 He is said to be a man of little sta- bility and can be easily influenced. lie is very sensitive as to his physical coa- dition and therefore participates in no social functions other than those he is obliged to attend. As has been stated, he comes from a line of people who have been afflicted with brain trouble.

It has been conceded that the cZar's brain is no better balanced than 1t should be. It is no wonder, then, that the crowned heads of the world regard with anxiety and concern these two men who control continental Europe and have potential influence in the affairs of the world.
