two children, Harry and Sylvia, were
a happy family here in Kenosha. They
were of Russian birth, and like most
of that nationality, they were hard
working people, thrifty and honest,
happy in the thought that they were
giving their children a better chance
to grow up to useful man and woman
hood than their parents had been able
to give them; their life was frugal and
their greatest JOY was to plan together
for the future of their little ones.
Louis Isman was naturalized
American citizen, and under the laws
of this country, this made his wife
an American citizen also. But not so
in Russia, it appears.
The father and mother had prospered
to some extent and when urgent let
tiers from Russia from the grand
parents of the little people urged that
they be brought back for visit while
the old folk still lived, Mr.. Isman ar
ranged that his wife should take the
two children and sail away to the land
across the sea, making the long
journey alone that he might remain
and continue to earn the money that
was to pay for the trip
She travelled to Sandilkeow, Russia,
her former home, safely, and after her
visit was over she wanted to return.
But in the meantime the world war
had been declared and in the march of
events neither her happiness, that of
her homesick husband in his American
home nor the welfare of her little
ones counted an iota She tried to get
her passports for her journey back.
They were refused She declared her
husband was an American citizen.
This did not move the stern officials,
and they persisted in their position.
Her husband, through the proper
made repeated attempts to
secure her return, and so far all have
been fruitless. The Russian officials
claim that Notwithstanding whatever
her husband has given to
America, she is a subject of the Gear
and must remain in Russia.
Now the claim is being made through
our state department and through our
consul, Jacob E. Conner in Petrograd,
FOR the return of Harry, who was born
in America of naturalized parents and
IS claimed by this country as q citizen
Poor little Sylvia, who could not stand
the hardships to which the Russian
people have been subjected since the
war began, succumbed and has been
