She was in deadly fear of assassina-
ton and she was almost insanely SUI
perstitious.
There is abundant evidence that
from the beginning of the war she had
the purpose to bring about q separ-
ate peace between Germany and Rus
sia.
She seems to have been held back
by one fear and that was what Rus
sian people might do to her if they
found out her treachery.
According to the story current in
Russia among the best informed per-
sons 1t was the czarina that elevated
Stuermer, the German, to the place
Of foreign minister, and it was she
that urged on the ministers that had
arranged Russia's surrender just be-
fore the revolution broke. But for
the revolution the thing would have
gone through and the $50 German
and Austrian divisions now on the
Russian front would have been re
leased to be hurled against France
Before this the czarina had come
wholly under the power Of that as.
founding abnormality and yillainous
fake monk, Rasputin. 1+.sl
He never was monk, as a matter
OF fact, but early In his vicious career
he discovered that pretense of piety
was an easy way to win the conf.
dence Of the women he preyed upon.
For this purpose he proclaimed him
self the apostle of a new kind of holt
ness and put on vestments to which
he had no right. Wearing that garb
he led life Of shocking immortality
The car and czarina had one son
and several daughters. For the sake
of the succession the car and his
wife were always greatly worried
about the health Of their son. Ras-

He led the czarina along the way she
was perfectly willing to go to sep
arate peace with Germany. He was
the go.between and agent in the ne.
Gotiations; he is supposed to have
fixed the prices at which. the traitors
were to sell themselves.
Meantime scandal had arisen and
swept over all Russia concerning the
relations between Rasputin and the
czarina. There may lave been no
basis for any such reports; but it can
not be denied that the czarina helped
them along by behaving without re.

A wire from Washington late Satur-

Burke was. appointed to this position
at the beginning of Wilson's first term.
The job then paid $4,000 year, but
has since been increased, it is under

1t Is supposed that among the other
women he had hypnotized was some
one that attended upon the prince,
