RUSSIAN Tells
HORRORS OF WAR
Former Member of Embassy at Wash.

Headquarters Of the Russian Army
of the Center-(Correspondence OF the
Associated Press.) - The following
story of the 21st flying column of the
1st Siberian corps was related by An
drew Kalpaschnikoff offered his ser
vice to his country at the outbreak of
the war and was assigned to service
with the Red Cross. He became iden-
titled with the 21st flying squadron and
soon was placed in command of that
body.
THE reckless daring of the 1St Siber-
ian corps" said Kalpaschnikoff, lis
well known throughout Russia. The
flying column attached to such fight
ing organization has no easy task. In
the first days of the war several col
umns, attracted by the brilliant
achievements OF that corps in the de-
Tense of Warsaw, strove for the honor
of working with it, and especially with
the famous LIST division; but they found
the work too hard, or the conditions
too dangerous, and after brief periods
abandoned the task
THE 21st flying column which had
been with the corps since the end OF
November, 1914, has proven its worth.
1t was organized at the expense of a
rich patroness, Countess Tolstoy, al
ready famed for the work she has
done in the founding of hospitals and
feeding points for the sick and wound
ed. Early in October it did its first
work with one of the European corps
sent to the relief of Lovitch. At crit

rescue General Mishenko called out
the heroes of that night, thanked them
for their work and made them the sub
ject of a flattering order to his regi-
ment Immediately after the COM
mander of the column fell ill and l was
left in command"
Among the troops whose gallantry
stopped the Germans second time
from coming to Warsaw were those OF
the LIST Siberian corps.
For the first time having seen the
magnetic Serbian officers" said Kali
paschnikoff, Il decided to offer the ser
vices of the column to that brilliant
corps, | went to the commander of the
corps, General Pleshkoff, who accepted
my services. l was fascinated by him

During the long tenure of the line OF
the Bsura river before Warsaw, when
the Smelling at times was so intense
that it seemed to him that no human
being could live in the trenches, Kali
paschnikoff and his column took Out
and cared for several thousands OF
wounded, victims not only of Smelling
but of German gases.
Continuing his narrative, Commander
kalpashnikoff said:

BANGS BRINGS JOY
TOLOCAI AUDIENCE

Celebrity or salubrity? That is the
question which is facing public men
of today. according to John Kendrick
Bangs, who lectured at Augustana col
lege last evening under the manage
ment of the lyceum The topic of the
ex-editor's dissertation was "Salubri-
ties | Have Met" and in the course
OF the evening he drew very enter
tanning distinction between the two
Humor emanated from the orator and
no other number of the Augustana ly-
ceum pleased more than that OF last
evening.
In his category of salubrities he
placed Rudyard kipling, the English
author, Andrew Carnegie. American
philanthropist; Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle, English novelist, but the man
who seemingly appealed to Mr. Bangs
most was Mark Twain. Clemens en-
bodied all the necessary qualifications
of true salubrity, namely he did not
grow old except in age, he believed in
mankind and was not skeptic, and
lastly he had ambition, ambition to do
something for mankind. Some celeb
rites do not answer to the descrip-
ton of salubrities, said Bangs, and in
this class he placed Winston Spencer
Churchill of England. Politics did not
figure in the lecturers computations,
for he very evidently considered
neither William Jennings Bryan nor
Teddy Roosevelt salubrities,
Spiced with wit from the lips of a
man of pleasant thoughts, the lecture
could not fail TO please, but the ques-
| ton, Celebrity or Salubrity, Which
Are You?" hummed itself TO the lis
teners. The pleasantness was inces-
SAINT and no gloomy thoughts could
remain

the danger of serious foods and snow
slides caused by the melting snow,
conditions in western Washington,
which has been snowbound since Tues
day night, are rapidly approaching

