DR. KILPA TRICK TELLS SOCIETY - ABOUT RUSSIA SPEAKS OF IMPRISONMENT Informed Officers of Being Amer ican-Probably Saved Life "The tl'ree main things said in the Russian army are: 'To the right, 'To the left,' and 'Go forward'," said Pro fessor Kilpatrick in a delightful speech on Russia given before members of the Euphrosynean literary society Wed nesday afternoon. Professor Kilpatrick gave a brief historical sketch of the country, men tioning her as one of the few coun tries who has played an important role in all of the affairs of the world for ages back, pointing out the Czar Nicholas 11 and his enormous powei which was perhaps the greatest known to man at that time. "Her religion," he said "comes from Canstantinople and Greece; it is a mix ture of the Catholic orthodox church, and is. one of mystery, a quality that the Russians love in everything. Her ,trchitecture is beautiful, and in the realm of literature, she ranks high. Lack of political insight, or lack of something caused the downfall of the country. "After the war I went with the American Red Cross to South Russia, to Crimea, the only part held by the ol regime. Here I met princes, dukes, and the servants of the country. With a young Russian nobleman and a Rus sian princess as secretary, we took a little medicine and food and set out for the front. While we were watching a battle, the calvary of the enemy broke loose an(d we were captured. The enemy began undressing ine. and when I asked the cause of this unusual pro cedure, they said I was to be shot. and my clothes were removed to save them. The weather was bitterly cold. They removed the girl's coat and or dered us to run. We ran. They lined us up against a house to be shot, and I leaped out of the line and told the of licer it would be very unwise to shoot is because we were Americans. 1 guess this saved us, for others were shot. There followed a trial in which we got through allright. Then we three went with the armty, the name of the nobleman having been changed. A gruesome feature of the trip was picking up the pieces of a commander who was shot." Professor Kilpatrick narrated how he was taken for a surgeon and cam ianded to bandage up wounds, a task af which he was utterly ignorant. He ?xl)lained his -work by saying he did it the A'merican wav. "I never willingly killed a lIolshevik, but I know some of that I bandaged dIidnt't get wvellI," lie smiled. "Once T was itetrviev' edl by a wom an who was a conunliandler. She was the only l'erson I found there who had any sense, for shte recoinnnended that we be seint out of Russia. Fromi there we wvere taken to prisoni in Moscow,. a b)eattiful city with sixteen hundred churches. T was considered a spy by the judge atnd was told that I would suffer the penalty. It happened to be my birthdnay,"' he cont iiedh, "so in prisoni we celebratIed by (at ing a few Itlums of sugar. Tlhie food was black bread and1( cabbage souph. The princess escap)ed out of Rusuia, but the~ young mobletmani was execut ed. "'I was later mioved to a imonast erv prison a few miles out of Moscow." lie saidl. "T1here were about five hun dred! prisoners here. inc'luding thme king aind Ihis court. W\hen I wetnt ini to mteet hiimi, lie gave 1ne a t)ipe( to sinoke, accordhing to the customi. Finall I1' was put in the dheath cell, where every night some one was shot. With a piece of charcoal T scratched my tnamie in every language I knew in hopes that my family unight sometime know my fate. T gtuess I was not shot because I was an American. Tfhen I was senit to the prison hospital, whlere I often kept my heart in an excited state so I would not he sent back to the death cell again. -ED NE MAYRE WALL, Editor Mi; s Faith deLoach visited at her home in Camden.
