would have kept her agreement, land
ed troops at the Dardanelles, taken
Constantinople, put Turkey out and
enabled the war to end in the autumn
Of 1915.
But about this czarina Of Russia,
she was a German princess, and al
though the country upon whose
throne she sat was at war with Ger
many. she betrayed the country she
helped to misrule for the sake OF the
country of her birth.
She was proud, arrogant. overbear-
ing, neurotic, unpopular. She had her
way absolutely with her husband,
who was cowed by her furious self
will and was weak man anyway
except when it came to sending revo-
ldtionists to the gallows or Siberia.
The czarina likewise had weak
spots in her character. She was in
deadly fear of assassination and she
vas almost lnsanely superstitious.
There is abundant evidence that
frc-a the beginning of the war she
had the purpose to bring about a. sep
arG.o peace between Germany and
Russia.
She seems to have been held back
by one fear. and that was what the
Russian people might do to her If
they found out her treachery.
According to the story current In
Russia among the best informed per-
sons it was the czarina that elevated
Stuermer, TIE German, to the place of
foreign minister, and it was she that
urged on the ministers that had ar
ranged Russia's surrender just before
the revolution broke. But for the
revolution the thing would have gone
through and the $50 German and
Austrian divisions now on the Rus
sian front would have been released
to be hurled against France.
Before this the czarina had come
wholly under the power OF that as
founding abnormality and villainous
fake monk, Rasputin.
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 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-
putin used this feeling to get the car
ina in his power.
1t is supposed that among the 9TH
er women he had hypnotized was
someone that attended upon the
prince, and that she was induced to
dope the food of her charge. Anyway,
Easputin announced that his constant
presence and care were necessary to
keep the prince we'll, and when the
czarina scotfed at the suggestion, he
foretold the princes sickness and
went away.
The prince Immediately fell Ill and

no comment, but the rest of the table
applauded.
q We had been talking about the Evil
Genius of Russia, which was the pres
ent Mrs. n. Romanoff. late czarina
and Head Trouble Maker.
She had helped lot to put the Ro-
manoff family out of business. Also
TO enable about 80 representatives of
democracies then assembled to sit al
ease about her late table.
What was about million times
more important, she had had a hand,
without knowing it or meaning it, in
bringing on the Russian revolution,
the best thing that has happened
since the Fall of the Bastile.
The reason our English friends
looked sad at the mention of the sub
Ject Is because the royal family of
England is about all German and
many Of its marriages in the last so
years nave been with German princes
or princessec.
The curse Of monarchy is real, per-
sistent and terrible. Monarchy is an
utterly lunatic and poisonous institu-
ton that should have been abolished
from the face OF the earth 40 years
ago. The price Europe has since paid
Cor clinging to the worn out old bunk
Is appalling. Witness this war.
Also, the fact that the war was not
ended months ago; also a long array
OF details that have made horrible
conflict all the worse.
One. Of the countless bad things
about 5ooling with royalty is that the
offspring of royalty can marry only
with the offspring OF other royalty.
Germany had always an amazing
oTercrop Of princelets and princess
lets. Elsewhere in the world there
were not enough to 60 around. Con-
sequently every royal family in Eu-
rope became German and is German
today.
Generally speaking, a German is
always a German. No matter where
he or she may go, the ties Of Germany
continue to bind, the thoughts and
ambitions continue to be German.
All the trouble in Greece, for In
stance, was made by German prin-
cess married to the king that the
Greek people, for some reason or 9TH
er. still allowed to mess and mishan-
die their affairs.

Editorial Comment
on Current Subjects
cAooRNA BEGINS TO EMERGE.

From the New York Times.
What is General Cadorna's obiec.
tive? He will not permit word on the
subject in any official report, but the
growing developments from day TO daY
seem to point unmistakably to some.
thing greater than the taking OF
Trieste. Besides, there should be no
need to make mystery of that. There
Is great Significance in the Official
news that the Allies are about to holo
a military conference in Paris and that
the Italian and Russian situations
ARE expected to bring about a COM
plete revision Of the Entente military
plans for the fall and winter months
This cannot mean anything less than
that the plans are to centre around the
Italian campaign; in other words,
around Austria.
II the Italian campaign were direct
ed only to the taking of Trieste, L.
would create no commotion in the al
lied high command, would certainly
not involve the readjustment OF the
whole fall and winter plan OF campaign
on all fronts. The dispatch referred
to clearly indicates that the French
and British have received a decided
jolt; that they have suddenly awaken.
ed to belief that Cadorna can furnish
them with the key of the situation
Hitherto they have not believed in the
possibility of his succeeding complete.
ly in his plans, so the dispatch int,
mates. But If the plan were only for
the taking OF Trieste, there would have
been no such skepticism, IN view OF
what he had already accomplished II.
that direction; still less would there
have been any idea of rearranging the
war moves OF the French and British to
fit in with it.
Cadorna is striking in two directions
at once, south and north, toward
Trieste and toward Klas
ward Vienna" as the latter direction
is sometimes called. in the sense thst
II there were nothing in the way no
would proceed from Klagenfurt to
Vienna. In his northern movement he
is gradually mastering the Bainsizza
Plateau. When he has that plateau ir,
his possession he can descend from It,
into the Chiapovano Valley. and when
he gets there he will be able to strike
between the two wings of the Austrian
army and separate them. That VIII
leave their TANKS in the air, and he can
turn on either or both and roll them
up.
II Cadorna does that, the description
OF his northern movement IS toward
Vienna" will cease to be merely geo.
graphical and become military. In
other words. his objective at present
appears to be neither Klagenfurt ner
Trieste, but the Austrian army, and
he seems to be working to encompass
its destruction as military force. 1t
is a vaster objective than any that any
allied commander has aimed at since
the war began. If he can break through
the Austrian army in the Chiapovano
Valley and then turn on and defeat its

Efforts OF the court physicians.
The czarlna then fell a-shakine
with superstition and gave orders tc
have the holy man brought back.
Whereupon the prince got well.
Soon after that Rasputin became

he led the ezarina along the way
she was perfectly willing TO 20 to a
separate pesee with Germany. He
was the go-between and agent in the
negotiations; he is supposed to have
fixed the prices at which the traitors
were to sell themselves.
Meantime a scandal had arisen and
swept all Russia concerning the re!a-
tons between Rasputin and the car
ina. There may have been no basis
for any such reports, but II cannot be
denied that the czarina helped them
along by behaving without restraint
or discretion, and as for Rasputin. he
openly boosted when drunk that he
had made conquest Of the czarina,
Before long 95 per cent OF the Rus
sian people knew the story and be-
lieved It. The old respect for the car
had long been dying out This story
finished It.
Pretty nearly everything in this
world seems TO have a use. soon or
late. Rasputin was a beast and a
greasy impoEtor. but he helped on the
revolution. And so, strangely enough,
did the German princess that planned
to betray Russia and unwittingly saw
