Empress andP Peasant WomanA the Work.

Of their gratitude, made large donation TO the
German Red Cross. A curious account is pub
lished by the "Vossische Zetung" Berlin, on Sep
TENDER 4. 1t relates to the strange behavior of
the wounded Russian prisoners when the ply
sicians approach them with scissors TO cut open
the uniform above a wound or try to make an
incision or apply bandage the Russians resist
to the utmost Of their forces Not that they are
faint hearted afraid of the operation-but they
expect to be mutated, blinded, murdered. A
Russian colonel even refused all nourshment
during thirty-sx hours for fear Of being poisoned.
Finally one of his fellow prisoners, who happened
TO be a man of education and intelligence, sue
ceeded in convincing him of his folly" The
paper adds, whimsically: what lies these poor
fools must have been told about us, to take us for
such cannibas!"
No doubt, in way, their terror of the Germans
will explain many of the Russian atrocities
because fear and ignorance always beget cruelty
Truth alone can lead the way to a Utopia Of
brotherly and neighborly love. In the meantime
we must be satisfied with the Red Cross.

In Munich the American women of that city have

Great Britain's method is little more elaoo-

with q number at the Berlin War Office. After a
battle numbers, not names, are telegraphed AMI

may be judged by the fact that after the lighting

Enthusiastically into it, In battle the cavalry horse

In the eighteenth century loo horses fell ID

proportion had fallen to 100, and In more recent
wars the ratio has been approximately liz horses

portion has been greater, as iu that of the L'gh'
Brigade, in which eighty more horses ina" "e"

WHEN THE FIELD HOSPITAL BECOMES THE
WAR HOSPITAL.

Once in the field hospital (Which, following in
tb. wake of the army is always quite a distance
from the actual battlefeld), the wounded soldiers
receive regular treatment. They remain there
until the field hospital is replaced by the war
bospital"-which change takes place automati-
callv as soon as the army proceeds, for the field
bospital follows the troops. The patients remain
where they are, while the personnel and mateHeI
about them are changing from the wandering field
bospital 10 the stationary war hospital. FROM
there the wounded eventually are sent back INTO
Germany for complete recovery On one OF the
snIcndidlv appointed city or military hospitals.
