Arrived at Vladivostok, the children
whose ages range from three to sew
enteen years, were held in quarantine
for the required period, then moved to
| Russian Island, about six miles from
| the city, where military barracks were
| made suitable for housing the colony.
Here, with most of the Russian in
structOrs and nurses who left home
with them, and with additional Amer
lean personnel, as well as German and
Austrian prisoners of war to do the
heavy work. they have been given the
best Of care ever since.
The colony has a dental clinic, a
hospital and primary school classes.
The older children come daily into the
city to attend the commercial school.
the Brown school for girls and the
gymnasium (high SCHOOL,. Natural
talents, such as art and music, are
cultivated. Thirteen of the larger girls
took the course of training which fit
ted them to be nurses aids in the
American Red Cross hospital here, and
a number of others are in charge of
the colony sewing room in which the
children's clothing is made.
In a group of several hundred young
people it is to he expected many will
show exceptional qualities of temper
ament and ability. Several of these
children have remarkably fine voices.
One little girl, whose mother is a pro-
fessiOnal dancer, has a gift for the
stage that would charm the most arts
tic audience. Still another paints
beautifully. The genius for mechan-
les possessed by many of the boys is
shown in their toys, whitfield out of
bits of wood with whatever sharn-
edged tool they can find.
Associated with the colony-hangers
on who have such pitiabIe histories
they could not he turned away-are
several interesting children gathered
up Incidentally by the Red Cross peo-
pie. One is a girl of sixteen. who

ney here and offered to do any kind Of
work if she might only be permitted to
stay with the colony. Another is a
child of about twelve, who with her
two little brothers wandered all the
way from the region of the Black sea
so early in the great war that she has
| forgotten her home town, the names
of her parents and her own age. 1t is
estimated 5000 children were sent
eastward from Petrograd. All trace
of hundreds of them has been lost.
Before the flight from Omsk became
necessary the Red Cross maintained
colony at TurgOyak, Siberia. Into
the colony wandered two ragged, fam
ished children. The girl said she was
nine years old-and that is literally
all she could tell about herself. All
she could tell about her companion,
a younger boy, was that he was her
"Onliest brother" What those two
children had been through can hardly
be imagined. One group of five of
these miserable little refugees ap-
peared at NladivOstok-a girl and her
four brothers. She was "little mother"
Of the outfit One had lost a leg.
They were orphaned and hor' eless.
These five children had made their

This journey will write the last
chapter in history of wandering and
adventure in a revolutiOn-torn cOun-
try that can hardly be matched in the
whole record of world upheaval during
the last six years. 1t seems almost a
tale out of the Old Testament, and
thousand years from now, it's perhaps
not too much to say, the Russians,
with their dramatic instinct and mys-
ticism, will have made 1t part of
their rich folk lore.
When the revolution moved toward
its height in the Great White Empire
many fathers and mothers of Petro-
grad looked at their already underfed
children, considered future possibili-
ties, gathered them into groups of 20,
90, 100, with nurses and teachers. and
sent them away to the peaceful, rich
acres of Siberia For Il few months
until the trouble blows ever"
Time came to return home. But be-
tween the children ana their parents
there had risen a barrier of fire; a
dead line formed of the long battle |
fronts of the opposed bOlsheyiki and |
Czech armies Months passed. Win |
ter arrived. Clothing had become |
rags. Funds We're exhausted. Hun
ger and spreading war horrors con-
frOnted the wanderers.
Then the Omsk government came !
into being. Instructors and nurses of |
the young people appealed To this
power for aid, and the Omsk regime
passed the appeal along to "the Great
est Mother in the World" who opened
her arms and gathered them to her
broad bosom.
Group after group was taken over
by the American Red Cross, which es-
tablished colonies in western Siberia
and apparently solved the problem of
feeding and housing its young charges.
But the battle line swayed eastward
and the 'bOlsheyiki captured town aft
er town where American Red Cross
activities were in full operation. With
less than "a hours Roadway the first
group was evacuated, then the next
and the next, until all were out of ,
danger.
