tilities he was in Italy engaged in lit
erary work and being unable to return
to his native country he enlisted in
the foreign legion as a private in Sep
tember 1914. During the first eight
months of the war he took part in four
daring bayonet charges. in the last of
which he was wounded by an explosive
bullet while seizing a machine gun po-
sition.
While recuperating after the amputa-
tion of his right arm. following infec-
tion of his wound on the battlefield.
Lieut.. Pechkoff had ample opportunity
to observe the magnificent work of the
American hospital in Paris, and he Will
tell of some of the achievements of
this splendid institution. After recov-
ering from his wound, he went to Italy,
where he lectured before the royal fam
lily, and was also presented to Cardinal
Mercier of Belgium. Returning to
France, he re-enlisted and received his
commission. The lecturer
was decorated at the Court of Honour
at the Invalides in Paris with the
war cross with palms, with the military
medal of valor and was also the recipi-
ent of the cross of st. George of Rus
sia. Lieut.. Pechkoff's lecture will be
illustrated with slides and motion
pictures.
