While coming into Darlington on
Tuesday from his home in Kendall,
Father Morris and his two sisters met
with serious accident. When coming
along the Seymour road the steering
gear of his car broke. The machine
became unmanageable, swerved, turned
over on it's side and threw its three oc-
cupants to the ground All were more
or less bruised, but none seriously. The
car was quite badly wrecked. The fact
that Father Morris was driving his car
very slowly at the time of the accident
is the only plausible reason for the al
most miraculous escape. Darlington

kaiser's Bitterest ANTAGONIST.

London, Sept. 2S.-Theophile Del
casse. nov the French minister Of for
eign affairs, could be described as the
incarnation Of French revenge toward
Germany. Selected as minister Of war
at the beginning of the European strug-
gle and later made minister Of foreign
affairs. he has directed his actions with
his we'll known animosity toward the
kaiser ever uppermost in his mind.
Theophile Delcasse is the son Of a
peasant Of the Pyrenees and became
a newspaper reporter in Paris when
he reached his majority. which hap
pened to be just ut the close of the
Franco-P russian war. Writing bril-
liant articles o democracy for starva-
ton wages, he attracted the attention
of Gambetta, who needed an editor for
his paper, Republique Franchise. Del
casse took the position and his politi-
cal fortune was made. He was ap-
pointed minister Of colonies in 1894
and minister of foreign affairs in 1898.
For wen years after that prime min
listers came and went, but Delcasse
stayed on. He was too great a man
to leave out Of any cabinet.
In 1905, when France and Germany

London, Sept. 29.-Lady Cook has
launched Il campaign to raise armies
of Englishwomen, trained and armed
like regular soldiers, ready to fight for
the country.

ments of women wearing khaki uni

There are plenty of women knitting

Red Cross Docs.

London, Sept. 29.-MajOr Richardson,
the famous trainer of dogs for police,
sentry and ambulance work, left Eng
land with the British Red Cross for
the front and took with him Il number
of ~bloodhounds specially trained for
ambulance purposes. Mr.. Richardson's
dogs are helping to search for the
wounded Of the allied armies on the
battlefield. The dogs are specially val
liable in rocky places or where the
ground is covered with bushes and un-
%dergrowth. They are also proving par
ticularly serviceable in seeming out pa
tients who might otherwise be over
looked by the field hospital brigade.
The French army is especially well
provided with ambulance dogs trained
to Il very high pitch. Germany has
several thousand dogs trained for am
bulance and sentry work, and in mo-
bilization all these are carefully pro-
vided for.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-In view Of the
recent financial crisis every effort is be-
ing made by the federal reserve board
to put the new banking system of the
country, which will make panics prac-
tically impossible, into working order.
For some time past it had been gen.
orally believed that the full machinery
of the system would be in operation by
now. There is therefore widespread
interest ut this time in the group of
men who will exercise complete con-
troll Of the country's credit facilities.

Snanish american Exhibition.

Madrid. Sept. 29.-Construction work
is being pushed on the buildings for
the Spanish-American exposition, to be
opened on Jan. 1, 1916, at Seville,
Spain, if conditions in Europe at that
time permit. All nations Of the west
ern hemisphere are to be invited to
participate.
1t was originally planned to hold the
event this year., but it was postponed
until 1915 and then to 1916, the latter
postponement being to avoid conflict
with the Panama-Pacific exposition.
The managers of the Seville event hope
that exhibitors will transfer their ex-
hibits from San Francisco to Spain,
the Panama-Pacific exposition ending
in December, 1915.
The object of the exposition Is to
celebrate the opening of ii new era in
the history of Seville as a seaport.
The port is now available for vessels
with a draft Of twenty-five feet. and
on the completion Of the Alfonso Nil.
canal, which the exposition is to com
memorate, it is expected that a much
more extensive ocean trade will go to
Seville than is the case at present. Thu
canal is being designed to shorten and
s%traighten the Guadalquivir river from
Seville to the Atlantic ocean. Situated
on n tidal river, Seville combines the
advantages of an industrial and dis
tributing center and Il seaport fol
transatlantic commerce..

War Made a KinQ Famous.

London, Sept. 2S.-Albert Leopold
Clement, king of the Belgians, called
by Europe its handsomest king, was
n of the most popular young men in
Belgium before it was ever thought he
would be king. He is now the idol of
his people and has the admiration Of
the whole world as the result Of the
serious check he and his forces made
on the advancing Germans. He is the
Younger son of the Duke of Flanders
and would never have assembled the
throne Of his uncle. King Leopold. HAD
not three other heirs died before the
old monarch. He is also known as the
most modern king in Europe.
He is the first royal newspaper re-
porter and the only one who ever sat

on a throne. Not only is the king Il
newspaper man, but he is also an ex-
pert engineer, Il lover Of mankind and
the most democratic of all rulers. Like
his subjects, he also appears to be a
first class fighting man, for of all the
heads of the nations at war he was the
first in the field, sharing the perils and
privations of his subjects.
The king of the Belgians was among
the least known of the rulers of Eu-
rope until he told his soldiers to hold
the forts of Liege against the German
host massing at Herbestal. and right
well did his soldiers obey him.
King Albert is more than six feet in
height and has Il fair complexion.
In 1893 he came to America and
spent much time in New York, Wash
ington and the east, went west and
stayed for months in st. Paul.

Germany and Holland.

Worcester. Mass, Sept. 29.-PrOfes-
sor George Ii. Blakeslee of Clarke uni
versity, this city, says that if Germany
should win the present European war
the United States would be fighting her
soon afterward. He bases this forecastI
on the fact that, in the event Of VIC
tory, Germany would seize Holland and
her possessions, which include impor.
tant approaches to the Panama canal.
This the United States would never
allow, he says.
In IN interview he said:
Germany wants Holland for two|
reasons. In the first place, sentiment
demands it. for there is Il feeling that
all the German race should be under
the German flag; seco.dly, the Dutch
possessions in the East Indies are the
very richest. including the 'sland Of
Java and Sumatra. Naturally Germany
wants to control these possessions.
IF Germany anneXes Holland, then
she will get control of Curacao, a
Dutch harbor in the West Indies, rec
Ognized as one Of the finest in the Car.
ibbean sea. because from there a ma
ton could virtually control the ap-
proaches to the Panama canal. But I
will go so far rs to say that IL there
was a possibility Of Germany getting
possession Of any valuable approach
es to the canal this country would even
go to war to prevent it."

Needn't Accept c. O. D. Mail.

Washington. Sept. 2S.-Postmasters
are not permitted to urge persons to
accept c. o. ID. and insured parcels sent
to them which they have not ordered.
Neither will they be permitted to act
as agents of the senders of such pack
ages in further attempting to coerce
the addresses to accept delivery or to
effect IL sale of the parcels contents
to other persons.
An order to this effect was issued by
the postofiice department. The action
was taken as the result of reports to
the department which indicated. it is
asserted, that parcels are being Sent to
persons who have not ordered goods,
evidently to effect a sale or to make
collections. The department explains
that persons may accept or refuse such
parcels as they choose.
