WALLOON ISLE
RELINQUISHED BY
PRUSSIA

In patching together the picture puZ-
zle of European nations to fit more
nearly racial and historical units the
peace conference commission on Bel
gian claims approved Belgium's de-
mand for Malmedy.
Malmedy long formed one of those
alien racial clusters that seem TO cling
like barnacles to many a European
boundary. line.
In the case of Malmedy and the
region about that town a group or
Walloons was left in Rhenish Prus-
STA when the historic Benedictine Abb
hey of Stavelot- Malmedy was cut in
two in 1915. Malmedy fell TO Prus-
STA, while six miles to the west, across
the prewar Belgian border, is Stave-
lot.
The latter town was the seat of the
abbey which was independent until
the Luneville peace of 1901. The abb
hey fell to France until it's partition
Il years later. The abbey was found
ed in the Seventh century and later
its abbOts ranked as princes. They
ruled many small villages along the
Ambleve. on which Stavelot is stu
ated, and along the Warche, which
flows through Malmedy.
Charles Martel, grandfather of Char
lemagne, who ruled the Franks while
he let their kings reign on, won a de-
cisive victory over Neustria at Stave-
lot 1900 years ago.
Malmedy lies in a pretty valley of
the aforementioned river, 20 miles
south of AiX-la-Chapelle The town
had less than 5000 population before
the war. Dyeing, paper-making and
tanning were its industries.
The term Walloon is used to desig-
nate those BelgianS who speak either
French or a French dialect The Wal
looms of Belgium desired Malmedy' 5
restoration for lingual as well as for
sentimental reasons. In Liege and Ma
muir a movement for the revival of Wal
loon as literary language-for it had
been so used until about the fifteenth
century-waS well under way when the
war began. In the midst of German
speaking neighbors Malmedy and its
envirOns preserved the old WallOOn
dialect, whereas among many Belgian
WallOOns it has been supplanted by
pure French.

The peaceful progress of farming

NEW REBELLION IN
GARDEN OF EDEN

"Mesopotamia, Upper and Lower,
vies with Egypt in claiming the honor
of being the home of ancient civilian
tion," says bulletin of the National
Geographic society, quoting from sew
eral communications concerning the
land of Adam and Eve where the
British recently sent more troops be-
cause of native uprisings.
'MesOpotamia comprises the valleys
of the Tigrls and Euphrates rivers
Here fiourished the Chaldean, Baby
lonian, and Assyrian empires. The
city of Bagdad, with all its glamOr
of mystery and magic, is in the heart
of Mesopotamia.
This was the richest land in the
wsrld, the granary of the ancients {;
yet. in spite of all that it has been.
it today lies largely waste, the desert
sands have encroached upon the fer
tile fields, while the clogged canals
have turned other portions into
swamps and marshes.
what population there is-not more
than one million-is of Arab origin
and the Arabic language is spoken
throughout. There is, in fact, very
distinct dividing line between the Arab
ic and the Turkish-speaking pOr' ions
of the former Ottoman empire. This
boundary corresponds with the line of
the Bagdad railway from the Medi-
terranean TO the Persian Gulf. 1t is
for the exploitation of this rich land
of MesOpOtamia that the famous Bag
dad line was built

Mediterranean and is bounded on the
north by the Taurus mountains. The
