Darmstadt. Germany. without having
obtained the formal permission of their
parents. These children had been In
trusted to a school OF dancing to be
trained as teachers. representing four
Of the now belligerent countries Of
Europe, Germany. Austria, Belgium and
Russia. On arrival In this country 1t
was discovered that the lack Of formal
guardianship papers exposed the chill
dren to the penalty OF deportation. but.
fortunately. liberal view Of the case
has been taken by the government
and the little pupils will be admitted
by special dispensation. In the adj
ministration Of the law consideration
must always be had for extraordinary
condition.. such as those that now pre-
vail abroad. and 1t is gratifying to see
that the statutes are being literally
construed In this respect No conceiva-
BILE harm could result from the admis-
sion Of these children. who are In no
wise subject to the objections that
render necessary the adoption Of a
strict watchfulness at our ports of
entry in ordinary times.
