Wounded Soldiers Spent Many Days
on the Battlefield.
STUCK BY COMRADE TO The LAST
The Heroism and Modesty Is Painted
in Glowing coIors of These Two
Men BY the Russian Army-Endur-
ed Many Hardships.

Mukden, Dec. 17.-An interesting
army order has been issued calling at
tention to the exceptional heroism,
self-sacrifice and devotion of two COM
rades, wounded infantry, Harzamat-
off and Ischenko, who with a dozen
other wounded men lay for A days
in abandoned trenches between the
Russian and Japanese lines, suffer
ing from the bitter cold and the lack
of food. Harzamatoff, who was only
slightly wounded, assisted the others
into the trenches, took coats from the
dead to cover them, bound their
wounds and dug WELL Japanese
took away the coats and filled in the
well. Harzamatoff again got the coats
reopened the well and secured a lit
tie dry bread and rice from dead Rus
slams and Japanese. The men also
were compelled to eat raw millet.
Japanese made several visits to the
trenches but paid no attention to the
wounded and rendered no assistance.
The Russians feigned dead, fearing to
fall into the hands of the Japanese.
The sufferers frequently attempted to
crawl back to the Russian lines, but
were compelled by weakness and the
pain of their wounds as well as the
steady firing to abandon the attempt.
Finally, when only three men were
left alive, three Japanese came, one
of them accidentally stepped on the
leg of a soldier named Matvei, who
groaned aloud from pain. Finding
him alive the Japanese dragged him
away from his comrades, who were
too weak to help him, despite his de-
spairing entreaties. One of the Jap
anese kicked Ischenko in the side, but
left him for dead. Harzamatoff and
Ischenko finally resolved to make
last desperate effort the next night to
creep back to the Russian lines, which
were one hundred PAGES distant, and
after dragging their bodies slowly and
painfully a portion of the distance
they were observed by Russian SEN
try and met with voleys from Russian
rifles, forcing them to lie still in the
millet until the firing ceased, when
they finally succeeded in reaching the
lines where they were cared for, fed
and sent to the hospital train.
The army order paints the sublime
heroism and modesty of these two
men in glowing colors, and especially
that of Harzamatoff, who being but
slightly wounded, could have joined
the Russian troops sooner, but pre-
ferred to remain with his comrades.
His. regiment" the orler says,
should be proud to have such man
in its ranks"
