LINCOLN FAMILY FACTS REVEALED . * «V* Found in Records of Berks . County, Pennsylvania. ■ 1 " "T" • Springfield, 111. —-The Lincoln tra dition of Berks county, Pennsylvania, reviewed by the recent death of Rob ert Todd Lincoln, the -fimancipator’s last surviving child, has caused re newed historical researches .into the ebunty records of early days. Ancestors of Robert Todd Lincoln, it was found, played a leading part in the historical and political affairs of the county during the latter part of the Eighteenth century, one of them serving, in the stat<E» legislature a few years after the Revolutionary war. The first Lincolns came into Ches ter county from New Jersey about 1720. These early arrivals were Mor decai and his brother Abraham. Mordecai’s family comprised four children, Mordecai, Thomas, “Virginia John” and Abraham, born after his father's death. . “Virginia John” was the great-great-grandfather of Rob ert Todd Lincoln. After the death of Mordecai the four sons moved to Berks county and the county records still show the ex -1 ‘ent of the influence which the fam ily exerted in the affairs of the coun ty. Mordecai and his wife, Mary, were owners of property in Reading, and Thomas was elected county sher- , - !T in 1735. The younger Abraham, however, i was the politician of tlie time. From | 1772 to 1779 he served as county eom : missioncr. Later lie was elected to thp state assembly and lie represent ed the county during 1782, 1783, 1784 and 17 So. At the close of the Revolutionary war lie was chosen to make an ad dress to General Washington on a visit to Philadelphia. On the original draft of the Pennsylvania constitu tion of 1790 his signature is found ns a member of the constitutional con vention from Berks county. Between the years of 17G5 and 1708 “Virginia John,” fired by the exploits of Daniel Boone, son of a neighboring farmer, left the county and moved to Virginia. Some years later Abraham, a son, the great-grandfather of Rob ert, left Virginia for Larue county, Kentucky. In the meantime a romance had grown up between Abraham and Anna Boone, cousin of Daniel Boone. Their wedd'ng met with rebuke in the little Quaker settlement, ami it was not until she acknowledged her error pub licly that the disgrace of her mar riage “out of meeting” was forgiven.

Washington. Belgium considers selling to Germany, according to cable reports, the two border cantons of Maliued.v and Eupen. '•? “If cabled facts in the transaction are correct, this deal in’ International real estate equals any flights of fancy prices in America,” says a bulletin of the National Geographic soeiety from its headquarters iy Washington. “Belgium has been the owner of Eupen and Melmedy for six years. They are both hill towns. The first lias 14,(X)6, and the second 4,000 in habitants, and the whole 382 square j miles of territory contains not more than GO,OOO people. The wooded i countryside -offers no such rich agri -1 cultural perspective as tjie fertile Bel -1 gian plain farther west. The hills contain no minerals of importance. Yet I the tentative price is reported to he j 1,000,000,000 gold marks. At current rates of exchange this is equal to ap proximately $40,000,000, which is a six-year profit any American realtor •can appreciate. Two Towns Near Liege, i “No one of the present generation can" forget Liege, so it is easy to lo | cate Eupen and Malmedy by fixing the , former 23 miles east, and the fatter 25 miles southeast, of that martyred Belgian town. Eupen can almost claim to be suburb of Aix-la-Cliapelle, or Aachen, as the Germans call it. From Eupen the Germans stepped across the border on August 5, 1914. Mal medy is farther south along the Ger man-Belgium frontier,. which is only 40 miles long. Directly across the line from Malmedy is Spa. Not a spa, but The Spa, whose health springs at tracted crowned beads of Europe dur ing the first part of the Nineteenth century. “At Versailles, in 1918, Belgium wanted 14 cantons in the so-called Eifel district of Germany e joining the Belgian border. She claii . d them as lost Walloon territory taken by Prussia by the treaty of 'Vienna, in 1815. Belgium is half Wall n and half Flemish. The Walloon half is the forested uplands nearest France. Wal loon speech resembles French and the religion is Catholic. Flemings, on the other hand, live In the fertile plain, are Protestants, and speak a Dutch language. At one time, Walloon fam ilies may have outnumbered till others in ‘beyond the border' cantons, but the Germans changed that. Indeed, Eupen, a wool weaving center, is said to he German now but Melmedy. Iso- | lated in the hills, is still Walloon. Five Hundred People Without a , Country. “Neighbor to Malmedy and Eupen , Is Moresnet, which is a freak of bor der barter. In neutral Moresnet live 300 men, wopien and children without a country. “The town sits over a zinc mine ! which Ims been worked for hundreds of years. When it came to laying a border line neither Belgium nor Ger many would consent to the other own ing Moresnet and its mine. They com promised to create neutral Moresnet. It is not a state, yet it belongs to no one. - Moresnet is measured in acres instead of square miles, 1,400 acres, according to one authority, and 800 acres according to another. One year it lias a Qerman burgomaster, the next a Belgian burgomaster. Customs reve nue is collected by German agents and divided between the two countries. “Moresnet came near to being over crowded shortly before the World war | because its inhabitants, being citizens | of no country, did not have to serve in the army. Belgians and Germans wishing to escape military service flocked to Moresnet until the two god parent countries put a stop to that. A glimpse into Moresnet’s economic life ! is afforded by its taxation policy. Funds to run this village without a country are obtained through subsidy from the mining company and a li cense on draught dogs!” !
