THIS STARTS THE STORY.

In the summer Of 1871 Mar1s
Botchkareva formed the Battalion
of Death, a womAn's fighting unit
In the Russian army. and thus a
peasant girl stepped into the In
ternational hall OF fame. This n
her story. In earlier installmsnts
she told OF her childhood: OF the
brutalities OF her married life, ho
attempt to commit suicide 20 es-
cape a cruel husband. and her nnal
success in evading him She told
OF her many molestations at the
hands Of officials. soldiers and how
abe was trapped in a house OF
shame by promises Of work. In
desperation she attempted suicide
a second time. A man interTened-
She grew to like him and they lived
together by civil agreement She
lived happily with him for three
years when a revolutionist sought
refuge at their home. The political
refugee and husband fed when d1-
covered by the authorities. They
were caught IN their night. She and
her husband became separated. She
located him In a prison and set out
TO carry her appeal to the governor,
Arriving in Siberia. the husband
was threatened with further exile
to the most desOlate of prison
camps. Maria Botchkareva inter
ceded and had TO deal with a hber-
tine governor. Her husband WAS
given his liberty. but the price was
that she was drugged and shamed
by the governor. She attemped
suicide by drinking poison. When
the husband learned OF the outrage
he attempted 70 kill the governor,
for which act he was again eN-
lied. The husband grew to be a
worthless gambler. In a rage he al
one time hung his wife, but she
was rescued in time 10 save her
life. Maria BatChkareva could not
longer endure his brutality. Rum
blings OF the world war had
reached far Of Siberia Maria de-
cided to leave her husband and en-
list. She was rejected because she
was a woman. She appealed TO the
Gar. Her appeal was granted
She went to the front. She was
decorated for rescuinC fifty wound
ed comrades under fire. She was
wounded on several occasions.

TEN AMERICANS LOOKED LIKE TEN HUNDRED
SOLDIERS TO THOSE GERMANS

Editors Note-Secretary Of
War Baker recently cabled Gem
eral Pershins asking him to re-
cord the most gallant and heroic
exploits of Individual American
soldiers in the wnr. From the
Generals cabled reply the ten
most thrilling stories have been
selected by The Washington
Herald and will appear exclus-
lively i'm this paper.
These stories read like ne
tion-like implausib1e, impos-
sible fiction at that. But they
are true stories of red-blooded,
stout-henrted Americans who
went over there to ffght our bat
ties, and who have given 30
excellent an accounting. They
tell the deeds of valor unsur-
passed In all the annals of
bravery.
The frst story of the series
of ten follows herewith.
Machine guns and German no
vitzers mean nothing in the lifk OF
Capt. George H. Mallon, of Kahsas
city, Mo.

WILL KEEP CLOSE WATCH
OF CADDIE'S TIME HERE

'Lapsed time" as relating to cad.
lie service is one Of the economic
problems which Josiah Collins, prest-
ient of the Seattle Golf Club, is seek
ng a solution OF. This is the time
hat the bag-toter allows TO intervene
between having his ticket stamped a.
he caddie house and finding the man
or whom he is assigned to work.
Collins hopes to determine not only
he Stacker but all honest efforts to
luickly find the player arc to be
dequately awarded with q whi.e
lark. New tickets providing for such
heckInG Of the caddie have appeared
u the club.
1t now becomes the duty OF every
player TO sign the boys ticket, in
dicattng the time the lad appeared
TO claim the bag OF clubs. II must
be understood that the Seattle Golf
Club member pays his caddie On
the basis Of time
Slackers receive their tickets and
spend all the time they can deliberate
ly steal rambling around seeking the
player TO whom they have been as
signed. Under the new system the;e
will be a clear indication OF the time
the boy spends In searching, due al
lowance being made for the distance
the player is from the caddie house.

"Yes, know the outlook is rosy, +"
he said 1T was last year, too. But
nevertheless, I do not believe that the
bill viii go through"
why do you think that way@ was
asked Of him.
Because of the upstate lesis-
lators. Advocates of these measures
do not understand those up the State
While everybody in New York city
and other big cities in the State Is
probably strongly in favor Of such a
measure being enacted. the up-Staters
and particularly the farmers are not
and they will probably kill the bill
when Il comes up. It is the same way
year after year. I myself would vote
for such a bill. as would many others
that I know of, but you must hrst
get the bill to vote on II. And even
then you are not sure that il will be
passed"
Coming from such a learned politi-
cian, this certainly Is not eneourag-
ing. However, several factors have
entered this year to increase the
chances of the Sunday ball bill sue
ceeding. The first big reason is the
soldiers They are as one, practically,
AOI Bd9CBaAA- II " - 70 TO- "
to convince them that baseball should
not be played on Sundays after what
they have been through. They de-
mand such a measure and many OF
these soldiers hail from up the state
Many argue that prohibition, will
necessitate such a bill IL the number
Of crimes committed IS not to be in
creased. Another argument that will
be used is that Sunday baseball was
inaugurated at Washington last year
with the approval OF President VIII
son. and resulted only in good for the
city.
Christy Mathewson. Johnny Evers.
as well as others prominent in base
ball, are going TO be on hand 10 spon-
sor the movement Several judges
OF the local courts are also goinG to
attend the meeting and. by rallying
all the forces together, it is hoped TO
go over the top with the bill.
