three months had spent in Tomsk as
q soldier were, after all. remote from
war. But now L felt so near to that
great experience. and 1t awed me. i
prayed to God to give me courage for
the new trials that were before me,
courage to live and die like a man.
There was great excitement in the
barracks the following morning. 1t
was the last that we were to spend
there. In full martial equipment we
marched to the Cathedral where We
were sworn in again. There was a
solemn service. The church was filled
with people, and there was an enorm-
Gus crowd outside. The bishop ad-
dressed US. He spoke of how the coun-
try was attacked by an enemy who
sought to destroy Russia, and ap-
pealed to US to defend gloriously the
Gar and the Motherland. He prayed
for victory for our arms and blessed
US.
There was a spiritual upheaval
among the men. We were all SO buoy
ant, SO happy, SO forgetful of our
own lives and interests. The whole
city poured out TO accompany us to
the station, and we were cheered and
sIStlcu Gil lLlG lOhAt- L hoN
never yet seen a body of men In such
high spirits as we were that February
morning. Woe to the Germans that
might have encountered US that day!
Such was Russia going to war in those
first months of the struggle. Hundreds
of regiments like our own were
streaming from east, north and south
to the battlehelds. 1t was an inspiring,
elevating. imperishable spectacle.
My mother felt none of the exalta-
tions that moved me. She walked
along the street, beside my line, weep
ing. appealing to the Holy Mother
and all the saints Of the church to
save her daughter.
Wake up! Marusia," she cried.
What are you doing?" But it was
too late. The ardor of war held me
securely in its embrace. Somewhere
deep in my heart my beloved moth
er's walls found an echo, but my eyes
were dImmed with tears of JOY. And
only when I bade my mother good
by. hugging and kissing her for what
she felt was the last time, and board
ed the train. leaving her on the plat
form in a heap frantic with grief, did
my heart quiyer in my breast and a
tremor shake me from head to foot.

satisfied, assigning us to the Seventh
Division which was situated several
versts distant. The commander Of the
division. by the name OF Walter, was
of German blood and a rascal of the
first rank. We were placed, during the
night, In the woods back of the fight
ing line.
In command of the reserves was
colonel named Stubendorf. also of
German blood. but a decent and popu-
lar officer. When informed that
woman was in the ranks of the newly
arrived regiment, he was amazed.
"A woman!" he cried out, "she can't
be permitted to remain. This regi-
ment is going into battle soon, and
women were not made for war"
There was heated discussion be-
tween him and Commander Grisha-
ninoy. which ended In an order for my
appearance before him. 1 received
thorough test and passed 1t well.
Asked If I wanted to take part in the
fight, 1 replied affirmatively. Mutter-
ing his wonderment, Col. Stubendorf
allowed me to remain till he looked
into the matter further.
A big battle was raging at the time
on that section of the front. We were
told to be ready for an order to move
at any moment to the front line.
Meanwhile, we were sheltered in dug
outs. My company occupied ten OF
these, all bomb-proof, though not in
first-class condition. They were cold
and had no windows. As soon as day
broke we busted ourselves with cut
ting windows, building fireplaces, re-
pairing the caved-in ceilings of tim
Der and sand, and general houseclean-
ing. The dugouts were constructed in
rows, the companies of odd numbers
being assigned to the row on the right,
while those of even numbers went to
the left. Signs were posted on the
streets and each company had a SEN
tinel on duty.
Our position was eight versts behind
the first line of trenches. The boom
ing OF the guns could be heard in the
distance. Streams of wounded, some
ON vehicles and others treklzing along
on foot, flowed along the road. We
drilled most of the time the second
day, watched by Col. Stuoendorf. He
must have kept a close eye on me, for
at the end of the drilling he called me,
praised my efficiency, and granted me
permission to stay in the ranks.

SUES MOVIE MAN
FOR HEART BALM
Shattered Marital Hopes, Mis-
placed Confidence and An
guish Alleged by Woman
100000 AMOUNT SOUGHT

As the result of alleged breach OF
promise, Cathleen Carroll Evans has
entered suit to obtain 100000 from
Melville S. Forester, chief director OF
the Universal Film Company. She esti-
mates his fortune at $3.50, 900 and says
he owns property of considerable value
In Los Angeles and Hollywood, Calf.
The plaintiff says she became ac-
quainted with Forester on Nocember
30, 1918, and that he Immediately paid
her ardent court. He professcd love
time and again, she AYERS, and in sup
port of this Miss Evans explains she
has not only one billet D'Amour from
the movie director. but many. OF
course, these asserted endearing mis-
sives must be kept concealed until the
jury has had a chance to hear them
read before Judge Shoemaker, in Court
Of Common Pleas No. 1.
Miss Evans declares that her wedding
day was to have been last Christmas,
hut that before the arrival of that fcs
tival Forester affections cooled, and
she is now convinced that she has been
trihed with and that the defendant never
was sincere in his declarations of love
and affection. For the asserted dis
appointment and deep humiliation she
has suffered, Miss Evans demands the
damages.
Judge Shoemaker, before whom the
plaintiffs affidavit was submitted, al
lowed a capias against Forester, and
fixed his bail at $500.

in little more than sixteen hours, bring

Mrs. Consumer for use at the next

That was the record on one Of six
trips last week, and it illustrates the
value of the United States rural motor
truck parcel post system, which, while
in existence for more than a year, has
just been directed toward a new field
and that, the farm to city kitchen

plan is being whipped rapidly into

with the postoffice acting as interme-
