Stern but Popular.
Although he is a stern disciplinarian,
Gen. Dragomiroff is very popular
With the rank and file of the Russian
army, because he looks personally
after their comfort, Will never allow
them to be unjustly oppressed by their
officers, and bears the reputation of
never having thrown away amy mans
life needlessIv in time of war. Then,
too, he has, in d marked degree, that
genial, familiar manner toward the
enlisted men which is characteristic
of most prominent officers in coun-
try where a Grand Duke will call
common soldier little brother" and
offer him nip of vodka from his
flask.
A story is told of Dragomiroff
which illustrates this familiarity, and
also gives a good idea of the endur-
ance of the Russian soldier.
Am Incident of Turkish War.
When marching one morning. in
midwinter. to attack the Turks in
force near the ShiDka Pass, his di-
vision was halted by broad river,
which was only covered by thin
skin of ice, and had to be crossed by
fording. As the men had to march
and fight all day in the snow, it was
important that they should not get
their clothes wet; and Dragomiroff
accordingly ordered them to strip and
wade naked through the icy river, car
rying their clothing on their heads.

Dragomiroff, Russia's
General in Reserve
As Lord Roberts Was Sent Out to the Boer War When Butler
Failed, So Russia Will Send Dragomroff
if Kuropakin Fails.
BY CHARLES S. WILLIAMS.

t n comomnly said that Gen. Ku-
ropatkin, the commander of the Cars
armies in the Far East, is the greatest
Russian soldier Of to-day; but such is
not the feeling in Russia There is
one man in the Russian army who
stands in relation to Kuropatkin very
much as Grant stood towards Sherman
"a man whose military reputation is
higher than Kuropatkin's, and who is
even more thoroughly trusted by the
soldiers and the nation. That man is
Gen. Dragomiroff, who was a general
officer in command of a division as
long ago as the Russo Turkish War.
"Dragomiroff is our general in re-
serve" said a former officer of the
Russian army now residing in New
York. Just as Lord Roberts, Eng
lands most trusted veteran, was sent
out to the Boer war when Butler fail
ed. so Russia will send Dragomiroff
TO the Far East if Kuropatkin does
not succeed. In the meantime, he has
been recalled to St. Petersburg from
his governorship of Kieff, in order
that he may be at the right hand of
the Gar and the War Council. You
may be sure that the strategy of the

boat tied to the river bank and wanted
him to take it, but he refused to do
so, and ordered that it be used for the
wounded men, while he crossed in the
same condition as the rest of the di-
vision.
The men joked and laughed about
the experience, although they were
chilled to the bone by a cutting wind
as they put on their clothes upon the
opposite bank. After the division had
reformed. the general rode up to
them and said:
well, little brothers, how do you
feel after your bath?'
Very well, thank you, Your High
ness!" they replied-that title being
usually applied by Russian troops to
general officers.
I'VE didn't burn our feet coming
over, did we?"
mo, indeed, Your Highness!" they
grinned. And no doubt they fought
much better that day than they would
have done if he had simply given the
order to march instead of waiting a
moment to joke with them.
Paid an officer in His own Coin.
A few years ago, Dragomiroff had
occasion, as governor of Kieff, to in
spect an infantry battalion. Riding
down the line. he heard the captain
of one of the companies abusing
sergeant for not acting smartly as a
marker" He was calling him a dog,
a pig, and all the other unpleasant
names which Russian officers are far
too apt to apply to their men when
they lose their tempers.
Dragomiroff refined up his horse in
front of the captain and swore at him
steadily for two minutes, calling him
everything he had called the sergeant
and a great deal more besides, in the
hearing of his company.
The captain listened quietly for a
while, too amazed to speak, and then
drew the general aside and protested
that he ought not to speak to him in
that manner before his men, as it
would destroy authority over them.
You should have thought of that
before you abused the sergeant" said
the general Il am only giving you
a dose of the medicine you gave him.
You were doing your best to destroy
the discipline of your own company,
for he has to WELD authority in it as
we'll as you. Now you will perhaps
understand how he must have felt"
Spoke His Mind to the Gar.
1t is said that Gen. Dragomiroff.
when summoned to st. Petersburg by
the Car and ordered to state his
views regarding the campaign in the
Far East, found fault with the entire
scheme of operations, and criticized
most searchingly all the naval and
military dispositions. He even dared,
according to the rumors in court cir
Giles in st. Petersburg. to argue with
the Gar himself in the War Council
and convince him that some of his
ideas regarding the conduct of the war
were entirely wrong. This is the more
credible because Nicholas II, when
holding subordinate rank as Care
witch in the famous Preobrajens<y
regiment. was under the commend of
Gen. Dragomiroff, who largely super
vised his military education.
