"BETTER HALF OF RUSSIA"
Incident at Petrograd Railroad Sta
ton Shows What She Is.

When I left Petrograd for Mohilefff
in an army train a young soldier who
shared my compartment, on his way
to the front, leaned out of the win
dow to say goodbye to a young girl.
An old artillery officer explained to
me in French that they were married,
but both had been attending univer-
stiles and both expected to be doc
tors.
The young Slav giant, with flaxen
hair and clear skin, roared with
laughter, though somewhat nervous
ly, and the girl, tall, well poised, rest
ed her large hands on the window
sill and chatted with a smiling
countenance. They were Spartans.
+ The train started. The girl ran
behind a post, where he could not
see her, but I could, and buried her
face in her arm, shaking with emo
ton. The young blood giant turned
to me, and with tears in the corners
of his eye gripped my knees and
poured forth in low, thick voice
flood of Russian words.
"Ah, he desires to communicate to
you," the old artillery officer said in
French-'he desires to communicate
to you that it is not difficult to say
goodbye to an ordinary pretty Wo-
man to whom one is married and
whom one loves, but that it is much
more difficult if she is also ones best
friend"
Perhaps there is in this deserved
tribute to the best of the better half
of Russia.-Richard Washburn Child,
in the Century Magazine.

DARING FEAT OF AVIATOR

LONDON, Dec. l.-One of the most thrilling tales ever told of human daring was brought to light today in the war re- ports from the Turkish war zone, wherein it is stated that two British aviators who had successfully attacked the Turkish rail way station at Feriiek were returning to their own lines when shot from the Turk ish guns brought one of them down within a few hundred yards of the Turkish lines. His companion, seeing him in peril, at once swooped down in the wake of the failing machine and rescued the aviator almost under the noses of the Turks who were rushing up from all sides.
 Amid storm of small shot the nervy flyer caught up his luckless companion and scared swiftly upward without receiving q scratch, and reached the British lines in safety The closeness of the escape is in dcated by the statement that more than three hundred holes were found in the wings of the war plane.

TRIBUTE OF HUNGARIAN

 An enthusiastic tribute to the Russian soldier and his leaders is paid by General Arg, the Hungarian military leader who for five months was Mackensen's chief lieutenant in the latters Russian cam- paign General Arz summarizes his opln- aon of the Russian enemy in statement which he has given to the correspondent of the Budapest papers. lie says
 The Russian military leadership is en- ergetic and determined, and l must ac- knowledge that in this respect the Russians are quite up to date. 1 need not say that in fo-tifyng positions and in retreatlng they are exceedingly cleN CT. As far as field Notifications are concerned, we sim ply adopted their methods. In their re- treats the striking feature is the way they always managed to save their supply col umns Throughout the campaign we sue ceeded in capturing the supplies of only one regiment together with field kitchen and the cooks

TERRIBLE SCENES ENACTED
 WHEN MOB HELD SWAY

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Jan S.-Four persons are dead and one hundred wounded as the result of riots here resulting from the strike of six thousand steel workers. Fifteen city blocks are blazing and with militia firing into the mob, the city was converted last night into an inferno. The loss to property as 8 result of the riots is a million dollars, and three companies of militia are lined up with loaded rifles awaiting another outbreak. It Is assumed that the fires were of incendiary origin, and one hundred of the rioters are in jail. The arson and murder which began yes terday continued throughout the night and until martial law was declared
 The origin of the great fire IS shrouded in mystery. Immediately after the blaze broke out drunken mobs broke into riotous disorder and began footing the stores and postoffice A powerful posse of citizens was formed to quell the rioters, and with rifles in hand, ordered the mob to cease. Orders being without avail, the posse fired over the heads of the crowd, but the riot CTS never finched, and then the guns were leveled at the mob and the order to fire was given. Many of the mob fell at the volley. Immediately afterwards the mill tia was called out, and for the present has the situation well in hand. The whole city was terrorized while the drunken mob ragged through the streets in their orgy of footing and the fire spread from block to block It is assumed that the strikers set fire to the buildings, but of this there is no proof

they shifted far back for their main ob iect was that we should not take any more guns from them. The Russian cavalry had little to do during the offensive.
 "The prisoners" continued the general whom came across were all handy and good-hearted people They never behaved in hostile manner toward us unlike the prisoners on other fronts, who could not conceal their enmity and contempt. AS inspected the many thousands of Russian prisoners, l always found that they were first class material in every way. Most ot them are tall, strong and healthy. The only trouble IS their inferior intelligence. studied them carefully, and l saw that they have little knowledge of events, and some of them even thought that the French emperor was coming behind us with his hosts and that we would be crushed be- tween the two armies
 "The Russian counter attacks were much stronger in the beginning of our offensive than later on As time passed these be- came weaker and more rare, as the Rus sian reserves began to diminish. My ex- perence throughout the campaign was that the Russians were never totally short of ammunition They had ample artillery and infantry munitions all the time. When ever we took Russian positions we always found great quantities there"

Woman's Experience on Trail

Jack Sutherland and Jack Cronin of An chorage prevented what might have been the first tragedy of the trail over Indian creek summit last week, when they picked up Mir and Mrs Stahl, who started to walk from Anchorage to Glacier creek, says the Seward Post of January 6. The couple had no trouble until they reached Mile 25 roadhouse, out of Anchorage where they and fourteen others were stalled on account of storm on the summit. The morning Sutherland and Cronin arrived they all started out with the double -enders in the lead breaking trail Two miles out the cavacade hit deep snow and the dog teams and mushers soon passed the sleds.
