ICHS Proper Fotwear F Street at Tenth Agent for Netileion Men's Shoes—the World's Can You Operate a TRANSPORT LINE With Boats That Cost Little? coLcate's RIBBON DENTAL CREAM I know that I could scrape my teeth clean with a soap- less, gritty tooth paste, but I know that washing is safer than scouring. 1 know that Coroate’s is made from non-gritty chalk and pure sosp, which ill loosen and wash away injur- ious substancesinmymouth. 1know COLGATE'S cleans my teeth thoroughly and that no |deatifrice does more.

Douglass MacArthur, one of the outstanding heroes of higher rank in the A. E. F., mar- ried last winter in Palm Beach, spent his honeymoon in .France. Every Army transport sailing with supplies for the troops on the Rhine has carried many military “passengers” to Europe, and ap- parently every officer of the Regu- lar Army who can afford the ex- pense has applied for leave of ab- sence with permission to travel abroad. These regular officers, as well as I S those who made up the citizen army sent overseas, declare that France does not yet realize the real heart claim she has on 5o many Americans—a claim that will grow stronger in the years to come, just as America's civil war battle- felds have become more hallowed with the passing of time. The fe- turning travelers say Americans do not feel a great warmth of wel- come nowadays, and have a con- sciousness that, baing Americans, they are charged ‘about twice the prices a Frenchman would be ask- ed to pay. Despite these untoward circum- stances, every officer and man of the A. E. F. who can scrape the money together will go to France at the very first opportunity. (Copyright, 1922.)

The Alittl_elaterons The Alittlelaterons are the people who are always going to buy that refrigerator soon—who say when the milk sours and the butter gets strong—“We'll . surely have to buy a Leonard “a-little-later-on.” They live in the State of Sometime—and daily they are paying for a Leonard—in soured milk—rancid butter and spoiled leftovers—even though they dan’t know it. Maybe you, too—if you'll count your bills for spoiled food this week will be a Doitnow mstead of a thtlelateron. Leonards at any price would be cheaper than some refrigerators and even now they are less ex- pensive than most—witness the great big family size, porcelain-lined one, at $55.

We tell what we put in it. Other manufacturers know all the ingredients we use. ‘They can buy most of them. But they don’t make Clic- quot Club—any more than a woman with good flour and a recipe can make bread which tastes like her neigh- bor’s bread made with the same flour and recipe. We have one decided advantage over other ginger-ale makers. All the water we use is pure, cold spring water, drawn from AW the bed-rock. Nature hu filtered and re-filtered it. The carbonation of this water and the flavoring with Jamaica ginger, fruit ‘juices, and sugar make the happy blend that is never duphelt:ed except by us. It is almost q universal taste.
