SLIGHTLY HURT
Knocked Down by Automobile Which
Jumped Forward ON Being Started
Near Fair Grounds Today.

An automobile accident in which
Prof. i. A. Butterfeld of Washington
street was knocked down and slightly
hurt and one of the Red Cross girls was
pushed over but not injured, happened
about 10 o'clock today near the main
entrance to the Valley fair grounds
A Ford owned and driven by Hiram
F. Newell of Surrey, N. H., with whom
L. A. Fuller of Keene, n H., was riding,
jumped suddenly as it was being started,
and as it was not directly in line with
other cars it started toward group of
persons with the result as stated.
Prof Butterfeld was taken to the
Memorial hospital, where it was found
that he was hurt about one arm. From
there he was taken home. Mr. Newell
paid the hospital and doctors bills and
gave his address to States Attorney W.
r. Daley, agreeing to come here any time
if wanted. He said his car sometimes
acted as it did today.

G. E. Webster Working in Red Cross
Garage in Paris.

G. f. Webster, formerly of Williams
vile, is acting as timekeeper in a large
garage belonging to the American Red
Cross in Paris. Mr.. Webster came ov
er with the Red Cross four months ago
and has been on duty in the garage
since. where he is known to the boys
in Red Cross service as " Dad Webster"
Not only has he worked in the ga
rage by day, however, but like many
other Red Cross workers in Paris he
has frequently given his services to
the American wounded at night as
well. On emergency service like this,
he has sometimes helped receive as many
as five hundred or seven hundred wound
ed men in one night at one of the large
American Red Cross hospitals here.
"Thc nerve of the American boys
under fire and when wounded is some
thing very fine, says Mr.. Webster,
- One poor fellow that | saw with an
arm and half of his face gone remarked
that he had just done his bit for Uncle
Sam and now he wanted to go back
to the front and do something for him
self. That s what l call the real fight
ing spirit.
Mr.. Webster was in business in vii
Evansville before joining the Red Cross
forces.

HOW RUMANIA
WAS BETRAYED
German Plans for Numbering Loyal
People of That Country Re
vealed by u. S.

WASHINGTON. Sept. l9.-The be-
travail of Rumania and elaborate ad-
vance plans of Germany and her Rus
sian bolshevik tools for suppressing and
numbering loyal Rumanians, Russians
and Poles are exposed in detail by the
latest installment Of the astounding
secret Russian documents which the
American government is giving to the
public.
Other installments of the series have
described how the bolshcvik leaders,
Lcnine and Trotzkv. and their associ
ates were bought bv the Germans for
millions in gold and engineered their
bloody overthrow of Russia for the
benefit of their masters. Now the story
is told of how, while the Brest- Litovsk
peace conference farce still was in
progress, the bolsheviki were sending
hired agents into Rumania to diSor-
ganize the armies of Russia S ally, de-
throne the Rumanian king and turn
loose the German armies occupied there
for service i'll great offensive on the
western front.
The second phase of the latest dis
closure shows the bolsheviki at Ger
man direction undertaking not only to
kill refractory Russian generals, but
to shoot individually and wholesale Pol
ish soldiers who were refusing to be
sold to the Germans and patriotically
keeping the field against their enemies
| One of the documents transmits orders
from the German intelligence service
to 'take most decisive measures, M
to shooting en- masse, against Polish
! troops and to institute surveillance
Of institutions and persons, including
the Roman Catholic Polish clergy
Explanatory notes by Edgar Sisson
who obtained the documents, add many
details lacking in the papers them
selves, including story of how III,
Rumanan minister barely escaped as
sassination after being arrested bv tn,
bolsheviki and released through the ef
forts of ambassador Francis and othe
diplomats.
