THE WARRIOR WOMAN IN
PRESENT GREAT STRUGGLE

Despite the suffragettes, the world
has persisted in thinking that certain
professions belong exclusively to the
sterner sex, and of these the career
of arms is regarded as peculiarly the
! business of man. Tales of women who
have won honor by their prowess in
battle are not, however, rare, and they
range from the Greek legends of the
Amazons to such authentic cases as
those of Joan of Arc in France and
Molly Stark and Moll Pitcher in our
own country. This present war, says
the London Graphic is proving that
the handling of a rifle is not neces,
sarily and exclusively a male accom-
plishment," and continues:
Russian Female Fighters
IN Russia there are no fewer than
400 women bearing arms, the majori-
ty of them finding a place in the 81
berian regiments. The sex Of fifty
has been revealed by death or wounds.
This number is quite remarkable when
one considers the obstacles to be sur
mounted in eluding or circumventing
the recruiting officials. For even in
Russia women are not supposed TO be
soldiers. one can but feel that the
passion OF the Russian women to fight
side by side with their men, is not
only patriotic, but symptomatic of a
fine sense of cOmradeship.

readiness to enforce it by exercise of
police power.
Since the epidemic began spreading
and the fight against it has been or
ganized, two children have recovered
from a mild form of the disease.
Mrs. Soelig has received tie first
dose of anti-toxin serum Friday and
yesterday another dose was admin
istered to her. DR.. WescOat reports
that she is doing well.
The anti-toxin serum that has been
administered to the other cases vir-
tually has been responsible for the low
death rate since the epidemic started
Most of the children are holding their
own and have excellent chances for re-
covery.
The diphtheria anti-tOxin serum that
is being administered, is now regarded
virtually as a specific against diph-
liberia. 1t is administered in doses diff
fering in size for different phases of
the disease.
A dose of what is known as 1000
units is administered as thorough
immunizer. The serum is virtually a
vaccine against the disease. 1t is pre-
pared in a hypodermic needle by
means of which it is injected into the
veins.
As a curative dose for case that
has gone not more than one day, 1000
units may be sufficient and a case two
days old requires 5000. In severe cases
as much as 10000 to 10000 units have
been injected and there are cases on
record where a total dosage of 100000
was used to effect a cure. One case
required 285, 200 units dosage.
The serum is made by using the
blood of a horse that has been inocu
lated with the disease germ, after he
has been found to be in pink of condi-
ton physically
This blood is combined with an
anesthetic syrup to form the anti
toxin serum.
Symptoms of diphtheria are an in
famed throat and the appearance of
ash colored spots in the throat.
At Oran, the physicians believe pos
sibly someone acting as a carrier for
the disease came to the town from the

dan, assistant superintendent of the
Frisco, was struck by a large pole,
which had held the balloon in place
while it was being filled with gas, and
fractured his left arm.
The pole toppled over as the bag
arose from the ground and knocked
down before he realized that he was in
danger. The heavy wood was removed
from his body and he was hurried to a
physicians office, where it was learn
ed that he had suffered a serious frac-
ture of the arm.
This was the only accident reported
to the police, although there was a
crowd estimated at 5000 persons in
attendance, and more than 200 auto
mobiles, according to Claude Wylie
vice president of the Labor Day cele-
bration, reached the city from many
sections of Southeast Missouri.
A large crowd from Cape Girardeau
spent the day in Chaffee, some going
on the special Frisco train and others
going down by auto, horseback and
buggy.
The attendance was larger than last
year and the program was better. Nc
disturbances were reported, Mr.. Wylie
informed The Tribune shortly after
last midnight.

OTTO KOCHTITzKY JR
TO Wed ST. LOUSAN
Son of Well Known Drainage
Man Will Marry Miss
Morse Oct. 6.

