PEASANT GENERAL

, ONE OF THE FEW MILITARY LEAD
ERS OF THE WORLD WHO CAME
FROM HUMBLE STOCK

places the Grand Duke in Charge

By WILBUR S. FORREST

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON, Sept. 14.-(By mail. y
The real inspiration of the latest Rus
sian military shakeup is General Alex
eieff-a peasant. This, too, in autocra-
tic Russia.
to the Caucasus and substitution of the
Czar as Commander-in-C Chief can only
mean, according to authentic military
information, that the real commander
in-chief is Alexeieff.
General AIexeieff replaced General
Russki a few months ago; he has
now replaced Grand Duke Nicholas
and as chief of staff today is the most
listenedto military man in Russia.
The Car will listen and the Czar's
military moves can be put down as
Alexeieff's, declares gossip from Lon
don military experts.
The new chief staff comes from
peasant parentage and is one of the
few Russian military leaders who
made his debut into the world in hum
BILE circumstances He was born in
1S43 His mother was an Armenian,
his father a Russian, and for many
years estate manager for Count Mod
vinoff who took kindly interest in
the small son of his manager and per-
suaded him to attend the naval school
at St. Petersburg
Alexeieff's promotion was rapid. He
was made captain in command of a
ship that made it's first voyage to Am
erica. One of his most noted moves
in the Russian navy was reforms
against the use of liquor by sailors.
Later he left the navy and entered the
army where his executive ability and
quick thinking qualities started him
on the road that ended at chief-of-
staff-"C "Commander-in-Ch military
experts say.
