from the late Cars diary is reproduced
from the Russian newspaper Izvestia by
the Vossische zeitung, of Berlin. Ger
mania also has quotations from It,
The Vossische Zeitung explains that
the first extracts given are entries made
on the days Immediately following the
aodication last year, while the Gear was
on his return journey from Pskov to
headquarters at Mogileff Germania de-
scribes the entries as confirming the i'm
| preston made by those already quoted
OF the insignificance Of the personality
or the late Russian Emperor.
The most interesting fact disclosed by
the new extracts Is that on April s,
1917 the Gar was preparing for jour

Vossische Zeitung says:
The hoped-for possibility of his de-
parture without hindrance he derived
from the Government Of Lvov and Ke-
rersky. In the Romanoff archives is
a cipher letter from Prince Lvov to the
Gear. In which the Prince promises to
take the Gear to Murman. This letter
