At the end of the week they asked for permission to go to Warsaw. As Lodz was without food and fuel the Germans tried to get rid of as many civilians as possible, and they gave the spies permits. They warned them that they would probably be shot when they approached the Russian lines For this contingency the women had a prearranged code of signals. They got to the Russian lines, and presented Gen eral Ewert with facts as to the German strength, the number of guns in Lodz, the names of the German generals and other valuable facts.
 Some women warriors went to Galicia, intending to carry on a Russophile pro- paganda among the Poles. Finding this useless they joined guerilla bands and fought. The raider Filimonoff the Cos sack de Wet, had in his corps Maria Nvedensky, a good horsewoman and ex-. pert shot from the Kuman Maria was wounded in fight with the Austrians at Tarnow.

Women of Russia and Germany Who March and Fight and Die

Will the ultimate battle of the ulti-
 mate war be fought by opposing
 armies of women? No longer IS the
 weaker sex content to stop it home
 while men do battle for klng and
 country. In the. armies of Germany
 and of Russia strons-armed and stron-
 nerved women are battling side by side
 with the men.
 Warsaw, February S.-Seven wounded Germans of female sex, scared with bull Jet and shrapnel burned and disfigured, lie in Warsaw Evangelical hospital and fE the Transport hospital at Praga. Frieda Bergeat the youngest, has two bullets in her. The seven are Warsaw's wonoer Everyone knows that Russian women, with or without official sanction, gre fighting. But no one believed that dcmesticated Germans (of the kaiser's Kinder, kuohe and Kirche seX) would so unsex themselves. It is beyond doubt that German women are lighting, and that there are girls in the Austrian army. any many more with the Austrian gueri- las on the Carpathlan slopss. Of the nurses thousands are exposing themselves tc as great a risk as do soldiers. Eighty women have received from Czar Nicholas the St Georges cross. which is given ony for valor
 Fighting women are increasing, not de- creasing. This means prolongation ot the war. The male combatants VOW that they will wear one another out: that tho war will be lost by the side which haf 10 warriors left With endless womei: soldiers. this day will long be postponed.

 1910 one yearling sold for S16o00 and another for s19,000. During that same y ear one of Diamond Jubilees colts brought S15,000 and another $13,000.
 Within q period of IF years the average price of yearlings at these sales has steadily risen. In 1903 it was $500, While since then it has risen to S3450 Der colt.

Mrs. Erlzes gave the alarm to neighbors, but be- fore aid came the thief had made his escape.
 Mrs ErISes left her home early in the morning and met her sister, Mrs. Mary Lehr of Romona, the two hay ing planned to take luncheon at one of the leading cafes. They were on their way to the restaurant when Mrs. Erkes suddenly became nervous. She declared she did not know what was the matter. but she felt that something was worng at home. Despite the pro tests Of her sister she summoned taxicab and departed.
 Mrs. Erkes was soon convinced that her premonition was true. Arriving home sh found . hole in the plate glass of the front door and inside she saw a burglar at work.

 In the fight at Mariampol. Later she
 was overwhelmed with bricks from a flown up building, and was s.ushcd q and wounded. She got fever and was

 that the terrible thing in war is not being killed but. killing. While she was being fired at she felt no fear. Even when comrades fell, she was calm. and charge, it suddenly dawned on her that she might have to kill someone and she nearly fainted. She had 'ften fired at the foe from a distance, but she did not feel that she was killing anyone. She aimed straight. but she comforted herself with the thought that only one bullet in a thousand hits Now she knew that if she thrust her bayonet into German, she would re- member the appalling fact all her life. So she wanted to run away After Love recovered from her wounds, she swore that she would not return to the front Then she read that another gil had been decorated. Pride and am hitiOn seized her, and now she is again fighting.
 Russian women in Poland, with some Polish women who sympathizc. have started corps of scouts and spies. This began with the Polish Women's Unity league in Warsaw. The 200 me..lbers began to practice gymnastics and mill tagy drill on the Mokotsky field. At first the drill was without arms, the aim being to attain physical fitness, so as to give general help to Warsaw in case of a siege. Next the women took to mems clothes: and next to Il un;- form of their own. When the invaders in. November retired to the Prussian frontier, the women spread out ili tn. evacuated towns, and rendered mis- ceilanecus services to Grand Duke Nicholas army.
 On the reinvasion the women changed their uniforms for female dress, and act ed as scouts and spies. It was q woman Who first brought the news of. the Ger. man attack on the left Vistula bank. The Germans surprised the village of Brest; cut the telegraph and telephone wires, and took the Russian outpost and gen darmes prisoners. A woman, Mile. Micl- pomiecz, escaped from the town, and brought to the headquarters of the army at Wlowlawzk the news of the German raid. This helped the commander to de- lay the invaders march. At Wlowlawzk was killed Manya Zabile sky. member of the scout corps. When General Won Mackensen occupied Lodx the women scouts changed back into women's

