Automobile Upset.

Arthur Kingsley and family had an
almost miraculous escape from serious
injury last Friday afternoon. They
were returning home from the village in
their new Buick car and met Roy Tay
Tor with his horse and carriage. The
horse was frightened and ran up on the
bank by the roadside, coming down and
nearly upsetting the carriage.
Mrs. Kingsley, who was riding on the
rear seat of the automobile with her
baby and the hired man, screamed as
she thought the wagon was coming on
top of them. This caused Mr.. Kingsley
to look around letting his car go off the
bank on the opposite side. The car
turned completely over, but the back
seat caught on log, which held it and
the only one who was injured was the
hired man, who sustained fracture of
several ribs. The party were able to
! crawl from under the machine and walk
to their home about two miles.
The automobile was left until the
next day, when it was placed right side
up and found to have escaped with only
a broken wind shield and bent steer
ing rod.

BELGIUM is DIVIDED.
Germans Redistrict Country and Give
It Two Capitals.

Havre. Aug. 26.-The Belgian gov
ernment has addressed long and
earnest protest to the entente allies
and the neutral governments against
German violations of international
and moral law in the redistricting of
Belgium so that 1t will have two gov
ernments and two capitals instead o,
one. and in deporting or arresting
Belgian officials who resigned their
positions rather than continue in Of
fice under the new regime.
The protest begins by the citation
of Article 43 of the fourth Hague con.
vention. according to which an oc
cupying power must In so far as i,
is possible govern occupied ter
ritory in conformity with the terri
tory's own law.
'"The measures" says the protest,
"have only the goal of serving Ger
man interest to the detriment of Bel
gium and creating a schism between
the Belgians."
