Koronsky Not Interested.
Botchkareva gained the consent OF
kerensky, then minister of war, but
he never took much interest IN the
women's battalion, or in any OF the
womens regiments that were after
wards organized. once when we
were encamped back OF the lines on
the Dvinsk front Karensky visited
the staff headquarters, about two
miles distant The women expected
him TO inspect their battalion. but
he did not come Botchkareya saw
him at headquarters and he prom
ised her that he women should be
sent to the trenches very soon. They
were so delighted with tho promise
that they soon forgot their deep
disappointment at not seeing him.

We had been In camp week and

1t Is not necessary to repeat that

women led men into battle and won

Botchkareva told me yesterday
that she would never fight with wo-
men soldiers again. She Ia convinced
thatwomen are, with few exceptions,
unfit for warfare. Some Of her sol
diers turned on her, and she has
turned bitterly on some OF them. She
cannot speak with moderation Of
them. and that Is unfortunate for
her cause. She wants TO help Rus

grad. She was then organizing her
famous women's battalion OF death,
and she was having her troubles
! The Bolsheviki then being led in
secret by the men who later led
them openly. had heard with dismay
/ OF Botchkareva' audaclous plan OF
| forming an army unit OF women who
should shame deserving men into

aso well they might, that her plan
would be successful They did every

subordination in her ranks,
Woman Spy Thrown Out.
when I first made the acquaint-
ance OF the women's battalion Of
death and It's commander the Boil
sheviki leaders had succeeded In
planting one OF their spies in the
regiment, This was a redhaired
girl from Cronstadt, and In the
short time she remained she stirred
up rebellion that seriously threat
ened the existence OF tho corps, by
some means, which I never under
stood, the identity OF the spy be-
came known and she was thrown
out Of the barracks, Indeed, but
for the firmness OF BotchkareVa
those fierce young Amazons might
have done the spy violence.
Botchkareva insisted on allowing
the woman to go away unscathed,
rightly Judging that any other
course would bring discredit on the
battalion She has not invariably
been as discreet as that in her Judg-
ments.
The red-haired girl from Cron-
stadt worked up the rebellion by
telling the women soldiers that
Botchkareva was n tyrant and a
bully, and they, being unused TO
military discipline. were ready to
believe II. There Is no doubt that
the Nachalnik, or commander, as
she was called was autocratic and
dictatorlal, and sometimes she was
entirely unreasonable.
Had q Quick Temper.
Botchkareva is fond Of describing
herself as unfeminlne. but she GER
tainly possesses many OF the weak
nesses usually called feminine. She
has a quick temper and a quick re-
pentance after the temper. have
seen her discipline one of her SOL
diers in heat OF passion, and al
most before the singing rebuke was
out OF her mouth, throw her arms
around the culprit and kiss her, Per-
haps that kind OF a temper Is Rus
sian. 1t is feminine the world over.
After order was restored In the
battalion and Botchkareva had |
leisure to be communicative with
me, she told me many stories OF her
life in the army, and how she came
TO organize her womens regiment.
She Joined the army in 1915, after
her husband fell in battle, and the
remote village In which she lived
had been reduced TO extreme misery
The men gone, poverty overwh elmed
the families left behind. Typhus
came in and killed many. and to
Botchkareva the bitter reflection
came that war Is harder on women
than II Is on men.
They give men guns to fight
death with" she said to me, but
women simply sit and wait for
death"
She made up her mind that she
wouHp die, If die she must, fighting
for Russia. She Is almost unlet-
tered, but she managed to write
letter to the czar, naive document.
in which she set forth her claim to
a mans chance to fight death with

moment another picture Of her
flashing into my mind.

less than a year ago, when saw
Botchkareva made a comm issi oned

diers were clad in Khaki uniforms,
rather shabby, and about half the
girls wore, instead of army boots,
the women's shoes in which they had
enlisted. These women received
their boots only day or two before
they went into battle.
A Remarkable Woman.
That day in Petrograd Maria
Botchkareva was much thinner and
browner than she appeared yester-
day, but she was a gallant figure
as she walked forward, proudly yet
modestly. 10 receive from the mill
tary governor OF Petrograd her Of
ficer's sword and belt. was glad
yesterday that through all the ter
rible vicissltudes OF the Russian up
heaval her star has never been al
lowed 10 disa ppear, glad that the
friAQds of our-urhappy ally have
fotnd means of sending her to plead
their cause. 1t is a truly remarkable
woman who has come to America.
Maria Botchkareva has had
career as wildly romantic and i'm
probahls as any woman in history
In fact, her career is matched In
history only by Joan OF Arc and by
that eighteenth century Spanish nun
OF WHOM De Quincy wrote so we'll.
and who, like Maria Botchkareva,
had a distinguished military career.
Lieutenant-Colonel Botchkareva
never claimed to be the heaven-in-
spired saint, nor has she ever shown
herself the military strategist that
Jeanne dare was. She did not like
the Spanish nun, get into the army
in the disguise of man, nor did
she fisht as the Spanish woman did.
bscause she loved adventure. Like
