CZARINA'S TREACHERY
COST KITCHENER LIFE
Told Kaiser of Proposed Trip Over
Private Wire to Potsdam.

New York, Oct. 25.-The Czarina
had a private wire leading from
her apartment in the winter palace
at Petrograd to Potsdam. over
which the German government was
apprised of the allied plans 90 far
as they were revealed to Russia, it
was declared tonight by Commits
siOner Henry W. Mapp. head of the
salvation Army in Russia, in the
course of an address at the Salma-
gundi Club.
The Kaiser was fully acquainted
with the proposed sailing of Lord
Kitchener through the treachery of
the Czarina, said Mr.. Mapp. who
said she wired all details Of Kit
Chener's proposed visit to Russia to
the German Emperor directly after
learning them.
The Czarina was the great force
in Russia" said Commissioner Mapp.
The Kaiser controlled Russia. The
corruption, treachery and intrigue
of the Russian court was terrible.
The treachery of the former En-
press was directly responsible for
the death of Lord Kitchener"

Uncle Sans Big FOREIGN Loans.

Inc largest asset of the United
States Treasury is what our asso-
Ciates in the war owe US. Credits
for more than s7,09S. 100000 have
been established, exceeding by 100
per cent all the gold and silver and
other Valuables held in the Treasury.
We have not stinted in advancing
them money to spend in the war
against Germany, but have been
limited only by their necessities.
1t was generous, but it was also
prudent, for it was one of the ways
of making our national strength
register against the enemy. The
vital fact was that the money must
be furnished as it was needed
That fact remains unchanged, and
the time has not been reached when
the country is ready to listen to
faultfinding with the way the money
was turned over to our fighting
comrades. If it had been necessary
we would have given it readily.
The original war finance bill
specified that the sums set aside
for the use of the allies should be
used in purchasing their bonds. 1t
soon became apparent, however,
that this procedure involved dan
gerous delay in opening our re-
sources to their armies. An amend
ment was put through by Secre-
tary McAdoo authorizing short time
loans. and practically all of the OBJ
legations from the allies are in the
form of demand notes, bearing in
terest at the liberty bond rates.
Interest is being paid on them at
the rate of 31O,0OO.o00 monthly and
in a year it will be $4,000, 900
monthly. The diplomatic notes are
accepted by the Treasury Depart
ment on assurance from the State
Department as to the authority of
the representatives of the borrow
ing governments to execute the OBJ
legations. Representative Sloan Of
Nebraska, who recently criticized
the manner in which these loans
had been made, really has but lit
tie cause for worry. Victory will
make these obligations the greatest
asset of our Treasury. Whether
they stand as bonds or diplomatic
obligations" they will be soundly
underwritten by triumph in the
field. Our foreign loans are one
division of what is popularly called
the cost of the war" that will take
care of it's own refunding.-Thomas
F. Logan, in Leslie's.

SHIP OF POISON
ELUDES U-BOAT
Drums of Death Gas Under
Shell Fire Give Thrills
to u. S. Crew.

Paris.-A poison ship is the strang-
est vessel that has come out of
America to help beat the Hun. The
tale Of its voyage of thrills has come
from an American naval base at a
French port
Several thousand huge steel drums,
containing gallons of the most deadly
poison gas ever made. were on board.
The drums Of death held enough
poison gas to kill the whole German
army.
What II a torpedo struck the ship
or a submarines shell ripped a hole
IN one of those drums? The imagina-
ton cracks under the strain.
So on board the poison ship there
was a gas mask drill daily. Thou
sands Of miles from the trenches, in
the midst OF the ocean, there was
the strange sight of a gas mask drill.
Every member of the crew and
every officer had been taught how to
sling the fiat bag over the shoulder;
now to snatch ii around and hook 1t
under the chin at the first warning
OF danger; how to snap the clothes
pin closing both nostrils how to grip
the mouthpiece between the teeth,
ana how to breathe through the tube.
Then Comes Danger.
They had drill like that three times
day And on the tenth day there
was engine trouble and the poison
ship had to drop behind Then, Just
at the end Of the evening gas mask

The poison ship was limping along
at six or seven knots. and the U-boat
was coming to the surface and man

poison ship shouted orders to open
fire with the stern gun, to S. o. S.
Tor help and to tell the chief engineer

respond Immediately or the poison
ship was done for
Shots fell astern. The submarine
was gaining. Shells came whining
nearer. And the shots from the de
terse guns were falling short
Ihen came wireless word that a de
stroyer. just over the horizon, was
speeding to the rescue. Every man
on the poison ship had his gas mask
hooked under his chin. in the "alerte"
position And every one was praying

lNLSSLUSK TODAY
TO EXPLAIN WHY
SHE KILLED WIFE

, longs. II he can't get an audience
outside, he will probably make use of
the faithful domestic ear.
Some reflections Of this sort kept
fitting through my mind as 1 sat in
the court room yesterday, the most
dramatic OF the Lusk trial
One has an uncomfortable sense of
eavesdrOpping while Grace Lusk is
on the rack, answering questions in
short broken sentences, in a voice
that seems to hold all the heartbrealI
in the world.
Again and again that deadly and
insidious phrase cropped out, He
spoke OF the lack of appreciation at
home" or 'he said his wife didn't un-
derstand him."
The frail woman, sitting in the wit
ness chair. swayed from side TO side;
more than once the crowded court
room expected she would faint. even
as two women among the spectators
tainted.
Or, Roberts WeDt. TOO.
"He told me there was no happl-
ness-no love on the part OF either"
and Grace Lusk's voice quivered for
a moment and then. with a superhu-
man effort, she again took up the
thread of her story.
And yet, in spite OF this testimony.
which rang true as gospel. I have
seen DR.. Roberts weep on the stand
when he mentioned his late wife's
name, the wife whom he neglected
and was unfaithful 10, and who, ac-
cordinE to popular rumOF, more than
once sxtrieated him from some of his
unsavory affairs.
A married man is 4 sorry proposi-
tion. romantically speaking, and
when the show down comes, he wilt
surely bide with wife. whose alleged
lack OF sympathy was the cause of
the unhappiness in the first place.
Whether she is sympathetic or un-
sympathetic, the fact that she is his
wife gives her a dignity that every
other woman in the world lacks in
his eyes. She is the chief OF his royal
highness' appuTtenanees: and on this
account, respect and consideration
must be shown her.
A majority Of men, I am afraid,
are not averse to making a collection
of what we shall continue to call
ears" but in the final analysis they
are willing. more than willing. to
keep on with the first and original!
Eve.
