This article presents information on social conditions and different incidents that happened with common people in the U.S. In August 1918, an old woman walked into the office of a neutral steamship line. She explained that her husband had died, that she was old and lonely and wanted to go back home. The agent asked for her passport which was necessary on account of the war. The woman had no idea that the war was going on. The article also talks about photographs of famous ladies and infamous criminals, snapshots of the President receiving the freedom of half a dozen nations and pictures of less elevated conscientious objectors receiving the freedom of half a dozen jails.
