Chicago Daily News.
WITH THE RED ARMY ON THE
RzHEV FRONT.-In the course OF
my rather variegated journalistic
gypsying, Capt. Emma will remain
unique as the only person who has
ever translated to me in three
languages at once-at any rate, al
most in one breath and all in the
same paragraph.
Emma usually starts in French or
Spanish, slips over into the other
Latin tongue whenever the going
seems easier. and then throws in q
few 12-syllable jawbreakers in Ger
man when things begin to get COM
phcated. If I could grasp italian,
she'd mix In some of that to COM
plete the linguistic cocktail.
But Capt. Emma is distinguished
for much harder accomplishments
than this. She was the first woman
to be assigned as commissar with
front-line units of the Red Army
and she has served in front zones
most of the time since the German
invasion began.
She was wounded in action and
she wears the decoration OF the Red
Star. She, her husband and her
son. who was then 16, all voluntar-
lily enlisted in the Russian Army in
the first week of war. Capt. Emma's s
husband has since been killed Her
son is soldier in her own regiment
here on the Rzhev front.
She Looks About 30.
1t Is not strictly correct to call
Emma Wolf captain. She's really
a "politruk," which Is the Soviet
abbrevia ton for political leader. But
In the Red Army politruk has the
same rank as the captain Of a COM
pany. For an American it seemed
much simpled to describe Politruk
Wolf as a captain. After all, there
are plenty of captains all over the
map who have done much less fight
ing and much less leading than
Capt. Emma has.
You might not guess it at first
glance. She's just a slender mite of
a woman; not more than S feet 2, I
suspect, nor much over 100 pounds
in weight. She's dark-eyed, viva
cious and her hair still has a short
mannish cut because it all had to be
shaved off when she had typhus.
You would take her to be about 80.
but Emma laughs and says you d
better add 10 years to that figure. 1t
would take particularly bold or
foolhardy person to suggest to Capt.
Emma that woman nearing 40
might be too old to fight in a war.
Learned How to Hate.
Before this war, Emma was in
Spain. Her husband was one of
those anti-Fascist italians who
Joined the Garibaldi Battalion of
the International Brigade, so Emma
went along, too. Once she was ap-
parently cut off in Bilbao but she
escaped on a submarine and at the
wars end she got out to France in
one of the last Loyalist airplanes.
The Fascists, first in Italy, then in
Spain, taught Emma how to hate
have noticed there are extremely
few good soldiers who don't know
how to hate.

SOLDIERS FAMILIES

Il may be better than nothing,
but it seems all out of line with
high wazes and high costs that
Congress should consider legislation
for compulsory allotment Of pat OF
soldiers and sailors pay 10 their
families. The government should
provide family contributions, whe. e
warranted. in addition TO the little
paid soldiers.
There should be ample aid for
married men with children who will
be called. With the objective now
10 increase the Army TO 100000 by
December ! and with an army oil
5000 600 contemplated. It Is ineVita-
Die that large mum bers OF married
men will be drafted.
The bill proposed by Senator
TAFT OF Ohio would provide for com
pulsory allotment OF one half the
pay %. soldier or sailor TO a vile,
a child. or a divorced wife up 10
the extent OF a court order. Ailot-
mcnt 70 an illegitimate child also
would be controlled by conrt decree.
In addition 10 this payment the sen
stor you'd have the government pay

for one child. il there is no wife,

four children, il there is no wife.
Thus with a private being paid

ice. a wife would receive 1880. Or
half his pay, and $50 from the gov
eminent.
Legislation increasing pay OF pri-
Yates and enlisted men to s42,
raises the allotment, but that Is not
enough. Why should a soldiers
family suffer while wives OF men
az home enjoy more luxury than
ever before? The fact that men are
willing to serve without complaint
and practically without pay is no
