Some of the nurses and patients soon recognized the face of their Empress, however, and since then every soldier has hoped that, if wounded, he might be sent to the low building in the shadow of the imper- ial palace where the Czarina is the presiding deity
 The religious exaltation of the soI- diers who have been cared fof by the 1Czarina and tEe Grand Duchesses has in many cases hastened their re- covery. Not for worlds would any of them die, and thus cast reproach on the nursing of the NCzarina, and de- prive themselves of the chance to trenches.

 The trials and responsibilities of hospital life are said to have worked a remarkable change for the better in the health of the Czarina The constant threat of assassination held over the Russian imperial family in peaceful times so preyed upon the Czarina's mind that at times her req son was despaired of. Since the war the Empress, like the Car, feels free to come and go as she pleases, serene in the assurance that her loved ones are safe.

RUSSIANS CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY OF CHARS
 GERMAN CONsORT

Russians ce1ebrateed on Sunday the birthday of their beloved Little Mother the Empress Alexandra, who was born June 6, 1872, and is thus rounding out her forty-thifd year or life Although she is of, German blood, the Czarina has gained much in popularity since the outbreak Of the war. Her loyal subjects forget her Teuton ancestry and remember only that she is the granddaughter or Queen Victoria

Hundreds of the Czar's soldiers are willing to take oath that they have been cured of srieyous wounds and terrible diseases bv the magic touch of the Empress Soon after the war commenced the Czarina and her two e4dests daugh- ters the Grand Duchess Olga and Tatiana donned the gray uniforms of the Red Cross and offered their services as, nurses.

characterization no longer applies to her, for although daily confronted with scenes of misery and pain, she has found in humble service a sur cease from sorrow. The old faipting fits, which in the past often brought
 her near tod eath's door, are said to have ceased entirely In a time of universal death and deso1ation, the shadow of death has been lifted for
 the Czarina, and she again knows ppeace.
 .eThe Little White Mother" all though she sits on a throne of gold incrusted with a multitude of precious
 jewels, is at heart lover of home and quiet simple life. The pomp and
 ostentation of the imperial court, with it's scandals and intrigues, were from the first distasteful to her. Never popular with the fashionables of the Russian capital, she soon won her
 way to the hearts of the common people, and her devotion and self
 sacrifice in the present crisis have endeared her to them thousand fold.
 The Czarina was know in her hap py gir1hood days as the Princess A1ix.
 Her father was Ludwig w, Grand Duke of the Little German state of
 Hesse, and her mother Alice Maud Mary, second daughter of Queen Vic toria. Her mother died in 1878 and
 her father in 1892. The Czarina's
 eldest sister became theb ride of Ad-
 mfral Prince Louis of Battenberg, un-
 til recently the first sea lord of the British navy. Another sister, Eliza beth, was married to the Grand Duke Serg1us of Russia. The third daughter of Princess Alice and the Hessian Grand Duke was Irene Marie, mar ried to Prince Henry Duke of Prussia the Kaiser's brother. The Czarina' s only brother 1s Ernst Louis, Grand

 The oldest of the Czarina's children, Grand Duchess Olga. is now in her twentieth year, The Grand Duchess Tatiana, who is also serving as a nurse, will be eighteen next week The other daughtres, Marie and An astasia, are soon to be sixteen and fourteen respectively. The only son of the Russian imperial pair, Alexis Nicolaivitch is in his eleventh year.

BIG RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE
LAUNCHED; EXPECTED TO
CHANGE WAR SITUATION
Austro Germans Leave
Macedonia to Meet Unex-
pected Attack
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Dec. 30.-From the Pripet
river to Bukowina the Russians and
Austrians are engaged in battles ex-
pected, by Russian miliI.ry observ-
ers, to change the military situation
in the Russian theatre in few days.
An unconfrmed Rome report de-
clares that the strength of the Rus
sian offensive has caused the whole
sale withdrawal of Austro- German
troops from the Macedonian frontier
to meet the Russian attacks. One
version says Russia's new move is the
forerunner of Roumanian entry into
the war on the side of the entente,
with Russia guaranteeing the capture
of Bukowina.
The French have landed troops on
the Greek Island of Castelorizo, off
Asia Minor and at the seaport of
Adelia with the intention, it is said
to menace communications of any
hostile forces attempting operations
against Egypt.
Inc transfer of some British troops
from Saloniki to Orfano, a small
Greek port sixty miles east of Sa-
loniki, is designed to check any attack
on the allies base fr,m this direction
The intense action in Vosges on
the western front has given way to
bombardments in the region of Hart
manns- Weilerkopf, Metzeral and
Linge.
Artillery fighting continues on the
Austro-Italian front, but heavy fight
ing is reported from the Sanjak front
of Montenegro, where Italian troops
are reported to have occupied Du
razzo.

/ in the Adriatic in action with tht

Washington, Dec. 30.-Austr: re.
ply to the second American note on
sinking the Ancona, three thousand
words long, is being transmitted to

be laid before the president and Sec
rotary Lansing within the next TWEEN

At the same time he reported
Americans at Vienna, not having GER

wise their passports for travel
through Germany to Holland, so as to
embark for home. Whether this re-

Of the tenor of the Austrian reply
it was said here that the situation is
less critical than it was after the first
exchange of notes. The unusual
length of the note is taken to mean
that it contains an argument over the
facts or new evidence Austria offers.
