DISBANDED IN RUSSIA PROPER PLACE IN HOME REARING CHILDREN AND DARNING SOCKS [United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] (Received 24th April, 10.45 a.m.) HELSINGSFORS, 23rd April. The Defence Commissar, M. Voroshiloff, ordered the disbandment of the women’s Amazon regiments as they are of little military value and only of use for spectacular parades. Their proper place is at home rearing children and darning socks. Another criticism was that some women officers led lives unworthy of the Russian uniform.
