RUSSIAN WOMAN CORPORAL
IS A BLOODY FIGHTER
PETROGRAD, July 11.—“South
of Mahala, one ot our reconnaissance
patrols severely punished the enemy, j
causing him great losses. The lead- t
er ot the patrol was Corporal Glust

twice wounded, brought the party
safely back to our lines”—OFFICI
AL COMMUNIQUE.
Corporal Glustchenko Tcherniaw
ka is a woman. She bears an inhu
man hatred of the enemy. The cos
sack patrol which she commands is
noted for its fearlessness and dar
ing—always led by her. She is
known by the enemy to be a fine sol
dier, but wild and brutal and relent
less and unpardoning. Her patrol i3
known as the “Eagles,” because
these cossacks swoop dowD, do their
bloody work and disappear.
In this way the girl cossack lead
er is avenging her father, Major
Glustchenko, killed at the front sev
eral months ago. She arrived at the
front in September and has since
been recommended six times for
decorations. Her soldiers worship
her and the enemy has put a price on
her head.
