The Big Gun�er
of the I1a1akoff
And the Sharpshooter
Who Supported
Him!
Ii}. t -
By F. A. MSI TQC H E'L 4' y4
One of the world's greatest sieges
was that of Sebastopol, which occurred
in 1854.5. The fall of the fortress
mnrkcd the end of the Crimean war,
in which the English, the t'r'ench and
the Turks on ono side were pitted
against the Russians on the Other.
It was the failure of a bluff on
the part of the British ambassador
at St. Petersburg that caused thou-
sands of men to kill each nther and' '
leave a multitude of widows and or-
phans to mourn for them. No better
argument for a world's peace pariia-
Inent can be dcrfved from any event of
the nineteenth century than this diplo-
matic blunder.
After a' good deal of fighting the
Russians shut themselves up in the
stronghold of Sebastopol to resist the
further progress of the allies and stood
one of the longest sieges in history,
extending over a period of eleven
months.
The allies approached the fortress by
that military process which Is as old.
as war -a system of zigzag trenches.
In these trenches, in heat and cold, in
wind and rain, the soldiers worked
their way toward the object of their
attack, Flom the walls the heavy
gone sent iron bulls to plow up the
earth about them and crush those who
stood in their path. On both sides the
sharpshooter was ever ready to pick
off any one who exposed even an in-
finitesimal portion of his person.
Among the guns that did the most
damage to the allies was one on that
part of the fortress called the Illala-
koff. It was an enormous piece of ord-
nance, whlch acquired a name among
the Russian soldiers taken frotu the
.ezar who reigned at the time, Nicholas.
THE otTnNRR AND HIS PROTECTING SHARP-
They called the gun Old Nicholas. If
it had belonged to the English the
name Old Nick would have meant
more than It did in Russian.
The gunner who served Old Nicholas
corresponded In size to his piece. As the
gun was one of the biggest in the Rus-
sian service, so was Ivan Yasnovsky,
the gunner e g n et vt ho served it, one of the
biggest men ill the army. Ile Was six
feet four incbes high and massive in
proportion. Of course he had a num-
bee of assistants, but he wits plenty
strongenough
ton ut i theo
ponderous
p
balls which it sent down among the
trenches. And when left alone tbere
was no diminution in the frequency of
his shots.
A more important Auxiliary to Ivan
Tnsnovsky than gun servers was the
shst•pthooters who when those of the
enemy became too troublesome picked
them off one by one until Ivan could
show a bit of itis person without get-
tingbullet in ft. Half g
n 1 a dozen of
these sharpshooters tt+ere detailed to
stand by the gunner of Old Nicholas,
but. as the siego proceeded some of
thein were picked -fl', while others were
needed at other points. At last the
number was reduced to one.

too, was In contrast with the gunner's
bristling whiskers and mustachios,
when, too, Ivan was dark, while Alexis
was light. it was remarkable how
that soft bine eye of the sharpshooter
would take sight at an Englishman, n
I'•renclubatt or a Turk and at a flash,
from Iris r3lio the object would sink
clown under the blight of death,
Nq such execution was done by an)
two persons in the Russinu army as
by this gunner 'and his protecting
sharpshooter. Whether It was the as-
set -halm under constant danger that
drew there together no one knew, Cer-
tain It was that they were devoted to
each other. Alexis was constantly on
the watch while Ivan was busy about
his gun and would warn him when he
saw a puff of smoke or heard n bullet
sing near. "Duck, Ivan!" be would
cry, mud the big man would lower him-
self just in time to be missed by a
missile giving that sound which is ran-
i h fa • upi he air, but
mu-
sical when, heard i t1 t ,
terrible when Its song is sung Close to
the ear.
One day an officer ordered Alexis to
another part of the fortress, and the
sharpshooter refused to leave Old Nich-
olas and big Ivau. The officer ordered
Alexis under arrest. As he was being
marched away the commander of the
Malakoff came by -he was constantly
going from point to point superintend-
ing the firing --and, seeing what had
occurred, stopped and inquired the
cause.
"The man is. needed at a bastion
where the French sharpshooters are
picking off our men," was the reply,
"Well," replied the commander, "you
will have to find some one else: This
man is needed here."
So Alexis remained with bis two
companions, Old Nicholas and big Ivan,
and after several other attempts had
been made by other officers at various
times to detach him had failed those
who made them began to wonder why
It was that the general would not per-
mit Alexis to be taken for any other
duty. One whose attempt had been thus
interfered with asserted that it was
because Old Nicholas was doing more
damage than any gun in the fortress.
Old Nicholas would be useless without
Ivan, and Ivan would Scot live a day
unprotected by Alexis. But, singularly
enough, this was considered not to be
the only reason why • Alexis could not
be taken away from bis post. '
One day when the general was not
near an officer carried Alexis away to
another part of the Malakoff and forc-
ed him to pick off some Turks who
had silenced a gun by killing every
guniner who attempted to serve it.
Alexis rid the Russians of this pesti-
lential nest and was permitted to re-
turn to the big gun. He found the
gun cold and the gunner lying dead
under it
Alexis at the sight gasped, dropped
his rifle and caught at the supports of
the gun. Then he bent -down and, put-
ting his arms. about his friend, moaned
in agony.
There was no trouble after that in
getting Alexis to go to any point where
his services were required. He bad
but one object -to kill as many as pos-
sible of those who had killed Ivan,
Whatever they were, English, French
or Turks, made no difference to him.
He slew them wherever he could catch
sight of them. And after Ivan's death
he began to keep count of the number
he killed. Every time he sent a bullet
into a vital part Of an enemy he would
put his hat on the end of his rifle, held
it up above the works and get a hole
in it.
The siege went on, the 'gilies con-
stantly 'working nearer. The nearer
they carne the more of them fell under
Alexis' bullets, for, being nearer, they
were more easily distinguished. They
were preparing for the final scene in
the struggle, the storming of the Mala-
koff, and were too intent upon their
work to take much care of their per-
sons.
When a number of the allies had
been kttled at a single point sharp.
sho t rs would e woe d be
ordered to observe
whence the fire came and stop it.
But Alexis was quick •to see that bis
work had been noticed, for he was ac-
customed to keep continually feeling
of hisn
e emuby exposings some anti-
cle to draw their fire. As soon as he
held an article up on the muzzle of
his rifle rind a hole was made in it he
knew it was tithe to go elsewhere.

