in the hussars, but I cannot trust to
it being true. But ! have no right
to fill your ears with les on dit (they
say). 1 pray they may not he true.
Well. we all know that such war
would be the bloodiest and most
awful one ever known, and so it has
turned out to be the case, and one
yearns over the heroic victims, mar
tyrs for their cause. Ania has twice
been to see Sashka. l told her it
was very wrong. but she does not
heed me in the least.
II feel my letters are very dull but
am ramoliie and tired and the
thoughts won't come. The heart is
full of love and boundless tenderness
for you. / eagerly await your prom
ised letter. long to know more about
you and how you spend the time
in the train after all receptions and

The czarina in today's installment
tells of the terrible losses suffered
by the Russian hussars.
OF great interest is the czarina's
displeasure with the conduct of Nine.
Sukhomlinov. the wife of the notori-
Gus war minister, who was later
tried for treason and confined to the
fortress of st. Peter and st. Paul.
Nine. Sukhomlinov, who had risen
from a copyist in notary's office
to her high rank, is characterized by
the czarina as "a common woman and
vulgar SOUL" The reason for the at
titude Of. the empress was the dis
covery that Nine. Sukhomlinov had
used her name in promoting a col
lection campaign for war relief by
announcing that all the restaurants
and cabarets would serve drinks and
permit dancing until am. whereas
they we're ordinarily closed at mid
night. In describing the cabarets
