Russian Children Strike At Fort Wadsworth Amid Mass Repatriation
A chaotic incident at Fort Wadsworth Staten Island involved nearly a thousand Russian children being transported by the American Red Cross to western Russia. About 960 children reportedly mutinied, breached fences, and fled in multiple directions, with armed guards pursuing. The revolt appears linked to Bolshevik influence, with 25 youths eventually recaptured near St George and Sapieron while others escaped. The episode follows their arrival from San Francisco aboard a Japanese steamer, and a string of disquieting reports from the custody zone.
