against me, I should gladly have told
him everything. even at the risk of
making myself ridiculous in his eyes.
But hrs mind was so evidently made

WOMAN SERVED AS SOLDIER.
Remarkable Story Of Russian Girl.
Won Insignia Of Honor.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
ST. PETERSBURG. June 1O-An interest
Ing story of a woman soldier is told In the
unusually dull official military journal
Russky Invalid. A girl named Xenia Krit-
skaya. moved by intense patriotism, dis
guised herself as a man and. leaving her
native province of Podolia. journeyed to
the far east under an assumed name to
serve as volunteer against the Japanese
When her request to be conveyed together
with the troops from Chelabinsk to Hardin
was refused she contrived under enormous
difficulties to make the journey, and finally
enrolled in the mounted troops.
Neither the officers nor the privates sus-
pected the sex of the intrepid warrior dur
Ing her two and one-half months service
Taking an active part IN an engagement
with the Chunchuses, she carried two
wounded comrades out of the range Of fire,
dressed their wounds and defended them
until the end of the skirmish. when she
was herself wounded. The commander of
the Manchurian army conferred upon her
the insignia of the Military Order of the
Fourth Degree.
The truth, however, leaked out the ro-
mantle story was narrated to the emperor,
and the fact emphasized that the military
order cannot be worn by a woman but the
emperor taking into consideration Mile
hrltskaya's bravery and patriotism, has
commanded her to retain the order

SENSATION IN BERLIN.
American Dancer and His Wife In
the Limelight

Special Cablegram to The Star
BERLIN, June 1O.-Fred Duncan the
brother of Isadora Duncan. the Americar
dancer and his wife, are causing a sensa.
ton in Berlin by q crusade In favor of the
Simple life" They wear little and like
the monkey tribe from which humanity is
said to have descended they eat only nuts
and fruit.
They demonstrate their views upon the
subject by publicly paradIng the streets of
the capital in the scantiest Of clothing
Duncan wears only coarse sheet, which,
passing under his left shoulder and beneath
his right arm, leaves his right shoulder and
entire right arm, side. chest and back ex-
posed. The sheet reaches to the knees,
leaving the legs and the feet bare. A pair
of sandals completes the costume.
Duncan, who has flowing locks half way
down his back and a long bushy beard re-
sembles rather wild man of Borneo than
the apostle of nobler mode of life.
Mrs. Duncans costume is a trif1e more In
accordance with propriety. Her apparel
looks like a shawl with many folds. The
neck and right shoulder are bare and the
garment reaches almost to the ankles. She
too, wears sandals.

RIOT OVER WOMAN PREACHER
Remarkable Demonstration in Berlin
Escaped the Mob.
pecial Cablegram to The Star

Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN, June 1O.-A woman preacher
who has been troubling Berlin narrowly
escaped a mobbing the other night. The
woman, who is the Rev. Gertrud Won Pet
zold of Leicester, had a lively reception,
though she delivered theological dis
course in one of the largest halls Of the
capital
Part Of the audience became wildly ex-
cited, and when the preacher sat down an
anti-feminist fanatic mounted the rostrum
and denounced her as the enemy of the
Christian Church. He shouted: "Shamd,
that woman is allowed to preach the
gospel from the pulpit The devil take
Christianity Of this kind"
A woman in the audience was then at
tackled with hysteria and shouted that the
woman preacher was ant-Christ. There
was a vast deal Of hooting and a general
uproar, in which the lives of many inno-
cent persons were imperiled. Finally the
police arrived and succeeded in suppress
ing the rioting.

Along Natural Lines.

The physiological rapsutics-treat-
ment along natural lines-according TO the
belief of the Seventh Day Adventists, offers
the most successful means of combating
disease. For the past three years the Iowa
Sanitariums Nos. 1 and Iowa circle, have
been in operation, during the construction
of the main building at Takoma Park. These
institutions combine, it is said, means of
educating the sick back to health. Every
convenience is provided, including telephone
connection with the city in every room, ele-
vator, and beautifully furnished guest
chambers. Out-of-door attractions are fur
nished to guests.
The board of trustees has leased a hum
dred-acre farm adjoining the vast acreage
property owned by the Adventists. where
dairy farm will be conducted and vegetables
grown for the patients. The program of
exercises is now being prepared, and large
attendance is expected The grounds are
being beautifully arranged for the EVENT.
The cost of the building and its furnish
