While sergius Witte is in America

his downfall.

peror of Russia. They are improving

like Mr.. Witte personally, and we can
now well understand why. Since we
have met and talked with this emf
nent Russian, since we have had oppor-
tunity to judge Of the boldness, the
frankness and courageousness of his
methods, we can appreciate how at
times he must have talked too plainly
and independently to please the little
father of the Russians.
We can now we'll believe the many
stories that have come out of st. Pc
tersburg Of Whites telling the car
unwelcome truths and trying to beat
what dull mind. And we may also give
full credence to the report that the
weak car not only dislikes but is
afraid Of this big, masterful Russian.
Mr.. Whites friends say he is the
real ruler of Russia. He has been for
ten years. He will go home stronger
than. ever. He is going home to his
