of a mere chance, we
bound and fed, in two days, 3,017
wounded.
"We were ordered then to move on
with the corps of the famous General
Mishenko, known as the Cossack raid-
er of the Japanese war. We took up
our work in his advance lines just at
the time the Germans made their sec-
ond dash on Warsaw. Our corps stood
firm for nine days, repulsing attack
after attack. This nine days among
the Caucasian heroes was the most
trying and dangerous, but at the same
time the most instructive, of our ex-
periences. In one night seven hun-
dred wounded were found and cared
for, the greater part in the trenches
under heavy artillery fire- Several
sanitars were wounded.
"When new corps came to the res-
cue the Caucasians were ordered to
make a rapid move back to join fresh
troops and begin an advance together.
The move was executed so suddenly
and rapidly that the military aide had
no time to take out the wounded lying
in several villages near by. The last
section of the column volunteered to
creep into the village and rescue the
wounded who otherwise were threat-
ened with being burned, fire having
broken out in several places. Through
the blackness of the night, lit only by
the bursting shells, we made our way
into the village and removed eighty
men from the danger sone. The staff
considered them lost and upon learn-
ing of their rescue General Mishenko
called out the heroes of that night,
thanked them for their work and made
them the subject of a flattering order
to his regiment. Immediately after
that the commander of the column fell
ill and I was left in command.
“Among the troops whose gallantry
stopped the Germans a second time
from coming to Warsaw wary those of
the First Siberian Oorps. 1
“For the first time having seen the
Siberian office™* (said Kal
The Siberian corps was summoned to
start on a few hours’ notice and pro-
ceed by forced marches 137 kilome-
ters to Prassnitz over fearful roads
and in wretched weather. Two days
\v0s allowed to cover the distance. The
world knows of that brilliant da3h and
what was its result. The military
hospital, in this rapid march, had been
left behind. The Twenty-first Flying
Column followed and was the first to
enter after the city had been taken
by the First and Third Siberian reg-
iments. The sights we saw cannot be
adequately described. More than 2,-
700 wounded Germans without having
had any care whatever, were lying or
crawling about the streets, hiding in
basements and outbuildings, evidently
hoping that the Germans would make
a counter attack and re-enter tiie city.
The ditches were full of dead and
w’ounded as were the open spaces
about the city and the outlying vil-
lages. Miany of our own men were
scattered among the German wounded.
We found the work almost beyond our
capacity, lar from a railroad and with
the troops always moving on. We
formed concentration camps at vari-
ous points and put students in charge
of them. In these camps we collected
3,360 wounded.”
To accomplish the rescue Kalpash-
nikoff and the student had to crawl
more than a mile along a ditch, but in
plain view and in constant range of
the German trenches, but, in tbo
words of Kalpasljnikoff, “the German
soldiers shot rather badly.”
After the Germans left Heinoff the
population was destitute and facing
starvation. The Flying Column in the
succeeding days fed there 22,698 per-
sons besides stamping out an epi-
demic of typhus fever which for a
time threatened to assume large pro-
portions.
GERMAN RATION ONE SMALL LOAF
—PURPOSE BEHIND MOVE,
SAYS M. DOLLFUS.
Hy the Associated Press.
Geneva, Switzerland,
Jan. 15.—By
,yet by this order of the 27th, this
bread supply in bulk is cut off.
“This can mean only another great
tragedy,” said Mr. Dollfus, “and 1 am
Convinced there must be a purpose
behind such a move—a purpose to
force the allies to consider terms oi
peace, rather than see their own peo-
ple dying pf starvation. And we ex-
pect, also, that if the bulk supply is
cut off, this will soon be followed by
putting off the individual packages,
on the ground that it is too great an
undertaking to distribute these indi-
vidual daily supplies. And so we are
faced with the present stoppage of the
bulk supply and the probable stop-
page of the remaining individual sup-
ply.
“I am seeking as best as possible to
meet this condition, by organizing a
'complete service of individual pack-
ages, but it will be a work requiring
■much help from private sources—in
•which I hope America will help as it
did in Belgium—and will be supported
by the allied governments as far as
possible. But it is a strange fact that
the Hague convention designed for the
betterment of the world, stands in
the way of a government helping its
own prisoners shall be charged with
feeding them, and that the country
from which the prisoners come shall
have no control of the matter. That
provision, made in peace times, has
had an unfortunate effect In actual
war times, and France and England
'are thus prohibited by the Hague
agreement from officially seeking to
control the bread or food supply or
their prisoners in Germany. There-
fore we must organize it without di-
rect government support, but with thi
expectation that the allied govern-
ments will give it semi-official recog-
nation without encroaching on the
Hague agreement.
“Taking about 300,000 French pris-
oners as a basis, perhaps half of them
can be reached afterward by the -ef-
forts of families and friends in send-
ing individual packages. That leaves
.150,000 to be looked after daily. It

J 000 kilos for 150,000 prisoners a

vance«to 70 centimes (14 cents). This
makes about 75 cents iper man per

the shipment of bread to prisoners of
war in Germany, unless each package
of bread is addressed to an individual
prisoner. This order has caused con-
sternation to those in charge of the
bread supply to prisoners, as they say
it is practically impossible to send in-
dividual packages except to a few, and
that the great bulk of prisoners will
have their bread supply cut off. They
declare, too, that back of this order is
a sinister move to strike such terror
among the allies on the starving con-
dition of their prisoners, that they
will be willing to listen to peace.
The International Red Cross organ-
ization has its headquarters here, ad-
ministering its affairs for the whole
world at this central point. Gustave
Adoe, a distinguished Swiss citizen, is
at the head, and Max Dollfus, an Al-
satian of strong French sentiment, Is
head of the bureau for prisoners of
war. As such, Mr. 'Dollfus was made
director of the bread supply furnished
French prisoners of war in Germany,
and it was he who told the Associated
Press of the order of Dec. 27, and the
grave effect it would have.
Bread is the very element of
Frenchman’s existence,” said he, “you
can cut off anything else and be can
stand it, but he must have bread.
Now we have built up a vast organisa-
tion by which bread is being poured
into Germany to meet this primary-
want. A small part of it has gone in
individual packages, but the great
bulk has been without individual
names, as At is impossible to designate
each one of about 300,000 prisoners in
a daily bread supply. And yet this or-
der of Dec. 27 cuts off everything not
addressed in an individual package,
direct to the prisoner. So that the
great bulk of this supply is stopped.
“I have had many opportunities to
see the serious effect of short bread
rations to prisoners," added Mr. DoV
fus. “The prisoners returning to
France have been convoyed by nv> to
[d>er cutting off the bulk bread supp'y.”
