REGIMENT Of WOMEN
ANXIOUS To FIGHT
(By Associated Press.

KIEV, May "a. - A deputation of
women who wish to form a volunteer
legion to serve as regular soldiers in
the campaign on this front has ar
rived in this city from Gomel with
petition which they have presented to
the head of the Kiev military distict.
These momen state that they are
ready to assume all military duties
except actual engagements in battle,
and are particularly desirous Of be-
ing employed for patrol service. They
have designed a uniform similar 20

distinguished from it by leather coats
and tri-cornered hats. They hope to

CAR To CONTROL
INSURANCE COMPANIES
(By Associated Press.)

PETROGRAD, May PA project
to institute compulsory state fire in
surance is now under consideration
by the minister of the interior, and
Will be soon presented to the council
of ministers for approval. The pro-
posal was first made by the budget
committee of the Duma, which point
ed out the desirability of such meas
ure as a source of income to the gov
ernment.
According to preliminary estimates,
if this fire insurance monopoly were
undertaken by the government, it
would yield an annual income of fif-
teen million dollars. The minister of
the interior, however, is in favor Of
the passing of such measure, not
primarily because it would bring a
large revenue to the government, but
because compulsory insurance is de-
manded by the condition of the ma
jority of buildings in Russia, which
are wooden and but poorly protected
against fire. The constant destruction
of these wooden buildings by fire has
been a perceptible drain on the eco
nomic strength of the country.

an account of his visit to the Briansk
factory at Biejitza. The whole work
ing population, numbering nearly 49,
600, turned out to meet him, and a
delegation consisting of workmen who
have been employed in the factory for
at least twenty years, presented MIN
with bread and salt, the traditional
emblems of hospitality.
1--WE are happy that you have come,
said the leader of the delegation. 1--WE
wish YOU to see our labor, which we
are performing joyfully for you and
for our dear country, while our chill
dren and brothers are fighting on the

The Emperor spent four hours III
the factory going through all the
workshops and carefully inspecting
the progress of the work. Later he
visited the workmen's quarter, going
into several houses and talking with

RUSSIAN CAR
POPULAR WITH
ENTIRE ARMY
(By Associated Press.)

ODESSA, Russia, May 24.-The EN-
peror's trip to Southern Russia, the
latest Of the remarkable series of
journeys which the Russian ruler has
been making into various parts of his
empire in Democratic effort to get
closer in touch with his people, was
complete success.
In Odessa his reception was tre-
mendously enthusiastic, although the
city is strongly Liberal and has never
ben noted for any fervid Loyalty
to the Empire.
The Emperor drove through streets
lined with cheering crowds. He wore
simple service uniform, with the
khaki-colored blouse of a Russian Of
tcer During his progress across the
city he threw etiquette and tradition to
the winds and stood up in his car, hat
IN hand, bowling and smiling to the
cheering crowds.
In a central Square the Emperor
stepped out of his automobile and
inspected the local troops. 1t was no
perfunctory ceremony. At brisk
pace he walked along the entire front,
stopping now and then to exchange a
word with one of the privates. Then
he walked back thoughtfully to the
center of the line and made a brief
extempore speech. 1t was without
oratorical embroidery, simply worded
and matter-of-fact in delivery, but
wonderfully effective. He review the
history of the war, reminded the men
of Russia's glorious past and spoke of
the splendid deeds of the army in the
present campaigns.
DO as your brothers have done,
he said in closing. do as they have
done on the battlefelds of East Prus-
sia, and Russia will remember you."
There was absolute silence for a
full minute after he had finished. Then
the silence was broken by the crash
of thunderous chorus of cheers:
Long live the Emperor! Long live
the Little Father!"
During his visit the Emperor had an
opportunity to show his mastery of
English. The British consul-general,
accompanied by delegation Of Eng
lish residents, presented their con-
gratulations, expressing on behalf of
England admiration and appreciation
of the Russian army's work. The En-
peror replied in English:
Il thank you sincerely for what you
have said. We do not forget how
much We in Russia owe to the brave
English and French. We are now on
the high road to victory, and with the
aid of our Allies, the common cause
shall speedy triumph" :.

try aim to reach the workmen and

MEXICANS SOLDIERS
 FIRE ON U. s. TROOPS
ONE DEAD, TWO NOT EXPECTED TO LIVE-CAVALRY CHARGES
 THE VILLA TROOPS.

Nogales, Ariz.-Three United States soldiers were wounded and 70 Mexl- cans were reported killed in a border skirmish here. One of the Americans is dead and two are expected to live.
 The fight started when drunken Villa straggler in Nogales, Sonora, snatched his rifle from woman with whom he was quarreling and opened fire on the border patrol. This seem ed to be signal for snipers.
 Carranza troops held the town, flushed with victory over the Villa forces few miles south. Advancing Carranza cavalry, chasing the last of the fleeing Villa troops, came under fire of United States soldiers and re- turned it, but the error was discovered before anyone was hurt. Gen. Alvaro Obregon came into town with the troops and exchanged apologies with Col. Sage over the mistake. He set a squad to work destroying what liquor the Villa forces left behind, and an nouneed that order would be main tained.
 A Carranza courier sent to apprise Col. w. H. Sage, commanding he American troops of the defeat and flight of the Villa forces was shot off his horse. He was brought to the American side of the line. The firing across the border began shortly be- fore noon. At this time Villa troops, who, with their chieftain, had evacuat- ed the town early, were hotly engaged by the Obregon forces 12 miles south of Nogales, Sonora.
 The Mexican town ..,ed been footed and shooting, which began earlier, sent a shower of bullets to the Ameri- can side. The crowds which had gath cred in the street leading to Nogales, Sonora, were hurled back by United States soldiers.
 Then a party of snipers opened fire on the American town. Col. Sage had given orders that the American troops should return any fire that en- dangered American lives. Infantry. men stationed near the line opened on the snipers when given the order to fire. A number of the MeXicans were seen to fall.
 A detachment of Villa cavalry, evi- dently a portion of the force engaged south of the city, then was seen dash ing over the hills southwest of No gales, Sonora. They were shooting and lodging and seeking cover. The American soldiers replied to their fire, shooting deliberately and apparently with sufficient effect to halt the Mexi- cans.
