What is commonly called "sor-
did money grubbing" is a mix
ture of many motives. Often a
business man who is said 10

IN THE recent military opera
Il tons in Russia, and par
ticularly in the retirement Of
the German armies from the
Volga to the .Dnieper, and now
on to the Pinsk marshes and
the Dniester, the Red armies
have been employing large
forces Of cavalry or CosSacks.
If the Russian advance con-
tinues we are likely 10 hear
more and more about these
Cossacks as they pursue and
hustle the Germans across Po-
land.
The Cossacks have held a
romantic place in history and in
our imaglnations ever since
their terrific pursuit and de-
struction of Napoleon's Grand
Army in its retreat from Mos
COW in the early winter of 1S12.-
The .CossackS are not race
nor particular stock within
the Russian people, but they
are special class and enjoy
many special privileges.
IN THE extraordinary ex-
L pansion of Russia into a vast
European and Asiatic empire,
they were largely the -instru-
ments Of these conquestS and
were settled in numerous COM
munities TO guard and hold the
frontiers.
The whole Of Siberia, an area
as large as Canada and the
northern third of the United
States, was conquered and ad-
-r1inistered by the CoSsacks.
There is a curious parallel IN
time between the Russian eX-
