Russian Soldiers (Continued from page tivo) France has and as Germany is attempting now. Yet Russia fought all through her history, had to fight. For centuries Rus sia was the bulwark of Europe against countless eastern invad ers—Petchenegs, Cumans, Kha zars, Mongols, Tartars, etc. The proportions of this struggle against the East were titanic, and its historical significance tremen dous. Later Russia had to fight mostly western foes, and, to note the two most striking examples, proved to be the grave of the in vincible Swedish army in the be ginning of the eighteenth cen ttury and of Napoleon’s French army in 1812. Russia was not always on the defensive. For example, Russians took Berlin in 1760, Paris, to gether with allied troops, in 1814. In all these numerous campaigns Russian generalship was often deficient, the provisioning of the army was usually bad, but the soldier was always good. Best Expression Now that the Germans are smashing Russia for sixteen months one sees again the value of the centuries-old Russian bravery. Allies call it heroism, Germans often name it heroic fanaticism. Its meaning was, per haps, best expressed in words a long time ago by a young Rus sian recruit. In his first battle this recruit showed maganificent courage. After the engagement an officer asked him, “Were you not afraid?” The young soldier answered: “Nobody can die twice, nobody can escape one death.” With this understanding of the necessity to die for one's coun try and the perfect naturalness of such a death, the Russians are meeting their latest invader.

But even if Genie had no rep utation to rely on. he just couldn’t help attracting the praise that is ever showered upon him. We have heard the immortal Hal Hardin say a praise-be-the lord for Verne Spaugh and Daryll Renfro, so, like the aforemen tioned laddies, they must be strictly au reet. Harry Nelson ?
