RUSSIAN WOMEN IN THE WAR

Do Effective Work In Bringing in* Prisoners and Doing Sentry Duty. I London.—A dispatch from Warsaw declares that the present war is growing every day more like the campaign, of Alexander I against Napoleon. Now the civil population is joining in the defense and among these are found women and even children willing to undergo the hardships even of sentry and outpost duty. These women and children are most effective, the dispatch says. They bring in many German prisoners to headquarters. The prisoners are usually safely bound and for greater security their guns, though taken away from them, have the triggers tied with cord. The devotion of the peasant population to the cause of defense is notice, able particularly in the Grodno district, where the volunteer guard has rendered valiant service.
