RUSSIA'S WAR HEROES
FORCED TOGO BEGGING
Veterans Trial Reveals Pitiful
Condition of Men Who Won
Distinction in Field.
Special Correspondence o. The sus.

ST. PETERSBURG. April "a pitful
story of a countrys ingratitude was told
in the District Court here this week when
a volunteer soldier named Plmenoff. who
received tho highest order OF the ST.
Georges Cross, was brought up for trial
on the charge OF spreading knowingly
false statements calculated to excite en-
nifty toward the Government"
The prisoner received five wounds dur
ing the japanese war seven times H. had
his horse shot under him, and he was
one OF the handful OF Russian survivors
of the Homeric fight on Eagles Nest.
His only son was killed In battle, and
when Pinenoir returned from the front
he found himself without means of sub
sistencc.
Many other MANNED "kn!ghts OF st.
George were in the same plight and in
! order to draw attention to their destitute
state Pimenoff wrote q pamphlet called
From the Diary OF AN Arthurian," in
which he described how they were thrown
onto the streets and forced To beg for
food. which. he said. was disgrace TO
the Russian uniform.
Considering the pity and indignation
! excited in st. Petersburg and other cities
by the appearance of these starving Grip
pies, It is hardly surprising that Pine
non has been acquitted.
Nearly all the witnesses for the defence
had Won in battle the distinction for
valor" Their evidence was az pathetic
as their appearance. one poor fellow was
led into court by little girl. lie was
completely blind and had an artificial
throat. his utterance being almost incom-
prehensble. The only pension ne re-
( ceived was one OF s75 n year.
Another witness twice wounded at
/ Port Arthur who has three children, OF
( whom two are now in hospital. related
/ that the War Ministry gave him only 81
| annually, and therefore he was Obliged
! to beg. \ third witness. also wounded
at Port Arthur. said that during the
! last three years he had received in AL
! S.2.
/ A veteran OF the Russo-Turklsh war
! who participated In the storming of kars
described how he too was reduced To beg
gary. Then again there was an unpen-
stoned soldier who fought IN twenty en-
gag.ments during the Russo-Japancss
4 war and after being wounded at Port Ar
thur lay for three days and nights amons
the dead. He was recommended for tn.

take or other did not obtain 1t. H.
travelled nearly 5000 miles Ia try to get

Much Iiko Sarcasm.

The conceited visitor had talked 6 long time. and small Jamie was duly impressed with the breadth and varie ty of his knowledge. At last the talker made the sententious statement that one-half the world does not know how the other half lives. "Why don't you teach them?" was the innocent question that made the visitor blush and his other listeners struggle with scarcely suppressed chuckles.
