BOILING WATER AS WEAPON
earaIIel for Act Of Heroic Women
Found In Siege of Naaur by
the Tartars.

The heroic acts of the Belgian wom-
en- who defended their homes against
the German invaders, resorting to boil
ing water when their ammunition gave
out. has a historical parallel which
will no doubt be of interest at the
present time. says the Outlook
In this case the defenders were Cos
sack women and the scene of the en-
counter a small town not far from the
Sea of Azov.
In 1774, during the first Turkish
war, the town of Naaur was being be-
sieged by 5000 Tartars-a large army
In those days. All the men Of the
town had left for the war, which was
proceeding at some distance, and the
town remained undefended save for a
handful of soldiers. 1t had, however,
fhe advantage of being surrounded by
a wall. and was well supplied with am
munition. The enemy imagined that
they would only have to overcome a
very few soldiers and the town would
be theirs. Instead, to their amaze
ment, they had to face an army Of
women, young and old, arrayed in
their best red sarafans, fully armed
and eager to fight. And these WON
en- not only defended the walls OF
their town, but they sailed out and
fought valiantly in hand-to-hand skir-
mishes. They also tended enormous
fires and heated pitch and boiling wa
ter to pour on the heads Of the enc
mics when they approached the walls
of the town. The story goes that not
only did they pour water and pitch on
the foe, but the broth that was cooking
for dinner went the same way.
That was the first experience the
Cossack women had of active serv-
ice" Later 1t became tradition and
custom that In battles the women
should take their share of actual fight
ing And during the continual raids
and battles which occurred they be-
came expert soldiers, standing side by
side with old warriors and often help
ing with less usual weapons, such as
scythes and pitchforks.
The Cossack woman of today has
retained her traditions, and she is not
only independent and generally eff
cient, but she is also often an excel
lent shot, and is quite capable of de-
Tending her village if necessary as
fiercely as her ancestress.

HOPPE BREAKS 18.2
BALKLINE RECORD
Champion BiIIiardist Has Unfins
ished Run of 30S in Prac=
tice Match.

Willie Hoppe, who is preparing for
his championship match with Mel
bourne Inman, the champion at Eng
fish billiards, accounted a high run IN
practice at 1872 balk line in New York
yesterday that surprised those VINO
saw the performance. The balk line
champion ran 30S in a game with Syl-
Vester Levy. His record run in
regular tournament match is 301.
The run of sos was an unfinished
one, and the experts who saw the
practice match said the champion
had the worries in such good posi-
ton when he stopped that he prob
ably could have run hundred or
more points. Hoppe made the big run
on bet. Levy told the champion ne
couldn't beat his old tournament rec
ord of 307, and bet on the proposition
Hoppe took him up.
The champion got the balls rolling
we'll for him and carried them up ana
down the rail for point after point
When he clicked off the point thar
brought his total up to 30S, Hoppe un
screwed his cue and went out Tor
lunch. He will practice again today
His work so far has pleased ms
friends, who predict he will beat In
man at the English game as well as
at the balk line style, when they start
their match September 2S.
