Is Work Too Hard?
Many kinds of work wear out the

any kind of work hard. It brings
morning lameness, backache, head

urinary troubles. If your work is
confining, strains the back, or ex

Washington, D. C.—The Iron Gates,
the last great defile of the Danube in
its course to the Black Sea and the
lirst point at which the Austrians
launched an offensive against their
new enemies, the Rumanians, is de
scribed in the following war geography
bulletin which the National Geographic
society issued today:
“Contrai-y to the general belief of
readers to whom the term 'Iron Gates
of the Danube’ is familiar, this famous
defile of the chief waterway of Hun
gary, Rumania. Bulgaria and Serbia
does not derive its name from pi'ecipi
tous walls of l'ock through which the
w'aters dash in a narrow- channel, as
at the Kazan Defile, but from the dan
gerous boulders that fairly litter the
river bed for a distance of nearly two
miles, beginning at the once strongly
fortified island of Ada Kaleli which
was captured by Hungary in 1878 and
is still inhabited by a pictui-esque col
ony of GOO Turks. Opposite this island,
on the left bank of the Danube and at
the mouth of the inconsequential
Baehna River, which here forms the
Hungarian-Rumanian boundary, is the
attractive little Rumanian customs vil
lage of Veriorva on the Budapest
Bucharest railway, 237 miles west of
the latter city.
“It was not until 1890 that work was
begun in a definite and comprehensive
manner to rid the iron gates of some
of its gravest dangers to navigation. In
that year a Hungarian engineering
company undertook the task of re
moving nearly 1,250,000 cubic yards of
stone from the watercourse. Eight
years after the enterprise was inaugur
ated the canal which had been hewn
from the solid rock on the Serbian side
of the river was i-eady to be thrown
open to the steamers which ply the
Danube from Budapest to the Black
Sea. The canal was designed to pi'ovide
a year round channel VU feet deep,
whereas the original course of the
river was not navtgame tor more man '
ni”? months out of every 12.
‘The opening of the waterway was
the occasion for a great celebration in
which three monarchs participated—
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria
flungary, King Alexander of Serbia,
and King Carol (Charles 1) of Ru
mania. The festivities of the day were
somewhat marred by the discovery that
the current through the canal was so
swift that while steamers could rush
through it in their downward journey
they could not make the trip upward,
so that the old river course had to be
used for westward bound traffic.
“When the water is high the rocks
of the iron gates are completely sub
merged, but they are only a few feet
beneath the surface and the boiling,
churning waves present a terrifying
sight to the timid passenger as his
steamer fights its way to the calmer
reaches in the vicinity of Orsova (pro
nounced Orshova), the first town in
Hungarian territory, five miles above
the rapid.! and a 10-hour journey by
boat below Belgrade, the peace times
capital of Serbia.
“Instead of the gloomy gorge which
most travelers expect to find, the banks
on each side of the iron gates present
a beautiful picture of gently sloping
hills, beautifully wooded. In the early
summer these woods are a fairyland of
flowers and the wind3 are fairly
weighted with the fragrance of wild
blossoms in countless variety, while a
short distance from the river the
huntsman finds deer, wild boar, bear
and other games in abundance. En
hancing the charm of the scene are the
songs of myriad birds which make their
home in the forests.
“As the river progresses eastward
into Rumania the wooded hills disap
pear and are succeeded by barren sand
ridges.”
MUSIC IN THE THEATER.
From Musical America.
Eugene Haile, whose songs have
been widely sung in concert in this
country, has completed an elaborate
orchestral score to accompany the fan
tastic comedy, "The Happy Ending,"
which opened in New York at the Shu
bert theater on Monday. August 21,
under the direction of Arthur Hopkins.
This production continues one of the
most interesting tendencies of the pres
ent day American theater—that of giv
ing increased importance to music in
poetic and spectacular plays. In the
present case Mr. Haile has worked un
hampered in his attempt to make the
music an intimate part of the action of
the MacPhersons’ play.
This tendency in the American
theater is especially interesting be
cause of the huge audience it gives to
the American composer. A few thou
sand interested musicians have heard
Edgar Stillman Kelley's admirable
symphonies. Millions—5,000,000 is a
conservative estimate—have heard his
music for "Ben Hur.” A play which
runs a whole season on Broadway Is
seen by from 300,000 to 500,000 per
sons. If it is sent on the road the
number soon reaches 1,000,000. This
Is an audience such as the composer
can never hope to reach in strictly
musical channels—excepting only that
rare composer who can write a “Ros
ary.” The fact that the composer Is
being received in the American theater
on an equal basis with the playwright
and scene designer is one of the great
est significance to American music.
The field is not limited. Into the
inuhiv iui u ptay tt cuiupuser tail
put liis best work. The superb score
which Arthur Farwell wrote for
"Joseph and His Brethren” is one of
the most ambitious things he has done.
There are difficulties, of course. The
ordinary theater orchestra may not be
adequate to the task. In the past,
theater managers have sometimes been
inclined to slight the music—to cut
down the orchestra by half at the last
moment, without any thought of the
months of careful scoring on the part
of the composer. Not infrequently the
manager commissions "music" without
thought or care for quality or fitness.
But because men like Mr. Farwell and
Mr. Kelley have taken their work seri
ously. music in the theater has gained
something like its rightful dignity.
Nowadays if the composer insists that
he needs an extra horn he is likely
to get it. The public has accepted
good music as a part of a poetic play
and likes it. The way Is open for the
established American composer to en
large his audience a hundred times
over.

