No single regiment in any army en-
gagged in the present worlds war has
attracted quite as much attention as
the famous Battalion of Death" of
the Russian forces. This regiment,
commanded by Nine. Bachkareva, is
entirely composed of women, mostly
working girls, strong and hardy.
The fearlessness displayed in the
face of the enemy, the daring deeds
of these young women when in &C
ton, has been recorded the world
over and they have well put some of
the less patriotic masculine Russian
soldiers to shame by their bravery
under most trying military condi-
tions.
Despite our generally conceived
goth century notions of woman's
sphere of action in our domestic, So
cial and political life, many people
have wondered how these Russian
girls have been able to stand such
hardships as the soldiers at the front
are obliged to constantly endure.
Most of them seem to be of the
opinion that women, even in view of
their recent wide emancipation in
many fields of human endeavor, are
not physically constituted for such
a trying and exceeding strenuous eX-
istence.
But now comes along one of our
most noted and reliable American
college professors who, after a care
full study of the entire question, has
had the hardihood to affirm that "wo-
man as a soldier is the equal of any
man." The professor in question is no
less a parsonage than DR. Dudley A.
Sargent, of Harvard, and here are
the highly interesting and most sig
nifcant remarks on this subject
which he recently promulgated:
Pound for pound the average nor
NAL woman in good health can ell
dure more pain, discomfort and
fatigue, and can eXpend more mus
cular energy than the average normal
man of similar condition.
Women of Necessity"
woman, of necessity" continues
DR.. Sargent. comes nearer the prim-
tive type than man. She is biologi-
cally more of a savage, more of a
barbarian and she has, therefore,
greater physical endurance. She can
undergo many strains a man cannot.
"Withstanding cold, or thirst, or
hunger, or physical privation of any
sort. woman can outlast a man.
Nine times out of ten woman, from
the standpoint of physical endurance,
should make as good soldier as
man."
So it seems, if what DR.. Sargent
says is correct, and he ought to know
if any one, we should accord woman
the right to enlist and to take her
place on the firing line alongside
troops of the opposite sex, if she so
desires.
Of course, the idea of women sol
diers is by no means new. There
probably has never been a war in
which some women have not taken
part, like Molly Pitcher and Molly
Stark Of our own revolutionary days,

Resources That Might
Have Been Developed

The result of the Navy Depart
ment's incapacity to see a little ship
was a lack of drive in getting the job
of building chasers done. 1t showed
itself in slowness at the beginning be-
fore contracts were let. and in failure
to develop the shipbuilding resources
Of the country by extending financial
aid TO them when the contracts were
finally let.
There are strong firms all along the
coast who with proper assistance could
have greatly increased their capacity
to turn out chasers. England gave this
sort of aid to hundreds of concerns in
this country in order to get quickly
war materials in the quantity she
needed. We shall have to do 1t TO
carry out our airplane and probably
our merchant shipbuilding programme

Hard to Go from

It possessed only one seaworthy sub

were thought of by the older officers
Of the navy, who dominated its habit
of mind and its policies, as merely
toys. Battleships and battle-cruisers
and destroyers were the sum of their
experience and interest. Chasers were

headed toward big ships too long TO
turn about quickly and interest itself
IN little ships. Probably it would have
been better if some one outside the
Navy Department could have under

which must be the chief reliance, at
least so far as numbers are con-
cerned, in beating the submarine
some one with fresh point of view,
capable of getting excited over little

ncction TO recall that Britain has had
to put its shipbuilding. naval and

railroad business in this country.

Pershing Spends
Day at Offices;
Guest of Vivian
American Troops Find
French Rations Better
than Their Own

Paris, June 17.-Major General Per-
shing, the American commander, spent
a quiet morning attending to business
in his Offices and trying to catch up
with accumulated correspondence.
He lunched at noon as the guest of
". Vivian, Minister of Justice.
The American enlisted men who
came to France with General Pershing
are having experiences with foreign
habits, languages and rations which in
dictate what the main body of American
troops will find when it arrives.
The Americans are quartered at the
Pepiniere Barracks, huge quadrilat-
eral on Place st. Augustin. one of the
central locations OF Paris. There are
housed troops from all the Allied ma
tions. including Russians, Serbians,
Belgians, Rumanians, Canadians. Aus

sixty American troopers. engineers and

arrivals, The vast central court pre-

Each contingent has its own drills
and its own living and eating quarters,
but when the men are off duty the
court is crowded with the soldiers,
speaking many languages and attempt.

