New York.)--The . Cossacks do not
ihold a very high opinion of the pro
ess of the Turks, if a story told by
n Russian army surgeon recently re
turned from the front is to be believec.
"Early in the fighting," he said, "I
operated upon a Cossack who had lost
an arm. When he was about recov
ered, I asked him what were his
plans for the future.
" 'I'm going to enlist in the Cau
casian army,' was the reply.
'"But how can you, with only one

. " 'We Cossacks don't need more than
one arm to beat the Turks,' answered
the soldier in all seriousness..
"Since then, I have made a practice

urdergo a similar operation as to his
intentions, and almost invariably I
have received a- similar reply." :
