Dinant Since Wiped Out.
Dinant, an ancient town, lies on the
right bank of the River Meuse. in the
Province of Namur, and is connected
to the left bank by a long bridge
on which are the station and suburb
of ST. Medard. Rising abruptly. and
projecting over the river, is the cliff
of Bouvignes, on which stands the
famous old citadel, once as strong as
any fortress built, but now dismantled
and chief attraction to tourists and
sight-seers. The citadel is 800 feet mp
the clff. Half way up this sheer.
rocky cliff is the grotto of Montfat.

DHIS is the war hymn of the Cos
sack, the man who fights for the
land OF the Bear for the pure
- love of lighting.
Once an Independent nation, these
men even today have special privileges
under Russian rule, and in return for
these privileges they bring their
own horses from away over In
the Caucasus and serve the Gear
without pay.
The Cossack IS best known to the
American as fearless horseman, who
wild West shows and circuses where
he outstrips even the cowboy in dare
deviI stunts on horseback.
A Serious Soldier,
In Russia the Cossack is very DIFF
ferent, for he is n serious soldier who
lights the enemies OF the Gar with a
savagery and endurance which makes
him one OF the most remarkable war
riors In the world. OF strong, rug
which would Kill the soldiers OF other
nations. Besides this qualification
their enthusiasm In fighting Is almost
fanatical, and although they may have
received their death wound they re-
fuse to give up while they have
strength enough. to WELD dagger.
Refuse To Give Up.
This characteristic was shown In
one of the recent battles between Rus
STA and Germany when a sCossack
killed eleven Germans in hand to hand
fights before he gave up. Even Their
heFwas not seriously wounded, and Is
likely to be back in the fray in a few
weeks.
They are a strange race of men,
these Cossacks. and their history Ii In
tsresting. Away back in the fifteenth
century the renegades from Muscovy
and Migrants o. every description
formed themselves into cossacl<s or
robber communities. AS early as 1882
they were lighters of note. and some
time during that year they attacked
the Tartars and the Turks and cap
tured the Turkish fortress of Azof.
During the reign Of Peter the Great
the Cossacks were powerful and