with signs. The American troops are
on French military rations, which they
like better than American or British
rations. for, in addition 70 an album
dance of well-cooked food, they en-
brace the regular French allowance OF
wine.
The chief novelty for the Americans
is the Continental breakfast, restricted

are served in courses, with plenty OF
meat and vegetables. The meatless

the French policy is to limit the re-

may be kept up to the full measure OF

The sleeping quarters are plain and

in the morning, breakfast at 7. inspec-

clares "the time has now arrived when

The following letter has been sent
TO the admiral by Secretary Daniels:
"The department learns with pleas
ure of the remarkable work being done
by the feet in the training of gun
crews and engineer force for armed
guards and for vessels that are being
sent to European waters. IL is most
gratifying to see the splendid spirit
that animates the feet, since it is doing
the most important work with reduced

Women of Uruguay
Take First Steps
For Prohibition
Ask Congress to Close Ii
quor Shops on Sundays
and Holidays
Broadway

From a Special Correspondent Of Tho Troun.)
Montevideo, May 23.-Women in
Uruguay want the country turned dry
and are working hard to that end. Re-
alizing, however, that it would be i'm
possible to obtain complete success
from the beginning and that move
ment of this kind requires q starting
point, they are now asking only for a
law closing saloons and wine shops on
Sundays and holidays.
For this purpose an organization was
established called the Anti-Liquor
Women's League, which addressed the
Uruguayan Congress, urging the adop-
ton of such measure. The request
was lately supported by a note sent by
the National Women's Council in rep
resentation of every woman's associa-
ton in the country. The document is
unusually strong and shows how close
" the Uruguayan women have followed
the prohibition movement all over the
world
1--WE will not here discuss the neces-
sity Of this measure" the note says,
NOR the destructive influence Of liquor
on the individual health as well on the
race. But in our capacity as women
and mothers il is our duty 10 look for
the future of our race, and from our
legislators We request the protection
we are entitled 10 in order to save our
children from degeneracy, the neces-
sary outcome of alcoholism.
France, in the middle Of national
crisis, and despite the fact that she
was one Of the largest producers OF
liquors. has succeeded in enforcing
prohibition and in suppressing the sale
of alcoholic beverages to any citizen
fighting under her flag, and one Of the
greatest merits of General Gallieni
was that he contributed, by this meas
ure. TO the heroic defence Of France.
Another and more interesting case
is that of Russia, which. owing TO the
excellent decree issued in October,
1914. has been regenerated. Russia,
however, was in very serious finan-
cial condition, since the main source
of her income was the monopoly OF
alcohol. If she, therefore, solved the
financial side of the question with sue
cess. could not Uruguay solve it?
Here the question is merely the
REGARD due to private interests, above
which we must place the future OF our
race. Shall we Uruguayans then be
less conscious Of the danger than the
Russian people were"

Belgium S ENJOYS
Greeted in Capital;
Meet Wilson To-day
Mission to Discuss Peace Ques-
tons Rather Than War
Needs

Washington, June H. Belgium's
diplomatic mission came TO Washing
ton to-day to express its gratitude for
all that the United States has done to
relieve the suffering Of its people and
TO discuss with American officials the
reparation that is to be demanded of
Germany for violated faith at the be-
ginning of the war and international
crimes that have followed It.
The representatives of King Albert,
who has chung tenaciously for nearly
three years TO the last free fringe OF
his country, were received with all the
courtesies and probably with deeper
emotions than the official missions Of
the greater nations who preceded them.
Secretary Lansing, Counsellor Polk and
Assistant Secretary Phillips, Of the
State Department, greeted them at the
station, after which, escorted by two
companies of cavalry, they motored to
the home of Larz Anderson, former
Minister TO Belgium. he Anderson
home is TO be their headquarters.
Baron Ludovic Moncheur, chief OF
the Political Bureau of the Belgian
Foreign Office and for eight years Min
ister to this country, heads the mission.
1t is understood he expects 70 conrne
his efforts largely 70 the ultimate peace
questions rather than 20 immediate
war needs. In the latter he will find
his wishes already met, for the United
States shortly after its entrance into
the war took over the entire cost of the
relief in Belgium. Each month the
Treasury Department advances $780,
900 for this purpose.
The mission will be formally present
ed to President Wilson, probably to-
morrow; will later be received by the
Senate and the House, and will be en-
tertained at a series Of formal recep-
lions and dinners.
