OF teaching the Japanese respect for
the bear that walks like a man" but
the car refused to put him at the
head of the army on the plea that
he was a cavalry man and had had no
experience in commanding infantry"
Instead he chose KurOpatkin, ancient
chief of staff of SkObeleff, the man
who said that war is the only bust
ness on earth that can be carried on
without money.
When the war ended so disastrously
for Russia, Nicholas the Little had
seen a great light. He had hated his
big cousin Nicholas mainly because
he knew that Russia said, behind his
back, that Nicholas, son of Nicholas,
ought to be car in his place. Never
theless, it was the iron grand duke
whom he had placed in charge of the
troops in and around St. Petersburg
who saved his throne for him when
the revolution broke out in 1906.
Nicholas, the Iron Duke, stands six
feet in his stocking feet. He is splen-
didly proportional for his height, his
eye is cold and stern, his features
aquiline. His father, also a Grand
Duke Nicholas, was the brother of
Car Alexander First-the car who
has gone into history as the man who
freed the serfs and was later assas-
sinated by the nihilists. Nicholas.
ear of Russia, is the son of Alexander
III. So the two Nicholases are second
cousins, though the commander-in-
chief of the Russian forces is only 10
years older than his puny relative
called the Great White Car.
Nicholas Nicholaiovitch is very
likely 10 be made a field marshal on
his own account and so maintain the
family tradition. Today the grand
duke has no interest in anything I'M
related to military affairs. Since 1905
he has given his entire time to the
rehabilitation of Russian military
prestige-with what excellent effect
is shown by the recent overwhelming
Russian victories in Galicia.
Nicholas often sleeps in the war Of
fee at Petrograd. He has a narrow
iron bed in his office there-a bed
which, like his chair and his desk.
has to be made to order because or
his extraordinary height and size.
Like nearly every other Russian,
Grand Duke Nicholas NichOlaioVitch
spent a stormy and riOtOus youth.
He was morganatically, married to
Madame Burinine, the wealthy widow
of a Moscow tea merchant, and this
fact contributed to his years Of dis
favor with the car. In 1907-during
the lifetime of his morganatic wife
he married at Yalta Anastasie, second
daughter of King Nicholas of Monte
negro, and consequently a sister of
Helene, queen Of Italy. Anastasie
had also been married before, but di
vorced her husband to become a Rus
sian grand duchess
Notwithstanding the fact that he put
aside his mOrganatic wife to marry
her Nicholas is said never TO have
been in love with Anastasie Of Mon
tenegrO, but TO have given his heart
for all time TO Fedora Pateskaja. a
Polish beauty, whom he could not
marry because of his rank.
