NEW YORK, Sept. 19. One of
the victims of the Russian rovolu
tinn is the most famous copy of tho
Koran In the' world. It was 'Stolon
from the public library In Petro-
grad and Its whoreabouts Is ' now
an "absolute mystery. Speaking of
tills volume of the Koran, the cele.
biu tod Russian scholar, Prof. S. F.
Oldenburg said: . .
"The stolen Koran Is unquestion
ably one of the most famous vol
umes of Its kind. By Mussulmans
throughout the world. It was . ro
parded as very holy. I, personally
have seen hundreds of worshippers
ot Allah walk in Into the public
library and tbow before the book.
A beautiful "legend surrounds this
volume: the blood spots on Its cov
ers are said to be those of Ma
l.omot himself. I don't, know tho
motive that " may have Impelled
those who stole It. I do not be
lieve - the story that Turks have
r.tolon It, as the soviet govornmen.t
tilieady has promised to return It
to any properly designated body
representing. Ilia. Mahommedan
church." i
Photographic copies of the vol
ume are to be found at the library.
The volume came originally from
Turkey, where it was presented to
a .number of Russian scholars as
a gift to the Petrograd public lib.

WITH THE AMERICANS EAST
OF IlIIEMS, Aug. 10. (By Mall.)
It is not often that trench war.
faro permits a gUdtatoYlaTcoBTost!
in which both sides look on. This
is a tale of a fight . which telouged
to the olden days.
.In a southern regiment one dare-
rievll ot tho Infantry, perfectly sune
and sobor, suddenly told his com
panions, , "I want me a bocbo. I
want to moot -him single-handed,
fight him, whip him, get a souvenir
from Jilm, and'como back with
him. '. .-:'.':', ' ('''.
They tried to persuade him not
to go out, but no luck. ' , . ;
He followed his stroifg southern
will across No. Man's Land, scour
ing carefully until he came'" to a
clump of buuhos, one of the few
shrubs left In the wuil sliellod
area. ' 1 '
Thon, by some clianco, he canio
face to face with a German, who
had evidently seen the approach of
the American. The boche was a
Prussian, and a good man physic
ally. -.-.'-..
With bayonets they went at each
other, spurring, feinting, jabbing,
the Americans looking on through
I'liboi vatlon musses and holes. Pro
bably tho Germans wore doing so
tco, though tboy did not shoot,
probably toarlng thoy would lilt
rriiclr own man. ' -v-T' .--..-
After some minutes of fighting
lila Buddies saw tho Anierlcarir drive
his bayonot Into tho Gorman who
fali, evidontly killed.
The American stooped ovei tho
Prussian, true to his word thut he
would bring in souvenirs. Then he
Dturtod back for' his own trenclie.i.
.Instantly a rain of bullets came
a'lor- him and he fell. His com
rades thought ho had been killed,
