BEHIND THE SCENES.

Mr.. Iincoln's homely phrase about
swapping horses in the middle of the
stream is forcibly recalled by the Gar
of Russias action in removing the
Grand Duke Nicholas and taking SUI
preme command OF his forces. 1t is
also recalled that nobody ever snapped
horses more often than MIR. Lincoln
did before ne found a combination
that satisfied aim.
The new order of things In Russia
will be watched with undisguised in
terest throughout the world. The
Car has assumed a tremendous res
possibility and in his success or fail
ure is involved the final victory or
defeat of his country.
A long continuation of recent re-
verses to the Russian arms can have
but one outcome-German victory.
| One can never judge fairly Of a
generals success or failure until his
tory sits and fixes the facts. II
would be unfair to the Grand Duke
| to pass judgment on his work for
Russia, or to condemn the Car for
his drastic action until it is known
what Influences were at work. what
opportunities each had. what re
sources, and what support. In cases
such as this, great deal more is
done behind the scene than before.
We can see only what is before.
