American sailing delayed. Held for over a week in box cars on the Polish border, 1,200 demobilized Polish-American soldiers had a hard time waiting to get into the port of Danzig, on the Baltic sea, to sail for the U.S.A. But the arrival of the American Red Cross from Warsaw, bringing them a carload of clothing, tobacco, chocolate and extras, as send-off before sailing, took all the kinks out of their trouble. First the closing of the Kiel Canal and then a small overflow revolution in Danzig tied things up. This picture shows one of the main streets during the uprising
