How a Regiment
Was Saved
By RICHARD MACKLEV
lu n iittlo town uear the Russian
bolder Colonel I'dendorf wa? eu< auip
oil with Ills regluiout. There was at
the time no vuauiy very near him, and
ho went /or bin daughter, Hon la, to
come frotu Moscow to viwlt him Hut
the pan European war wan on, and
there might be lighting at any mo
ment. So the colonel wrote hi* daugh
ter to come with an little, baggage an
possible and U? ready to get buck at
short notl? e. v
When Son la cauie she wan escorted
by Puul Schumsky, a citizen.
"J>ldn't 1 write you," said thy colo
uel, "yot to bring any u?eless hag
gage V"
"Yea, papa."
"Then what did you brlnn that
Weakling fur?"
"Well, ho offered to I>e my protector,
aud 1"?
, "Protector! l>o you uupi>osc that
whippersuapper could protect any one?
Why, he'd need a nuwe himself
"If ho needs one I'll take care of
him."
The very next day the colonels at
tention was diverted from Sehinnsky
to an attack of tho enemy( He had
barely time to tell his daughter to got.
back to Moscow as fast as|i?*?lbleu.
when he was called upon to hend hN
regiment In battle.
The Russian position was on a low
ridge that rose above the surrounding
country. The Germans straightway
began to make a pair of pincers of
tliernselveH, their favorite strategy,
driving In the Russian thinks. When
they had their enemy in the shape (*'
u horseshoe they proceeded to drive in
tho heels and soon cut otf the Russian
communications. Colonel Ullenil i f.
realizing that unless be could I <? re
euforix'd hi* command would be <ap
tured, was In despair, lie sent several
officers to the rear to beg for sirror,
but none of theui got through. When
ho was meditating surrender He
told that a man in citizen's dress had
come from the rear aud desired to
speak with him. Then who should ap
pear but Paul Srhuinsky, his clothes
half torn off bis back, dirty, begrimed
with powder and bleeding.
"Great Scott!" cried the colonel.
"How did you got through?"
"Fought my way."
"With a message?"
"Yes, colonel."
"A promise of re-enforcementsV
"No, colonel."
"Then what in thunder is it?"
"I proposed marriage to your daugh
ter, and she referred me to you."
A group ot' ollicers standing about
broke into a laugh. The colonel looked
as if lie didn't know whether to laugh
or t" < ut tin- citizen down with his
sword. Presently an idea struck him.
? Since you have come through, may
be yi u enn j;o baek."
I i a n t r\ .*"
"Well, I.a-'k ;tiul semi nit* re-en
forcemcnt> if Jim succeed you shall
have my daughter."
Sear* ely hail i lie words been spoken
\ when SchnnisUy In-I????lv himself tt> the
J rear so rapidly that it o curred to those
viewing him ihai hi* legs were a great
aih untagc t<> him. lioiiig ?*i> ati emi
nent e, they I'Ouiu see him at a great
! distance. A <?ermaii horseman saw
him and gave ehase. The ground was
rough. and Sehumsky was a better
Jumper than the horse. Then he sprint
ed over a Held, rifles popping at hlin
on both >ides. lie fell, but got up and
went on. tliis time with a limp.
I'hlans started for him.' but he led
them Into a strip of timber, emerging
on tho other side, while they remained
In the wood. Again he fell, and when
lie arose he limped some luoro. Final
ly lie disappeared from view in the dis
tance and was not seen a^uin. The
colonel, who had been watching him
through a pair of glasses, lowered
them and muttered:
"if he gets us succor he can have
Sonia, and I'd give him a dozen other
daughters if I had them. Thank heav
en, night is coming on: The enemy
can't drive us to the wall before morn
ing."
Soon after daylight the sound of fir
ing was heard In the Kussian rear,
and after awhile a force was seen
constituting a wedge that was driving
upart the heels of the (ierman horse
shoe. The approaching line advanced
rapidly, and the colonel, mounting his
horse, rode to meet It There he found
the officer in command, who was be
hig piloted W.v I'aul Sehumsky. Paul
cut a ridiculous figure. lie wore a
derby hat. a bobtail eo?it and spats
over Ills sho^s.
"I've won her, colonel!" he said en
thusiastically, waving his hat.
The colonel gave lilm a look of min
gled admiration, contempt and grati
tude.
"Yes. you've won," he said In a
snarling tone, "but go and get off that
toggery and put yourself Into a uni
form before I go back 011 my word."
With that he turned to the officer
commanding the re-enforcements for
consultation. The result was that the
Germans were driven off nnd Colonel
niendorf's regiment was saved from
capture.
Before the colonel would permit the
marriage between Sehumsky and hi*
da tighter Sehumsky was forced to en
list and was soon after promoted to a
commission. It seems that 8onla, who
had been bothered with his begging
her to say yea. In order to get rid of
him, h?d told him to go ask her father,
never dreaming that he would do so.
FTowever. her father would not hear of'
her going back on her word, and she
Anally willingly married the man who
had saved the regiment.

