Petrograd, June 1S.--The substitu-
tion Of the voluntary salute for the

army is significant Of the abandon

Of these was the Emperor Paul's fa-
NOUS regiment of snub-nosed men,
who were all brigaded together as a
sort of compliment to their sovereign
who was a snub-nosed man.
The Russian army in the old days
frequently collected together into reg

by certain classes of physical deforni
ties and idiosyncracies. Thus. there
were regiments of men all badly pock
marked. or all bow-legsed. or al
