THIS STARTS THE STONY
In the summer of 1917 Mnnfi
Botchkareva formpcl the R-utnlion of
Death, a woman's HslitinR- unit In
thp Russian arm and a ppnnm
girl thus stepped Into the interna
tlonal hall of fame In earner install
ments she told of the hardship of
her childhood, the briitahtis!. of her
married life, and the lpnlizatlon of
her wish to become u soldiei Sh
told of battles fought and won and
of the demoralization of the .mm
after the overthrow of thn I'jin i
was her desire to .shame the mm
Into action that ptotnpted hei to
form the Battalion. Kerensa "s de
sire that she should run the battalion
on the committee plan caused her
to throw her epaulettes In Ills face
Angered, he ordeis her to he shot
hut he is reminded that capital pun
ishment has been abandoned in the
army
to set nn pxamplo to tho laggards of
tho army. I know that you aro of the
stuff to win Rlory. Tho country Is
watching you set the stride, for tho
entire front. Placo your trust In Ooq,
and Ho will help us savo the mother,
land."
To tho men who were standing by
t spoke of the necessity of co-opcra
tlon. As Kcrensky had just completed
a tour of this section the soldiers were
still under the Influence of his pas
slonate appeals to defend the country
and freedom. Tho men responded to
my call, promising to Join us In tha
expected attack.
Darkness settled on earth, Inter
rupted now and then by the flare of
exnloslonti. This was to be the night
of nights. The urtlllery roared loudor
than ever as we Btenlthllyjentered a
communication trench m.d filed 'fclngly
pantos, I was at tho extreme, right of
tho lino held by tho battalion. At the
extreme left was Captain I'etrov, ono
of tho instructors. My adjutant, Lieu
tenant Flllppov, wna in tho center of
the line. Between him .and mo two
ofllcers were stationed nmong tho girls
nt equal distances. Between him and
Captain Tetrov another two offlcers
occupied similar positions. AVo waited
for tho signal to advance.
The night was pnssed In great ten
sion. Ah the hour set for tho begin
ning of the attack approached strange
reports reached me. Tho omccrs wcrn
uneasy; They scented a certain rest
lessness among tho men and began to
wonder If they would ndvanco after
alt.
Tho hour struck three. The colonel
gnvo the signal. But the men'on my
into tno front line. Tho rest of the : right and to tho left of Cuptaln Petrov
reelment was (ourlnc In the same ill
rectlon through other communication
crenches. Thete were casualties during
tho proceeding. Some soldiers were
killed and many were wounded, among
the latter being several of my girls.
The order from General Valuycv,
commander of tho Tenth Army, was
for our whole corps to go over tho
top at 3 n. m. July 8. Tho battalion
occupied a section of the front trench
flanked on both sides by other com
would not move They replied to tho
colonel's order with questions and ex
pressions of doubt us to the wisdom
of advancing. Tho cowards t
"What for should wo die?" asked
some.
"What's the tiso of ndvanclng?"
joined others.
"Perhaps it would bo bottor not to
attack," vacillated many more.
"Truo, let us see first If nn offensive
la necessary," debated tho remaining
companies. !
The colonel, ttie company command
era nnd some of the bravo soldiers
tried to pcrsuado tho regiment to go
over the top. Meanwhllo day was
breaking. Time did not wait. Tho other
regiments of the corp were also vac
illating. Tho men, raised to a high
pitch qf courage by Kerensky's ora
tory, lost heart When tho advance be
lt, t
camo Imminent. My battalion was kept rj;
in mo trencn uy tno pusillanimous
conduct of tho men on both flanks.

The officers were plainlv hostile
toward Kerensky. Why? Because they j
saw that Kerensky did not understand I
the temper of the Russian soldier. His
flying trips to the front perhaps made i
Kerensky and the world think that ,
the army was a h ing, powerful in- ,
telligent organism The officers who ,
were with the soldiers day and night ;
knew that the identical ciowd which

In Philadelphia, home of famous bakers,
thousands no longer bake cakes at home. "What
is the use?" these women ask. "Our grocers sell
Ivins' Sponge Cake and Pound Cake cakes that
are really as delicious and wholesome as we could
bake ourselyes."
Sponge Cake and
Pound Cake
save all the time and worry connected with home
baking. And they save part of the money, too.
Ivins' buy in quantity and in quality, and bake
with a skill that shows itself in the unequalled!
daintiness and lightness of our Ivins' products.
Why not Ivins' Sponge Cake today and Ivins'
Pound Cake tomorrow? One taste will convince
you of their home goodness will show you that
your baking troubles are over.
