Russia S women soldiers will die for
Premier Kerensky, if need be.
The ''legion of death" was reform
ing today, ready to first wherever they
may be ordered.
"We must show the world we are
willing to die for Russia" declared
Madame Butchkoreva, commander of
the legion, as she left with a score of
women recruits for Moscow, there to
gather more women fighters.
GIVE will assemble 250 more women,
every one of whom will die, if need
be, for Russia's freedom"
Hundreds of citizens who had fought
for places in the ticket lines, hastily
preparing for exodus from the capital,
were shamed by the spectacle of Nine.
Butchkoreva, dressed in army uniform,
assembling group of girls and women
at the station. Two or three male Off
GERS formed the girls into something
akin to military formation.
"These are recruits" the command
er declared, GIVE are now en- route to

The New Military Leader.
He is unique in Russian military life
He lives in Spartan-like simplicity, c
big man physically and mentally, who
carries his sixty years easily.
General Klembovsky dresses in th'
plainest sort Of uniform and wears only
decorations of his own country. He dis
tinguished himself in the Russian oper
ations at Lilo Yang during the Russo
japanese war and is know as sol
der of exceptional initiative. For years
he has battled to destroy army red tape
and to improve the mentality no les
than the morals Of his Officers and men
During the early months of the pres
ent war, it was recalled today that
Klembovslxy travelled in an ordinary
horse car, in company with three steeds
At one end Of the box car the genera
had a camp bed installed for himself
and his orderly. Forage for his three
horses and for others literally filled
the remainder of the ear. The sides in
the small section in which Klembovsky
reserved for his working rooms were
covered with maps on which the general
worked necessarily.
At one period of the war Klembov.

staff and is generally credited with
playing a great part in this most sue
cessful Russian general S victories.

"Let's see," observed Burleson, stroll
ing up to him and deliberately opening
the old mans jaws, not only to San
try's astonishment, but to the stupe-
faction of the community around the
unhghted stove.

young man.
Somebody brought it.
"Tonsilitis," said Burleson, briefly,
"I'Il send you something tonight"

Burleson, laughing. :" only doctor

Mr.. Santry went, pausing at the
door to survey the gathering with

Burleson paid for the knife, bought
dozen stamps, tasted the cheese and
ordered a whole one, selected three or
four barrels of apples, and turned on
his heel with a curt goodnight.

-Four" repeated Burleson. Now

Der, the short grass On hillside pastures
was intensely green, flocks of thistle
birds disguised IN demure russell passed
in wavering flight from thieket to

ID sky of sapphire, linking summer
and autumn together in the magni-

As she said nothing, he went on,
reflectively: Eminent authorities have
