OF unusual beauty and attractlveness,
Tor TO these Qualities make a girl saIable.
In one way or another he makes the ao-
!ualntance OF the girl He gossips OF
America with her as he buys flowers at

sums That arc to be earned beyond the
seas He suggests that he might be

Use, In the end he persuades the girl
TO leave her humble booth where her

Quite naturally the girl later awakes

II IL in the detection OF the explolta-
tIon OF these foreign girls that Uncle
Sam has sent new corps OF secret
agents abroad. They are In the marts
OF all the foreign cities. Particularly are
white slavers there maintain what they
call Il trying out ground q sort OF clear

Here, again. the federal government Is
calling in the aid of another OF It's de-
partmcnts, for there IS resource back OF
a great nation when it becomes thor
oughly determined to crush out ar unde-
sirable blot on It's good name. The state
department. through It's diplomatic and
consular forces. is being called upon to
lend every possible MD TO the detection
OF the carriers on OF this traffic. These
officials are closely In touch with con-
arc assigned and with the police forces
OF those communities. Secretly all these

government first began doing business
than Is just now being carried out
against the white slave movement
The fight has been carried on spor-
adcaily in different communities for
a number OF years. New York had It's
grand jury TO Investigate the move

D. Rockefeller as its foreman. IN IT'S
report this grand jury said;
iIt appears from the indictments found
by us and from the testimony OF wit

WOMEN does exist, and Is carried on by
individuals acting for their own individ-
ual benefit. and that these persons are
known TO each other and are moro or less
informally associated.
Slave Traders Organized.
I'VE have also found that nssoca
tions or clubs composed mainly or wholly