tlcers from tiie tra?utng camps time
to familiarize themsMvea with their
duties gradually berore responslhlity
for a great body of men fulls on
them.
The order Issued today means that
about l'j.noo men will reach each of
the 1(1 cantonments soon after Sep
tember 5. The.v will llrst be examin
ed physically by army doctors, and
finally accepted or rejected. This
will take some time and the men will
have to be furnished with temporary
quarters and rationed while awaiting
examination. If the full quota were
assembled at one time, ureal confus
ion would result.
^ Presumably the first Increment will
nave been organized /Into skeleton
companies, batallions or regiments
before the second arrlxes. The new
comers can be quickly absorbed by a
going concern In that-sense. and the
third lot i-mi_.be taken into the war
machinery with even .ess disturbance.
In farming comma:! t!<s local hourl
will arrange the lists of those to till
the tirst icrement with local crop
conditions in mind. Harvesting is in
progress in many sections. Hrafted
men dimmed in that work, who oth
erwise would go with the first third"
of the district quota, will be passed,
over to the second or third as may
be necessary.
Roviewhm the question of dis
cinirge for depemletir relatives. Pro
vost Marshal General C'rowder issued
a supplemental ruling today holding,
that iH't'sons should not be discharged |
because of dependents resident abroad, j
"The object of the law permitting a
person to be discharged provided he
has a person falling within any of
the classes of depedeuts dependent
upon him was to prevent such de

"A <I?? |h-ii<li? 111 residing abro til could

The United .States Is financing It

ment with this money l?uy* from the
people what, It needs for the war.
There are three source* from which
tln? United States can draw the sin
ews of war. First Is the fixed prop
erty of the nation. This represents
our farms, factories, mines, railways
and all other pro|M<rty including ac
eiimulnted savings. From the eorpns
or body of none of these, except the
accumulated savings, will the -govern
ment obtain war funds, and even from
the accumulated savings it will draw
a relatively small portion. These ac
cumulated savings are Invested In In
dustries and business which are acces
sary to the country's, welfare and pros*
perlty and it Is only that portion of
these savings which are seeking 1 li
ves t men t that the govermueitt will re
ceive In exchange for bonds.
The second and the great source
from which the government Is to de
rive its war fund is the wealth pro
dticed during the war. I'art. of this
it will obtain by taxation and part In
exchange for bonds The annual pro*
duct ion of the United States, from Its
farms, mines, factories and other
sources, amounts to fifty billion dol
'ais h year and out of this fifty bil
lion dollars will come the funds, part
from taxes and part from "ttTe sale of
bonds, with which the' United States
will finance itself during this war.
lly taxation this generation will pay
Its portion of the cost of the war.
By the stile of bonds t?he next genera
tion is called upon to pay Its porfton,
and this last portion will be paid from
the wealth production after the war.
