Miss I.ucy Hewitt, who is in I charge of the club, confirmed it She admitted that the little red, white and bjue buttons, which sold for 10 cents each had worked won : ders in the committee's efforts to rechicken France, had been frowned on by tho National investigation Bureau, a charities supervision or -1 ganizatton, with headquarters at 1 Madison avenue. The bureau. Miss Hewitt ex plained, objected to the use of tho button purely on technical grounds. The use of the little emblems, the bureau pointed out, violated its specific ruling that all organizations 'which want to appear Mn its official , list of approved charities must not sell buttons except during drives. And the Pouttry Club is conducting no special drive, j About 230,000 of the buttons, with their rampant little chickens perch ;od on American shields, have al- I ready been distributed throughout [the countr# and may still adorn the ; coats of their purchasers. Various branches of the Poultry Club out of , town still have scant supplies of the i emblems, which they will distribute. But no new ones will bo ordered, and instead of the button, it is an nounced, there •will a thoroughly conventional membership badge, which will bear this carefully phras ed slogan. "I am a member of the Poultry Club of the American Committee for Devastated France." The "1 have a chicken in Frahce" buttons have sold themselves, al most . without publicity, according to Miss Hewitt. Since last June, when the distribution began, thpy have brought in about' $lB,OOO, which hns been used to estAbilah thirty separate poultry casters' in France. x \ ;, 'f Ambition Pills For Nervous People The great news tonic—the famous Wendell's Ambition Pills —that will put vigor, vim and vitality into ner vous, urcd out. all in. deeponden' people in a few days In many In stances.

BOOKS AND MAGAZINES MOON OF ISR.\EL; A TALE OF THE EXODUS By H Rider Haggard,. Author of "She," "Allan Quartermaln," "Marie," "Child of Storm," "The Wanderer's Necklace," etc. This book tells the story of the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, as It might have appeared to an Egyptian, Ana, who took a leading part in the circumstances which surrounded that tremendous event. The lines of the Old Testament narratives are followed closoly, but the narrator, the scribe and novelist, Anana, or Ana as he is here cnllefl, naturally puts his own interpretation upon some of these happenings. To him they seem to represent a war be tween the God of Israel and the gods of the Egyptians, of whom Amon or Amen was the chief, as in deed they did according to the Bible. It remain to be added that Anana or Ana really lived in the time of Setl 11, and was the author, among other romances, of the fam ous "Tale of the Two Brothers." The period is that which Is gen erally accepted as the date of the Exodus, at or about the end of the reign of Pharaoh Meneptah, the son of Ramesse the Great, and it Is Sir Gaston Mnspero informed its based on the theory which the late writer he considered quite probable, that the usurper, Amenneses, Im mediately succeeded Meneptah and was the actual Pharaoh of the Ex odus. The love Interest in the tale Is furnished by its heroine, a Hebrew lady named Merapi, Moon of Israel. To their "Library of French Fic tion" E. P. Dutton and Company are preparing to make shortly three new additions, of which one will be "Nono; Love and the Soil," by Gas- Rpupnel, translated by Barnot J. Beyer, a story in which a humble wine-grower of Burgundy is the central figure. The author's fine art reproduces him and his family and friends with graphic portrayal and makes his love and sorrow his frailties and his goodness, dramat ically vivid and interesting. TIW purpose of this series of French novels is to bring forth American readers the work of French authors who deal with other and more Char acteristic phases of French life than do those who .concern themselves solely with the more or less decad ent features of life in Paris. Un fortunately, so much attention has been paid to these later novels in stories of the proofs displayed, as English speaking countries that a false conception of the French peo ple and their character had, before the war, been spread abroad. The novels in Button's "Library of French Fiction' are all selected with the purpose of showing how French novelists depict French life outside of the bohemian circle of Paris. Newspaper correspondents have been sending from Brussels many soon as the Germans left, of the patriotism which had steadily burn ed in the breasts of the Belgians under German rule. But none of them gives so complete and convinc ing a picture as does Jean Massart in his little book. "The Secret Press in Belgium" (H. E. Dutton and Com pany), in which he tells how the famous paper, "La Libre Belglque," was seeretely printed and circulated and reveals also the methods em ployed in the secret reprinting and circulation of other periodicals, books phamphlets, pictures and music. One of the collections ofj ltaemaker's drawings, for instance, was smuggled into Belgium and pas sed rapidly from house to house. It was discovered in a domiciliary search, of the efflciont sort that frequently happened and confiscated. But the first person to see It had made photographic copies of all the pictures and these were widely dis tributed, with, of course, the great est secrecy. "King Albert's Book," the author says, was translated and a good many copies had been sold, the proceeds being devoted to food relief of the poor. Then the Ger mans descended on the secret office and seized the staff, the fonts of type, the printed sheets, the paper and the entire plant of the printing office. "They thought," says M. lilussart, "they had finally got rid of 'King Albert's Book,' when, to their profound annoyance, only a week later, 10,000 fresh copies ap peared on the secret market." "The romance of the Red Tri angle," by Sir Arthur K. Yapp, K. B. E., recently published by George H. Doran Company, is a vertible storehouse of the incidents which havei made war both a tragic and humorous thing. O little vignette of "Le Triangle Rouge" is this story; "One of the funniest sights we saw in France was that of a tiny British corporal marching behind ten stal wart German prisoners, escorting them back to their quarters ufter they had finished orderly duty in one of our tents. The humour of the situation evidently appealed to him, for he winked as he passed us—quite an unsoidierly thing to do." The world of art will welcome ten more of the charming and vi vacious pencil sketches by Charles Huard, official painter to the Sixth French Army, appearing as illustra tions to his wife's most recent war pictures from France. "With Those Who Wait" (Duran). by Frances Wilson Huard, M. Charles Huard's drawings through exhibitions, mag azines, and Madam Huard's books are already famous in this country. "They have," says the New York Evening Globe, "something of the mellow effect of certain French prints of a generation ago." , Mission Leaders Wire Wilson Message of Cheer Hartford. Conn., Dec. 13.—Mis sionaries from India, Africa, Tur key and the Balkans were heard at the sessions of the American Board of Commissioners for foreign mis sions here to-day.
