BELGIANS RETURN
TO THEIR HOMES
S Well-DreSSed Men
THOUS SANDS HAVE COME BACK
TO ANTWERP AFTER FLEE.
ING OVER HOLLAND BORDER
Germans Have Levied No Tribute on
City Except For Supplies For the
kaisers Soldiers.

Antwerp, Oct. %, via Roosendaal to
London, oct 24.-1:20 a. m,-Ant-
werp gradually Is returning to nor
NAL conditions. About 10000 of its
/ $50. 900 inhabitants, most of whom
fled the city when the Germans oc-
cupied it, have returned to their
| homes
Some bakeries, meat shops and gre
Gerry stores are opening in the poorer
section of the city and a few old wo-
| men with dog carts are Offering APP
| pies and vegetables in the once busy
markets. The German flag flies from
the tower Of the Cathedral of Notre
Dame but Belgian priests are reading
mass as usual.
Belgians, German soldiers and Ger
man officers, many of whom have
their wives with them, are living
quietly in the leading hotels, which
are forced to keep open for the army.
The streets virtually are deserted ex-
cept for the gray German automobiles
which dash along at mad speed carry
ing officers clad in smoke-gray uni
| forms
No tribute has been levied on the
city as yet except that the Germans
have demanded supplies for their
army. General Won Huehne is gov
ernor general of the military govern
ment. Major General Won Boden-
hansen. commander of the fortress OF
Antwerp, will be installed shortly as
civil governor to take charge of the
issuance of passports and other duties
which have been performed by Henry
| Diederich, until recently American
| consul general at Antwerp, and the
Belgian burgomaster, NJ. DeNoss, act
ing in conjunction with German so.
| diers and many plain-clothes German
detectives.
General Won Tiuehne has given as
surances that Belgians will not be
forced to dig entertainments or do
other work for the Germans if they
return to the Belgian cities Every
| consideration is being shown the Bel
gians by tae Germans but this kind
ness makes the Belgians suspicion
as they believe, they say, that a trap
is being laid
over $4,000 Belgians returned to
| Antwerp today and probably half that
number from Holland. All the Hol-
land border towns are filled with
frantic Belgians who move about anX-
iously seeking relatives and are
afraid to return to their own country.
Holland is harvesting its sugar beet
crop and some OF the refugees are
| employed in this work.
The country about Antwerp is desc.
late as the Belgians leyelled many
forests to give the forts a better
chance at the approaching enemies.
1t is estimated that about 300 build
ings were destroyed in Antwerp By
bombs, most of these structures being
residences. The Hotel de la Europe
and the Taverne Royale, on La Place
Verte, were among % buildings de-
stroyed by fire caused by bombs La
Mier and other leading business
streets were untouched.

A Fsrtuaste Aeeideal

Il Feftua1te Aee1eal
Two miles from Boone, on the
Boone and Blowing Rock turn
pike, are two bridges. They have
been in great need OF repair for
some time. Their condition was
mentioned at the meeting Of the
stockholders on the 25th Of May
in Boone. This was the meeting
at which the stockhnlders decided
to pay q Z per cent dividend aud
then borrow enough money to re.
pair these bridges and put The
turnpike in fine condition. 1t is a
pity the latter had not been at
tended to il advanveEof the first,
For, by the merest chance, ahor-
rible accident was narrowly aver.
ted last Thursday morning;
when one Of two wagonscs csossing
one Of these bridges broke
through and fell to the creek be-
low, greatly damaging the freight
it carried and injuring one Of the
mules rather severely. 1T had
scarcely been an hour since a
heavy automobile passed over
the same unsafe structure. How
it escaped is a miracle. The driv-
er of the wagon which fell, saved
himself from great bodily harm
by jumping. If he had fallen in
to the creek and the heavily load.
ed wagon had fallen on him, he
might have been killed orserious-
ly injured. The wagon whichf fol-
lowed had entered on the same
bridge, but the driver managed
to pull it back 30 far that it did
not 60 down. The driver of the
first wagon, which fell, was Don
bowles while his brother drove
the second wagon.
1t may seem strange that this
should be called a fortunate acci-
dent; but is it not 80? Suppose
that bridge had stood till an au.
tomobile loaded with women and
children crossed it, and had fal.
len with it's precious freight!
Suppose the second and higher
bridge had fallen under similar
circumstances. It is higher than
the one that fell, and those falling
with it would inevitably have
been baby injured if not killed.
Suppose again, this had happen
ed at the height of the summer
seas on. What would the cost
bave been to the turnpike COM
pany in diminished tolls? What
would it have cost Boone in de-
visitors? As it is, the
damage will be considerable, 1t
might have been enormous later
on.
Now the turnpike company has
time to strengthen every bridge
and culvert from here to Blowing
Rock, before the the summer traf.7
flc begins. And if the company,
with this warning before it, neg
lects to do it's duty, the divi-
dends of many years will be wip-
ed out if the case ever comes be-
fore a Watauga county jury.
Dividends are all allrightwhen earn
ed. They are never earned till
the turnpike is placed in a safe
and practical condition.
The President of the turnpike
company has promptly taken
over the damaged freight and
will decide on and pay all other
damages at once.
