Why do you not get your congress

Also your state legislature.
You will find some of the money

But the larger moneyed interests of

You will find that your OPPOSITION

PEASANT GENERAL RULES
RUSSIAN ARMIES NOW
Bv Wilbur S. Forrest.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON, Oct, 3.-(By Mail.)-
The real inspiration of the latest
Russian military shakeup is General
Alexeieff--a peasant. This, too, in
autocratic Russia.
Relegation of Grand Duke Nicholas
to the Caucasus and substitution OF
the car as commander-in-c chief can
only mean, according to authentic mil
itary information, that the real com
mander-in-chie is Alexeieff.
General Alexeieff replaced General
Russki a few months ago; he has
now replaced Grand Duke Nicholas
and as chief of the stat today is
the most listened to man in Russia.
The czar 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 of staff comes from
peasant parantage and is one of the
few Russian military leaders who
made his debut into the world in hum
BILE circumstances. He was born in
1843. His mother was an Armenian,
his father Russian, and for many
years estate manager for Count Mod
vinosf who took kindly interest in
the small son of his manager and
persuaded him to attend the Naval
Dntar-l,ttr,r
Alexeieffs promotion was rapid,
He was made captain in command of
ship that made its first voyage to
America. One of his most noted
moves in the Russian navy was re-
forms against the use of liquor by
by sailors. Later he left the navy
and entered the army where his ex-
ecutive ability and quick thinking
qualities started him on the road that
