Francois Galecleux, ten-year-old
United States. When the war broke
out he was but six years of age and
was attending a school in one of the
little Belgian towns that was later
overrun by the German hordes. While
coming home from school one day his
parents told him that the Germans had
invaded his town. A little later he was
hit by a fragment of an aerial bomb
from a German plane. Getting I'D he
ran TO his home and there saw his fam
lily killed before his eyes. Francois did
now know what to do, so he pushed
off in rowboat. After rowing for a
day and night he was picked up by
sailors of an American transport and
taken TO the Municipal hospital in
Brest. He was treated there for about
six months and was finally discharged.
No one would adopt him so he wan
dered about the streets of Brest with
some of his brother unfortunates.
Whenever an American transport ar
rived at the port, he and his compan-
ions would rush to the wharf where
they would surely get something to eat
from some of the sailors. This con-
tinued for about two years. Then the
men on the transport that had given
him food so many times decided to
make an American of him so they
adopted Francois. After making a
collection for him they decided to send
him to school in the United States
He is to be sent to the boys school at
Germantown, Pa.

DUMMY CURE FOR sPEEDERS
Pittsburgh Children Have Method Of
Curing Reckless Auto
Drivers.

Pittsburgh. Pa.-The dummy" cure
is what the children of Larimer avenue
call their method Of check speeding au-
tomobiles who rush through their fa-
vorite playing ground.
Terror stricken, a chauffeur alight-
ed from his machine recently after he
had knocked down and run over what
he thought was child. He returned
to where the body was lying In the
street and discovered that 1t was a
dummy. He went to his car in a hap
pier frame of mind, but he had no
more heart for running fast through
the thickiy-settled parts of the city.
And many more chauffeurs suffered
the same thrilling experience.
To make the accident" more real
as the auto approaches the dummy the
kids yell in its direction, .Get out Of
the street" Then when the auto crush
es over the form the children yeH and
scream, giving the impression that a
terrible accident has occurred.

A food map of Europe today shows
not a single country in which the fu-
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only a small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even in the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated on the farms, there is famine
in the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand in a different rela-
ton from the other nations to the peo-
pie of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care far their increased
after-the-war needs, which. with those
Of Serbia. must be included in this
plan, are urgent in the extreme aud

for the help America has extended 10

strongest appeal for us TO continue our
work there. The moment the German
armies withdrew from her soil and she

gions. with conditions most serious In
Finland.
Bohemia, Serbia. RoumanIa and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering a heavy
toll OF death. The Armenian popula
ton Is falling each week as hunger
takes Its toll, and In Greece, Albania
and Roumanin so serious are the food
shortages that famine is near. Al.
though starvation Is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland. Bulgaria and 1ur-
key are In the throes of serious strin-
gencies.
In order to fulfill Americas pledge
In world relief we will have to export
every ton of food which can be han.
died through our ports. This means at
the very least a minimum OF 20,000,00
tons compared with 6,00o 600 tons pre-
war exports and 1l,S20,000 tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties OF war to the European
allies.
II We fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or II we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and BLEED
win be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine Should this
happen we will see In other parts OF

bacle and our fight for world peace

SCOTS TAKE TO JAZZ
Bagpipe Is Routed by American
Music.
Lassies Also Develop Love OF the
Trot, One-Step and other
Yank Dances.

Evanston, Hl.--According to K. ].
an American Z. NJ. G. A. naval hut
somewhere In Scotland, the canny
Highlander Is succumbing to the lure
of the navy's jazz bands and In many
a "wee hoose on the heather" the bag
pipe stands In the corner unused.
Along with the craze for jazz there
has naturally developed love of the
trot and one-step. When Jack comes
ashore he wants to dance. But in Scot
land he didn't find much satisfaction
in watching the lassies doing horn
pipe, nor did the bagpipe seem like
music to his "tazzened" ears.
At one port where our navy men
came ashore In great numbers the
boys couldn't find dance hall of any
sort, so they came to Mr.. Holinshead
of the Y. M. C. A. and asked his help.
After securing the town he found the
only available room was the upstairs
of secondhand shop. With the aid
of working party from the ship he
was able to have the junk removed
after four hours labor and the place
was converted into a very disable BALI
room.
Mr.. Hollinshead then introduced the
boys TO number Of the nice Scotch
girls of the town, the ships jazz band
played American rags" and soon the
lithesome lassies were swinging into
step and the first of series of many
dances was inaugurated.
