anti prohibition forces are organiz-

policies, held in his hand the nations
destinies.
His power was without limit except
his own fear of the assassin.
He proved the truth of the old de-
scriDtion of the Russian government
under czarism. 1t was a "despotism
tempered only by assassination"
All the government was controlled
by the czar, the car was controlled
by the czarina, the c2arina was con-
trolled by Rasputin.
Rasputin-this world will re much
older than it is now before it forgets
that sinister and historic figure. He
has put jim the shade all the kings
lavorites that ever were written
about. He played game that makes
theirs look like matching pennies.
Men in all the ages to come will
wonder as much about his figure as
about his almost incredible career.
Oiled hair and glittering eyes, he
looked like : stage Svengali.
He was very tall, lank and some
what sIarthy, with long black hair,
that he kept extensively oiled and
wore smoothed down on the top of his
head. He had very long features, lit
tie black eyes OF the kind always de-
scribed as beady, large mouth and a
prominent nose. With his slickery
hair and glitterlnE eyes, he must have
strongly suggested the stage edition
of Svengali. According to all accounts
he had no charm of conversation nor
of manner, and his ignorance was as
plain rs his arrogance the instant he
began 10 talk.
Altogether he was about the last
man in the world that you would
think a self-respecting woman would
have an amour with. Yet It is related
that over many intelligent and rather
wise women he exercised an eEtraor-
dinary power and over hundreds OF
others what seemed like an uncanny
fascination. All this is usually ac-
cr.'~'nd for In Russia on the theory
that he possessed some secret of hvp.
notism.
With the other unpleasant traits he
was a famous booze-fighter. Even af-
ter the prohibition of vodka he seem.
ed always to be well supplied with

among those that observed him that
he could stand more rum than any

.GROWDER Finishing
ANOTHER BIG JOB
Provost Marshal Has Some
Pretty Big Ones In His
List.
BY HARRY 3. HUNT.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. s.
When the first selectiye service man
enter their cantonments September 1s,
Provost Marshal Enoch Crowder can
call another big job-DoNE.
Within four months he has convert;
ed paper plans into an army OF living
men, the first army raised in the Uni,
ted States by selective conscript,on,
the first army raised in any country
in so short time on an absolutely new
basis from non-military population.
Crowder is used to doing big things,
never done before, solving problems
never before raised, and establishing
governmental and political systems
from the foundation up.
When Uncle Sam stepped into ;hs
Philippines, Crowder was called on to
establish military government. He
did 1t, and 1t was success.
When Cuba was evacuated somebody
had to start the Cubans to governing
themselves, to set up provisional gov.
eminent and to provide the machinery
for holding the islands first election.
Crowder did It.
Army men, OF course, think his last
job was the greatest. Probably 1t was.
1t is more difficult to introduce new
institution into an old and sophisticat.
ed social system than to build a new
one in a semi-civilized land.
In the new army. which he has so
largely made. General Crowder Va"
hold no command. He Is still briga
died general in rank, holding the job
of judge advocate general Of the army
in normal times.
He draws brigadier's pay. In the
new army, built on the plans he dc.
vised and carried out, there will be
many men appointed to higher rant
than his own. Already a big buncn
of major generals have been appoint
ed from former brigadiers.
Many army officers believe a grave
injustice had been done to Crowder,
and there is talk OF having congress
promote him by special act.
In fact, the promotion OF Crowde.
was prevented by the terms OF the law
he himself had drawn. 1t provided for
the promotion only of men who arc to
