WINS VICTORY
FOR RUSSIA
In Hospital Many Times
With Wounds But Does
Not Give Up

New York. Aug. 16.-It was the
death of her husband which prompt
ed Ensign Vera Butchkareff to en-
list in the Russian army and event
ually to organize the Women's
Legion of Death. of which she is
commander and which achieved
fame in a recent battle with the
Germans according to facts received
by the Russian information bureau
here. According to this information,
Vera Butchkareff is a young country
woman who went to Petrograd from
her native village in the province of
Tomsk.
Having learned in May. 1915, that
her husband was dead on the Ger
man frontier, she made up her mind
to continue the task which her hus-
band began, and enlisted in the
twenty fifth reserve corps of Tomsk.
After a comparatively short train
ing, she went to the front with
company that was to fill the ranks.
Colonel Stubindorf enlisted her as
regular in the twenty eighth Polotzk
regiment, second army. For three
months, Vera Butchkareff fought
with a rife and on March s, 1916,
was wounded in the leg under heavy
artillery fire in a battle which took
place on Lake Naroch. The wound
Notwithstanding, she remained at
the front with her comrades who
captured two lines of trenches and
1000 prisoners.

Afterward she went to the Aus
trian front, and was wounded in her
arm, while taking part in a counter
charge near the Doubova Korchma
Nevertheless, she retained her posi-
ton in the army. But in the next
charge she was wounded severely by
fragment of a shell. She was taken
to the hospital where she remained
for four months. Immediately upon
recovery, she went to Petrograd and
saw M. Rodzianko, president of the
Duma. to ask permission to organize
a company of women.
In a recent interview. Vera Butch
kareff said:
81 saw the president of the Duma
ard obtained permission to form a
woman's company which is to leave
for the front at once. We will set an
example to the men soldiers, many

Washington, Aug. 16.--(Special,)-
The war department is considering
the suggestion of q noted Blackfoot
Indian warrior, Chief Three Bears
of the Glacier National Park reser-
vation. that Uncle Sam release all
of its Mexican border army for ser
vice in France, by conscripting 50,-
900 Indians from the hundred and
one tribes" now upon reservations
scattered over the west.
Fifty thousand men who know
the horse as no white man ever
knew it; $4,000 Indians who, when
their hearts are in a cause, as our
hearts are in this cause. would die
for it as no other nation. Mr.. Secre-
tary of War, call us to arms! Let
us guard and fight for our country.
We stand ready to protect the 1,400
miles of border between the United
States and Mexico, and we promise
you that not an alien foot shall cross
that border to pillage or destroy.
We beg of you to give us the chance
to fight"
This is the appeal to Washington,
made by Chief Three Bears through
Red Fox, his emissary from the
Glacier National Park reservation.

WHO'S YOUR BUG FRrENp9

Indianapolis News: Columbus,
Ind.-One must learn to know the
bugs, lest one speak unjustly of
some that merit friendship and COM
panionship, Frank N. Wallace. state
entomologist, told local residents.
Mr.. Wallace suggested three bugs
which people might use as a starter.
After friendships have been formed
for these the bug acquaintance can
be extended. The lady bird beetle,
the lacedwing fly and the surplus
fly are three bugs to be cultivated.
the entomologist says, because they
eat plant lice almost exclusively.
Persons in Indianapolis, Mr.. Wallace
explained, have made the mistake of
going out and carefully destroying
the eggs of the lady bug beetle,
where found on potato vines. This,
he added. destroyed the worst enemy
the potatobug has.
The potatobug deposits it's eggs
on the under side of the leaf. The
lady bird beetle lays a similar egg,
but it always is found on the upper
side-and should be left there.

Is il not evident, then, that Immediately
after the Battle of Jutland the German
course was clearly defined? Is 1t not
equally evident that the possibility of pur-
suing that course was direct consequence
Of the failure TO annihilate the German
feet? The difficulties of conducting a
blockade under modern conditions were
dwelt upon by Sir John Jellicoe last Janu-
arv on the occasion of his receiving the
Honorary Freedom Of the Fishmongers'
Company, and, incidentally, he touched on
the same difficulties when encountered In
battle. The effective range of torpedo
being at least 10000 yards, it is impera-
tive. he insisted, that ship shall keep
bevond this distance to fight her guns;
but seeing the conditions Of visibility at
Jutland made fighting difficult at such a
range, it was unfortunately impossible to
secure the destruction of the German fleet
In the same way it was necessary IN the
presence of submarines to discontinue the
action off the Dogger Bank in Janu-
airy, 1915.
OF late all discussions concerning the
Battle of Jutland have been much modified
bv consideration of what has happened
since. The belief that a decisive victory
was not necessary and that there was no
excuse for running risks, because control
of the sea was already secured, has in
evitably been abandoned. Had the Ger
mans been thoroughly beaten on that occa-
sion a close blockade of the German coasts
would now be possible, and the control of
the sea would probably be absolute to-day.

Heed Frances Call!
A Plea That Colonel Roosevelt Yet
Be Sent to the Front
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the EDITOR OF ne lTlDunt
Sir: The letter of Frances ex-Premier,
Clemenceau. to the President, just out, seems
to raise again the question of Roosevelts
going TO France. Many OF US still hope
against hope that such may be the case, and
this in spite of the fact of our unquestoned
LOYALTY to our government and our Presi-
dent. Speaking for mysef-and | do not
doubt there are many, many others Of the
same mind trust the question has not
been so unalterably settled as not to be open
for reconsideration by our Chief, especially
in view of the evident and great desire OF
Frances democracy (the poilus), as set
forth in the exPremier's letter.
To us who admire Roosevelt, and even to
MANY who do not (as is evidenced by pub
lished letters from his political opponents,
there seem TO be many excellent reasons
for his going; because his very name is n
synonyme for democracy; because it is ma
tional asset known to the uttermost parts
OF the earth; because his personality is
such in this country, the enthusiasm so great
and farreachng. that men from every Sec
ton of the land would willingly and enthu-
sastically serve where he would serve, even
on the bloody battlefelds OF Europe, VINO
would not otherwise voluntarily do so. why
could no other name arouse such spirit
among the people at large? Why, because
he is the typical American OF our generation
its most representative citizen. There are
greater orators; there are greater writer's;
soldiers. generals, even statesmen, perhaps,
etc. Granting all this and more yet, there
is no other man in public life to-day with
so much force of character, general capabil-
itv who personifies in so large measure the
very best elements of present day civiliza-
ton. In respect TO the military situation his
practical ideas as TO national preparedness,
etc. have stood the test Of time and to-day
those who in bygone years severely criticised
them realize they were mistaken. His voice
was once Ike one crying in the wilderness,
Prepare yel Prepare vel" and those who
needed not now take heed.
The acrimonious discussion as to Roose-
velt's leadership is absurd. Il is not ques-
ton as to leadership or Of military fitness for
the Job; this is for the President alone 20 de-
eide, and, incidentally, his decision should
not be questioned in the least--it is merely q
question of whether our brothers in arms,
fighting the fight of civilization against pure
barbarism" as an eminent visitor has so aptly
put it), have the quick aid they need and
which will be quickly available II Theodore
Roosevelt is accepted as member Of that
force. What does it matter whether it
sprang into existence primarily through the
magic of his name and the inspiration Of his
patriotism (as his many admirers believe)
Frances heroism is superb. Let US heed
her voice. even though the delicacy Of inter-
national official relations forbids her speak
ing loudly. Wv. d. b.
