PETROGRAD, Russia, Oct. 28.—Dusk bringing a cessation of how tilities, a Red Cross party was slowly picking its way over the area where a vicious battle was fought earlier in the day A light, fey snow—forerunner of the terrible Polish winter that 1s to come--surfaced the ground, Tho two pontes drawing the ambulance frequently slipped and fell, once overturning the v@ilcle in an un-| trench. | rudging alongside, heavily clothed against tho rigors of the) | weather, were the two surgeons, thelr four aides and eight nurses,| all mning the ground closely tn hopes of rescuing the dying. “What ts that?’ asked the chief nurse sharply, from her seat at) the reins. Beyond at the edge of one of Poland's famous forests emerged a low, slinking shadow, moving swiftly across thé snow-whit ened earth, made all the more ghastly by the pallor of the rising moon. The chief qurgeon peered through his night glasses, but could not distinguish what made up the peculiar object. WOLVES FOUND ON BATTLEFIELD | Soon the shadow, a half mile distant, wheeled obliquely and| stopped short Then the clear, crisp winter alr carried back to the Red Cross party the wildest combination of yells, howls and screams, which | these people, inured as they were to the noises of the battlefield, were at a loss to understand. The party dashed forward. “Wolves!” erted the surgeon, ared the spot.

Against a nearby tree leaned a wounded rifieman—his left arm useless. He explained that his two comrades were eaten alive by the pack, With his right arm he discharged suffictent bullets to keep the ravenous beasts away from him, } BRUTES TEAR AT DYING SOLDIERS That same man, nearly dead from exposure, finally reached a hospital in Petrograd, and interviewing him there, I obtained the fore-| going story.
