J khaki blouse, short breeches, green
forage cap, women's ordinary black
stockings and neat shoes. The sen
try was Marya Skrydloff, daughter of
Admir&l Skrydloff. former commander
| of the Baltic fleet and minister of
| marine. Inside there were four large
dormitories, the beds without bedding
and strewn with heavy soldiers' over
coats. In the courtyard 300 girls were |
| at drill, mostly between 18 and 25
| years of age, of good physique and
I many of them pretty. They wore ,
! their hair short or had their heads ]
I entirely shaved. They were drilling :
under the Instruction of a male ser
seant of the Volynsky regiment and j
I marched to an exaggerated goose- ;
step.
From netter Clauses
Commander Lieutenant Buitchkareff !
I explained that most of the recruits !
were from the higher educational j
academies or secondary schools, with
a few peasants, factory girls and serv
, ants. Some married women were ac
i cepted, but none who had children.
| The girl commander said:
"We apply the rigid system of dls
, cipline of the prerevolutionary army,
' rejecting the new principle of soldier
j self-government. Having no time to
| inure the girls gradually to nard-
I ships, we impose a Spartan regime
j from the first. They sleep on boards

"The ordinary soldiers' food Is fur

| We rise at 4 and drill daily from 7
to 11 and again from 1 to 6. The
j gil ls carry the cavalry carbine which
; is five pounds lighter than the regular ]
army rifle. On our first parade I re- J
quested any girl whose motives were i
frivolous to step out. Only one did so,
but later many who were unable to
stand the privations left us.
"We are fully official and are al
ready entered on the list of regi
ments. Uniforms and supplies are
received from the ministry of war, to
which we render accounts and pre
sent reports. Yesterday the com
mander of the Petrograd military dis
trict reviewed us and expressed his
j satisfaction. 1 am j;onvinced that we
will excel the male fighters."
Asked as to the attitude of the

Allies Await Building of
Great U. S. Airfleet to
Blast Out Kaiser's Hopes
London, June 21. The Govern
ment is still unprepared to announce
its policy of air reprisals against
Germany, but reprisals are likely lo
be started whenever the Allies' air
service possesses such an overwhelm
ing superiority in number of air
i planes as to make them possible on
I an enormous scale without weaken
| ing the military establishment.
In this connection it has been
! learned that the American plans for
the construction of airplanes by tens
i of thousands represent an intimate
j connection with the Allies, who are
' most desirous of American aid in ex
panding air warfare to such an ex-
I tent as to swamp all previous activi-
I ties of this kind.
The American contribution In this
regard will likely be most impor
tant in determining the result of the
\ war. It is understood the plans con- I
: template the utilization of aircraft]
] on a scale which- will revolutionize
l land operations even more than the
] submarines have revolutionized
naval warfare.
When the preparations are com
plete it will be possible to carry out
plans to keep German cities, muni
tions works, trench and reserve lines,
railways, ports and naval bases un
der continual bombardment. The
Germans have established a prece
dent in making such warfare legiti
mate; now they must take the con
sequence.

ed $55,936.40.
Reports to this effect were made
at the noonday luncheon of workers

Miners Do Their Bit
R. D. Randall of Lykens, wired
the executive committee this morn
ing that the men employed in the
mines at that place to-day agreed
unanimously to give an entire day's
pay to the Red Cross. This an
nouncement brought cheers from
the team workers at the luncheon
to-day.
But other announcements also;
brought cheers.
There was Captain Rodenhaver. I
of team No. 3, for example, who re- j
ported a subscription from a Har- J
risburg man who has three sons in ,
the army.
Then there was the subscription !
announced from a well-known young ]
woman who has a sweetheart in the 1
army.
Groans greeted the announcement j
by one of the team captains that a '
Harrisburg father with one son in !
the army, and likely to be at the i
front in France very shortly, had j
refused absolutely to give a penny |
to the fund, declaring that it wasn't j
up to him to support the boys in]
France; that, he said, was up to
the United States government.
Announcement, was not made '
however, of the man prominent in '
local educational circles who told |
solicitors this morning that he would 1
not subscribe a penny to the Red i
Cross —that his private business 1
ventures took all the money he had, |
and that he could not sec the Bed ,
Cross at this time. While this man
is under contract to the school board !
his case will be brought to the at-j
tention of the\body at its next meet
ing.
Mrs. Olmsted's division to-day i
Cjtptured honors because of having ]
••cured tlie greatest number of in
dividual subscriptions, 409. Mrs. j
Frances J. Hull's team, in this'divi-j
s(ion, secured 153 subscriptions. Over I
this division floats a British Jack. I
An American flag floats over the
George S. Reinoehl division, for the |
greatest amount collected by any j
division. Mr. Reinoehl's teams col- j
lected $8,795.50. Of this amount!
$5,314 was solicited by Captain John |
C. Herman's team—and Mr. Herman
was saluted as the youngest captain j
in the captaining business.
At least two of the banking insti- !
tutions of Harrishurg have taken I

Excess Profits Taxes
Extended to Individuals
Washington, June 21. —Extension
of excess profits taxes in the war
revenue bill to individuals engaged
in trade or business as well as cor
porations and partnerships was de
cided upon to-day by the Senate
finance committee. From the indi
vidual tax an additional $100,000,000
in revenues Is expected.
An exemption of $5,000 In assess
ing the tax will apply to individuals
on the same bases as corporations.
The individual tax would be addi
tional to the income tax.
The object of the tax is to reach
war profits of trade conducted per-1
sonally and not Incorporate or part-'
nership form. The tax, it is expect-|
ed, will apply also to professional,
men, such as physicians and dentists. I
In levying the excess profits tax
upon corporations having abnormal'
profits during the three years pre-i
ceding the war, upon which normal
and excess profits calculated are to
be bused, the committee decided to
allow the $5,000 exemption and also
an additional exemption of six per
cent, upon capital actually Invested
and employed.
