BALTIMORE, Md. February A.
Five Washingtonians were injured
yesterday, when an automobile on
the Washington-Baltim boulevard
at Elkridge, Nd, skidded and over
turned.
Robert Chapman, colored, of Wash
ington conveyed the injured to Agnes
Hospital here. They are: John Fier-

injured spine and internal injuries:
Harry Fierson, thirty-three, brother

Robert Bree, thirty-five, 1921 Pros
pect avenue northwest, wounds on
arms and body and probable frac-
tured ribs, and Joseph Burch, driver
of the car, 3617 Prospect avenue, and
his wife, Mrs. Mary Burch, slightly
injured.
Burch told the police the party
was returning to Washington when
another machine approached and he
swerved his car sharply to avoid
striking it. Before he could right
the car again it skidded off the road
and turned turtle in the ditch.
Fferson brothers and Bree, who
were riding in the rear seat. were
pinned beneath the wreckage but
Burch and his wife were able to ex-
tricate themselves. At the hospital

eleven months OF 1928 to $1.2OO.000, or
four times the amount during the
corresponding period of the previous
year.
Imports from the United States,
especially of automobiles. have in
creased considerably. The improve

is due partly to the fact that German

The Belgian ambassador had been
assOcia ted in Washington with Presi-

State Robert Lansing. Henry White
and others of the American delegation
to the Paris conferences and he had
been a full year in Washington be-
fore he was able to present his Gre

first ambassador from Belgium. He
was the first diplomat to be received
following the long interval occurring
after President Wilson's disastrous
tour in behalf Of the league of nations
and illness which came on its heels.
Though in the official records the
ambassador may count his mission as
to the American public only from
May IL. 1920, he was Belgian minister
from 1918. and had been elevated to
the highest rank for an entire year
before he could take advantage of
this honor. He had previously served
