PLANS OF ITALIAN
DREADNOUGHT STOLEN
Government Fears Designs for Pow
erful New Warship Have Fallen
Into Foreign Powers Hands.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald
London, Nov. 29.-Writing from Rome.
a correspondent says that although every
effort is being made to conceal the facts,
considerable alarm is being created at
the Italian ministry of marine, as well
as at Spezia, as the result OF the disap-
pearance of plans and specifications de-
signed for a new class of superdread-
noughts.
The most searching Investigations have
failed to reveal any traces of the docu-
ments. and though copies Of them exist,
the fear that they may have fallen into
the hands of a foreign power will proba-
bly, require that the designs shall be mod
ified in more than one important partic-

no friends, no disinterested advisers. no
ministers whose popularity in the country
could add something to his own. And
amid these ruins he stands alone, a
solitary figure, the more pathetic be-
cause he does not realize the tragedy
of his own fate"

the Russian people felt vague Fremont.

mained immovable, assured of victory:
1t is said, by splrituaIistic mediums
who constitute his most intimate society.
As to the Empress, she seems to have
failed to inspire any personal attachment
outside her family circle, beautiful and
well-meaning though she is.
Misfortune seemed to be her LOT
-Four times her hopes of giving an heir
to the crown were brought to nausht
as one girl after another was born To
her, adding to her blighted life the
knowledge that in this respect Russia
was bitterly disappointed. Her relations
with her husband were. .affectionate, but
not tender, and she never knew how to
manage him, or to develop by her SYM
pathy the best side of his nature. her
manner toward him also was not whatNit
ought tc have been. She treated him
more like a naughty boy than like a
monarch whose first subject she was.
A Spoiled Heir.
The most pitiful figure of all is the
little czarvitch, of whom the book
records:
The child, who has been very delicate
ever since his birth, suffers from an or
ganic disease Of the arteries, which are
liable to rupture upon the slightest provo-
cation and even without cause.
He gets a few lessons from his moth
er. and once or twice a week a master
comes to teach him how to read and
write; but his only attendant is a -sailor,
who follows him about everywhere and
who Is at the same time his nurse and
his tutor and guardian.
He Is constantly impressed with hIs
own importance, and already knows very
well his rights, though he entirely ig-
nores his duties. Arrogant by nature.
this arrogance is fostered instead of be-
ing corrected. No one is allowed to re-
buke him or even to contradict him. The
czarevitch beats his sisters, tyrannizes
over his servants. and when any one at
tempts to correct him he instantly
threatens the unfortunate person with ali
kinds Of punishments."

translated the book into quite readable

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
London, Nov. 29.-To many unsophisti-
Gated people such a book as Behind
the Veil at the Russian Court" just pub
lished, suggests all sorts OF thrilling pos
sibilities.
The very title hints at scandalous
chronicles, but as a matter Of fact Count
Paul Vassilrs peeps behind the veil owe
nothing of their interest to backstairs
gossip and sheer scandal.
The book purports to be the hum of
observations gathered into a diary kept
for years by one who held high rank
and an important post in the imperial en-
tourage at St Petersburg.
Whatever measure of truthfulness be-
longs to it. the book certainly affords
many well-limned pictures Here is one
OF Car Nicholas H., who, by the way,
appears to be a convinced believer in
spiritualism:
Nicholas IL, is one of those timid.
weak natures who nevertheless like to as
sert themselves at certain moments in
matters utterly without Importance, but
which, to their eyes, appear to be vital
ones. His mind is as small as his per-
son; he sees the biggest events go by
without being touched, or being even
aware of their great or tragic sides.
His want of mind makes him always
endorse the judgments Of the last per-
son he speaks to. Like every spoiled
child he has no heart, not because, he
is unable to feel any woes except his own
or to understand any wants when he
himself has none.
Tennis and Tragedy.
People have asked themselves whether
the indifference he has shown in grave
moments of his life has been affected or
real When the news was brought to him
OF that terrible disaster of Tsushima,
which cost Russia her whole feet and the
loss of so many precious lives, the EN-
peror was playing tennis in the park of
Tsarskoye Selo. He read the telegram
that sounded the knell Of so many hopes,
and then quietly resumed his game. not a
muscle OF his face moving.
WAS it u<ebicism. indifference, or
strength of mind almost supernatural?
The world tried to guess, but was afraid
to think that it arose from inability to
understand the greatness Of the catas-
trophe"
The tragic destiny that seems to en-
wrap the ruler OF all the Russias is
sketched in a few graphic lines:
Danger surrounds him, treason dogs
his footsteps: his nation dislikes and
distrust him; his family is hostile to him;
his only brother is banished, his mother
is estranged from him. the wikl of his
bosom is the victim of a strange and mys
terious malady; his only son and the
successor to his throne and crown is

BEAUTIFUL MOOJESKA PARK.
Golden Opportunity to Buy a Lot in
 Ideal Spot on Easy Terms.

Ideal Spot on Easy Terms.
 Just as the beautiful Mod- jeska was "Queen of the Stage" so is this stately tract, Mod jeska Park, Queen of the Su- burbs." Designed for beauty as well as practica bility, Modjeska Park is sought by the modern home builder as well as the in vestor It's beautiful rose and carnatioD circles give it a rare 1 landscape beauty. Added to this are it's stately mission entrances which impart an air of elegant exclusiveness. The design of the entire tract is a triumph of modern engineering.
 The tract is situated in one of the most fruitful garden-spots around Los Angeles. The inn provementS are of the highest character, including cement curbs and sidewalks on most of the property.
 A magnificent roadway of 120 feet in width passes through the center of this beautiful park, and within the limits of the tOWnsite 15 feet of this magnifi- cent boulevard are reserved for flowers and park purposes, leav- ing a driveway of about 50 feet on either side.
 At street intersections, at re- gular intervals, floral circles have been put in and named af- ter native flowers, each circle named after the flower with which it is planted. The ave nueS running east and west are named after forest trees and the streets running north and south after fruit trees.
 Modjeska Park is in the fam ous Crystal Springs artesian belt. Flowing wells are secured at 80 feet.
 Beautiful Modjeska Park ad- joining the lively city of Watts, which latter city lies a little south of the limits of Los An geles, only a few years ago a ing city of over 1000 inha abitants, banks, public schools and be- autiful high school, lies directly between Los Angeles and (San Pedro) Los Angeles harbor. There are four electric car lines between Watts and Los Angeles, and practically the junction of six different electric car lines.
 Modjeska Park is level. nicely laid out and contains cement walks and curbs. The Pacific Electric Railway passes directly through the property, the run ming time from Los Angeles be- ing about twenty minutes. The Long Beach Boulevard passes very close to the Park. This boulevard is one Of chain now being constructed through Los Angeles City and County. Mod jeska Park is designed for a home place. The soil is very productive and especially suit able for gardening.
 Remember, ,Modjeska Park lies between Los Angeles and her harbor, and make no mistake, as with all cities, they grow to their harbor, which will be the case of Los Angeles by 1920, when that city will have a popu- latiOn of over 100000.
 Lots in this beautiful tract are selling from $500 to $500; $1OO down, $1O.OO monthly. No i'm terest or taxes until paid for and by the time you have them paid for will sell for double the am- ount you gave for them.
