of guns does not penetrate very loudly. No ven

remedy some Of the worst features of Russian
trench life, but modern is one of unbelievable
horrors not the least Of which is the insect pesti

Every ten days section of trench is cleaned up
and its occupants stripped, sprayed with an
insect destroyer brushed down with brooms given

AS the world knows, the Battalion of Death was
organized by Madame Vera Butchkaref who lived
In a small Cossack settlement In Siberia at the
outbreak of the war. When Madame Butchkareff's
husband killed in battle she formed the Legion
of Death, mainly to shame Russian men into ac-
ton, and partly to relieve the awful suspense and
monotony of village life far from the scene OF
strife. Therefore, in the original ranks of women
warriors were to be found hardy peasants from the
vast agricultural region of Siberia, and many such
belong to the present regiments of feni-
nine soldiers.
Far different from their once peaceful, remote
lives is the terrific action of the battlefront, where
instead of distant sparks of stars in quiet skies,
they witness clusters of shells Shrieking upward,
five minute and bursting around moving Speck
in the heavens-some arplane target for great
guns. Timed to explode at 5000 or 5000 feet, as
we'll as the distance of the plane can be gagged,
the shell turns to fall at the designated height and
shrapne sprays the night skies with vivid foun-
tains of flame.
