Story Of Great Influence Wife
Former Russian War Minister

She was 25 years old at that time
and General Soukhomlinoff was co.
Much Of the time during todays ses-
sion was occupied in reading more
than 100 letters written by the former
witch, former chief of staff, in the Pc
riod between the beginning of the war
and the resignation of General Souk-
homlinoff. In some of the letters COM
plant was made Of the slow movement
of troops and the lack Of energy shown
by commanding officers. The troops
were praised but it was stated Russia
would be letter off if certain generals
were on the side Of the enemy. In one
letter General Soukhonlinoff said
Russia had two enemies in the eau
casus-the Turks and General Mish-
laievesky.
General Soukhomlinoff complained
often that he was hindered by the
ministry of the interior and by various
grand dukes. In one letter he ac-
cused Grand Duke Sergius of exert
ing a harmful influence in the artil-
lery department. He also was bitter
toward General Guchkoff. former min
lister Of munitions. saving he was
spreading reports concerning lack of
munitions at the front which might be
of ad"antage to the enemy. and that
this virtually amounted to treason. It
appeared from letters that General
Soukhomlinoff became aware Of the
shortage Of supplies on the Galician
front. and accordingly advised a rapid
advance and the seizure of the four
principal Carpa THAN passes, after
which. he felt. the troops should take
the defensive for the winter.