SAYS BELGIUM WILL
COME INTO HER OWN
Little Kingdom Will Regain
Her Lost Place In Sun,
Says Minister.
Havre, France, (by mall).—“Belgium
will come back to her own, to her place
In the sun, and to complete freedom
and independence,’’ said Huron Be*eus,
minister of foreign affairs of Belgium,
in the course of an authorized interview
given to the Associated Press.
Baron Beyens is one of the notable
figures of the present war, for up to the
beginning of the war he was the Bel
gian minister at Berlin and went
through the crisis culminating in the
first blow at Belgium and the immedi
ate entry of England, France and all
Europe into the seething struggle. Then,
leaving Berlin, he entered the Belgian
cabinet and has since directed the for
eign affairs of the country, finding time
also to write a book which graphically
describes "the week of tragedy’’ at the
German capital when the British and
French ambassadors and himself made
their last attempts to prevent the Euro
pean conflict.
The ministry of foreign affairs, where
Baron Beyens was seen, is installed at
Ste. Adresse, a suburb of Havre, in the
Villa Hollandais, a rustic chalet occu
pied in ordinary times by seashore vis
itors, but now bearing on the outer gate
a small placard reading: "Ministere
des Affaires Estrangeres de Belgique.”
A foreign office usually suggests mar
ble halls and big diplomatic rooms with
ambassadors sitting among oil paint
ings and mahogany furnishings. But
the Villa Hollandais has nothing of this
kind. Three small pine structures have
been put up in the garden for various
diplomatic and consular branches. In
side the villa there is the simplicity of
a summer cottage, but everything is
scrupulously well done and effective.
Grateful to United States.
Baron. Beyens expressed at the out
set the deep sense of appreciation felt
by Belgium toward the people of the
United States, and, in particular, to
ward those who had directed the work
of sending food supplies to Belgium.
“I am always glad to meet an Amer
ican," said he, "and to express my grat
itude to your people in general and to
those who have literally saved our peo
ple from starvation. It is difficult for
me to say how much we feel indebted
to Mr. Hoover, head of the committee
directing the relief work of Belgium.
He har, proved himself a man of great
peace with Germany. Belgium had no
hostility to Germany. Wo had many
Germans among us, as you have In
America, and many of our people spoke
the German language. A spirit of
good feeling and of confidence pre
vailed, so far ns we were concerned. I
have reason to know this as 1 was
minister at Berlin up to the opening
of the war, and had opportunity to
observe the mutual relations existing.
Denies Secret Treaty.
"Germany has sought to spread the
legend that Belgium had a secret
treaty with England relating to Ant
werp. But that is false. There is ng
such treaty, and never was such a
treaty. Certainly if such a document
existed I would know of it. and I af
firm to you, on my honor, that It does
not exist. No, the legend of the se
cret treaty is a pure invention set up
to justify, In the eyes of the world, the
crime against Belgium.
"in refusing the demand of Germany
to cross Belgium, we were simply per
forming a duty. We were bound to
act toward our German neighbor to
the east jusi as we would have done
toward our French neighbor to the
west, for our duty and all our interests
tended to maintain the same attitude
toward the powerful neighbors on our
two frontiers. Suppose France had
been the one to ask the right to cross
Belgium and to attack Germany. We
would have been bound to refuse it.
And had such a demand ever been
made, and ever been granted, what
would Germany have said? It would
have denounced us as violators of a
treaty, and as false and dishonorable.
Doubtless the world would have agreed
with this view, had Belgium taken
such a course.
"But, happily, this contingency did
not arise. France never sought to en
ter Belgium. Yet here again Germany
lias sought to set up a legend tiiat
French designs on Belgium led to the
German invasion of the country. But
that legend has been abundantly dta
proven. No, Germany's course in en
tering Belgium was purely a strategio
military operation, carefully planned
long in advance, and without the
slightest Justification of being a de
fensive move against French designs.
Against that our king and government
took tlie only path open to them—the
path of honor. There was nothing re
maining but to defend our freedom,
sword in hand, at the price of the na
tion’s best blood—a freedom that the
Germans, after defeating France, would

