WHERE HER SYMPATHY GOES

 When he is downtown, telling everybody how devoted his wife has been to her country, at the expense of her health. his wife is at home wringing her hands.
 And there isn't 8 solitary thing for her to do except the things every wom- an did up to the time that war wiped i, off the face of the world and drew some amazing new eyes and ears and 1 things. And she is perfectly indignant now at being expected to do those same little humdrum tasks. Responsibility and to a man, but they go double with | a woman.
 'grhe chief trouble is she doesn't real ly know what she does want. It isn't that she yearns to pass the rest of her life at committee meetings and desks. She wouldn't object to the tasks of

 be to have somebody turn on the photograph before she starts marching
 to the kitchen to deliver orders for the

 To march for four or five days over snow trails, sleep on the cold. hard

They have fought with signal bravery. when greatly out numbered and when support, because of the weather conditions or the trails. failed to reach them.

 "A somewhat angular architecture betokened Libau's divergence from the prevailing type of Russian cities. Other evidences, ranging from it's non- Slavic population, including many Jews, to it's street signs in Russian, German and Lettish, gave testimony that it was Russian by adoption.

In a very literal sense the Germans who made up the order came not to bring peace but a sword and the only accept death or the perverted Chris tianity of the conquerors. Gradual ly they learned that conversion mean virtual slavery Whereupon many of the more spirited bathed again in the Dvina to undo their en- forced baptism and returned to their pagan worship.
 Early in the fifteenth century Ili- bau was burned by the Lthuanians and 15O years later was given in pawn to Prussian duke.
 Concerned in Libaus history were two of Europe's most kingIy mon archs. Peter the Great, or Russia and Charles XII Sweden. The latter intensively trained for states manship and precocious, as was Gus tavus Adophus, but destined to be a soldier, captured Libau in 1701 and assessed its citizens to help fortify it.
 Peter the Great while travelling about Europe to acquire such useful even if unllignly. arts as ship build ing, engraving, physiology, and gun nery. stopped at Libou. The house where he stayed was pointed out to the prewar visitors to Libau. Tn 1795 Libau became a Russian town. Seventeen years later Mac donald. who had won marshals baton at Wagram by piercing the Austrian center and saving the day for the French, occupied the city with the Prussian Allies of \apoleor in the disastrous Moscow campaign "A channel connecting the sea ant i lake was dug in 1703 and the moderr l town grew on both banks of this ar | tlticial waterway.

 It was largely due to the "bluff'' of a young Russian naval officer in com mand of one of the little allied steam CTS on the Dvfna river that the original allied expedition up that river from Archangel was not wiped out by the bolsheriki in the early phases of the northern Russia campaign.
 The Dvina expedition 133 strong. went pokins it's way nonchslant1v LID the broad river aboe rd two or three funny looking river steamers. on which field pieces and machine guns had been mounted.
