IN the wall about thirty inches from the
floor There were bullet holes also In
the floor and on y some blood stains,
This IL the only evidence there Is OF exf-
cutions.
Considering the fact that at the time
there were besides seven in the Cars
family one physician, one valet and one
maid. ten persons must have been exc
cuted, or some of them or all escaped.
One of the two physicians was dis
charged beforehand.
Early in July the Bolsheviki obtained
information which led them to fear that
an effort would be made to liberate the
Czar. The house across the street. from
which an Ekaterinburg citizen had been
secretly watching the Czar walk In the
garden, was occupied by Bolshevik
troops with machine guns. After this
man left no one saw the Car.
After the Bolshevkl' were driven from
the city by the Czechs a judicial COM
mission was appointed. Pieces in the
wall and floor were sawed out and taken
to the courtroom sealed. II the family
were executed In this house they must
have been seated on chairs. but no chairs
were found. The bodies have never been
found, and no traces of them have ever
been discovered. While II is possible
that the Bolsheviki took every evidence
with them, this does not seem logical
considering the hopes of the Bolsheviki
who were guarding the Gar.
On July 20 an Ekaterinburg citizen
walked into the stationmaster's room at
Ekaterinburg station. He says that the
Car and his family, whom he had seen
before. were hidden IN an inner room.
While he is the only one in Ekaterinburg
today who claims to have seen the
Car after the reported execution, he Ii
considered a reliable man.
Added to all the evidence here must
be German influence which at the time
was very great. This Is believed to
have been exerted in the Cars behalf
After my Investigation am Of the opin-
ion of most people hero that there is not
sufficient evidence to prove that the
family were executed. There Is cir
cumstantial evidence that they may
still be alive.
The question of the Cars fate is q
conundrum to which even the judicial
commission has not found the answer.
The Czsr may be alive, or he may be
dead. Who knows? .>.I

pany. 1O9th Infantry, this soldier was
one of the Citys heroes in the chateau

is nursing an ugly wound In his left
arm.
He was in the front line Of his COM
pany on July 16, and was charging
enemy machine gun nests when one or
the bullets from boche gun hit nm on
the arm just below the elbow
A visitor at the hospital is greatly i'm
pressed by the number of left arm and
to explain why so many men had been
hit on those limbs.
THE American soldier" said An
thony. "is taught to protect himself m

forward he reduces the hazard to
minimum by advancing at an angle. BY
doing so his left side and particularly
his left arm that supports his rihe Is ex.

the open field Then they kept going
forward just as the Americans did IN
the Revolution and other wars. Fritz
proved to be a good shot and slugged ns
hard. and most of us were slugged on
the left wing"
Having offered such a lucid eXplana-
ton, Mr. Caveretta called upon bunch
Of comrades to support his testimony.
In the group were many Pennsylvanians'

no less remarkable and intense than

 These syliogisms addressed to Pilate woul1 have appealed to him about as inteliigently as the accusations against Paul appealed to Gallo: "rhis man persuadeth r1on to worship God con trarv to the law" "IiEt when Paul was about to open his moutl', Gallio said: If, indeed. it were a matter of wrong and wicked. reason would that l should hear you; trt if they are ques- tions about words and names and your own law look to it yourselves, I am not minded to judge of these matters And he drove them from the judgment seat"
 Now, suppose this had bsef the re- sutt of the proceedings against the defendant in tire cause apalnst him now under oonsiJGntionH There would have been no viu iitetion of the truth ot the prophecies V hici; the de- tendant had uttered rces.r0ing him self, and he would etand convicted of haYlng spoken lresumptuously.
 Hut this utterance of his. "1 and the Father ere one" was full of meaning to the lnind which grasped the concept Of the Father: his prophe- cies regarding himself heinz passed by as the idle wind Piate would have taken notice if the detantant had cast mud on the statue of Jupiter, or if he had smeared with grime that of Juno, and to his mind this would have been what Gallio denominated wrong and wicked villany; but the utterances of the defendant which moved the Jews were caviar to the Roman.
 This Is in acordance with the law, not one jot or title of which shall pass until all be fulfilled, according to the defendant and savo to those who are slow to believe all that the prohpets have spoken, it most certainly did be- hoove the defendant to suffer these things and to enter into his glory as the promised prophet, other review of the matter being "lo frit away the weight of the matter"

great work like I wanted to do in the ministry l would be justified in accept ing the call, but if I couldn't then I wanted someone else to take my place. With no self-praise, I think I can truth fully say that as a teacher my work was satisfactory, judging from what those who knew me as teacher said. and so l continued my work in the schools. If you stop to think about it, there is close analogy between the teacher in the school and the minister In measure they are both doing the same sort of work. Finally. when I had made up my mind to join the ministry I was still teaching. This was in 1910. when l accepted the call of the Mayfeld pres bytery of the Cumberland Presbyterian church, Kentucky synod

-DR. A. D. RUDOLPH.

"Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and some of the middle states" pr. Rudolph continued, "and quite a number of the southern states did not go into the union and these have continued right along with steady progress and Christian fortitude the work of years and years of Christian endeavor.
 But far more to the point than any mere denominational or creed discus son," said pr. Rudolph. "is the present war situation from a religious standpoint, for it is bound to have great effect upon Christianity. We hear great deal about the general brotherhood of mankind;' the epression is a familiar one; now cart say that such condition will ob- tain when this present world war is over, but what I do say is, that I be- lieve when peace is declared and the white badge of courage flames upon the breasts of all true hearted and Chris tian people, that there will be brother hood among the churches that will be more dominant and more vital than it has has ever been before. Ministers will then preach what they should have been preaching years ago. rather than enn- phasizing denomination and creed. don't believe this war will bring about one great church or denomination; but I believe that 1t will bring about spiritual union wherein we shall exalt Christ above all else We have been drifting to- ward too much creed; too many isms;' too much talk and discussion, ministers as well as laymen, and the effect of the war upon this condition I believe will be to bring us more closely together and in attune with great spiritual needs"
 50 much has been said and written during the war of the Germans idea, Me und Gott,' which is largely tradi- tional with them as a nation," Dr. Ru- dolph said, and we can't blame them when they have been taught by the gov ernment as a part of their education to exalt this idea; the blame rests with the government more than with the German people themselves. If the government would strike hands with the allied nations of the world today on a level. then the spiritual brotherhood which does not ex- ist now, and never can under such con- ditions, would cover this great, beauti- ful world like a benediction."
