RUSS SOLDIERS
TAKE THE Oath
Renounce Gar and Swear
Allegiance to New
Government.
fBy Associated Press. )

Saloniki, May All the Russian
troops on the Balkan front have now
taken the oath of allegiance to the new
Russian government Russian soldiers
in the vicinity of SaIoniki were mar
shaled on a suburban parade ground
for the ceremony OF swearing allie
glance to the provisional authority.
The general in command addressed
them, reading the Russian emperor 5
proclamation of abdication and ex-
planning that a constitutional conven-
ton was to be held later to choose a
form of government.
THE, emperor has given UP his
throne" said the general, "and has alb
solved you of your oath of fealty to
him. You are therefore free now to
take the oath of allegiance to the new
provisional government"
Not dissenting voice was raised
when the general read the new oath,
which was first repeated by the officers
and then by the men, all of whom
thereupon filed past and kissed the
Bible and the cross in token of their
new allegiance.
In conclusion, the general explained
that all courtesy titles had been abol-
ished. and that in future the men must
not address him as "excellency" but
simply as general.
"Yes, your excellency," replied all
the men in chorus, whereupon they
were made to repeat their acknowledg-
ment in the new manner Of Yes, gen.
erap.

Canadian Sergeant Writes

London, May 1.-The first account of

q British tank" is contained in a
letter, just released by the censor,
from Sergeant F. q. Divall, a Cana
dian, who has been attached to one
OF the tank" companies since the big
cars were first sent to the French
front. He says:
The order to advance is given.
Steadily the long. powerful shapes
move forward In the gray mists of
dawn. The the weird-looking forms
travel over the front trench the troops
there rub their eyes in wonder at the
strange cube-impressioniet coat of
wearing. Inside the tanks are the

keen-eyed fighting men, strangely
CARRIED. as becomes their strange craft
while around them Is a complicated
mass Of machinery.
Now we are passing over shell
holes, tree stumps, and many other trt-
f1es. which I'LL the ground OF No Mans
Land! The deck OF the tank rolls
and pitches like a torpedo boat in a
storm. The crew hold on to anything
within reach to steady ourselves while
we rush down q large shell hole. But
we come safely through without sea-
sickness.
suddenly the gunnery officer gives
the ord0ri To action. Ills voice Is
only just heard above the noise OF the
whirling machinery. A few sighting
shots, and we have found the range.
We succeed in putting out two ma
chine gun emplacements, the guns of
which have been worrying our infan-
try for some time. And now the &C
ton begins in earnest Hun bullets
are rebounding from our tough sides
like hail from a glass roof, while in
side the tanks the whole crew are
at various guns, which break forth in
a devastating fire, under which moth
ing can live.

the air quite oppressive and uncom-
Portable to breathe. Now we ara
nearing the next enemy trench, and we
hear the deep report Of bursting
bombs, above the pattering of the
storm of bullets, striking our armor.
Soon we find ourselves on the edge

just linked together, showing how Sc
we're our previous bombardments had
been. The Huns show fight here, and
we have a warm ten minutes before
they give signs OF retreating. We
leave them for minute or two in or
der to ram a machine gun emplace-
ment, which Is still threatening our
rapidly advancing infantry. We just
crawl over the embankment, guns and
all; it is not necessary to fire a single
shot
Now 1t is time for us to advance to
the next and last position. We have
the good fortune to strike q road
which has escaped serious damage,
and. making all speed along this we
make up to the Huns who have es-
capped from the last trench. But they
have had enough OF the all-devouring
monster. and are ready to throw down
their arms and make their way to
our infantry, glad to be prisoners.
The last trench proves to be the
worst for, just as we are crossing a
large hole, our bus stops. Two or
three Huns, seeing our difficulty,
crawl out of a hole like rabbits, and
are brave enough to creep on the back
of the tank from behind. But we
hear them on the armor and they were
doomed not to get the iron cross, for
we open a small trap-door and shoot
them with q revolver. OF course, we
had seen them before they reached
the tank but as our mechanism was
giving us a little change Of occupation
Just then, we did not trouble about
them.
And now the old bus is going
strong again. Only just in time, for
a large lyddite bomb bursts the ar
mored jacket OF my gun. The flare
comes in through the port hole, blind
ing me for minute or. so. while small
splinters strike my face. But my gun
is still untouched, thanks to the armor
plate, and, somehow, seems to work
much better. And now catch some
Huns retreating along a trench In
line with a burst Of shell. The Ger
mans are now scattered in small
parties. 1t is almost like playing at
hide land seek as we now travel back
ward and forward along that trench
After few short runs we find no more

Educational facilities to women in
both the secondary and university
schools were granted In Russia long
before most other European countries.
For years past, too. women have had
rather greater liberty of thought and
action than men. and while there has
been no very strong or organized
directly engaged in public work by the
side of the men. and it seemed to no.
body any great step from the position
they thus enjoyed to the actual vote.
When the revolution came, everyone
Joined in. women as well as men.
Women who had been nursing or
studying or writing or working in
relief societies or cooperative stores
or munition factories, or simply house,
keeping, came forward and took their
places naturally in the many-sided
movement. Women were promipent in
the bread professions which were
reluctantly fired on by the soldiers.
Women workers and girl students
marched with the soldiers and work.
men, and took revolutionary, red-hag-
ged rides in the Communicated auto
mobiles.
Women leaders came to the Duma
with information and advice. establish
ed connections, and helped to gather
up the loose ends of the chaotic move
ment. Women and girls crowded into
the Duma with the throng OF soldiers
and workmen. radiated out into the
myriad committees. distributed food,
operated typewriters, and found for
themselves suitable places in the gem
eral organization. Young women were
found frequently as speakers at the
impromptu mass meetings where ora
tors OF the people harangued the
crowds at street corners. A woman's
organization plastered the town with
bills urging equal recognition Of the
sexes.
A woman writer was placed at the
head of the organization OF temporary
soup kitchens opened for the soldiers
during the revolution week. The city
council elected to its permanent COM
mittee several women, including
Madame Miliukoff and Countess Panin.
There were meetings specially organic
ed by women house servants to urge
an Improvement in their working
conditions but, as nobody knew what
to demand, nothing further happened.
There have been continuous meetings
of women at the Women's University
and Medical College. with stormy con-
nicts between the moderateS and the
radicals. and thousands of resolutions
have been passed. declaring for equal
suffrage. resumption of work, con-
tinuation of the war. and support of
the provisional government.
School girls everywhere have been
imbued with the new spirit. They
have organized. elected committees
and councils. land passed resolutions,
usually under the advice and counsel
of their teachers. The schools hum
with the voluntary study of civics and
economics.
Pupils in the various schools of
Petrograd proposed the formation of a
union of pupils. to which each School,
was to send proportional delegation.
The principals vetoed the enterprise,
and said If the delegates met they
would resign. The delegates did meet
the Organization was formed, and the
principals did not resign.
