MURDER AND DESTROY

Captain NJ. A. Tarumianz, assistant
superintendent Of the Delaware State
Hospital, at Farnhurst. is native OF
riflis, Russian, who served two years
in the Russian Army at the beginning
Of the war. He tells Of experiences in
shallow trenches, without tin helmets,
up TO their knees in snow or water. and
with most OF the eating done at night.
He said that sometimes there was no
chance FOR food for several days at a
time.
He is a witness TO German barbarities
10 towns invaded, the usual story OF
loot, murder. destruction Of property
and assaults upon women.
At one time his regiment was forced
to retreat temporarily. They concealed
their wounded in a forest in charge OF
an heroic nurse When they returned IL
was 10 find the beautiful young woman
nurse raving maniac. She had been
assaulted by many German csvalrymen.
The Russian soldiers cried like children
over 'fhelr pure angel" as they called
her.
The captain gives the following in
stance OF Prusslan treschery:
Stopping one day In village we had
an interesting experience In the house
occupied by one OF the nurses, lived an
old woman, probably eighty years old.
She was apparently in great distress,
suffering aoutely Her husband still
older and crippled, went among the sol

in the woman and her Ills, asked me to
see her. l came and questiond her In
ierman-nO, she wanted nothing; there

as | started TO examine her, my nurse

was connected with the retreating
army. Two days after our arrival, the
Germans opened artillery fire on every
house, that contained an important part
n the regiment, thanks to that old man
md woman, who had given exact in
'ormstion as to our force.
The Russian soldiers would often buy
ANDY for German children out OF their
20 cents a month wages. or give their
tobacco 10 Hun prisoners, going with
out any themselves.
When we invaded East Prussia the
frst time, women, children and old men
lad remained there. They were kindly
treated by our regiment. We had strict
orders to be polite 10 them and 10 pay
for everything we took. When we
were Obliged to retreat quickly, much to
our surprise those same men and wo-
men shot at us from their houses. We
had not time 10 punish them then, but
we sent word that II we should return
we would punish them severely. With
in three weeks we were back. Large
Prussian cities like Lyck and Golab
were deserted, with the exception Of
few old people and dogs and cats. The
Inhabitants had fed in such haste that
in many houses dinner was left sersed

Vessels now in the port include flftyT
six steamships and six old-time square,
rugged craft. The foreign countries
represented are Great Britain, France
Italy. Japan. Norway. Sweden, Brazil,
Holland. Denmark and Greece.
TO the old mariners the most inter

their trim lines and big masts, now
taking cargo for foreign shores. Five
more OF these Old-timers are now on
their way here from ports in South
America with cargoes OF manganese
ore.
An interesting feature is the fact that
among the sixty-two vessels In port
twenty-four steamships fly the Ameri-
can flag and are engaged in the overseas
trade.
