ORAND WITLOCK is
a- Titinc Uie story of
the sack oFBclgium. ,
As our Minister and an
Director of the American
Relief, he vas eye witness
lo that cruel and stupend
us crime.
Brand Whitlock is able,
forceful, a trained observer
a rarely gifted writer. He
starts like a thoroughbred,
tense with reserve power
With hardly a hint of
tragedy he begins by show
ing us little Belgium as bo
found it, happy simple
kind-hearted.
ud yet as the story
grows, the senstt of what is
impending grips one by tho
throat.
Without these opening
chapters no reader will
fully realize tho pathos,
theexquisite literary charm,
or the contrast of his crash
ing climaxes.
Those with appreciation
will recognize that tho
tragedy has wrought upon
him until the result is such
literature as may never
again come out of the War,
such history as America
must know to etand united.
