Another frontier outrage Is reported, this time in the village of Bergreuland, which is in the portion of Alsace Lorraine given to Belgium at the end of the war. Four Nazis in uniform crossed the frontier and walked the streets of Bergrueland, insulting any who refused to salute them. Belgian gendarmes were called and escorted the Nazis across the frontier, but three hours later the Nazis returned, when a Nazi with a bottle of beer fractured a gendarme’s skull. The gendarme is now in hospital, and the assailant has been arrested. The others escaped. ESTATE PRESENTED TO HINDENBURG Press Association. —Copyright. Beilin, Aug. 27.

Prussia has presented to President Hindcnburg the Langenau estate and the Preussen forest, formerly owned by the Hindcnburg family and adjoining the President’s Neudeck estate.

Herr Goering in making the presentation at the foot of the Tannenberg memorial at a ceremony marking the nineteenth anniversary of the Tannenberg victory, announced that those lands would be free of taxation so long as a male heir of the Hindenberg line was left. Replying to the greeting President Hindenberg in a broken voice said: “I only did my duty.”
