One hundred and twenty-five Rus
sian refugee children In the care of
the American Red Cross at Fort
Wadsworth, B. I., ma4o' a dish for
liberty at noon to-day.
They scrambled over a tire-foot
picket fence, boya and girls alike,
getting about a fifteen-minute, start
on their nurses and guards. By run
nlng In all directions, stealing rides
on tho backs of automobiles and
trucks, they managed to scatter
themselves pretty well over the
island before the pursuit was thor
oughly organized. At 2 o'clock this
afternoon fifty of them had 'been re
captured. Tho reasons for the "uprising" were
not definitely learned, and probably
will not bo until all the children are
In hand again and tholr stories have
been compared. One report was that
the children simply liked America,
wanted to stay here, knew that they
were to sail for France next Friday,
and decided to run away.
Anothrr report leuchlng the police
was that agents of tho Bolshevlkl
had Inspired the children with the
idea that France was n terrible pluce
and that they might bo hold there for
a year or more. Uut this has Wot
been continued.
It was Just at noon that tho chil
dren made for tho fonccs and went
over as swiftly as If they bad been
drilled for tho trick. Tho nurses and
guards recaptured fifty between
Tompklnsvillo and St, George. The
Stapleton police were notified and the
reserves were called out.
About two weeks ago the chlldfeu
reached Now York from San Frpn
claco. The Red Cross. had gathered
thorn up In Russia In the midst of the
perils of tho revolution. They were
taken from Siberia to San Francisco

"I wish to express to all the Irish
people and many sympathizers with
Ireland's cause in America my deep
est appreciation of the messages and
cablegrams I have received from
them ever since my husband started
hunger striking twenty-five days
ago.
'In contrast with those among the

and who content themselves with
worda and appeals, Ireland's sym
pathizers in America havo taken
their line of action ' In an economic

of policies from English ineuranoo

"This is likely to bring- home to

Mrs. MacBwlney, speaking to the

composure and a rather defiant
backward toss of the head, declared
this morning:
"Yes, I am positive he will see his
task through of course, It is only hlf
conviction ho Is fighting for, the
Ideal that has enabled him to sur
vive. 1 am fully reconciled to hear
ing of his death.
"His battlo Is mine, for It Is ono I
took on myself when 1 married him
throo years ugo while ho was In
England under a deportation order.
Our lives since then have been main
ly spent in evading my husband's ar
rest or waiting to bo reunited
through his release from prison.
Thus, tho rolo I now am playing Is
ono to which I have long been uc
customed." MacSwlnoy, who has been tn a
critical condition in Brixton Prison,
was reported appreciably weaker
this morning, but conscious and nblt
to speak. Father Dominto, private
chaplain to MaoSwlney, said the
prisoner was suffering lntonie pain
In the left sido of his abdomen and
heart.
Regarding the statement made by
Premier Lloyd George, Indicating that
Mayor MacSwlney probably would be
released if guarantees were given that
the murders of police In Ireland would
cease, Father Domtnla said the Mayor
had no authority to mako any prom
ise for the cessation of murders In
Ireland, as he was only uu Individual
Sinn Ftiner.
"If tho Government la satisfied thai
murders aro taking place," Father
Dnmlnlc added, "wily doesn't A rap-,
