7URkOMANS EXCEL
 C0SSACK RIDERS
Men from Turkestan Prove Superior to Wild Horse
 men of the Don.

Petrograd, Feb. -:,.-The Cossack horsemen are famed in song and
 story, and justly. But Russia now
 has body of cavalry superior to the
 men of the Don. These are the Turk Omans. Many recent successes of
 Muscovite arms are to be attributed to Russia's new cavalry force The Turkomans live in Turkestan in that part of Persia known as
 Khorasan and in parts of the Cauca-
 sus and the Trans Caucasian prov inces of Russia. They were famous fighters in the time of Tamerlane and Genghis Khan. and they have not lost
 since then their fighting capacities The genius of General Skobeleff, the
 well-known white general who
 made his name during the Russian
 Turkish war, first discovered and re- vealed them to the world.
 The Turkomans are free from mli- tary service, but at the critical mo-
 ment of the present war it was thought they should enlist as volun-
 teers. They gave to the appeal of
 the Russian government a ready and
 prompt answer.
 The Turkomans spend the greater part of their life on horseback. While children of other nations begin to creep, the Turkoman's children are put on horse. These men fear neith- CT hardships nor danger. They are past masters in the art of cavalry and their display of skill on horse back is even greater than that of the Cossacks. Their cavalry is mostly composed of youths, for whom war ;s the great and only poem-their unique dream and faith. The desert, the oasis, and the steppes of the Trans Caspian provinces, together with Cau- casia, can produce 300,000 of these bold riders.
 ch-Danchenko, the famous Russian writer who is at present at the front, and has already seen this cavalry in action, writes in Rouskoie- Slavo:
 "These Turkomans. just like shad- ows, can creep up to the lines of the German rear-guard and destroy the supply columns of the enemy, thus very much the advance of the German army. You ought to see what these knights of mountains and deserts are doing here. With the ut most courage they charge and beat the German infantry notwithstanding numbers. Their charges are so sud den that it is impossible to foresee them. much less avoid them.
 For instance the German square formation showing on all sides a thick forest of bayonets would cause the Cossacks themselves to hesitate to deliver an attack. but the Turkomans are not afraid of them. They jump over the first front rows and in a mo- ment find themselves in the thick of the enemy who. taken back. are an- before they can reform their square. They come on, rushing like storm on the guns, destroying orl putting to flight the covering infan- try.
 Formerly skeptics had thought that these Turkomans were merely hordes
