WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Be-
tween 500, 900 and 100000 deaths
from influenza and pneumonia have
occurred among the civilian popula-
ton of the Unlted States since Sep
tember IS, according to estimates to-
day of the public service. These cal
culations were based on reports from
cities and states keeping accurate
records and public health officials
believe they are conservative.
The epidemic persists, but deaths
are much less numerous, according to
reports reaching here.
Insurance companies have been
hard hit by the epidemic, govern
nlent reports indicate, although there
are no figures available here to show
total losses sustained by the compan-
les. The government incurred liabili-
ties of more than S170.000,000 in
connection with life insurance carried
by scoidiers in army camps not in
Guiding those I'm Europe. About $2d.-
600 deaths occurred in the camps in

Then we went through the gorgeous
guest rooms used for foreign ambas-
sailors. They were as they had been,
marble baths and ALL Nothing had
been changed. But now the rooms
were icy cold and empty and there
was a bullet hole through one of the
windows. That bullet hole was mys-

Next we visited the throne room and
ballroom. The splendor was stagger-
ing. Untold wealth must have been
wrung from the peasants to pay for it.
On the wall behind the throne was
gigantic gold sun whose golden rays
extended in every direction. The
throne seemed to spring from the suns
center. 1t made fitting background
for a car.
The personal suite of the recent car
was not visible. Most of his furniture
had been sent to him at TObolsk. But
we saw the cZarevitch's apartments.

something uncanny about the place.

dressing the peasants. In proud and
arrogant splendor he stood there, while
before him, bowling low, cringed the
peasants, hats in hand, and underneath
the picture were written the words OF

What a change had come! By a
mighty swing Of life's pendulum the
land had been wrested from the nobil-
ity. Never again would it be called
sacred. The poor Nicholas II must
have had some bitter moments before
he was led out to execution. Perhaps
it flashed through his mind, IF only
