REGALLS WEETING | RUSSIAN PATRIOT Reporter, Then Soldier, In- pressed by Wrangel Lee LaCrosse, now a member of | the Herald reportorial staff, had the | Dleasure of meeting on Peter Wrangel, former leader of the | “White” army in Russia, who died | Wednesday while in exile in Bel- | &lum. Mr. LaCrossc was at that time | With the Polish army fighting the Bolsheviks, His recollection of meet- ing Wrangel is told as follows: It was in the Spring of 1920 that | ilie writer of this article, then an nst the Bolshe portunity to come faco to face with Baron Peter Wra , then com-| mander of the Russian “Whites.” The writer and a number of men | under him were ordered to make a4 private expedition into the ene- | my's territory to get information concerning their strength and report back to headquarters. It was a dan- #erous mission as the territory was | foreign and one never knew when and where he would come in con- | tact with the enemy, who at that time although waging war with Po- | land, were a disorganized band, | fighting in a guerilla sort of war- | fare, and it was hard to distinguish a soldier from a civilian. | Approach to a village or town | had to be done carefully and under | cover, When the unit approached a | £ood sized town in the southwestern | district of Russia, now part of Uk- | rainia, the commander ordered a | halt, while he and an escort of three rode in, leaving orders with the rest | that should they not come back | within 15 minutes, to return to| hradquarters and report. | They did not have to wait long, | l.owever, as one of the riders camc | back soon and gave orders to ride | into town. They found troops in the | , but not the enemy’s. type the | visitors were used to come in con- | tact with when fighting a battle | with the Bolsheviks. For the great- or part they were men of intelli- &ence, used to the hardships of war- fare, with years of experience in the game behind them. While the troops were making their acquaintane with each other, the commander of the expedition was at the headquai ters of the “White” army talking with their commander-in-chict, Gen- | eral Peter Nokolaicwitel Wrang He was at that time just a little over $0 years, o nd dark haired. His face bore es of years of expo. ure to all kinds of weather condi tions during the trying times and ex- perlences as a commander of fight ing units before the revolution and . still barder times after the dewnfall of the czarist rcgime. He posscssed | a striking pcrsonality and an air! about him which impressed one. | ‘'here was no trace of selfishness | about him, He was most democratic | in his wayd, and as the writer later | learned, his troops mot only liked | him but idolized him. | From the conversation that took | vlace it could be readily. seen that | the man was a dreamer of dreams which ‘he hoped to realize. When asked whether he fought in an ef-| fort to bring back monarchy in his country, he replied that he waged | wat against the then liberty-crazed | Bolsheviks only as a protest against their unjust treatment of the intel- | ligentla. He knew then that he was sighting a losing battle and expressed | his hope that Poland might be able to help him in realizing his dream of | 2 united Russia, | His officers and men were faith- ful to him, but most of them were | practically convinced that nothing | could come of their waging war| against such tremendous odds, ex- cept death, surrender or exile. Nevertheless they vowed that would follow their leader as long as he wanted them and would either die with him on the field of battle, or go into exile, The unexpected but pleasant ex- perience of coming in contact with | Wrangel by the writer ended after 4 consultation on what might open territory where it would safe for the expedition to operate. | He gathered his men, gave the com- mand “to horse,” and after saluting the general who stood in the door- way, dashed away, taking away with | him pleasant memories of his meet- ing with this distinguished figure.
