BELGIUM WAR MISSION
 RECEIVED AT LITTLE ROCK
Baron Monoheur's Pointed Reference to
 German and Prussian Eagles.

Little Rock, Ark, July 29.-The warm receptions that have greeted the Bel gian war mission everywhere were continued here today It was the first of the foreign war missions to visit this section.- 4 parade, civil and mili- tary, turned out.
 Baron Moncheur's wife. daughter of General Powell Clayton, former gov ernor and United States sFnator from Rock and many personal friends of the Belgian diplomat and his wife were among those who greeted him here.
 Baron Moncheur today warned his audience that a victorious Germany would be a menace to the United States as well as to all the world. The rapacity of the German eagle" he said, is unsuitable. When there is an op- portunity to steal the goods of another the Prussian eagle becomes a cormor- ant-he swallows everything.
 But the entry of the United States into the war has averted that danger At the sight of your flag among those of the allies Germany has been srrick- en with terror. Recent news indicates that the edif1ce of German pride IS cracking and that a few blows from Uncle Sam's big stick will bring it to ruins"
 The mission left here this afternoon and expected to reach Memphis to- night.
