It, left their dirty underwear there,
receiving In exchange clean linen.
AVhen a company was about to leave

There was nothing that tho soldleis

so ermln ridden were tho trenches,
and so great was their suffering on
this account.
VOlWDED AND PARALYZED
Towards winter we were moved to
a place called Zelcnoye l'olte. There
I whh placed In charge of twelo
stretcher bearers and sered In tho ca
pacity of medical assistant for bIx
weeks, exercising the authority ot
sending 111 soldiers to tho hospital and
of granting a few days' rest from duty
to the Indisposed.
Our positions ran through an aban
doned country estate. The manor lay
between the lines. Wo were on the
top ot the hill, while tho Germans
occupied the low ground. We could,
therefore, obseno their movements
and they. In turn, watch us. If anv
one on either side raised his head he
became the mark of somo sniper.
It whs In this place that our men
fell lctluis to a high olllcet's treason.
There hnd been rumors aplenty In the
trenches of pro-Herman officials In tho
army and the court AVc had our sus
picions, too, nnd now they wcro con
firmed In a shocking manner.
General AValter paid a visit to the
front line IIo was known to be of
German Mood and his harsh treat
ment of tho soldiers won for him the
cordKl hatred of the rank and file
The general, accompanied by u con
siderable suite of officers and men,
exposed himself on his tour of Insprc
' Hon of our trenches completely with
out attracting a single enemy bullet!
i It was unthinkable to us who had to
cr.iul on our bellies to obtain somo
water. And here was this party In
I open lev of the enemy who kept
moh a strange Blltnci",
The general acted quecrly. He would
stop at points where the barbed wire
was torn open or where tho fortifica
tions were weak and wipe his face
with his kerchief There whh a gen
eial murmur among the men. The
word "treason!" was uttered by many
lips In suppressed tones. Tho officers
were Indignant nnd called the gen
eral's attention to tho unnecessarv
danger to which ho exposed himself
Hut the geneinl ignored their warn
ings, remarking, "nitchevo!" (It's
nothing)
The discipline was so rigorous that
no ono dared to argue' tne matter wnn
I. The officers cursea wnen
e men muttered:
elllng us out to the enemv!"
i hour nfter his departure
tho Germans opened a tremendous fire
It was particularly directed against
those points at which the general had
stopped, reducing ineir incomplete n
(Vntir. m rliiKt. We thought at first
, ,hat thn cnrmy intended to launch an
I offensive, but our expectations did not
materialize. He merely continued his
violent bombardment, wounding and
burjing alive hundreds. Tho cries of
the men wero such that rescue work

bnse was located there, nnd once we
got to the place our lite was eased.
But getting there was no easy task;
the road was frightful. Wo were
fatigued and exhausted, and jnost of
us fell asleep without even eating the
supper that had been prepared for us.
There was no work for a medical as
sistant ln tho rear, and besides mv
arm had fully recovered, so I applied
to the commander for permission to
teturn to the ranks. IIo granted lt
promoting mo to the grade of corporal,
which placed me In charge of eleven
men.
Here I lecelved two letters, one
from Yasha, In reply to inlno, writ
ten from Yakutsk, In which 1 spoke
of returning to hlni at tho conclusion
of the war, I had an answer sent to
him reiterating my promise, on con
dition that he change his behavior
toward me and treat me with consid
eration and love. The other letter
was from home. Mother wanted mo
to come buck, telling of her hardshlns
and sufferings.
It wag October, This month, spent
at the artillery base, tras ono of Jol
lification. Wo were billeted ln the vil
lage cabins, and engaged almost dally
In sports and games. It was here that
1 waa first taught how to sign my
name and copy tho alphabet. I had
learned to read previously, Yasha
having been my first Instructor. Tho
literature that was allowed to circu
late at the front was largely tnado up
of lurid detective stories, and the name
of "Nick Carter" was not unfamiliar
even to mo.
There were other pastimes, also. I
remember ono day during a downpour
1 sought shelter In a barn, where I
found about forty officers and men,
who had also sought protection there
from the rain. The owner of tho barn,
a baba of middle age, was there with
her cow I was In a mischievous rnoOd
and began to (Hit with her, to tho gen
eial merriment of the men. I paid her
some flattering compliments and de
clared that sue had captivated me. The
woman did not recognize my sex and
piofesscd to bo Insulted. Encouraged
by tho uproar of tho men, I persisted
In my advances, and finally made an
nttempt to kiss her. Tho baba. mad
dened by tho laughter of tho soldiers,
seized a big stick of ntovo wood, and
with curses threatened mo and the
men.
'Get out of here, ou tormentors of
a poor baba!" she cried,
I did not seek to provoke a fight and
exclaimed to her:
"Why, you foolish woman, I am a
peasant girl mvself!"
