a soldier with the bine Chasseurs.
She has been foremost in every battle
with the regiment to which she has
attached herself. Many time she
has been wounded when on her er-

front, she was in tie thick and thin of

bursting shells.
Fortunately her wounds were slight,
and not to hamper the surgeons at the
hospitals she retired to her own home
to nurse her injuries. For her heroic
services she was well rewarded, hav-
ing received many decorations, among
them the Croix de Guerre, with silver
clasps.
The chasseurs were transferred to
the Flanders front, and one day while
busy on the battlefield shell splinter
injured her on the forehead just over
the eye, which made it necessary for
her to be brought to a hospital, where
she could be under constant observa-
ton. Here she was frequently visited
by civil and military officials, and as
reward for her heroic deed she was
decorated with the cross Of the Legion

Hearst's Magazine:
There is place on the Trans

No. 81, brown little speck on the
illimitable emptiness OF the Siberian
plains. On the 23d of May there came
marching up to it a procession OF
farmers-about forty of them, l think
carrying red flags. They tramped
solemnly along what in Siberia, by
violence of speech, is called road,

Most Popular War Cry.

The most popular war cry Is "Hur-

origin. It is found in various forms in
Swedish and Danish (hurra), German
(hurrah). French (houra), Russian
(ura). Some connect it with such
words as hurry" "whirl;;" the mean
Ing would then be haste" to encour-
age speed or onset in battle. The
Russian soldiers adopted "hurrah" In
the War of Liberation (1812-13), and
since then it has become a favorite
battle cry all over Europe. 1t seems,
however, that the word Is pure Sla-
vonian, for it is commonly heard from
the coast of Dalmatia to Behring strait,
where any Of the Slavic population
within the limits are called on to give
proof of courage and valor.
