to him which read:
"At the beginning of the war was
unavoidably prevented from following
the inclination of my soul to put my
self at the head of the army. That
was why 1 entrusted you with the
chief of all the land
and sea forces.
Under the eyes of all Russia, YOUR
imperial highness has given proof dur
ing the war of steadfast bravery
which has caused feeling of pro-
found confidence and called forth the
sincere good wishes of all who fol-
lowed your operations through the in
evitable vicissitudes of war.
MY duty to my country, which has
been entrusted to me by God, impels
me to-day, when the enemy has pene-
trated into the interior of the empire
to take supreme command of the
active forces and to share with the
army the fatigue of war and to safe
guard with 1t Russian soil from at
tempts of the enemy. The ways OF
Providence are inscrutable, but my
duty and my desire determine me in
my resolution for the good of the
state.
THE invasion of the enemy on the
western front, which necessitates the
greatest possible concentration of civil
and military. authorities as we'll as the
unification of command in the field,
has turned our attention from the
southern front. At this moment /
recognize the necessity of your assist
ance and counsel on the southern
front, and I appoint you viceroy of
the Caucasus and commander-in-
chief of the valiant Caucasian army.
II express to your imperial highness
my profound gratitude and that of
the country for your labors during the
war"
The action of Emperor Nicholas N
transferring his cousin, the Grand
Duke. to the Caucasian front, is per
1 haps the most important change OF
this nature which has been made by
any of the belligerent nations. The
only comparable incident was the re-
tirement of Emperor William in
October of last year of Lieut.. General
Count Helmuth Won Moltke, as chief
of the German general staff.
The post to which Grand Duke
Nicholas has been transferred is OF
relative unimportance as compared
with the prestige and vast powers of
| his former Office as commander-in-
chief of all Russia's great fighting
| forces.
