In the days of suspense concerning

was q slender possibility on which TO
pin hope for the rescue of the avia-

families accepted it thankfully and
never fora moment gave a sign that
the experience to which they were
subjected was hard to bear or that Il
doght Of the return Of the airmen had
entered their minds.
The wives and mothers and daugh-

do this their lives would be passed
in torment. But the courage AMI

Our National Library.

FEss declares, it stands third among
the great libraries of the world in
regard TO the number Of titles in IL.
Senator MITCHELL said I'm 1906 that

Congress to furnish it with such

popular among Congressman. In the

well to note in connection with this
latter circumstance that thousands of
aliens in our own country are doing
their best, whatever the reason that
impels them, to get back to the other
side Of the ocean.
Anyhow, the panic which fell upon
light headed members of Congress
over the hysterical cries of an immi-
nent inundation of this country by
tidal waves of immigrants is shown
to have been as unwarranted as it
was unseemly.