times with their sex known, sometimes in disguise. Most commanders make 10 objection if the women soldiers can fight and march. Sokhomlinoff's visit OTIS complained of the indefinite post tion of the women warriors. They asked for recognition. The war min ister refused. He Is against women fighters. If I recognize them," he said, there will be 100000 more. That would be to the detriment of the army and it would be a public scandal. Be- sides, the holy synod condemns It. l cannot prevent some women fighting, fut l shan't encourage it, and ! shall sive orders that every woman tliscov- cred in the ranks shall be sent to her home"
 Irena Treslloff, who is interested in the question. says that $50 women are fighting. That is about one in 10000 of Russia's war strength Most gre in south Poland and Galicia. They got into the army by personation. When
 men reservists could not respond to the call owing to sickness. absence or other reasons, their wives--more often their sisters-took their places. Russia mobilizes slowly, so the women had days, sometimes weeks, to learn how to hold rifles. When they joined their Units, the Sex of many was discovered, and some were sent back. Others es- caped detection: and some, though de- tocted. were allowed to remain in the army.
 Nearly all these women come from towns. They belong either to the we'll educated, emancipated class, or to the smaller burgher class known us 'miest- chanye. Few peasant women serve The peasant woman does not understand war She usually marries very young and has many children Three-quarters of the women warriors are unmarried or child less. In the ranks is supposed to be Princess Nadezhda Anlba aschidze. a Geor- sian girl of rank, who has disappeared from her home. Another aristocrat girl soldier is Vera Savyschin. a niece of the late Finance Minister Bunge. She accom- panied Samsonoff's army to East Prus- sia. and with the rest of her unit. the Sixth Army corps. fell into captivity.
 Women who have been through battles and have fought well arc seldom sent back when their sex is discovered. The trouble is to get the ignorant peasant soldiers to respect them and take them seriously. The soldiers call them derisive- ly "Tchukhonlsi." This means Finnish wonicn.' There is moujik superstition that all Finnish women arc Amaxons. The officers respect women soldiers. Very rarely does a woman show cowardice. dis obedience or dishonesty.

When two gauchos have a dispute they sometimes settle it with their knives; and in olden times it was customary for them to fight with their left legs tied together, each man kneel- ing upon the right knee, and facing the other. Over one arm of each combatant was blanket, used as guard, and in the other was his knife. At the drop Of the handkerchief the two men began to stab at each other. and they continued until one was mortal1y wounded. Today the typical gaucho is changing. He IS gradually becoming civilized, and, as the country becomes more and more settled, he will be thing of the past.

force which retreated on the Miazza on December ' was hard pressed; and il was a woman who helped it out. Her regiment got into a difficult position in marsh. It was raSed by German ma- chine gun fire and by a hurricane of converging shells from an are of field guns One company got isolated. Its business was to hold a causeway over the marsh. When it had lost 40 men out of a total hundred, it showed signs of giving way. Matthew Drapounoff.'' a young, beardless soldier, removed the reg mental flag from its broken staff and raised it aloft on his bayonet. A bullet went through Matthew's hand. The en- couraged Russians held out. In the field hospital Matthew Drapounoff was discov- cred to be Sophie Draounoff. When So- phie recovered she returned to the front She continues to be registered as Mat thew" but the regiment knows her story.
 Most women warriors are young. There are some veterans. Toughest Is veteran from the Manchurian war, Olga Ellviser, a Lithuanian. When war with Japan broke out Olga was serving on horse breeding farm She was known to the local military for hard-riding. hard-swear ing. hard-drinking. She joined tine Third Cssuri Cossack regiment. and she fought against the Japs under Rennenkampf. Olga took part in raids against the Jap rear; she fought the savage Hunghusi bandits and she has a big sabre scar on her cheek. She was given the third class Of the St. George When the war ended she retired. When the new war broke out she was over 40. She rejoined her regiment, which was part of the army of Wilma. Rennenkampt, like olga, a swear ing spirit was fin command. At Wirbal- len on the frontier he recognized Olga. This was the greeting
 Well, Olga you -; come to fight the -Schwabs?'
 "Yes, general; to break their-skulls. ss l broke the-skulls of the--Japs!"
 olga was with the first sotnia of Cos sacks which entered the East Prussian town of Insterburg. She took part in the battle of the 10th of September. whicl; ended Rennenkampf's invasion of East Prussian. and her Cossack unit was the last to leave German territoy. Her ex- ploits since then are unknown.
 Back to the front in December went I-'nbov Cglicki. She was present in six battles. ''Liubov.' means Love" Love is sood-looking, black-eyed, slightly nloustached. Most women warriors have slight moustaches; that enables them to pass as youths.

When the Galician Poles started "Sokol' bands to fight against Russia many Pol ish women joined. Some fell into Russian hands. As they wore no uniform, and were caught sniping Russian posts, they were liable to be shot. The Russian wom- en fighters begged Chat they be spared. They tried to convert them to Russophll- ism; promising that in case of success they would release them to spread the Russophile faith among the population. The Galician women proved obdurate. They were sent as prisoners to Ivangorod. High up in the Carpathians, at the Uzsok Pass, Russian woman fighter was killed The UzsolS Pass is the most importan. gate of entry into Hungary, and the Rus sians raided it in September. With them was @ Siberian girl fighter. During the retreat she was wounded. She begged to be left behind. The soldiers who had all along suspected her sex refused to allow this She died on the way.
 Siberia produces most women fighters Only from Siberia come girl fighters of peasant class. Women there are freer, more independent than i'll Europe. The tough, inured women of Jakutsk, mostly descendants of criminals and exiles, have begged in vain for permission to join the army. They complain that the girls and the children have work during the win ter. Now they are put to guard bridges and to help conveys. Every Siberian rail. way bridge has two armed guards, and every verst of the railway has a guard who lives beside the line in yellow hut Three thousand guards have been called up as reservists. Rifles have been given to their wives and daughters, and now these do the work. An officer wnn travelled from Siberia tells me that both the guards on the Volga bridge at Samnfa are women. On the morning his train passed, one fired at man who did not answer her challenge, and shot him through the head.
