Women Fight Women.

Petrograd. July 2s.-When the Rus
sian women's battalion, known Off
cially as the command of Death"
went into action against the Germans
near Smorgon Wednesday, they cap
tured a number of other women. from
whom they learned for the first time
that German women also are fighting
on the battle front in western Russia
Ten members of the heroic women's
battalion arrived here today, leaving
their commander. Vera Butchkareff,
wounded In the hospital at Vitebesk
On being interviewed, the women re-
ported that of the 200 of the command
who reached the front only 30 now
remained, Twenty were killed. eight
We're taken prisoner and the remainder
We're wounded
Several times" said one wounded
girl, we attacked the Germans.
Especially memorable was our attack
at the Novospassey wood, near Smor-
eon, when the enemy, hearing the
voices of girls, lost their nerve As a
result many Were killed, wounded or
taken prisoner. Among the prisoners
We're few women. from whom we
learned for the first time that German
women also were fighting.
We didn't feel the slightest fear for
our personal safety, in our passion to
serve the fatherland and we advanced
gladly against the foe, with laughter
and song. Our only unpleasant senti-
ment was when We first encountered
corpses on the ground.
'onoe, when replying to severe rifle
and machine gun fire from the enemy
we discovered. to our anlazement that
all of our men comrades in the neigh
boring trenches treacherously had fled,
leaving us, handful of women, TO
face the foe alone"
