instead. After they proved to be
big eaters and poor milk producers
they had TO be sold at loss and the
Normandy cows purchased as the
commission in the field originally in
tended should have been done.
The statistics of money expended
and supplies bought are here, as In
all the volumes. In bewildering and
amazing profusion. They are scat
tered through the text and for fact
hounds" are also gathered up for
mally in the appendix under all the
various headings for which money
was appropriated and spent. But
the great charm of this narrative,
as we'll as its great pathos, is found
in the tales of human sacrifice and
suffering and work. one of the most
striking phases OF this last part of
the story being the labors OF the
Quakers. particularly the representa-
tives of the English members of the
Society of Friends.
The handling of the refugee prob
lem is shown here to have been one
beset with many difficulties that
appears to have been handled with
more tact than were some of our
other operations in France. Taking
care of the children was another
heavy problem that was handled
with patience, sympathy and skill.
Mr.. Van Schaick devotes a chapter
to stories about Belgian children and
another 10 transiations OF some SIM
pie little tragedies told by children
themselves. most OF which are touch
tngiy pathetic.
This note is offset by the story OF
the days when the King and Queen
went back to conquered Belgium on
the heels OF the retreating Germans,
episodes familiar TO most readers,
but to which this writer imparts a
new thrill. He devotes a chapter to
Cardinal Mercier and one to Ambas-
sador Brand Whitlock. in which he
gives these outstanding characters
in connection with the world war In
Belgium their just due. And he
makes il plain that when the war
was over. so far as hostiIities were
concerned. the Red Cross Commits
SIGN left Belgium just as soon as
it was possible to do so. In this
action it was as humanity efficient as
In all It's other endeavors that will

THE LITTLE COIsNE Err NEVER
CONQUERED. The Story of the
American Red Cross Work for Bel
GUM BY John Van Schaick. Jr.
The Macmillan Company.
T 18TH in the series of volumes
i describing the work of the
American Red Cross in the
world war comes Mr.. Van Schaick's
book on what the A. r. C. did In
Belgium and elsewhere for the
distressed people OF that country,
much of which was necessarily
done in that angle OF land be-
tween the North Sea and France
In what this author picturesquely
describes as "the little corner never
conquered" Mr.. Van Schaick has
had a sufficient interval OF time
since the close Of hostilities to get a
wider perspective on the problems
be faced as Commissioner to Belgium
Tor the A. r. G. than did those writ
ers who have preceded him In this
series And SO the war itself occu-
piles a commercially small proper
tion OF his text, the much larger and
more important part being devoted
70 the Red Cross activities and to
those OF the forces working with the
A. r. c., whether French, Belgian OF
the Quakers.
In common with the preceding vol
umes in this series this relates tale
OF extraordinary endeavor, one
marked BY a general desire to put
rank. precedence and forms aside and
make assistance to the Belgians
count above all else. A pointed Illus
tration of this IL to be found In the
case OF Hr. Van Schaick's wife. q
linguist of first rank and thoroughly
at home in France and Belgium. who
went abroad with her husband as an
unofficial member of the party. AS
soon as her accomplishments were
discovered she was made one of the
official translators of the commits
sion. rank she shared with the wife
of another member.
The skill with which the commission
avoided any participation in the poll
tics of Belgium is another admirable
feature OF this narrative. AS for
mistakes, there DO not apr to have
been many like that of the purchas-
Ing agent in Paris who. instead of
buying Normandy cows at 1000
francs each. to supply milk for the
children. found he could get Breton
COWS for 500 francs and bought them

REv.T.E.P PORTER
CALL CONFIRMED
Edgeuood Baptist to Have Pastor
Who Alternates Service In
AndaIusia.

Rev. A. e. Peterson, Duquoin.
acting general superintendent of
the Illinois Baptist convention. has
confirmed the call from the Edge
wood Baptist church for Rev.
Thomas NJ. Porter of Burr Mission,
Chicago.
Rev. Mr.. Porter has been in the
city three weeks, and has had
charge of the services at the
church. The congregation recently
issued a call. which was sanctioned
by. the convention and announced
today in a list of changes of pas
torates throughout the state.
The church has been without a
regular pastor since early fall
when Rev. J. A. Carwyle resigned
and went to Carthage. The plan
of the new pastor is to preach al
ternate Sunday mornings in the
Edgewood church, and in Anda-
lusia. He will preach in Rock Is
land each Sunday evening, and
will have his residence in the
church parsonage, 44S Forty-fourth
street. His family has arrived
in the city and the regular church
duties will be assumed at once.

EX-CITY ATTORNEY
OF DAVENPORT Is

U. A. Scheechfield, city attorney
of Davenport under the Socialist
administration two years ago, has
been sued for divorce by Mrs. Dora
A Schreechfeld on the ground of
cruel and inhuman treatment. The
bill omits details.
Because her husband accused
her of attempting to poison him,
and of killing their three children,
Minnie Sher, wife of Sam Sher,
owner of junk yard, 1210-121s
West Second street, Davenport, has
sued for divorce. She denies his
charges, and asks temporary and
permanent alimony in the sum of
$50 a week, and the custody of two
minor children. The couple was
married in Kremeniz, Russia, 10
years ago.

along the Mississippi north of New
Boston would hold. All last night
the water level was at a standstill
and late this morning no rise was
observed.
Seepage through the newly erect
ed barricades on top of the levee
is causing trouble and hundreds of
workers from all over the county
are kept busy protecting the dikes
where the water breaks through.
In some places along the Bay Is
land levees the water level is a
foot above the top of the dixie. but
is being held by the newly erected
barricades. Hope for the district
now depends on how long the food
waters will remain at standsti!l.
II the water does not start reced-
ing soon and heavy wind sweeps
the district it will be impossible TO
save the land.
At Keithsburg the water is also
at standstill. The bikes at that
place are considerably higher than
these at the Bay Island district and
it has not been necessary to build
them higher. Many homes along
the river front have been aban-
doned. The crest is said to have
reached Keithsburg at 2 o'clock
this morning and the levee is pro-
nounced safe.
Fear Boat Waves.
Hundreds Of spectators visited
the river fronts at Keithsburg and
New Boston yesterday. Visitors
were not allowed to go on the
leyees, as every man available was
needed there to help fight the wa
ter. The greatest problem which
confronted the workers was to
transport the sand bags to the dan
ger points, as only one barge and
a small steamboat were available.
The latter could only be run at half
speed when nearing the levees, as
the waves threatened to roll over
the top at any minute.
