The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1917-10-16

Petrograd, Sept. q, (by mail to The
Washington Herald -Feodor Kulich.
Russian boy scout of Il, wears the
Red Badge of Courage.
1t Is on his left sleeve, just above
his wrist He got 1t saving Ivan
Korovin, Siberian soldier, from
death.
Feodor had lived near Kishinev.
And here, near the war frontier, Feo-
dor was a member OF q company of
boy scouts which went even up to
the first lines to serve the Russian
army in recent fighting.
In the main the Russians held their
ground. But the line had been weak
! ened by the dispatch of divisions
northward to the territory about
Riga, and in spots 1t gave.
At the close Of several days OF
scattered fighting the Austrian troops
had been pushed back to their old
front. And in these contested sec
tors, once more in the hands OF the
Russians, the battlefield was still lit
tered with scattered dead and wound
ed.
The boy scouts were working be-
hind the, new Russian first lines, but
still in the zone of the bitter bonn
up.
Feodor Kulich found the Siberian
soldier Korovin in a shell hole. The
soldier had dragged himself into the
crater for protection after receiving
his wound.
He had been almost two days with
out food or water.
The 12-year-old boy made the first
trip to Korovin's side, under heavy
fire, when he was attracted by the
waving Of the mans arm over the
rim Of the shell crater.
Little Feodor, though the firing
had hardly slackened, made a sec
ond trip to Korovin's temporary
shelter, bringing food and water and
bandages.
But even after the youngster had
cut away the filthy cloth and swabed
away the clotted blood, the wounded
Siberian could not walk. So Feodor
started back for help.
He was shot in the left shoulder.
But with his right hand the boy
pinched a roll of bandage tightly
against the wound to prevent bleed
ing and trudged back to the field hos
pital
There, after his shoulder had been
tied up, he insisted upon guiding
stretcher bearers to Korovin's side.
He knew for the wounded soldier 1t
was a case Of early rescue. or of
death almost within reach of safety
In the repeated Austrian offensives.
And for a third time the boy Feo-
dor, despite his wound, made the trip
from the safety Of the field hospital
behind the ridge across the she'll
torn plain, In the zone OF fire.
Feeders courageous example in
spired the troops of that front, and
news Of 1t spread to district head
