The Cossacks have individual men who do wonderful feats but they have many indifferent riders and have a bad school of riding-they stand alto gether in the stirrups. The Turcomans all ride well. The best squadron comes
 from the Akkal Tekke oasis. the scene of

 but against both Germans and Austrans | they fight magnficently.
 The Caucasus corps are composed of , Christians and Moslems. The strongest Christian element are the Georgians-the , most advanced of all Caucasus races.
 The strongest Mahommedan element are 1 the Tartars, mostly from the west coast
 of the Caspian. Georgians and Tartars

 sians, they were the best looking men l

 warriors every Georgian looks an aristo-
 crat The moujik is strong. but gnarled,
 wrinkled, flat-footed, apathetic, and his
 demeanor is servile. The Georgians are
 aristocrats. You see fair men and red
 haired men among them-as you see them
 among Poland's Jews.
 Caucasus soldiers consider themselves
 the best in the army. I saw here part O.

 overwhelmed, but it kept good order. It

 other brigade of the same corps marched in heavy order from Lodz to Jesin, a , distance of B mi:es in one day. This i' almost a record for such a large unit. Of Russia's Christian soldiers the Siber. } ians are the best. The Siberians art popular; everyone talks of their hardi l hood and courage.
