WOMAN CAPTURES
FUGITIVE RUSSIANS

BERLIN. Sept. 30.-The hundreds
Of thousands Of Russian prisoners en-
ployed AZ farm laborers In Germany
are as rule very content with their
lot and many Of them declare that
they do not like to return to Russia
after the war. Although they are al
most unguarded they seldom try to
escape.
Near Insterburg recently three OF
sixty prisoners who were working on
a large farm disappeared and they
could not be found by the two land
sturmers">who acted as guards. The
fugitives were finally discovered in a
cornfield by Mrs. Hedwig Rosner, the
wife Of q gamekeeper.
Instead OF giving an alarm the reso.
lutte woman armed herself with one OF
the guns of her husband and, going
to the fields, ordered the Russians to
surrender When the fugitives hest.
tated she fired few shots to scare
them. Then they threw up their
hands.
As the Russians were half starved
the brave woman took them to her
house. where she fed them before she
transported them back to the farm
from which they had escaped.
