REFUSES ORDER FOR
BOOKS IN HUNGARY;
FOOD NEEDED MOST
(By Associated Press

GREELEY, Colo. June 4.-Dr G.
Bruce Halsted of Greeley. has refused
to fill an order from Hungary for as
many copies Of his non-euclidian ge-
Ometry as he could finish, on the
ground that Hungary should spend its
money for food rather than books.
The book is translation of the work
of John Balyai, famous Hungarian
mathematician. Dr.. Halsted, who is a
member of the London Mathematical
Society, the French Societe Mathema-
tique, and the Italian Circulo Mathe-
matico, discovered the work during a
tour of Hungary few years ago. The
order which he refused to fill came
from Hungarian nobleman named
Faleky, acting as agent for the Bud
apest museum library.
Owing to the rate of exchange. a
book costing 81 in the United States
would cost $25 in Hungary, DR.. Hal

The movement for the retention
of Governor Esteban Cantu as gov.
ernOr of the Northern District of
Baja, California appears to be
gaining momentum. Threats were
made yesterday afternoon that
force would be used before the
business interests CT Mexicali would
peacefully submit to the reigns of

Yesterday afternon the governor
held public reception to all Mex.cal

from Los Angeles during the day
During the course of his remarks
Governor Cantu cOmphmented Sr. AL

At the conclusion of Gov. Cantu's

MeXicali arose in the audience and

BELGIAN YOUTH
WITH A HISTORY
is GIVEN ADVICE
Brought Before A. ". SWansOn
on Charge of Horse Stealing;
Tells History and Then is
Released.

Pierre Mengin, a Belgian boy was
brought before Probation Officer
Swanson this morning on a charge OF
horse stealing. Young Mengin has a
most interesting and extraordinary
experience to record. He lived with
his father in small town in Belgium
up until the outbreak of the European
war, when. his father joined the Bel.
giam army as captain. This left Pierre
to shift for himself as his mother 1ac
died shortly before the war.
Pierre drifted about from towr
to town during the first two years OF
the war, never knowing where the
times he walked for miles with nc
next meal was coming from, many
shoes, through the mud and ruins OF
his country.
When he heard that the United
States had joined hands with his
people and were coming to help them
he was greatly elated and as the first
American soldiers landed he asked tc
be allowed to join them as genera
handy man of the outfit His request
was granted and he moved up to the
firing line with his adopted compan-
ions, the American Doughboys.
AS they neared the front Pierre was
given a rifle and told that he would
be allowed to heip defeat the Germans
He fought at Ypres and the Argonne
For three months he stayed with the
American forces and as they were
given a rest he was taken with the
idea of joining the United States navy
and helping eXterminate the German
submarines. He received news about
this time that his father had beer
killed in action on the front, thus
leaving him an orphan.
Pierre walked to Brest, France
where he slowed away in the U. s. S
McCalla, he sailed from Brest to the
Azores Islands, where he was placed
on the U. S. S. Buffalo, which sailed
to London, Metz, Lisbon, New York
City and San Francisco. Pierre was
extremely popular with the American
sailors, they taught him the English
language, made him mascot for the
ship, and he acted as flag boy for the

10000 FOOT
RIVER FLOW
NE ENACES
LEvEES
mo Danger" Viewpoint of
River Superintendent f.
N. Cronholm; Believes
That the Peak Has Been
Reached.

The Colorado river today had
reached the 10000 foot stage and
in the opinion of River Superin-
tendent F. n. CrOnhOlm this will be
the high point or the coming week
at least. for he has received infor-
nation that the river at Needles
has raised but one-tenth of foot
in the last six days.
This morning a vigilent watch was
being kept on all levees but Superin-
tendent Cronholm declared that he die
not think there was the slightest
danger to any Of the levees which di-
rectly affect the Imperial Valley.
The first and major break, at mile
post five and a half, which yesterday
was 300 feet wide, this morning had
broadened to 500 feet and it was esti-
mated that $4,000 cubic feet of water
a second was pouring through the
breach. 1t is gradually widening.
The second breach at milepost fou.
and a half, which yesterday was I0C
feet wide, was not much wider tiGe
morning. 1t was estimated that there
were 5000 cubic feet of water pei
second flowing through this break.
The water has not reached the Sai2
levee, except in the form of back
water, and the massive Volcano Lake
levea is still many feet above the
waters which are playing around its
base.
MIR. Cronhoim today was able tc
give details of the tragic death OF
Rock quarry Foreman Hartford, one
of the most valuable men in his
employ.
The men had just been taken across
the second break in boats and were
walking along train of loaded dumr
cars, which were being dumped and
the foreman was trying to keep them
off this train as they were anxious
to get to Andrade and had not had
any food for Is hours.
He was walking close to the train
when one of the loaded cars was ac.
cidently dumped, the deluge of rock
killing him and iniuring two others.
The men were marooned twice &C.
cording to Mr.. Cronholm and each
time they were ferried across the
breaks.
He was very optimistic over the
outcome and does not believe that
there is any danger to Imperial Valley
ranchers from the river at all.

FIRE BURNS GROUND
OF REDWOOD FOREST
lBY Associated PresS)

HEALDSBURG,, Cal June Am
unusual fire, now raging in a redwood
grove at Guerneville, near here, is
consuming Westover park. and nov
only the big redwoods but the very
ground of the park itself.
Many years ago the plot which now
constitutes the park was the site of
an old lumber mill. During the years
that the mill operated the layer of
sawdust and old wooden refuse be-
came thicker and thicker until it
reached depth of 80 feet
About week ago, fire started
in the dry sawdust, and the blaze
spread rapidly. A sawdust fire is
said to be one of the hardest in the
world to eXtinguish, and the Guerne-
vile fire department has been unable
to cope with the flames. ..
Several trees have already been
undermined and have fallen. The saw
dust on top, burning. dries out that
he,eath. and thus the. 30-foot layer
of decaying wood is gradually eating
itself up. 1t is thought that the fire
may possibly burn for a month OF
two.
