We were serving cold When Russian women, following the revolution which deposed the c.tir, I took up iinns in behalf of thojr eoun-1 try. It seemed that the ancient Creek myth of the Amazons was close to realisation. The legend of the Amu Eons was a favorite among Uie Oreoks, who loved to weave stories of the wonderful feats of these warlike womeu. According to the legend th"e Amn ions, who were irre.-istible In war, lived on the shores of tin lilnck sea. The llrst Amazons were wr.meu whose husbands had all been killed la war. The widows decided that marriage was a condition of servitude, and de tei mined 'to have no more of it.

Dripping blood, a soldier staggers to wards us, and we see In the fllful tlare the outlines of crouching figures; be hind trees, walls and wagons. A roar as if the heavens are falling; lower and lower we bend as the shells go screaming overhead. ' A blinding flash, and we see a cur tain of fire dropping on the opposite slope. With a muffled roar a sea of flame bursts In the valley below.

The Amnion river was so named be cause early Spanish explorers who were floating down that great stream believed they saw u race of Women warriors on the land bordering the river. .

Roosevelt la the bill Intro duced by him in the House of Rep resentatives, January 29, Is designed to be a museum of history and the arts Illustrating the history nnd genius of Americans two subjects with which Mr. Roosevelt was vitally concerned. Washington, the nation's capital and the focusing place for1 all Amorlcan people, is the logical loca tion for the memorial to this great American. Such a memorial, while as perma nent as' bronze, would be a living and enduring tribute that would serve for all time C3 a real force in the education of all classes of Americans. It would contain the vast collec tions alieudy In the National Mu seum of relics and memantocs of Il lustrious patriots of our country and of the events consplclous In l;s history. These concern not pnly cel ebrated warriors and statesmen and important military incidents, but also scientists and Inventors and the epoch-making discoveries and "in ventions produced by their genius, which have advanced the cause or civilzatlon and added lustre to our national fame. The great collection relating to ithe world war, .cow being gathered would also be installed within its walls.
