ANIITY BOY BADLY BURNED.


An unusual accident happened near
Unionvale the first of the week which
may cost George Peterson, the eigh-
teen year old son of NJ. Peterson, the
proprietor of the Grand Ronde hotel,
his life, says the Amity Standard.
Young Peterson had left his home in
the morning and walked across the
country to Unionvale and intended
sleeping out. About eleven o'clock in
the night he built up camp fire and
layed down and went to sleep beside
it. In a short time his clothing caught
fire. which awakened him, and being
badly frightened by the pain, he ran
down the road, screaming with all his
might. Some of the residents of the
neighborhood went to his assistance
and succeeded in extinguishing the
fire. but not until the boys back was
badly burned from the shoulders to
the hips. DIR. Wood of that city was
called and dressed the burns and he
was later taken to the McMinnville
hospital where he is now being cared
for

Balkans EXPECTED to Enter War
ltaIy's Declaration Of War on Turkey
Thought to Decide Matter.

London, Aug. % -Italy's de-
claration of war against Turkey ia
expected to have an almost i'm
mediate effect On the Balkan
States, which still ,re debating
which side they will take in the
conflict. Relations between Italy
and Roumania long have been
intimate and it is predicted here
that, especially in view of the
threatening attitude of the Ger.
manic Powers because of Rou-
mania's refusal to allow ammuni.
ton to pass through her territory
Roumania will join the Quadruple
Entente.
Bulgaria is waiting for Serbia's
reply TO tbs suggestions of the
Entente Ministers that Serbia cede
Macedonia to Bulgaria. Greece
is likely TO declare her future po.
licy when the chamber meets this
week. 1t is regarded here as Gig.
nificant that M. Venizslos, who
always has been friendly to she
Entente has decidsd tc take
charge, in addition to the Grecian
Premiership, of the efics of Min.
lister of Foreign affairs.
With inclusion of Italy among
Turkeys opponents in the war
and the formers well.known de.
sire for expansion in the near east,
the Balkan states may consider
the time ripe for them to enter
the field aud secure q share of
what falls to the victorious group.
1t 10 for them to decide which side
is likely to win.
The continued retirement of the
Russian's armies seems to have
little influence on the Balkan
situation. Military critics de-
Glare a victory for the Entente
allies in the Dardsnelles would
more than offset this 90 far as the
near east ia concerned and the
Franco. British forces are increas.
ing their efforts to force the
Straits.
