MIC MAQlE WOLFE

Worried almost to distraction, the
family of DR.. Jean F. VOLTS. of 915
South Sixteenth street. is besieging
the state department in Washington
with kilograms and sending cable
grams to relatives in Europe in an
effort to get some news of DR.. Wolfe's
sisters, Miss Helen j. and Marie j..
VOLTS, who are visiting their uncle
the chief of police-in the beleagured
city of Liege.
Since the German troops first
marched into Belgium and trained
their guns on the Liege forts the
anxiety of the Newark relatives or
the Misses VOLTS has been great. The
kinsmen of the girls saw particular
cause for worry in the fact that the
home in which the young women are
staying is that of their uncle. Joseph
Mignon, chief of police, In Liege. In
his official capacity, the family OF the
girls believe M. Mignon must be as
sisting in the defense of Liege, and on
that account they fear that his home
will be marked for the fury of the in
vaders. Even. cable reports received
today, which assert the German occu-
patton of Liege has been orderly,
have failed to end the anxiety of rela-
tives of the girls. Today they tele-
graphed to Secretary Bryan and sent
a cable message to relatives in Ant
werp in an endeavor to gain some as
surance that the young women are
safe.
Both the Misses Wolfe have clerical
positions in the South Side High
School. Miss Marie is registrar OF
the school and Miss Helen is in the
office of the principal.
The girls left Newark on June ~
After q short tour of Southern Eu-
rope they went to Liege, where they
planned to remain until the end of
this month. On July q, Just a month
after they left home, their parents
received letters from them informing
them that their daughters We're in
good health, were enjoying their trip
immensely and already were making
prepare tions to return home.
The Misses Wolfe have been abroad
many times before this present trip.
After spending several years In school
in Belgium they returned to this
country and entered Smith College
After their graduation they took a
postgraduate course in Columbia
University. Then they obtained po-
sitions in the Newark public schools.
