THE RUSSIA CAMPAIGN.

COSSACK "SUPER-FIGHTERS."

LIKENED TO THE DASHING

ANZACS

London, Jan. 24

"The Times" correspondent with the Russian southern headquarters compares the Kuban stalkers to the Anzacs, and speaks of them as "superfighters—descendants of the hardy Cossack pioneers now come to fight the Empire's foes." They are called "stalkera',' because of their ability to crawl up close, surprise, and defeat superior forces. They are wonderfully resourceful in overcoming barbed wire entanglements. Not a single stalker has surrendered, and they have taken tens of thousands of prisoners.
