shooting was found right side up not
far from shore with the guns and other
impediments of the party intact, thus

they had been drowned. Curtis En-
gneering Company planes have been
securing the flats for two days in an

Bedtime Stories
Blacky Talks With Dusky the Black Duck
By Thornton w. Burgess
Doubt not q friend, but to the last
Grip hard on faith and hold 1t fast.
-Blacky the Crow.

Every morning Blacky the Crow
of the Big River, hoping to ind Dusky
the Black Duck. He was anxious,
was Blacky. He feared that Dusky
or some of his flock had been killed
and he wanted to know. You see he
knew that Farmer Browns Boy had
been shooting over there. At last
early one morning he found Dusky
and his flock in the rushes and wild
rice. Eagerly he counted them. There
were nine Not one was missing.
Blacky sighed with relief and dropped
down on the shore close to where
Dusky was taking a nap.
"Hello!" said Blacky.
Dusky awoke with start. Hello,
yourself" said he.
"I've heard terrible gun bang
ing over here and | was afraid you
or some of your flock had been shot,"
said Blacky
"We haven't lost a feather" de-
elared Dusky. "That gun wasn't fired
at us, anyway"
"Then who was it fired at?" de-
manded Blacky.
III haven't the least idea," replied
Dusky.
Have you seen any other Ducks
about here?" inquired Blacky.
No1 one, was Dusky's prompt
reply. "If there had been any |
guess we would have known it,
Did you know that when that ter
ribie gun was fred there was an
other terrible gun right behind those
bushes?" asked Blacky.
Dusky shook his head. "No," said
ne, but learned long ago that where
there is one terrible gun there is
likely to be more, and so when |
heard that one bang | led my flock
away from here in hurry. We didn't
want to take any chances"
1t is a lucky.thing you did," re-
piled Blacky. "There was hunter
hiding behind those bushes all the
time. warned you of him once"
That reminds me that / haven't

there was something wrong over here.

1'ells His Invalid Mother

Mollic Steiner, Jacob Abrams, Hy-
man Lachowsky and Samuel Lipman,
the four young Russians who were con-
vctcd in United States District Court
on October 25, 1918, of violating the
espionage act, sailed yesterday for
Russia on the steamship Estonia, Of
the Baltic-American Line. just before
the ship pulled away from its moorings
at Pier s, Bush Docks, South Brooklyn,
by President Harding The understands
ing is that the four radicals shall
never return to the United States.
About 100 friends went to the ship to
say good by. They did not cheer or
otherwise applaud. They just stood
around. Lachowsky's mother was taken
to the pier in an automobile She is an
invalid. Friends carried her up the
gangplank and she kissed her son. She
has another son and daughter to care
for her here.
Bids His Mother Farewell
In saying farewell to his mother
Lachowsky said:
II do not regret the years I have
been here. l am coming back when
America is free. l will work for the
oOVlet government OH ILc OCHcT SLUG.
Abrams was accompanied by his wife,
who elected to sail with him. She wept
constantly.
Miss Steiner was the same Molly Of
old When asked for statement she
launched into an impromptu speech
that banished all governments from
the earth. She accepted her pardon
abruptly and continued her speech as if
resenting the Interruptions
"The time has come" she said, when
American working men should realize
autocratic administration. l hope to
see the time when there will be no gov
ernments,"
She added: owe anarchists are going
to make it so, somewhere"
When it was drawn to Miss Steimer's
attention that the Soviet was a form of
government she was stopped for mo-
ment. In that space of time some one
asked her whether she would begin up
setting the Soviet as soon as she landed
or whether she would wait a while.
She replied slowly:
"Until we get to Russia I don't know
what we shall do, but our belief Is that
man should not rule over man."
Friends Paying Their Expenses
Miss Steiner was sentenced to serve
fifteen years in Federal penitentiary.
The three others were sentenced to
serve twenty years each. Through the
activities of their counsel, Harry Vein
berger, it was arranged that they
should be relieved of their prison
terms if they would leave the country
at their own expense and never come
back. Friends supplied the money for
first cabin passage, and took with them
to the ship warm clothes and delicacies
for the voyagers.

