If he approved of It. it would be easier to obtain Krensky's permission (leneral headquarters were then at Moghilev anil there we went.

It was such a slid den metamorphosis and I could not help wondering, deep In my soul, over the strange ways of fortune. Hrusilov met us with a cordial handshaking. He was Interested In the idea, he said. Wouldn't we sit down?

He offered to support my Idea with the War Minister and Introduced me right there to Ueneral Polovtzev, commander of tho Petro grad Military District, who was with him. Suddenly tho door swung open and a young face, with eyes inflamed from sleeplessness, beckoned to mo to come In. It was Kerensky, at the moment the Idol of the masses. One of his arms was In a sling. With the other he shook my hand. He walked about nervously and talked briefly and dryly. He told me that ho had heard about me and was Interested In my Idea. I then outlinea to rum tne pur- I. ,ose 0f Xhe project, baying that there would bo no tommlttees, but regular discipline In the battalion of women. CADILLAC MAXIMS.

Now the dream wsis adopted us a practical policy by the highest In nuthorlU I was transported. As KeieiisUy showed me out his eyes fell on lieiicral Polnvtzev. He asked him to etend to me all necessary help. I was overwhelmed with happiness. A brief consultation took placo Im mediately between Captain Dctnen tle and (leneral Polovtzev, who made the following suggestion: "Why not start at the meeting to be held tomorrow nlRht In the Marlyn skl Theatre for tho benefit of the Home for Invalids? Kerensky, Hod, ziankd. Tchkheldze and others will speau there. Let us put liotchkurcvii between ltodlanko and Kerensky on tho program " I was seized with fright nnd ob jected strenuously that I could never appear publicly and that I would not know what to talk about.

Captain De mentlev suggested that 1 commit no speech to memory. I rejected his sug gestion with the comment: "I have placed my trust In God und reli on Him to put the right words Into my mouth."

I was led out as If lu a trance. "Men and women citizens!" I heard my voice say. "Our mother Is perish Itigv Our mother Is Hussla. I want to help save her I want women whose hearts are crystal, whoso souls are pure, whose Impulses are lofty. Wltn such women setting an example of self-sacrltlce, you men will reall7e your duty In this grave hour!" Then I stopped and could not pro ceed. Sobs choked the words In me tremors shook me. my legs grew weak. I was caught under the arm nnd led away under a thunderous outburst of annlause. Registration of volunteers for the battalion from among those present took place the same evening, there and then. So great was the enthusi asm "that 1S00 women applied for en listment. It wias necessary to put quarters at my immediate disposal and It was decided to let tne have the building nnd grounds of the Kolmensk Vomen's Institute, and I directed the women to come there on the morrow, when they would be examined and of ficially enlisted. Plan Gets Publlclt The newspapers carried accounts of the meeting and other publicity helped to swell the number of women who volunteered to Join the battalion of death to 2000. They were gathered In the garden of the Institute, all In a stale of Jubilation. I arilved with Staff Cuptuln Kuzmln. assistant to Oenernl Polovtrev Captain Dementlev and General Anosov, who was Introduced to me as a man very Interested In my Idea. He looked about tlftv and was of Impressive appearance. He wanted to help tne. he explained, In addition, there was about a score of newspaper men.' I mounted a table In the center ( of the garden und ' addressed the women In the following manner: I "Women, do you know what I have j called you here for? Do you realize clearly the task lying ahead of you? Do you know what war Is? War! Look Into your hearts, examine Into your souls nnd see If you can stand the great test. "At a time when our country Is per ishing It Is the duty of all of us to rise to Its succor. The morale of our men has fallen low, and it Is up to us women to serve as an inspiration to them.

It must, Ihcrefoie, bo Irreproachable in char acter. Now, are vou willing to enlist Utldcr such conditions?" "Yes! Wo are! All right! All right!" the women responded in a chorus. "I will now ask those of you, who accept m terms to sign a pledge binding you to obey any order of Dotchknrevn. I warn you that I am stern by nature, that I will persohnllv punish anv misdemeanor, that X will demand absolute obedience. Those of you who hesitate better not sign tho pledge. There will now ba a rhcrilcal examination." There wero nearly 2000 sjgned pledges. They Included names of some of the most Illustrious famfllcs lp the country, ns well as those of common peasant glfle and domestic servants. Tho physical examination, given by ten physicians, some of whbni were women, was not of the same standard as that required of the men.

Outfits Provided It was necessary to obtain outfits, and I applied to General Polovtzev, commniider of the military district of Petrogrnd, for them. The same eve ning 2000 complete outfits wero de livered at my headquarters. I nlso asked General Polovtzev for twenty live men Instructors, who wero well disciplined, could maintain good order and knew all the tricks of tho mili tary game so as to be able to com plete the course of Instruction In two weeks. He sent mo twenty-five petty officers of all grades from the Volyn ski Regiment. Then there was tho question of sup plies. Were we to have our own kitchen? It wus found more expe dient not to establish one of our own, but to make iic of the kitchen of a gunrd regiment, stationed not far from our quarters. The ration was thai of regular troops, consisting of two pounds of bread, cabbage soup, kasha, sugar nnd tea. I would send a com pany at a time, equipped with palls, for their meals. On the morning of May 26 all the recruits gathered at the grounds of the Institute. I had them placed In lows so ns to distribute them accord ing to their height, and divided the whole body Into two battnllons of ap proximately 1000 each. Each battalion was divided Into four companies and each company subdivided Into four platoons. There was a man Instruc tor In command of every platoon, and. In addition, there was a petty officer In command of every company, so Tryin to imitate bein' natural . makes both folks an tobacco mo artificial than ever.
