Transcriber's note:
Minor typographical and punctuation errors have been corrected
without note. Irregularities and inconsistencies in the text have
been retained as printed.
The illustrations have been moved so that they do not break up
paragraphs, thus the page number of the illustration might not match
the page number in the List of Illustrations. In the list of
illustrations: referring to page 201 - "Sunday Group of Roumanian
Street Workers". "Street" changed to "Steel".
The cover for the eBook version of this book was created by the
transcriber and is placed in the public domain.
