CAMP LIFE OF RUSSIAN ARMY OFFICERS
The life OF the Russian officer as | have been
able to observe here, away from the glitter of
parades and the excitement of battles, is oc.
cupied chiefly by routine duty, tea-drinking
smoking, and card and billiard playing pro
portionately in the order named. The duty
seems hard and tedious but to some Ameri-
cans it would seem harder to drink five or six
large tmmblers of tea three or four times a
day. The "dentchiks" (official servants) do
nothing but attend to the making of tea and
their masters pipes all day. Every time the
oHlcer returns to his quarters tea must be pre-
pared and the long-stemmed pipes ready to
light not only for himself but for any number
of guests he may bring with him. The tobacco
used is always Of Turkish brands, Or at least
sold as such. The Ukraine is tobacco nro
ducing province, but the leaf cannot be en-
joyed by anybody beside the Ukraine people,
with their horse constitutions 1t would be the
height OF impudence for anybody with weak
lungs to ride in a smokng-car in this region.
even for half a-day, for rear of suff0cation. and

ukrane tobacco would be converted into a
