In a central square the car stepped
out Of his automobile and inspected the
local troops. II was no perfunctory
ceremony. At a brisk pace he walked
along the entire front, stopping now
and then to exchange a word with one
Of the p~rivates. Then he walked back
thoughtfully TO the center of the line
and made a brief extempOre speech
It was without Oratorical embroidery,
simply worded and matteroffact in de-
livery, but wonderfully effective. He
reviewed the history Of the war, re-
minded the men Of Russia's glorious
past, and spoke Of the splendid deeds
Of the army in the present campaigns
DO as your brothers have DONE" he
said IN closing. do as they have one
