CLAIMS DAMAGES OF s1oo.
Philip Zatus Alleges His Automobile Was Struck by Phi.ias cioutier's Motortruck.


 Monday, before Attorney Eric H. Johnson, sitting as justice of the peace, there was Q hearing of the case of Philip zaltus ys. Philias Cloutier.
 Attorney NJ. H. Geissler was counsel for Mir. Zaltus. Attorney Archibald Macdonald, Jr, for the defendant.
 The plaintiff claims that Aug. last his automobile was damaged when it was in collision with an autotruck owned by the defendant and that said collision was due to the fact that the truck was being neghgently operated at the time. Witnesses for the defend ant asserted, iE some instances, that there was no collision between the machines and that the accident to the Zaltus machine occurred when it's driver attempted to pass the truck, which, like the light touring car. was travelling toward Providence on the Chepachet road, just east of the village of Harmony, R. l.
 q The plaintiff claims that in the ac- tident one wheel of his car was smash cd and that a tire, two inner tubes, front fender and a running board were damaged; that repairs cost him $4675, and that On account of his machine belng out of service he was put to the necessity of hiring other cars and ve- hicles at a cost of $25. Zaltus claims dama geS of $1G0.
 Zaltus' story is that he was travel ing along behind the Cloutier truck at the time and place noted and decided that he wanted to pass the heavier vehicle, which was carrying passen- gers, the day being Sunday. Zaltus claimed that he repeatedly sounded his horn, but the driver of the truck paid no attention. Finally he did swing the truck slightly toward the right of the road and Zaltus drove his machine up to pass on the left side. ZaItus claims that the roadway was narrow at the point and as his touring car came abreast and was just passing ahead of the truck, the truck suddenly struck it blow that caused the dam age.
 Witnesses who testified fer the plaintiff were Mrs. Zaltus and daugh- ter, Miss Annie Abraham Zimmerman. lSadore Spiagelmar and J. Harry Mann. Judge Mann testified that his inspection Of the car after the acci- dent convinced him that the damage was caused by a glancing blew on one side.
 Witnesses for the defense advanced the reason of the Zaltus car smash as due to the fact that it's driver, in at tempting to drive by the truck, swung into a rut at the side of the highway and that this caused the machine to be badly wrenched and to break down. Another version was that when this happened the touring car swerved into the path of the truck
 Witnesses for Mir. Cloutier were David J. Delisle, Joseph Shcnail, Fred Gregoire, John Carroll, and Alpherie Viens.
 Other witnesses were to be heard when court adjourned Monday until today.
 Car Backed Through Plate Glass.
 A plate glass window in the shop of Ralph Smith, Main street, was broken out Monday afternoon about 5-30 when the new automobile owned and driven by Jasper Holmes was backed through it. The car was not damaged to any extent.

THE ATHENS PATRIS IS
 PUBLISHING REVELATIONS Regarding Attitude of Greek Govern nent at Time of Bulgarian Occupa ton.

Athens, Sunday, Oct 29, via Lon don, Oct. 30. 1.5O p. m.-The Patris which supports the provisional gov ernment set up by Former Premier Venizelos, published this morning sev- eral documents which it characterized as revelations regarding the attitude of the Greek governmnt at the time of the Bulgarian and German occupation of northeastern Greece. Included in the documents is the text of messag- es sent by the minister of war, the newspaper says, ordering surrend- CT to the Germans and Bulgarians of Fort Rupel. near Demir- Hissar. Form CT Priemer Skouloudis, who was then at the head of the government, said to The Associated Press correspond ent:
 ''P<sistance by Greece to the Ger mans and Bulgarians at that moment would have been ridiculous. As long as the government had decided to re- main neutral all we could do was to obtain written guarantees for the re- turn of priT$te property. etc. By giv- .ng up Fort Rupel without resistance we obtained such guarantees. If the central empires have not kept the -erms of the written guarantees it s not the fault of the Greek gov arnment. What more could we have gained by resisting"

cardinal dogma in the Teutonic cult of
self worship. The bottom was kicked

whatever you like to call it., owes it's

credit in due time. Engineers urged
the idea privately on the attention Of
newspapers, but did not know that an