scornfully had we been weak enough
to listen to them and cowardly enough
to obey them.
‘ But Belgium will hev* her compen
sations when her complete independ
ence and freedom are established as
part of the peace settlement and an
adequate indemnity has been provided
for her and the time of reckoning ia
fast approaching. Rumania is the
latest to speak and to cast the weigh
of her influence and power In the bal
ance on the side of the allies. Belgium
has shaped her course, and with the
powerful support of her allies—England,
France, Russia, Italy, Japan, Portugal,
Serbia and now Rumania—she will
sustain her part of the burden of war
to the very end. Belgium will come
back to her own, in her place in the
sun, and to complete freedom and in
dependence.”

“We are most strongly of opinion,” says
the London Spectator, “that such a revo- j

that there shall be some Sort of dignity

all this has been accomplished with in

people.
"The American minister at Brussels,
Mr. Brand Whitlock, lias also won our
unbounded admiration and respect in
performing a work of colossal magni
tude under most trying conditions. Re
maining at Brussels while the govern
ment was constrained by circumstances
to establish Itself temporarily outside
of Belgium, the American minister has
been, with bis courageous Spanish col
league, the bulwark between our citi

and the German military and civil au
thorities temporarily in control. Out

und with rigorous harshness. In all
this Minister Whitlock has stood be

such lenience as we have received has
come largely through his energetic and
discreet Intervention.

WORSE THAN THE SLIPPER
Punishment Meted Out to Indian
Boys Certainly of the Most Stren
ous Nature.
My grandmother lmd 12 children,
and one uncle undertook to teach md
the art of worship, lie used to lead
me to the sand hanks of the Missouri
river, where lie would set tire to a pile
of driftwood, and then, taking me by
tlie hand, sing sacred songs to the fire
and river. In the meantime he threw
into them offerings of tobacco, red
feathers, and sometimes oak twigs. I
never knew the meaning of these offer
ings, but I always felt tlint some living
tiling actuated both the fire and the
river. Another uncle came to visit us
periodically, and every time he came
my brother or I suffered at his hands.
Sometimes he would rush to the spring,
carrying me horizontally under his
arm, and would plunge my head into
the water until I almost suffocated.
His common form -of discipline was to
let me bang by my hands on the cross
poles of the wigwam until my arms
ached. My body writhed before I
dropped. This uncle seemed to like
best to command my older brother to
tie iny hands and feet with a rope.
Then lie would order me to resist—nn
ordeal that would make us both cry.
In tlie winter he would ulso sometimes
roll us in snow naked. Tlie punish
ment of Indian children is usually in
tlie hands of some uncle rather than
the parents. Our punishments were
inflicted generally because we had dis

Want Hens in English Parks.
In the hope of saving a large part of

to throw open London parks for poul

ties because it is one of the latest war
time economies suggested on a large
scale. The promoters of the idea have
asked for part of one park to start
with. The plan provides for a site
of about three acres and accommoda
tion for 000 lions. The lending poul
try breeders of the country will be in

will go to tlie wounded soldiers, and
