FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1917 THE EB7IE w : REim v'i ' K. V G PAGE FIVE SINGINC NEW WAR ART FOR THE TROOPS ABROAD When W. Hohenzolleru of Potsdam put winging lessons In the curriculum of his soldiers' training: a tremor of military giggle was beard around the world. Three years ago, when Mars xmlled at the sight of those same sol diers marching to the frontiers eust, south and west under the throaty bar rage of "Peutschland, Deutschland fber Alles," the derisive giggles began to die out until now they are not. It must be admitted that It was a cnse of be who laughs first lives to yodel. All of which Is somewhat distantly related to the fact that the American soldiers in France are not only sing ing as they train, but are actually be ing trained to sing. One of our officers tnld: "We are training with the 'blue dev ils,' and they certainly deserve their name. They are the toughest set of undersized gentry that I have run into In Franco. "They bared to the waist and went through three hours of grenade and bombing practice that was the last word in strenuoslty. Then we watched them as their commander assembled them for the march back to the vil lage. At the command 'Attention!' their heels clicked, their heads went back, their chins up. and their right hands were pasted rigidly against their right trousers legs. "At command, 'March!' all of them Started off, punctuating their first step with the first word of their marching song. It was not any sickly chorus either. There was plenty of beef and Jung power behind every note. My men, however, lined up opposite, were not missing a bit of it. Most of them peemed to know what was expected when I said: 'On the command to march the company will begin to sing, keeping time with the music. The first sergeant will announce the song.' - "The first sergeant responded with out a change of color, as if the com Jnand to sing was an old regulation. I know that he was puzzled, but he did It well. The name of the song was passed down the line from man - to man. When I gave the order to march the company, almost half of them new recruits, wheeled in squads of fours find started off down the road singing. Hail, hall, the gang's all here!' "We swung Into camp that night with every voice raising lustily on 'A grasshopper hopied on a grasshopier's back, and after dinner the billets just spouted melody, everything, from rag time to Christmas carols and baby lul labies. "I have found that, while a song that has snap and a swing to it is the most popular on the march, a sentimental love ballad is a sure winner In the cool of the er en in g."

Co., "Service Is It" If You Want to Buy a House or Farm SEE US. If You Want to SeD i Your House or Farm Russia's women soldiers have pledg ed themselves to take their own lives rather than become German war pris oners. Each woman Boldler carries a ration of cyanide of potassium, to be swallowed in case of capture. The members of the women regi ments, now constantly increasing, agreed that death was to be preferred to the fate they would probably meet at the bauds of the Germans. The "Legion of Death"' fighters are ' good killers." From a woman's lips a correspondent beard how she had run a German through with her bayonet, firing the rifle at the same time. From others he heard how these women and girls, fresh from comfortable homes and universities, went leaping over mangled bodies in the charge, wltV enemy shells bursting all about them. To S It Throuflh. But these harrowing exjieriences of the women fighters have steeled them and hundreds of other girls to a new determination to see it through. Girl soldiers drilling in the streets are now a common sight in Petrograd. Huge crowds gather daily about the engi neers' school, where 1,000 girls are drilling preparing to go to the front. In Moscow 1,000 men are training, while Kiev and Odessa have smaller bands. Tremler Kerensky has also au thorized the formation of women ma rine detachments and has promised to assign them to ships. The new women commands attempt no sort of decora tion. Their beads are shaved, and they wear the regulation uniform. Including the heavy, ugly army boots. The five women fighters at the hos pital were partially paralyzed by shell shock. One of them, a peasant girl, smiled Joyously as she pointed to a German helmet on the bed beside her. It was the first war prize of a Russian woman. "It Was His Life er Mine." "I saw a German in front of me as I ran forward with the others in the charge," she snid. "It was his life or mine. I raised my rifle. I plunged with all my strength. I stabbed him. The bayonet went deep into his body. At the same moment I pulled the trig ger. He dropped dead. Then I took his hat as a souvenir." The girl soldier smiled with delight. "What was the battle like?" another of the legionnaires was asked. "I was very nervous just before the charge," she replied. '"We l;:.cw the order was coming, and naturally we were just a little scared. But as soon as the orders to go forward came we forgot everything else la the advance. "I could hear our girls yelling and shouting throughout the march for ward. None of us were afraid once we get started. We were in the midst of a great fusillade of shots. Then ter rific big shells began breaking all around us. Storias of the Fight. "We were again frightened a little when we first saw dead men about, but before very long we were Jumpbag over the dead and quickly forgot all about them." "We couldn't tell what was going on anywhere," said a third girl in describ ing the final stages of the battle. "Commander Boehkoreva was every where, urging us to fight and die like real Russian soldiers." Then the girl told how the legion took Its first prisoners. "As we ran forward we suddenly came upon a bunch of Germans Imme diately ahead of us. It was only a sec ond until we were all around them. Germans Surprised. "They saw they were caught and wrew aown tueir nnes, noiaing up their hands. They were terribly fright ened. " "Good God.' Women!" they ex claimed. "We saw wounded German soldiers raising themselves on their elbows and shooting," Interjected another wound ed girl. "We Just forgot ourselves en tirely. We were simply Russia, fight ing for her life, ' "The loss of Lena, the most popular member of our company, was keenly felt by all of us," she added soberly. "During the battle Lena heard that Commander Boehkoreva bad been kill ed. She hurried forward into the shell fire, saying she was going to find her. We saw her go through jue space lit erally strewn with exploding shells; then through the smoke and flames we I saw her blown to fragments. "We also lost Sonia. She used to be a musician with the Romanoff concert organization. She was killed by ma chine gun fire." Five of the German prisoners the girls captured were women, wearing the German soldier's uniform. The number of women in all armies on the eastern front is believed to be growing steadily. u YOU SAVE MONEY BUYING AT S. HEINE R & COMPANY ' " - ' '.
