faith which has nothing whatever to
justify 1t. With the unhappy Nicholas
died his wife, the Czarina; his son
and heir, the young CZareVitch, and
his daughters.
This has been officially ascertained
by General Dietrichs. delegated by
Admiral Kolchak. the dictator Of ST.

lected by the Ural government. He

Proofs UnqueBtiOnabIe.
General Dietrichs secured his
proofs Of the murder of the Ro-
manoffs from four distinct sources,
all agreeing on all the main points.
To clear up what few points yet re-
mained, the Omsk government is still
continuing the investigation.
The former Gar and the members
Of his family were killed on the night
Of July 1917 at o'clock in the
morning, in the IpatieR house in
Ekaterinburg, since occupied by
General Gaida, of the CZecho-Slovak
army, as his headquarters. Follow
ing weeks of mtntal and physical
torture, during which the Czarina
and her daughters were submitted
to those fiendish attentions which are
a part OF Bolshevism. the once i'm

bloody corpses were loaded into q
conveyance and taken into the coun-
try, where they were stripped Of
their clothing and the naked bodies
probably flung down a mine shaft.

The clothing was then searched for
valuables, and was afterWard burned

Of the crime
All this has been proved and the
evidence Is in the hands Of the anti
BOlshevik officials, to be given to the
world at what will be considered the
appropriate time.

deviled ham, jar of homemade fond
ant and some nut meats.
As these articles arc used they are re-
placed gradually so the expense is not
large at one time.
On the inside of the cupboard door I
tack an emergency menu, of which I
have six numbered and used in turn.
