    I was in the crowd representing my school, carrying an American flag. Never would have guessed that I'd end up as an American citizen.

    See the neighboring picture www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3350950037/ for another formidable woman wearing the same badge. Does anyone recognize it?

    Mrs. Gillespie and Mary Diehl were apparently policewomen in Philadelphia, assigned to work in railroad stations. 2 May 1913, Oswego Daily Times: Philadelphia Has Two Policewomen They Are Stalwart Amazons And Able to Cope with Any Males of the "Masher" Type Philadelphia, May 2--Commuters scurrying through the Broad Station today on their respective ways to the daily grind stopped, craned their necks and stood aghast at the curious spectacle of a large woman dressed in a military cut blue suit, with her hand firmly upon the shoulder of a well dressed young man, escorting him hurriedly out of the waiting room. [....] The "lady copper" was Mrs. Mary Diehl, a superbly formed 1913 Amazonian style of woman, with pleasing but stern features and a military bearing. She is on the Broad street station beat and her chief work is to protect young girls and women against the glances and advances of roysterers and mashers. [....] Philadelphia has two such policewomen. They have been on the force about four weeks. They are Mrs. Diehl and Miss L. M. Gillespie. Both are detailed at railroad stations but they have full authority to act as guardians of the peace in all sections of the city alike. They are provided with revolver, black-jack, nippers, and badge, all identical with those of other members of the Philadelphia police force. [....] Found this as a pdf online but it has a long link... search "L. M. Gillespie" and badge to find the link.

    Charles Polack was the captain of the SS Kronprinzessin Cecilie. While steaming toward Germany from America carrying some $10,000,000 in gold and $3,400,000 in silver, he received word of the outbreak of war, and headed back to the United States to avoid capture by the British Navy, and was interned at Bar Harbor, Maine. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Kronprinzessin_Cecilie I started a biography of him on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Polack

    To whom was he taking the gold? The Rothschilds?
