RETURNING TO US,
 AFTER LONG WAIT
Mother and Three Children Finally Break Through Barrier

When Mrs. Alpine Aniskiewicz lef, in 1921 with three children, Stanis- laus Anthony and Edward, then G., | and respectively, for Poland. it with the intention of staying there for only a year of possibly two, and returning to America to her hus- band, but fate willed differently and It IS only now that she is coming back.
 The husband sent for them late m 1923. but due to much 'red tape the family could not leave at once. Early in 1924 the father became sick and died soon after. When this was learned the authorities would not allow the mother to go back to America as her husband was not d citizen of the United States although they were ready and willing to separate the children who were born here from her and send them to America. Her passport was cancel led and she found herself stranded and without means.
 Since then an avalanche Of corres- pondence was exchanged between Joseph Kloskowski, who took the matter in his hands and the authori- lies in Washington, New York and Warsaw, and with the help of Judge Bernard r. Gaffney. who pro- bated the will of Aniskiewicz, sue ceeded finally in securing q visa for he woman. who will arrive with her children on the Leviathan, Monday. They will make their home with her brother, w. Makarcvicz, of B"tth street. -..-.
