PEHHSY FLYER HITS HIPSKIfID MACHINE, BUT BDY ESCAPES Blow by Speeding Train Hurls Auto Forty Feet, Twisting Parts in Fantastic Designs. The adventurous career of the small Ford runabout owned by John F. HipBklnd. 207 North Twelfth street, was practically terminated this morning by the New York-St. Louis "flyer" on the Pennsylvania lines. The driver of the car, Althonses Hlpskind, 17, the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Hlpskind, was thrown out but escaped with only a few slight cuts and bruises. Young Hlpskind was out on a pleasure ride this morning alone. Half way over the water works road crossing of the Pennsylvania tracks, at the extreme east end of the local yards, a brakeman on a freight train yelled to him that the fast passenger train was bearing down from the east. The boy had been looking west to see if he was in any danger and had not noticed the approach of the train from the opposite direction. The railroad man's shouts confused him and as a result he "killed" his engine, stopping the machine directly in the pathway of the speeding train. Just as he climbed to the back seat the locomotive struck the automobile squarely on its hood, hurling it a distance of forty feet to the north. Young Hlpskind was thrown about fifteen feet and the fact that he escaped not only death but serious injuries is regarded miraculous by wit nesses to the accident. Stops Fast Train. Tho engineer brought his train to a stop within two or three yards of

the crossing, one of the most dangerous in the country, and crew and passengers immediately swarmed out and rushed to where the wrecked machine was. The conductor looked beneath the car but seeing no one exclaimed, "where is the driver?" With much composure young Hipskind arose and walked up to the trainman. "Here I am," he calmly announced. There was a chorus of relieved sighs and the boy was enthusiastically congratulated over his narrow esc'ape. lie was brought to the city by another automobilist who wltnesseeed the accident. The entire front part of the runabout was wrecked, the front axle broken in several places, one front wheel smashed to splinters, the right Eide bady battered up, the seat broken, the frame of the windshield twisted in a fantastic shape. A few weeks ago Mrs. Edward Hlpskind, while driving the machine, in which the three younger children of J. F. Hipskind were passengers, stalled the engine at the southeast entrance to Glen Miller park. She got out to crank it and while doing so a young man shifted a lever, pushing it to high specid. Just then some one pushed the car, starting the engine. It dashed down the hill with only the three children in it, its mad career not being ended until it collided with a stone culvert. The car was badly damaged and the children thrown out but ail escaped with only slight bruises. BIRTHS EXCEED DEATHS BY THIRTY There was no indication of race suicide in Richmond during the month of July. According to the report of . City Health Officer Smelser there were four times as many births as deaths in the city last month.

BY LEA8ED WIRE. BRUSSELS, Aug. 6. The German Invasion of Belgium has been smashed. The war office announced today that the German army commanded by Gen. Von Emmich, advancing In two columns from Aix-La-Chappelle, had been repulsed at Liege and Spa. . "The Germans lost at least 3,600 killed, wounded and prisoners," said the statement issued by the war department. "Patriotic Belgium has defended its soil from foreign. Invasion. The Germans are retreating northward. The Belgian army has conducted itself with great bravery. Our losses are small." The prisoners taken by the Belgian troops began arriving here today. Many of them were wounded and had to be taken to hospitals. By 10 a. m. six hundred of the defeated Germans had arrived. Germans Fall Back. The murderous fire of the Belgian artillery at Liege mowed down hundreds of the Germans as they advanced on that city shelling and burning Vise and Argentau. A Belgian aviator, flying high over the country kept the garrison of the Liege forts appraised of the Germans movements and the gunners were able to direct a deadly fire. Because of the information by this aviator the gunners in many instances directed their cancons at points where the German staffs were located and the mortality among the German officers was exceedingly high. The services of the aviator were finally lost to the Belgians when a monoplane piloted "by a German officer attacked the aerial hero; With hla engines running at full speed, the Belgian maneuvered for an opportunity to ram the German and when he secured his opportunity he crashed head on into the enemy's monoplane. The motors of both exploded and the two machines fell to the ground a tangled wreck. Pursue Retreating Army. The retreating Germans are being harrassed as they fall back, the Belgians report. King Albert has reached the front and taken active command.

Part of the German, artillery aent against Liege has been captured. Belgiaa -officers believe that Gen. Von Emmick committed a grave tactical error In dividing his forces.

All the artillery was taken with them In force and that proceeding toward Spa taking only light field guns. .. . ' The southern army sent with the purpose of flanking the Belgians on their right wing, used the railroad as it advanced and pressed successfully through Verviers and Peppinster without meeting desperate resistance. Between Peppinster and Spa the Germans found .the track torn up. They were compelled to halt their ar mored trains and as they left the cars they received a withering Ore from the Belgians protected , by trenches that they had hastily dug. Fall Into Ambush. With two regiments of Uhlans at their heal the Germans advanced and drove the Belgians from their trench es and back toward Spa. Retreating slowly, the Belgians drew their ioes into a trap that had been set. Heavy artillery posted on mils along a ravine through which the Germans bad to pass as they pursued the Belgians, suddenly opened fire. Deadly shells rained upon the Uh lans, each one killing scores as It exploded. Within a few moments the two regiments of cavalry had been practi cally annihilated, those surviving the terrific Are surrendering. Unable to advance without the sup port of the Uhlans, the German infan try fell hack, fighting desperately.

RELIEF REPORTS HERRICK U. S. Ambassadors Occupy Delicate Diplomatic Post at Capitals of Warring Nations. BY LEASED WIRE. WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. American Ambassador Herrick at Paris, in a report to the state" department, stated that the condition of Americans in Paris is much improved. He suggests that money and supplies to be sent on the Tennessee he used for the relief of Americans In other parts of France. The American consul at Milan reported that there are more than 200 Americans there unable to get money or transportation. American diplomats today are doing double work in Europe. They are In the unprecedented position of being in possession of the archives and the diplomatic secrets of the embassies of the European nations now at war. The American ambassador at Berlin, James W. Gerard, has been asked to act there for all the nations with whom Germany is at war and the same situation prevails at the other capitals. Never has American diplomacy assumed so delicate a task which will test its resources to the utmost when the time for peace negotiations arrive. So far as Washington knows the American diplomats have not yet been called upon to conduct any negotiations for the warring countries. It is not probable that there will be any extensive diplomatic interchange for the American diplomats to handle until the conflict is well toward its close or until an armistice is declared preparatory to peace negotiations. A question has arisen in the minds of some members of the diplomatic corps here as to the propriety of an American ambassador in one capital acting for England and another for Germany. However, the government sees no anomaly in this. The choice of United States diplomats as representatives of the strongest power remaining neutral is viewed by administration circles as a compliment to this nation and is expected to greatly increase her diplomatic prestige In the world.

In the bis wheat crop of this coun- . try lies the chief source of worry to officials of the treasury and commerce i departments. Within a few weeks j these products will be ready for ship- : ment abroad and the foreign nations, especially those at war, will be clamorj ing for it. I Then will ccme the troubfc? for the i government. Can the United States, ; as a neutral, permit this wheat to be ; shipped to belligerents? Will it be contraband of war? Those questions are puzzling the officials and they are holding daily conferences to determine what to do, and wheat is only one of the many Ameri- ; can products that may be declared con traband.
