been charged with having been active
in the so-called white slave" trade.
There is direct evidence against some
of the American tribes, showing that
hundreds of the swarthy wanderers
have lured away young white girls
from towns, villages and farms. ana
sold them into captivity Moreover,
there is evidence that the gypsies have
sold their wives and daughters into
captivity. indicating that the morals
of the gypsies are degeneratng

become aware of the dangerous white
slave practices of the gypsies are look

suspicion than usual at this time,
They are warning young girls to
keep away from the camps where
formerly they went to have their for
tunes told, warning householders to
keep gypsy women out of their homes.
and warning constableS to keep a
sharp lookout for the men who prom
Use servant girls chances for good
jobs in the large cities.
The gypsy has thrived for many
years in the United States, where he
is still somewhat of curiosity His
glib tongue, his skill in handling
horses, his persistence and his trick
cry have enabled him to accumulate
much money, which he stores in
banks. Picturesque, untidy, fortune
telling gypsy women have ably as
sisted their lords in accommodating
money. for they have a decided facul-
ty for coaxing silver pieces from the
pockets of superstitious women, who
firmly believe the gypsies have the
power Of foretelling events
Gypsies have never gone through
the crucible which makes Americans
out of foeigners, They have stead

few exceptions. they refuse to identify
themselves with any nation. The
gypsies now travelling the highways
OF England may be travelling the New
England States next year; the gypsies
who have made France their travel

their camps this summer in Ohio and
