March 21st, having been convicted un-
der the espionage act Of seditious ut
terances, was released this morning on
his own. bond on an order from the
federal authorities. Cady, when noti-
fed Of this action by the officials, hes
itated to sign the bond FOR some time,
but finally concluded that little open
air exercise would be beneficial to him
and signed the instrument necessary
to his release.
Cady's arrest and conviction resulted
from a careTessness of speech at the
Red CROSS drive the first Of the year,
when IL is reported that he said T
would rather wear prison stripes than
the Army khaki" Cady evidently
has had time to thoroly analyze the
matter and has decided that a change

choice as to where they- would go from
Paris. These 1t was necessary to
maintain until they could be provided
with homes. Many with definite des-
tinations wished to proceed at once on
their journeys. This involved night
trip to another railway station across
Paris. Until motortrucks and automO-
biles could be assembled, the Red
Cross men hired push carts for the
night and personally led caravans Of
refugees with baggage and belongings
to the other depOts. Many little chill
