as a result of seditious talk recently.
Uncle Sam is getting "riled" over such

them toddled other youngsters, many
of them carrying their treasured dolls
and not few clinging determinedly
to squirming puppies which they dared
not trust to run on the ground. Old
man and women were bringing away
all the household effects they could
pack on pushcarts or carry on their

been in captivity and some of them in
slavery. They had been subsisting on
