WOMEN FIGHTING IN
GERMAN ARMY RANKS
Vera Butchkareff's Com
mand of Death Brings in
Female Prisoners.

PetroErad, Friday, July 27.-When
the Russian womens battalion, known
as the Command of Death, went
into action against the Germans near
Smorgon July rs, they captured a
number Of women, from whom it was
learned for the first time that German
women also were fighting on. the bat
tie front in Russia.
Ten wounded heroines of the wom-
ems battalion arrived in Petrograd
today leaving their commander, Vera
Butchkareff and Maya Skrdloff,
daughter of Admiral Skrdloff, former
commander Of the Baltic fleet and
minister of marine, in hospital at
Vitesk.
Interviewed the women said it was
reported that Of the 200 of the COM
mand who reached the front only SO
returned Twenty were killed. eight
were taken prisoner ana all the rest
were wounded.
Several times,' said one wounded
girl, 1--WE attacked the Germans. Espe-
cially memorable was our attack at
Novos Passky 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 prisoner. Among
the prisoners were a few women from
whom we learned for the first time
that German women also were fight
ing.
1--WE did not feel the slightest fear
for 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 in the neighboring trenches had
treacherously fled, leaving us, a hand
full of men-to face the enemy
alone" 4HF

CHICAGO SWITCHMFN
GO out ON STRIKE
Shipments of Perishable
Goods, Including Foods,
Under Embargo.

Chicago, July 2s.-The strike of
switchmen. belonging to the brother
hood of railway trainmen which was
called yesterday became effective at
a.. m. today on 19 railroads enter
ing the Chicago district.
At that hour it was impossible to
say, representatives both of the
switchmen and railroads declared,
whether all of the 2,5OO men belong
ing to the order would go out as the
men report for work in shifts.
The first report came from the Van
Buren, street yards Of the Chicago
and Atom, where about 200 men failed
to report for work.
OF the $500 switchmen employed in
the Chicago switching district, accord
ing to the general managers commit
tee, $500 belong to the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen, $500 to the
switchmen's Union of America and
1900 are either non-union or belong
to other labor organizations.
James Murdock, vice president of
the Brotherhood in stating the
grievances of the men said they de-
cided to strike after certain rules long
contended for had been denied.
The railroad managers assert that to
agree to the demands Of the Brother
hood would establish a closed shop,
which would cause a strike of men,
bers Of the Switchmen's Union of
America
The ganeral managers conference
committee, representing all the rail-
roads affected, as soon as the strike
was called declared an embargo on all
shipments of perishable goods and
livestock until the strike is settled.
Although the strike technically is
local it will have national scsope to
the extent that it may delay traffic on
all trans-continental roads passing
through Chicago.
After receiving the strike notice the
general managers committee appealed
to George w. Hanger member OF the
federal bureau of mediation and con-
ciliation, who Is here attempting to
settle differences between the Rock
Island roadroad and its telegra pliers,
to use his efforts to avert a strike
Washington, July 2S.-Commis-
sioner William l.. Chambers of the

was kept in close touch in the Chicago
situation unable to be there because
of other engagements.
Officials looked upon the strike with
some uneasiness in view Of its prob
able effect in delaying important war
shipments.

Joseph HaTubin, Aged z
Years, I Months, Dies
Of HydTophobia After Three
Days Of Agony

Joseph Harubin, aged two years
parents at sol North Burritt street,
died in terrible agony this morning
of hydrophobia while DR.. T. e. Reeks,
superintendent of health, was at the
Hartford hospital arranging for a
special nurse and private room for
the care of the little patient. This is
the first death in this city from the
dreaded rabies in many years.
The little Harubin boy was bitten
on June 12, when a stray dog, which
is presumed to have been afflicted
with rabies, ran upon the front porch
where the child was playing and bit
him on the face. The wound was not
bad one and soon healed, the par
cnts giving no further thought to the
incident. Three days ago the child
began to develop alarming symptoms
and later DR.. Henry T. Bray was
called in on the case. He diagnosed
the ailment as hydrophobia and at
once communicated with the health
department. Although everything
life. the disease had gone too far and
death came even while the doctors
were arranging for further treat
ment.
Mrs. Harubin states that after the
dog bit her little son it ran across
the street and attacked a dog owned
by Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski. In view
of this assertion the authorities are
to make rigid investigation and viii
quarantine this animal and any 9TH
ers that are known to have been In
contact with either dog. After the
mad dog had made these two at
tacks on Burritt street neighbors
chased the animal from the neighbor-
hood and, it is reported in the COM
munity. the animal finally ran to it's
home on Beaver street. On this same
date Police Officer William J. Hayes
shot a dog on Beaver street and the
authorities believe that it was the
same animal. Because there was no
reason to believe at the time that the
animal was affected with the rabies
no test for this disease was made.

Will Not Break Existing Agree
ment With Other Countries
NO 'SCRAP OF PAPER
Foreign Relations Committee to On.
pose Chamberlain Resolution for
Seizure of Aliens-Prohibition Ser.
ton Still Under Discussion.

Washington, July 2s-Congress
leaders have been advised that tho
administration has no objection to
legislation authorizing the negotia-
ton of treaties to apply the army
draft law to alien subjects in this
country. but is opposed to action by
congress which would make such
aliens subject to compulsory draft
without regard to existing treaties. A
resolution along those lines will be
reported next week.
The foreign relations committee
will oppose the resolution by Sena-
tor Chamberlain, approved by the
senate military committee, proposing
to draft subjects of the European al
lies unless it provides for treaty
changes.
The prohibition and food sections
involved in the food control bill were
among those awaiting final disposi-
ton when senate and house conferees
resumed their labors today
SThe senate finance committee today
continued work toward revising the
war tax bill in the light of the new
estimates. It is expected that the
bill, which now totals about $1,670,-
$4,000 will raised be about $33O,OO0,-
900 chiefly through imposition Of In
creased excess profits and possibly to-
bacco taxes. This would leave bal
ance of about $5,00O,000,00O of new
expense to be raised by bonds. There
is much sentiment in the senate to
have the new bonds in serial form and
at four per cent interest.
Favorable report has been ordered
by the senate military committee on
the bill to restore American citizen
ship to Americans who foreswore
their allegiance in order to enlist
under the Allies. Several thousand
Americans are affected.
