AT the opening of the war Grand
Duke Nicholas was appointed COM
mander-in-c chief of the Russian armies.
He quickly came into worldwide
prominence by his series Of victories
against the Austrians in Galicia dur
ing -the summer of 1914. which made
him the popular hero of the Russians
and one of the great figures of the
war.
Even the great Austro-German drive
in the following summer hardly lessen
ed his prestige, although the Russians
werH forced back all along the front.

and part of White Russia and the

campaign the Russians, short of guns
and ammunition, preserved an I'M

Victories Added to Fame.
Despite this. the grand duke was de-
posed by Emperor Nicholas in Septem-
berS 1915, the emperor himself taking
command of the Russian armies and
sending the former chief commander
to the Caucasus. In this comparatively |
inconspicuous position little was heard |
of the grand duke as parsonage. The !
results of his military genius, however. |
soon began to make themselves appar-
ent in the results achieved by the Rus |

The brilliant campaign which he con- !
Quoted in Turkish Armenia speedily led !

stronghold in the eastern part OF the
province, and later of TrebiZond, on
the Black sea coast, and ErZingan,
farther west in the interior.

permission, although he would prob- r ably give 1t. When the interview was written ter publication we were still neutral people. He respected our neutrality, although he was hopeful that some day he could lay the case of Belgium before the world. It is enough to say that he confirmed the atrocities out of his intimate knowl- edge, and that not the loss of king dom but the inhuman methods of the invaders was the thing that had struck to his very heart. Here is that inter- view, brought now to the attention of the American people, lest we forget, in the tangle of international law and the Outcry of Germany that we are fight ing the allies war, the real cause of our entrance into the world conflict.
 To the American people today this is Q war not merely of democracy against military autocracy, not mere ly of the breaking of treaties, not at all of diplomatic juggling and disputed points of law.
 It is g war against brutality and inhumanity; war against cruelty; a
  war against ruthlessness and barbar- ism and incredible savagery; war against the German conviction that might is right.
 KING ALeERT's CHARGES.
 The first time King Albert of Bel <gium gave to the world at large his statement as to the conduct of the German army in Belgium was on that January afternoon in 1915 when, in his own villa at La Panne, he gave me the following interview. Later he re read it carefully.
 Later on, when his equerry brought me the interview, officially approved, he said, "This will make history, madame" so sure was he that the kings statement would carry with it not only conviction but the outraged sympathy of the American people.
 Fearful things have been done, par ticularly during the invasion," the king said, weighing his words care fully, although 1t would be unfair to

We have had here at La Panne many thousands of journals taken from dead or imprisoned Ger mans furnishing elaborate details of most atrocious acts. The government Is keeping these journals. They fur- nish the most elaborate detatlsi of testimony of what happened In Bel gium when 1t was swept over by a brutal army.

It is well for us to pause for a mo. ment to look back. on these, things. We were skeptical at first, but time has shown their truth, for they are of piece with the things that have happened since. They belong with the Lusitania and the little fishing boats. With the attacks on London. With liquid fire.
 We are people of homes. Politics means little to us; the quarrels of Europe nothing. But here is an enemy which has marched over the homes of nation and wantonly destroyed them. Here is an enemy that took the women and children out of these homes and with that pitiful advance guard, drove ahead. "Again and again innocent civilians of both sexes were sacrificed to protect the invading army"
 It is for the home we are fighting today. Democracy will live, because the principle of a free people will never die. Liberty will survive, so long as the soul is greater than the body. But the world will go on and progress only when we have placed on the lintel of each door in every land the sign, in blood if it must be. that the covenant of the weak and the i unprotected must be kept.
