by their parents when revolution
gripped the old Russian capital. are
on their way from San Francisco to
New York by way of the Panama
canal. They came from Vladivostok
under the care of the American Red
Cross Of which they have been wards
for two years. They are going back
to Petrograd after suffering and
wanderings that for some OF them
have blotted out every recollection OF
their parents, the places OF their
birth or even Of their own names.
Speaking of the experiences Of the
children, who range in age from 8 to
II years, a statement by the Red
Cross said:
'"The long sea journey writes the
last chapter-in a history Of wander
irgs and adventure in a revolution
torn country, that can hardly be
matched in the whole record of world
upheaval in the last six years." the
announcement says. st seems almost
a tale out Of the Old Testament or

parents in Petrograd decided to send
the youngsters into peaceful Siberia
until the trouble was over" They
were sent east in charge OF nurses
and teachers.
Later, barrier OF fire marking the
battle lines Of the opposing Russian
and Czech armies had been stretched
between the youngsters and their
homes. Months passed. Winter ar
rived, funds were exhausted and
hunger and war horrors menaced the
wanderers. The Omsk government.
appealed to for help, passed it on to
the Red Cross.
Group after group was taken over
by the Red Gross, which established
colonies IN western Siberia and had
apparently solved the problem of
caring for its charges when the
battleline swayed eastward and the
bolsheviki captured town after town.
Groups Of the children barely escaped
capture. Finally it was decided to
take them to vladivostok.
Three trains OF specially equipped
box cars with n guard of American
doughhoys transported the precious
cargo on journey lasting several
weeks thru country stripped bare
of provisions the report continued.
1T may be said that ingenuity was
taxed to the utmost in obtaining
supplies, avoiding disease epidemic
areas and evading other troubles"
Finally the children were settled at
Russian islands In Vladivostok hnr-
Dor in barracks with German and
Austrian prisoners pressed into serv-
ice to do the heavy work. Schools
and hospitals were established, nat
ural talents were cultivated and
thirteen Of the larger girls took a
