DEAD MONK OZARK FORCE"
IN RUSS POLITICAL. WORLD
Gregory Rasputin Was Strange
and Powerful Figure in Gov
ernmental Affairs.

PETROGRAD, January 8, via London,
January "A more lenient press CEN
sorship has allowed the newspapers
here to publish all conceivable versions
of the story of tho death Of the monk
Gregory Rasputin, some of them deco>
rated with the dramatic touches and
coloring of an Arabian nights adven-
ture. Comment also is made freely on
the life and influence of the dead monk.
1t is stated that Prof. Milukoff and
Vladimir N. Purishkevich, vice presi-
dent of the Union Of True Russians,
have received numerous kilograms of
first to call the attention Of the coun-
try forcibly to the evil influences at
work, chief of which is declared to
have been that of Rasputin. ..
The Bourse Gazette. however, de-
rides the tendency to exaggerate Ras-
putin's importance in Russian politics.
and states that it is a mistake to re-
gard him as symbolic Of conditions in
the country or consider his fall as
changing point in the history of the
nation.
The Rech discusses Rasputin's infiu-
ence over important officials. and
names persons. including several min
listers, who not only owed their ap-
pointment to the monks patronage.
but were daily in contact with him,
seeking his advice.
His counsel was asked in every mat
ter" says the Rech, land nobody was
ashamed to receive from his hand what
they wanted to get. But the main
thing is not Rasputin himself, but the
conditions which made his career pos
sible and allowed such a man to play
such an exceptional part. His role was
such, in short, that it made it neces-
sary for every resolution recently
passed in the duma to contain the
phrase dark forces"

ley. testifying in his own defense, has
asserted that his missions to Puget
sound and Canadian points were to in

the Russian government and Canadian

ports were used as the basis for a pro-
test filed with the State Department
through the German embassy.
John A. McGregor, president of the
Union iron works of this city, called

RAILWAY PROGRAM
UP IN HOUSE SOON
Announcement Made by Rep
reSentative Adams0n After
Visit to White House.
TO PRESS SPECIAL RULE

Railroad legislation. urged by the
President in his address to Congress,
will be taken up in the House within
a few days. Representative Adamson
Of Georgia, chairman of the House COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce. after visiting the White House,
announced that he would introduce the
bills designed to prevent railroad en-
ployes from striking without giving
sixty days notice; and to give the
president power to place tied-up rail-
roads in the hands of the military
authorities in case of necessity.
It had been understood that the Presi-
dent wanted the railroad program COM
pleted by amendments to measure
now pending in the Senate. Mr.. Adam
son said. however. that he was tired of
waiting for the Senate to act. ''They
will run on with these hearings for I
don't know how long" he added, land
I doubt II the members know much
more about the subject when the hear
ings are over than they do now"
To Press His Proposed Rule.
Mr.. Adamson also will press his pro-
posed special rule. now in the House
rules committee. for immediate con-
sideration of his resolution to extend
the life of the Newlands railway in
vestigating committee for one year
The life Of this committee will expire
next Monday, unless 1t Is extended
Objection by Representative Rayburn
of Texas yesterday blocked unanimous
consent for consideration of the reso-
luton.
Vigorous opposition to the proposed
compulsory notice measure from or
ganized labor generally is anticipated
It was to fight such proposals that the
four railway brotherhoods and the
American Federation of Labor repre-
sentatives recently allied themselves
unofficially. They oppose all measures
forcing men to labor. Brotherhood Of
f1cials are expected here within the next
few days to testify before the Senate
committee, and it Is expected that they
will inaugurate then a fight on the
Adamson proposals.

ent object of exalting his own Qualifica-

with a postscript, which he forwarded
to Lieut. Gen. Sir William Pitcairn
Campbell of the war office, advising
him to keep an eye on Edwards and
expressing a high opinion of him.
The report calls attention to the fact
that it is contrary to the regulations
for war office official to enter into
private correspondence on official mat
tiers.
Regret is expressed that letter
sent by Lord French to the war Office
was so ambiguously worded as to be
capable of misconstruction. In any
case, a portion of the letter was in the
nature of an adverse report on Brig.

been communicated to that officer at

reports regarding Mrs. Corvallis

I'VE have no doubt that her injudi-
at the war oftfce-which was confirmed
to an appreciable extent by the word

disrepute. We feel obliged to record

The court also investigated reports
that Gen. Owen Thomas, who took

events and the ambiguous wording of

If you really want to get along
rather than to see how easy time you
can have, you must apply yourself whole
heartedly--both during your working
hours and your leisure hours-to your
business. By having your mind on your
work you are apt to learn how to do it
accurately, and there is nothing more i'm
portant than accuracy. Then, don't stop
after doing what you are told; do that
and do that accurately --then find some
thing additional worth doing When the
time comes to retrench, when men have
to be laid off, if you have made yourself
really useful and valuable you will prob
ably not be dropped; you are more like
ly to be given more important work to
do, because your employer will know you
