to move out that night. We slip
ped quietly out of our position
just before midnight and a French
battery moved into the place va
Gated by us. The next day was
spent in some woods behind the
lines, where We were very busy
gett ing things in shape for a
long hike.
Whispered words went the
rounds that a big drive was to
take place somewhere up north
and that we were to be right IN
inc hick of The battle. An air of
mystery lowered over everything.
Neighbor spoke to neighbor in an
awed tone and all speculated as
to where We were going. We felt
that at last we were to become a
part Of the big show. 1t mattered
not where we were going, just so
we got into big action. We be-
came happy again and felt proud
of our outfit.
Things happened quickly now.
All became rush and hurry. The
utmost secrecy shrouded every
order and move. After dark we
set out and forced marching sent
us steadily toward the North. tn
next day we hid in the woods,
groomed horses, and secured what
little rest we could. Night after
night we pushed on as fast as
horse flesh could and human en-
durance could stand it. We were
thankful now for all the hardened
seasoning we had, for our endur-
ance was taxed to the utmost. No
lights were allowed on the march,
not cigarette could be smoked.
Airplanes lowered constantly oy-
erhead as if trying to detect us.
Chow was very scarce but no one
grumbled any more. How it rain
ed! We were soaked to the skin.
All our extra clothes were wet.
Still it rained and we pushed on
in the darkness. Our feet blister
ed, our backs ached, we needed
sleep, we were hungry, but on we
went. Horses gave out and were
left behind or shot. Men limped
along, now helping shove ear
riage out of the mud where it was
stuck, now giving a lift to a com
rade who was about all in. No
one was willing to drop out. Ev-
eryone was cheerful and happy
How human endurance stood it
all will never be known.
Other outfits were moving the
same direction. Artillery and
more artillery filled all the roads.
A seething mass of soldiers was
pushing on at night, with day
break not soul was to be seen.

We had begun to wonder if we
ever were to get out of those rat
and cootie infested dugouts be-
fore the end of the war. 1t had
begun to rain and we were in mud
up to our ankles. Everyone grum
bled at the fate holding us there.

UNIQUE CONTRASTS
IN RUSSIAN LIFE
Writer Says Ideas Borrowed
From Abroad Are Not Ad-
justed Easily at Home.

ARCHANSEL, December 26, via
London, February 20 Correspondence
Of the Associated Press).-An inter
esting insight into the views of a
Russian leader on the troubles and
failings Of his own people is given
by President Nicholas B. Tchaikov-
sky Of the northern region in an arti-
nell the newspaper for American SOL
diers. published at ArchangeL
Writing for the members of the
American expeditionary force Presi-
dent Tchaikovsky said: "It is true
that Russian culture is very recent
and lacks the brilliancy and accom-
plishment that are so characteristic
of the large American cities. 1t is
particularly noticeable that what we
borrow from abroad does not easily
adjust itself to our foundations. But,
as IL afraid to be left behind by our
more progressive neighbors, we have
acquired this foreign superstructure
without having first properly prepared
the foundation.
Differences Are Striking.
THUS we had brilliant electric
lighting in our capitals long ago.
whereas the peasants in the villages
have only recently ceased using wood
splfnters to light their huts. Our
universities and scientists are well
known throughout the world, while
scarcely 80 per cent OF our country
folk are able to read and write.
In our social and political life one
observes the same popularity For
more than fifty years we lived under
rule OF veritab1e slavery to bureau
Gratis. imperial gendarme and police,
being deprived Of the most elementary
rights Of citizenship. But at the same
political and socfafistic doctrine,
whose exponents sought an immedi-
ate snswer to the social problems and
the adoption OF ideal methods of dis
tribating the wealth Of the country.
Indifferent to Own Interests.
TN q word, we have been very anx-
ious to absorb the latest ideas of
western civilization without being at
in our own life. We have always been
more concerned with the affairs of
the wide world than with the crying
needs and faults Of our own nation.
We have actually learned to be in
d1nerent to our own national inter-
ests and ashamed to be patriotic.
Unfortunately, some of our splen-
lid natural gifts, our achievements
in art, music and literature, have
given us some of the conceit that we
have been called upon to teach other
nations how to solve their most diff
ficult and complicated problems. Thus
1t is said that Lenin. according to his
own statement, undertook SO daringly
his dangerous experiment with our
Russian affairs not so much for our
own sake as to teach q lesson to all
mankind. Leaving aside his other
motives. 1t would be difficult to find
a better personiflcation of vanity and
coneeit''