Blacky was right. Farmer Browns
Boy had taken that way of making
sure that the hunter who had first
baited those Ducks with yellow corn
scattered in the rushes in front of his
hiding-place should have no chance
to kill any of them. While appear
ing to be ~an enemy, he really had
been friend of Dusky the Black
Duck and his flock.

their children and fearing that they
might miss their turn, clutched at his
gown as he passed and begged with
tears in their eyes and pleading in
their tones that he take their babies
next. At the end of the morning there
was large overflow waiting to be ex-
amined. Since the clinics will continue
every day except holidays and Sundays
there will bo ample opportunity for
those who were disappointed to re-
turn.
In each case Dr. Lorenz made care
full examination, diagnosed the trouble
attending physician. One tall ex-sol-
crutch, as result Of hip dislocation
suffered during active service, was told
to get a certain brace for his infirmity.
He has been examined by many ply
sicians who have been unable to help
him.
Child VIII Go to Vienna
At St. Marks Hospital fewer patients
were waiting, because it was not known
definitely that DR.. Lorenz would be
there. He was shown over the institu-
tion, and it. was recalled that he per-
formed operations there when in New
York before One of the worst cases
he examined. at st. Marks was that of
Sylvia Lupu, of y137 Alabama Avenue,
Brooklyn. She is five years old and
has hip dislocation. Her limbs are
enormously swollen. After looking her
over carefully DR.. Lorenz decided that
she would be susceptible to his treat
ment.' He told her father, Morris Lupu,
that he would need to take the child to
Vienna, however, as long series Of
treatments, extending over months,
would be necessary IL he were to do
any real good. The father there and
then decided that he should do so.
If the hospitals, with a few excep-
tions, are not showing any great cordi-
ality toward DR.. Lorenz. individuals
nre expressing their appreciation Of
his visit, and innumerable personal ap-
pointments are being sought. So far
he has had little time for anything
except the hundreds of sufferers who
have flocked to the Murray Hill Hotel
and the clinics. He will rest to-day
and will begin operating early to-mor-
row. 1t is believed that some physi-
clans will witness his work.
Dr.. Lorenz stopped his task at the
Hospital for Joint Diseases long
enough to take out two memberships
in the American Red Cross.
II cannot emphasize too highly the
value OF Red Cross relief" he said.

cans for it, for it has been Of the

Mothers Lift Crippled Babies
To Dr.. L0renz at Clinic Door
Take Mine First, They Plead, as Vicnnese Begins
His Rounds of Hospitals; Picks Ten Cases. Chiefly
Hip Dislocations, for Operations Tomorrow

The crippled of all ages and condi-
ton yesterday sought the aid Of DR..
Adolf Lorenz, the viennese orthopedic
surgeon. at the first Of his clinics to be
held in this country since he was here
eighteen years ago. In the morning
he conducted clinic on the second
floor of the Hospital for Joint Diseases,
Al East 23d Street; in the afternoon
he examined limited number Of cases
at St. Marks Hospital, 1T Second
Avenue.
From all these he selected ten
cases, mostly of hip dislocation, on
which he will operate, beginning at
o'clock tomorrow morning at the
Hospital for Joint Diseases. To most
of the others he gave. advice as to
braces, casts and adjustment. In cases
beyond his aid he gently told the pa
tient that there was nothing he could
do. There were many of these among
the scores that were examined.
From st. Marks Hospital DR.. Lorenz
went to the Broad Street Hospital late
fatigue occasioned by the examination
Of scores of sufferers he visited Mary
Moore, the actress who was seriously
hurt in motor accident last week In
the presence of Dr. Robert T. Morris
who performed surgical operation on
Miss Moore several days ago, and DR.
A. j. Barker Savage, superintendent
of the Broad Street Hospital. DR.
Lorenz made an adjustment of the
cast. Miss Moore's skull was fractured
in two places, the fourth vertebra in
her neck was broken and the fifth
sixth and seventh vertebrae were dis.
located. She is progressing favorably
DR.. Savage has invited DR.. Lorenz tc
hold a clinic in the Broad Street Hospi-
tai next Monday.
Patients in Line Await Him
A line of thirty persons was waiting
for the surgeon at the Hospital fol
Joint Diseases when he arrived there
at 10 o'clock in the morning. DR.
Henry W. Frauenthal, superintendent
of the hospital; Or. Joseph G.. Wishnel
and Dr. Walter I. Galland assisted him
in his work. All the staff physicians
watched his activities, but there were
no outsiders from the medical profes
sion. Examinations were conducted ir

shut off from one another. DR.. Lorenz
took each case in succession, his tai

from room to room with quick dis