A romance that probaly had its be-
ginning when Otto Kochttzky Jr. and
Miss Julia Morse, of ST. Louis. were
students at Washington University in
St. Louis. will eliminate this fall with
the couples marriage at the home of
the brides parents in kirkwood. No.,
it was learned yesterday.
The engagement of the couple has
existed for several weeks and was an
nounced to their intimate friends sub
rosa some time ago at a dinner party
given by one of their friends in the
Cape. Several of the couples friends
were present when they took them in
to their secret.
The date for the wedding remained
unset for some time, and those who
learned of the engagement kept extra
ordinary faith with the couple.
However. on the departure of Miss
Morse for St. Louis the other day,
friends have learned that the date for
the wedding has been set for October
6. Miss Morse, after a trip this sum-
mer in the North and West, has spent
several weeks visiting her aunt. Mrs.
Robert L. Wilson, of Broadway and
Fountain street.
Her parents at present are living in
St. Louis, and on her return home,
they expect to take up a residence in
KirkwOOd, a residential suburb of ST.
Louis. The preparations for the we'd
ding then will be made.
1t is understood that the wedding
will be a quiet home affair with rela-
tives and few of the couples closest
friends present.
Young Kochtitzky is a son of Otto
Kochtitzky, the chief engineer for the
Little River Drainage Co., who laid
out much of the drainage work that is
being done in Southeast Missouri. The
son now is a superintendent of two
dredging machines in Southeast Mis-
souri, and Northern Arkansas for his
father
Miss Morse formerly resided in the
Cape. Five years ago her father was
transferred to St. Louis. The couple
have known each other for several
years.
They attended Washington Univer-
sity together, where both were well
known in the society set there. Young
Kochtitzky is a member of the Beta
Thepa Pi fraternity at Washington
University and Miss Morse is a mem
Der of the ri Phi sorority.
Kochtitzky first attended Westmin.
ster College in Fulton, Mo-, and sub
sequentIy went to Washington Univer.
sity where he was graduated in the
college about two years ago. Since
then he has been working with his
father, and through Miss Morse's
visits to her relatives in the Cape the
couple have been together q great

SEAS DEAD S|LENCES
PRAYER ON STEAMER
Liner St. PauI's Memorial Serv-
ice Ended BY Sighting Of
Lusitania's Victims.

NEW YORK, May 17.-Thomas Kin
sey, the veteran purser OF the Ameri-
can liner st. Paul. was conducting a
religious service in the main dining sa-
loon on Sunday morning of last week
when a man came in from the deok and
announced quietly that some of the
Lusitunias dead were drifting ahead
Off the starboard bow.
Kinsey had about concluded the
service when the vessel poked her nose
into a turbulent mass Of wreckage
from the lost Cunarder. A prayer had
been offered for the victims and the
worehipers had been meditating on
the tragedy when gruesome evidence
of the Germans handiwork came drift
ing by.
In silence the passengers filed out
of tho saloon and. lining the rail.
peered into the sea, some with binocu-
lars and others merely screening their
eyes from the light with their hands.
Capt. F. NJ. Passow. master Of the
st. Paul. was the first to sight the
human fiotsam coming toward him and
he put the liner over a trife to avoid
crashing through It, He said he passed
the first of the drift at 1890 o'clock
a. m. Fragments Of the wreckage were
IN evidence for nearly an hour.
"Oh, my God. isn't that terrtbler'
cried one woman as she clutched ten
aciously at her young son. who sat
upon the rail.
Not forty feet away. off the star
board bow. pitched raft that hoisted
clear of the sea at intervals the body OF
a half-clothed woman of perhaps forty.
Her dark hair. long and plentiful. COW
cred her face at times. while every now
and then a wave broke over her, throw
ing her hair over her shoulders like a
shawl. Her right arm, bare to the
shoulder and bent. held firmly to the
edge Of the raft
Persons who looked at her through
the glass thought they could see lash
ings around her shoulder. but Captain
Passow. who had observed the body
closely, said the woman was held there
merely by the grip she had taken while
alive. and that this was further set
by death.
On her bosom. high up near her
years old. Her left arm held the little
tigure in vice-like grip which even the
power OF the waves had been unable to
break FOR two days.
Occasionally the raft would dip under
the sea. but as 1t rose mother and
child came up with 1t. The scene did
not last long, for the St. Paul was
mother and her babe were soon lost
in the hazy wake Of the liner.
Several of the passengers thought 1,
a crime to let these two bodies drop
away, but the st. Paul had no orders to
pick up bodies and no means on board
Of preserving them.
When the st. Paul came into quar-
ant!ne yesterday 1t was reported tina,
she had passed by fourteen bodies. but
seven, 1t was said. was nearer correct
Captain Passow said he had seen on,
child. but 1t was far away.