ical moment, when the enemy had
broken through the Russian lines in
two places, the column took up its task
on its own initiative. The commander,
at that time Bashkiroff, dispatched two
sections to a neighboring village in
charge of Terotinin, son of the emper-
or's physician, and myself.
"a diplomat and student neither
of whom had been in war before, could
not judge of the danger and we rode
boldly into the village, half of which
had already been occupied by the Ger
mans. The latter opened fire on our
sanitary carriages with rapid fire guns.
Part of the carriages were destroyed.
We recalled our men and started back
as fast as we could. The Germans
shelled the road over which we rode to
our headquarters, but we found that
the road from Lovitch had been cut
With the wounded we had picked up
we had to make a retreat of 35 miles in
one night, most of the way under the
shell fire of the Germans, to Skierni-
yitze. There we found that the town
had been ordered evacuated by the
Russian troops and we were practical
ly the only ones left there. A hot fight
was in progress outside the city. AT
the last moment Russian success on
one of the TANKS saved the city and en-
abled the Russians to repulse the Ger
mans. Being the only Red Cross unit
on the grounds, as the result of mere
chance, we found and fed, in two days
SOFT wounded.
I'VE were ordered then to move on
with the corps of the famous General
Mishenko, known as the Cossack Raid
| er of the Japanese war. We took up
our work in his advance lines just al
the time the Germans made their sec
ond dash on Warsaw. Our corps stood
| firm for nine days, repulsing attack
after attack. This nine days among
the Caucasian heroes was the most
| irving and dangerous, but at the same
time the most instructive. of our ex-
periences. In one night 700 wounded
were found and cared for, the greater
part in the trenches under heavy ar
tillery fire. Several sanitars were
wounded.
| when new corps came to the rescue
| the Caucasians were ordered to make q
rapid move back TO join fresh troops
and begin an advance together. Inc
move was executed so suddenly and
rapidly that the military aide had ne
time to take out the wounded living II
| several villages near by, The last see
! ton of the column volunteered TO Greer
into the villages and rescue the wound
ed who otherwise were threatened
with being burned, fire having broker
out in several places. Through th'

in this rapid march, had been left be-
hind. The 21st flying column followed
and was the first to enter after the
city had been taken by the LIST and
3rd Siberian regiments. The sights we
saw cannot be adequately described
More than twenty-seven hundred
wounded Germans without having had
any care whatever, were lying or
crawling about the streets, hiding in
Easements and outbuildings, evidently
hoping that the Germans would make
a counter-attack and reenter the city.
The bitches were full of dead and
wounded as were the open spaces
about the city and the outlying vii
lagos. Many of our men were scatter
ed among the German wounded. We
found the work almost beyond our ca
pacity, far from railroad and with
the troops always moving on. We
formed concentration camps at various
points and put students in charge of
them"
To accomplish the rescue Kalpash-
nikoff and the students had to crawl
more than mile along a ditch, but in
plain view and in constant range of the
German trenches, but. in the words of
Kalpashnikoff, 1.-The German soldiers
shot rather badly"
After the Germans left Heinoff the
population was destitute and facing
starvation. The flying column in the
succeeding days fed there 22,69S per-
sons besides stamping out an epidemic
of typhoid fever which for time
threatened to assume large proper
tons

cording 10 the system of adding to-
, so.her the ranks Of the contestants,
The city securing the least number of
points is the winner.
Each OF the tri-cities was represent
ed by two teams of three each. Daven-
nort sending one to Rock Island, Rock
Island one to Moline, Moline one to
Davenport and each city using the
other of the two teams on their re-
spective home floors to contest with
their visitors. The Davenport visitors
nf Rock Island tied the latter team
bv the score Of 80 TO 33, Rock Island
winning her percentages, however,
while the home team for the Iowans
tied the Moline visitors by the score of
so TO %, while the percentages gave
the contest to Davenport. The Rock
Island team which iourneyed to Mo-
line was defeated by Moline by the
score Of % TO "a.
First of Kind.
The contest Yesterday was the first
tri-city girls declamatory contest that
has ever been held. In fact, the idea
OF tri-city declamatory contest was
first carried out Dec. l, last, when the
three cities tried the plan in a boys
contest. The plan worked so success
fully that it was decided to have a
girls contest of the same sort. The
contest in no way interferes with the
regular Big Eight contest, which will
take place Feb 10 at Rock Island and
to which each school in the Big Eight
league will send one representative.
Rock Island will hold its preliminary
TO decide its best declaimer about a
week before this contest.
The plan for the tri-city decIama-
ton contest is essentially the same
as that for the Big Eight debates, the
same triangular system being follow
ed and the same number on each
team being picked. 1t has not, how
ever, been taken up as yet by any
other cities in the league.
