He knocked one of the trio out, but
the other two got the best of him.
Charles L. Smith, the florist, had a
similar experience the same night and

|, When l disclosed to my folk the
nature OF my visit to the commander
of the Twenty.fifth Battalion they
burst into tears. My poor mother
cried that her Mania must have gone
insane, that it was an unheard.of, i'm.
possible thing. Whoever knew of
baba going to war? She would allow
herself to be buried alive before let
ting me enlist. My father sustained
her. was their only hope now, they
said. They would be forced to starve
and go begging without my help. And
the house was filled with sobs and
walls, the two younger sisters and
some neighbors joining in.
My heart was rent in twain.~ II was
cruel, painful choice that was called
upon to make, a choice between my
mother and my country. II cost me
so much to steel myself for that new
life. and now, when l was seemingly
near the goal, my long.suffering mother
| called upon me to give up this ideal
that possessed me, for her sake. I
was tormented and agonized by doubt.
realized that must make a decision
quickly and. with supreme effort
and the help OF God. I resolved that
the call Of my country took precedence
over the call of my mother.
Some time later a soldier came to
| the house
rs Maria Botchkareva here?' he
! questioned.
| He came from headquarters with the
news that a telegram had arrived from
the Car, authorizing the commander
to enlist me as soldier. and that the
commander wanted to see me.
My mother did not expect such an
answer. She grew frantic. She cursed
the Car with all her might. although
she had always revered him as the
Little Father. What kind of a Car
is he?" she cried. "if he takes women
to war? He must have lost mis- senses.
Who ever heard of a Car calling
women to arms? Hasn't ne enough
men? Goodness knows, there are
myrlads of them in Mother Russia"
She seized the Cars portrait OH
the wall, before which she had crossed
herself every morning, and tore 1t to
bits, stamping them on the floor. with
imprecations and anathema on her
lips. Never again would she pray for
him, she declared. mo, never"
The soldiers message had an oppo-
site effect on me and was thrown
into high spirits. Dressing in my
holiday costume, went to see the
commander. Everybody at headquar-
ters seemed to know of the Cars

where. The commander congratulated
ME and read its text in solemn voice,
explaining that 1t was an eXtraordi.

called in TO help dissuade me from my
purpose.
Think what the men will do 70 a
lone woman in their midst" they
argued. They will kill you secret.
ly, and nobody will ever find a
trace OF you. Only the other day they
found the body OF a woman along tho
railroad track, thrown out of a troop
train. You always have been such a
level.headed girl. What has come over
YOU. And what will become Of your
parents? They are old and weak, and
you are their only hope. They often
said that when Marusia came back
they would end their lives in peace.

With heavy heart left the house

the company did not expect me, and
l had to explain to him why / could
not pass that night at home. He as.
signed me to a place in the general
bunk. ordering the men not TO molest
me. On my right and on my left we're
soldiers, and that first night in the
company of men will ever stand out In
my memory. I did not close my eyes
once during the night.

soldiers hands, ears and foot-rags
were inspected. I was In such haste
to be on time that put my trousers
on inside out, provoking a veritable
storm Of hllarity and paroxysms Of
laughter.
The day began with a prayer for the
Car and country. following which
every one of us received the daily
allowance of two-and.ahalf pounds Of
bread and a few cubes of sugar from
our respective squad commanders.
There were four squads to a com.
pany. Our breakfast consisted Of
bread and tea and lasted half an hour.
At the mess l had an opportunity
to get acquainted with some of the
more sympathetic soldiers. There
we're ten volunteers in my company
and they we're all students. After eat.
ing, there was rollcall. When the
officer reached my name he read
"Botchkareva," to which 1 answered,
Aye" We were then taken out for in
struction, since the entire regiment
had been formed only three days
previous. The first rule that the train.
ing officer tried to impress upon us
was to pay attention, watch his move-
ments and actions. Not all the re-
cruits could do It easily. I prayed God
to enlighten me in the study Of a
soldiers duties. .,
1t was slow work to establish proper
relations with the men. The first
few days I was such nuisance to the
company commander that he wished
me TO ask for dismissal. He limited
as much on a couple of occasions, but
I continued to mind my own business
and never reported the annoyances
endured from the men. Gradually
won their respect and confidence. The
small group Of volunteers always de-
Tended me. AS the Russian soldiers
call each other by nicknames. one Of
the first questions put to me by my
