Rotterdam.-There have just cross.
ed the Belgian frontier behind Ger
man lines and come into Holland, six
British soldiers. These men were at
Mons, in the tragic days Of August,
and were cut off from their regiment
in the great retreat. They crept
through the encircling Germans, and,
for nine months, have been fugitives
IN France and Belgium, living in fields
and dugouts. They have passed
through experiences probably with
out parallel, playing, through all these
nine months, game of hide and seek,
to have lost which would have meant
summary execution.

of the adventures:
1T was on August rs that the Ger.

little lot Of odd men were collected,
and went into one trench. The Ger.

TAKES. WAR LIGHTLY
Russia Shows Little Evidence Of
Great Conflict.
Determination to Win and Break Ger.
man Militarism Is the Spirit Of the
Cars People-No End to
=, His Armies.
By SLOAN GORDON.

Correspondent of the Chicago News.
Petrograd, Russia.-How the great
war has drained the human reservoirs
Of France-how the boulevards Of
Paris are manless wastes; how the call
to arms has taken male Germans from
the farms and the villages and the
cities; how rare are men of fighting
age upon the streets of Budapest and
Vienna, and how, even in London,
there is noted marked falling OF
in the number of visible male beings
all these evidences of the effects of
international blood letting have been
set forth in countless columns In the
newspapers of America for months.
That the stories are true of those
German and Austrian and French and
even British centers there can be no
reasonable ground for doubt-the nu->
merous authorities attest their accu-
racy. But it may be set down that
this is not true of Petrograd. To all
outward appearances in this war cap
ital there is no war. There are evil
dences here and there Of great mill
tary activity. There are daily drills
upon the public squares and there are
Red Cross signs in great profusion.
But Of men, or, rather, the absence Of
men-there is no such thing.
Great, mysterious, brooding Russia
the objectionable Russia-goes
about her daily ways with a noncha,
lance that is battling to the western
mind. Her streets are crowded-the
streets Of oetrograd and Of Moscow
and even Of Warsaw, where the fight.
ing lines are but a few miles distant.
Tens of thousands, literal hordes Of
men Of all ages tostle and crowd along
the famous Nevsky Prospekt from
morning until night and far into the
night. The hotel Hobbies are damned
with men and women In furs and
finery.
rs it. always like this?" exclaimed
an American who has spent many
years in Petrograd and other parts Of
Russia, in response to inquiry. well,
just about. wouldn't know there was
war going on If it weren't for the
newspapers. ~
Russia" he continued, rs going
about this war business with an air
of confidence that have never seen
before. 1t is not quite the same con.
fidence that your typical Britisher dis
plays, the sort we always associate
with the English and which has been
variously classed as bullheadedness,
arrogance, egotism and plain nerve.
1t is none Of these with Russia. 1t
is merely concrete national example
