girl, Eve attacked the Germans. Es-
pecially memorable was our attack at
Novospassky wood, near Smorgon,
where the enemy, hearing the voices
of girls, lost their nerve. The result
was that many of them were killed,
wounded or taken prisonerS
AmonT the prisoners were a few
women, from whom we learned for
the first time that German women
also were fighting.
1--WE did not feel the slightest fear
of our personal safety. Our passion
was to serve the fatherland. We ad-
vanced gaily against the foe with
laughter and song, Our only unpleas-
ant sentiments being when we first
came to the corpses. Once, when re-
plying to the enemy's severe rifle and
machine gun fire, we discovered to
our amazement that all our men COM
rades i the neighboring trenches had
treacherously fled, leaving us--a
handful of women-to face the enemy
alone"

Steamship Eastland
Converted Into Gunb0at

Chicago, July 28-The steamer
Eastland which turned over in the
Chicago river two years ago, causing
the death of more than 800 excursion
lists, is practically ready for service
as gunboat of the United States
navy. The steamer has been rebuilt
and cut down so that it will be more
seaworthy and will be able to steam
about twenty-five knots an hour.
When the government takes the East
land into service its name will be
changed to Wilmette. 1t will carry
four three-inch guns and four three
Founders and probably will be used
as training ship on the great lakes,

All Were Wrong.
All of them were wrong. At the
Militia Bureau, of the War Depart
ment, 1t was learned today that the
national de'ense act OF June 3, 1916,
fixed, the title as the Third Regi-
ment, District of Columbia Infantry,
National Guard quite a mouthful,
but absolutely official, and the only
name entirely correct.
The confusion among the guards
men themselves over their name is
not surprising, for that name has
been changed several times since the
guard was first formed.
At first there were two regiments,
known as the First Regiment, and
the Second Regiment, Organized Mi
litia, etc. Both these were combined
into the Third Regiment of Organized
Militia of the District OF Columbia
Then, shortly before the troops
went to the border, an order was is
sued stating that the term Organized
Militia would no longer be applic-
able.
As a result, for some time the or
ganization was known merely as the
Third District of Columbia Infantry.
The final change to the present Of
fcial title was announced in a formal
circular sent out by the Militia Bu-
reau on December of last year.
