All the Way From Poland!

TWO YOUNG MEN WHO TRAVELLED FROM WARSAW TO WINNIPEG . . . BRAVE WIDOWED MOTHER REALISES HER AMBITION.

SHE ship was away biggei than our house,” ex claimed John Studeny aged six years, who witi his brothel' Euggen, whc is only four, arrived it Winnipeg recently over the Canadian National Lailways, after travelling from Warsaw, the capital of Poland Their widowed mother went to Winni peg two years ago. Since then, it has

been her one aim to have her boys with her in Canada. So on October 24 they left home and sailed on the White Star liner Laurentic. “We saw all kinds of wonders,” said John. “We saw great big fish” —trying to illustrate his story by the

length of his small arms—“and -win, j birds that sat on the water.” » te j other thing that startled the bo was the way the cranes unloaded ih! freight and baggage when th e b™ docked. They could not uudersia-f] how the bundles could fly through th air. as they had never seen a cran! |in action before. Euggen pr 0,„,,; boasted of being the only one »h was not seasick, and because his w ther was sick, he promised to throw him overboard to feed the fish anrl go on to Canada alone. Q The Canadian National Railways are making a specialty of catering to j children who are travelling alone. The j same morning on which the Studenv ! boys arrived, ten-year-old Eva Sealev j arrived in Winnipeg from Seulac ! Saskatchewan. She is travelling bv

s herself to Cornwall, England, where r she will live with her grand-parent.s. e She was not the least bit afraid—in fact, she was looking forward to the 1 train ride to the boat, and the ocean - voyage on the Ascania, which carried e her to the Old Country.