The Unemployed In War
Times. -
In an emergency such as faces
the country this year, "the problem
of the unemployed" will be one
of the most serious that will have
to be met. Indications are many,
and need not be here enumerated,
that the number of unemployed
will be largely increased during
the coming winter. The result,
unless comprehensive pre v e n t i v e
measures are adopted, will be
great suffering std serious economic
waste.
Methods for meeting such situa-
tions have been in practice for many
years in Germany and have ac-
complished great things in checking
the evils of unemployment. The
outstanding feature of the German
plan is the free labour registries.
These are organized by the munici-
palilles and have the advice and,
where needed the financial assist-
ance of the provincial and national
governments. In many lnstances
both the trade unions and the
employers of labour have co•operated
with the registries, which are manag-
ed by committees composed of em-
ployers and employed. Where pos-
sible, such registries have buildings
devoted entirely to their own pur-
posee. Men and women desiring
work register their names and are
brought in touch with employers of
labour. Semi-weekly returns of un-
employed are exchanged between the
registries of neighbouring communi-
ties, and frequently labourers obtain
work by this means. In such cases,
arrangements are made with the
railways for cheap transportation.
Other features of these registries
that are especially worthy of note
at the present juncture in Canada,
are the arrangements that are made.
for the accommodation of the un-
employed. For this purpose, assemb-
ly hails, where work -seekers may
assembls during the day, and reading
rooms, supplied with books and news-
papers, are provided. as well as lunch
rooms and work rooms for tailoro,
cabblere, and others, where food may
be obtained and repairs to clothing
made at the lowest possible coat.
Lavatories, and, in some epees, bath
rooms ars provided, and, in addition
to such accommodation, sleeping
Hart era
are found, ,where those de-
serving it can obtain lodgings at',
nominal cost.
In times of exceptional unemploy-
ment, however, such as are caused by
war, labour registries cannot hope
to provide employment for all -who
want work, for the simple reason that
many industries find it necessary to
curtail and, in some cases, to cease
operations entirely, Under such 1
circumstances "distress works" might
be retain operation. during the winter
months. Even in the severe Canad-
ian climate there are numerous
municipal and national public works
that could he carried on during the
winter. Such work should be under-
t.tker, in large part, by the provincial
and the federal governmente, as it is
scarcely jnst to require the munici-
palities to bear all the burden result-
ing from unemployment. Moreover
the central authority, !whether prc-
viocial or federal, is in a better posi-
tion to check the inrush of unemploy-
ed
nemployed to the towns.' Is le AR axiom eyerar.
where, that industrial workers and
labourers ttsttally prefer to remain on
the verge of starvation in the eitier,
rather than tide themselves over
a period of unemployment by seeking
for work in the country. Again, the
central governments are able to en -
Courage industries to ' keep their
plants in operation, either in the
manufacture of their regular lines;df
goods or cf score oft ere which were
hitherto imported,
At the ean.e time, the financial
burdens imposed by the war and
the difficulties certain to be encounters

poesible to carry out all works ad
