This is one of the true things. The
Germans cut off the hands Of the Royal
Army medical men, who wear a large
red cross on their arms and are non

carry arms OF any description.
There is a man here In the Hospital

Peasants, Inspired by Spir-

War as Crusade - Reli-
gious Influence Important
Factor.
pErRnGRAn- snnt. M.

Acting under orders from the Holy
synod Of Fetrograd. the entire priesthood
OF Russia for weeks before the war broke
devoted almost their sole attention toward
stimulating zeal for war. The peasants,
II must he remembered. are very largely
under tho influence OF their spiritual ad-
viscrs
Germany has been held up to execration
as the sworn foe of the Orthodox Church.
and this feeling has gained as eager ad-
hercnts OF war the common soldiers and
the peasant classes The Slavic ideal
has added to the supporters OF the Gov
ernment In its warlke attitude the
middle and better educated classes.
These two things. more than any
thing else, are what have united Rus
sian and ended at least temporarily. the
threatened internal strife. Evcdy body of
marching Russian troops is preceded by
priest OF the Orthodox Church, who,
with his flowing beard and long, black
garment. is striking enough figure. The
priest carries cross, or is attended by
cross-bearer. who bears the burden OF
the holy image for him. The military
bands play sacred music alternately with
the barharic march music that suits these
warriors OF Tartar blood
1t is not merely war: II is holy cru-
sade on which the soldiers of Russia feel
that they are engaged In the camps
and places of bivouac. in the forts Of the
fortified towns, wherever troops are as
sembled or moving, the religious element
is very much in evidence. The priest
plays as important a part as the officer
In the preparatory stages at least, of the
campaign. Nor will the ma iority If the
priests he content to confine their ad-
ministrations to the preparations for war.
Many go right into the fighting lines to
spur on and encourage their spiritual
iiocks and to offer the dying the last con-
ISOLATION OF religion on tho battlefield.
These priests in Russia are of the peo-
pie, and they feel with the men in the
ranks to degree astonishing to Western
observers Altogether. an impressive
spectacle-this Russia under arms They
do not look like barbarians, these soldiers
or the Car; they are mostly simple

ardor, which will turn them into fanatical
