On the wall behind the throne was q
gigantic gold sun whose golden rays
extended in every direction. The
throne seemed to spring from the suns
center. It made a fitting background
for car.
The personal suite Of the recent car

had been sent to him at Tobolsk. But
we saw the czarevitch's apartments.
This was palace in itself. There was
something uncanny about the place.
The rooms were still warm. An elder
down puff lay ready on the royal bed,
the clock on the mantel still licked.
Everything seemed ready for the young

there would be a blare of trumpets and
the royal party would enter. We ask
ed the old servant If he liked the royal
family. "Yes," he said, 'they were
good to me. They were kind employ
ers. l have nothing against them"
Before we left we passed the main
entrance to the palace. A great mar

painting Of the czar's grandfather, adj

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
this former car, II am glad to see
you. / thank you for your courtesy.

BIG MEN LONG FAST FRIENDS
Appreciation Of Each Others Genius
Drew Henry Watterson and James
Whltcomb Riley Together.

Some winters ago 1t was q common
sight on a certain hotel veranda in
Miami, Fla, to see two white-haired
gentlemen Of the old school--one old
and bent, the other active despite the
gray head-conversing in intimacy.
This corner of the porch was COM
monty known to the hotel guests as
the "Watterson-Riley corner" The
friendship between Marse Henry Wat
terson and James Whitcomb Riley was
based upon appreciation Of one genius
for another. ...'ss'y~''il!s EsY
If one had Ventured near enough
to these two he could have heard Mr..
Riley reciting his poems over many
times to Colonel Watterson. Colonel
Watterson would ask Mr.. Riley to re.
cite "Granny's Come to Our House to
Stay" over and over again. They
were constant companions except
when Colonel Watterson played golf,
as he was wont to do, for Mr.. Riley
was an invalid many years before his
death.
On one Of Mr.. Riley's birthdays the
school children celebrated with a pa.
rade. Mr.. Riley recited many of his
poems from a platform, While he was
supported by a nurse. Before he fin.
ished he said, "NOw ] refer you to the
greatest editor and educator in our
country" indicating Colonel Waiter
son, 'for any other information"
Colonel Watterson rose and simply
asked that Mr.. Riley recite "Granny's
Come to Our House" again.

HUN DRIVE SLOWS UP TIRE OF SLAUGHTER
ALLIED ARMIES FIGHT HARD TO
CHECK kAISER'S HoRDES.
British and French Force the Germans
to Throw More Troops
Into Battle.

London, March 25.-Battllng for ev-
cry point of vantage, giving ground
only when overwhelmed by numbers,
and exacting frightful toll of lives
for every foot of ground abandoned,
the British line in Picardy is still in
tact. While the German onslaught
gained ground at number of points
on Monday, there was no sign of dis
lntegration in the British forces, which
at many points, especially on the north
ern end of the long line of battle, are
standing firm.
The German official report tells OF
the defeat of the British and their
retreat via Ypres and Sally" This
would seem to indicate heavy fighting
far to the north of the Somme battle
field, of which no British report has
spoken.
There is. however, a town called
Sally south of Bapaume and eastward
Of this place is a town known as Ytres.
1t is probable that these were the
points referred to In the statement
from Berlin. The largest gains made
by the Germans have been west of st.
Quentin, where they have captured
Nesle and Guiscard.
These points, which are at the tip
Of the Teutonic attack, are more than
ten miles from the front as 1t stood
March 81. Military observers discern
In the scheme of the German attack a
repetition of the German "pincer" sys-
tenn of attack, which was used by Won
Mackensen in Russia, Roumania and
Serbia. This attack consists of two
attacks some distance apart, which,
after progressing to some depth, turn
toward each other, compelling the
forces caught between them to fall
back or be in danger of capture.
The British have foreseen this dan
ger and have met 1t by first checking,
then forcing the northern jaw of the
pincer southwark, while they have
dropped back on the center and have
not fallen into the German trap.
