AMAZONS IN THE BATTLEFIELD
NUMEROUS OASES OF FEMININE ' HEROISM. j By Telegraph—Press Aesoci&tion—Copyright , ("Times" and Sydney ' Sun" Services.) : Petrograd, January 14. Numerous instances are cited of fem- • inine heroism on the battlefields. A regiment lost its colonel and ten officers, : and a sister of charity rallied the troops | and- led; them to the trenches, where ; the sister fell dead. Another nurse fought to protect lier wounded ,in an ' evacuated village. i M. Naudeau, the Fiench., correspon- ! dent, suggests that educated Russian women develop.a masculine mentality, and desire to appear natural and strong ; rather than pretty. Sex distinctions in ! Russia are less than elsewhere; women ; fighters amongst troops are common.
