the emotions that form the heart touch-

Ing today over the fate OF $50 Russian

housed in the barracks OF Fort Wads-
worth, Staten Island.
Into, this controversy were injected
the charges and counter charges by
two agencies. both OF which claim to

and send the youngsters directly to

by rail to their homes in Petrograd
and vicinity, Opposing this plan is the
Russian division Of the AAmercan Red

they were marooned In the Ural noun
tatns in far off Siberia. The Red Cross,
fearing for the childrens safety under
