liant corps. I went to the command ed of the corps, General Pleshkoff, who accepted my services. I was fascinated by him, and my impression of him, gained that day, as a man beloved by his soldiers, big hearted and fatherly, has never changed"
 During the long tenure of the line of the Bsura river before Warsaw, when the shelling at times was so in tense that it seemed to him that no human being could live in the trench es. Kalpaschinkoff and his column took out and cared for several thou sand of wounded, victims not only of smelling but of German gases.
 Continuing his narration, Com- mander Kalpashnikoff said:
 Prassnitz Operation.
 About this time the Prassnitz oper- ation came to a crisis. A blow was necessary to stop the development of the German plan directed on Wilma. The Siberian corps was summoned to start on a few hours notice and pro- ceed by forced marches 137 kilometres to Prassnitz over fearful roads and in wretched weather. Two days was allowed to cover the distance. The world knows of that brilliant dash and what was its result. The military hospital in this rapid march, had been left behind. The Twenty First Fly ing column followed and was the first to enter after the city had been taken by the First and Third Siberian regi- ments. The sights we saw cannot be adequately described. More than 27OO wounded Germans without hay ing had any care whatever, were lying or crawling about the streets, hiding m basements and outbuildings, evil dently hoping that the Germans would make counter-attack and re-enter the city. The ditches were full of dead and wounded as were the open spaces about the city and the outly- Ing Villages. Many of our own men were scattered among the German wounded. We found the work almost beyond our capacity, far from a rail road and with the troops always nov ing on. We formed concentration samps at various points and put stu dents in charge of them. In these camps We collected 3360 wounded"
 To accomplish the rescue Kalpash- nikoff and the student 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, 'the German soldiers shot rather badly"
 After the Germans left Heinoff the population was destitute and facing starvation. The Flying Column in he succeeding days fed there 22,69S persons besides stamping out an epi- Jennie of typhus fever which for a lime threatened to assume large pro- portions.

Another number that was particularly well received was entitled the "Darkey's Awakening" This was a short sketch by the banjo club The setting was good, the lights being ex- tinguished, the entertainers sitting be- for an open fireplace. An Indian war song was a feature of this piece. H. c. Williamson. IT, who was to have ren- dered a vocal solo, was taken ill yes- terday and the club rendered a selec- tion in his stead. Five members of the club also presented a little sketch entitled Experience Jr.,'' a comedy dealing with freshmans first days experience in college life.
 The Mandolin club, the GIee club and the Banjo club all contributed to the evenings entertainment and the closing number. "The Cardinal and Grey" by the combined club was we'll rendered.

 U-BOat.

Berlin, Feb. 5, (By wireless to Say ville)-"Further details of the attack by a British auxiliary cruiser, flying the Dutch flag, on a German subma- rine are given from an authoritative source," says the Overseas News Agency. '"The submarine signalled the steamer to send boats, in order that the steamers papers might be examined. This was done after an interval. It is stated that the steamer was 8 freighter of 5000 tons, with nothing suspicious about her appear ance. She flew the Dutch flag and bore the name Melanie.
 While waiting for the boats the submarine submerged. It approached within about 1000 metres of the steamship, which opened five with two cannon of medium type and with "ach1ne guns. The submarine es- capped only by submerging.
 The steamer then attempted twice to ram the submarine, flying the Dutch flag all this time
 There is no Dutch steamer Me 1anie, but there is a British boat of this name of 3,0O2 tons.
 "In connection with these facts is recalled report of the Havas Agency on Jan. 28 to the effect that the French mail boat Plata, without be- ing attacked, opened fire on a sub- marine and sank it.
 Rear Admiral Lacaze French min ister of marine, was quoted by the Paris press as saying that all of the French trading ships had been order ed to ram or fire at submarines whether or not attacked by them"
