THIS STARTS THE STORY

In the summer Of 1917 Maria
Batchkareva formed the Battalion Of
Death, womau's fighting unit IN
the Russian army, and peasant
girl thus stepped into the interna-
tional hall of fame. In the earlier
installments she told Of the hard
ships OF her childhood the brutali-
ties of her married life, and the
realization of her wish tU become a
soldier. She told of battles fought
and won and of the decentralization OF
the army after the overthrow OF the
Car. 1t was her desire TO shame
the men into action that prompted
the formation of the battalion which
leaves Petrograd amid the plaudits
of the multitude. At NIolodechno,
however, where Bolshevism has laid
its hands on the army the women of
the battalion are badly treated.
Botchkareva addresses the disorder
ly soldiers and asks them when she
had earned their sCorn and derision.
