Of personal loyalty. The army was
devoted to the Gar. Even the peas
ants were affected by II. Every
time the Emperor's train stopped It
was surrounded by mobs of country
people eager to see their Emperor"
But Germany was determined to
strike from behind. She would ruin
the personal prestige of the Gar.
PROPAGANDA AGAINST CZAR.
BY the end OF 1915 the German
general staff felt that they could
not bring the obstinate Russian re-
sistance to an end by force Of arms.
They now tried the clever. un-
scrupulous propaganda to sow dis
content In the interior OF Russia
which would quickly bring about a
collapse OF the empire. But they
met in the person OF the Emperor
an insurmountable obstacle to the
realization Of their designs.
The Gar had definitely proved to
the WHOit WOTiu tldt ne WOuiu re-
main faithful to his allies to the
end when he took command Of the
army and riskcd his crown in the
struggle. He was prepared to con-
tinue the struggle at any cost.
The Germans knew that the Car
was the only bond that united the
empire. II he fell, no power could
stop the Acknowledgement OF Russia
and the outbreak Of anarchy.
All the efforts OF the German
general staff were directed now to
ruin the prestige Of the monarchy
and cause the fall of Nicholas II.
To do this 1t was necessary to COM
promise the Gar in the eyes Of his
people and of the allies. Germany
had spies all over Russia, and knew
thoroughly the state OF Russian
public opinion.

From 1898 to 1914 Mr.. Gandhi led
an eventful life in South Africa,
several times crossing swords with

They set to work to spread the
idea that the Emperor was trying
to bungie the war and drag II out;
that he planned to conclude a sepa-
rate peace.
MONARCH REFUTEs sLURs.
The Emperor cut short these in
trigues and defined his intentions
very clearly in a speech he made to
General Kourpatkine's troops Janus
airy 2. 1916.
"s You can be easy. for I
declared at the beginning Of the war
that would not conclude peace un-
til we had driven the last enemy SOL
dier from Russian soil. / will only
conclude peace in perfect accord
with our allies, to whom we are
bound not only by treaties but by
friendship and by blood as WELL"
The government, desirous Of CIV
ing the widest possible publicity to
this speech, had thousands Of copies
printed and distributed to all the
troops.
But in the rear of the armies Rus
sia began to be discontented. The
increase in the cost of living. the
difficulties in transportation. and,
above all, the effective German
propaganda, began to have its ef-
feet.
The Duma was called together
by the Gar and began its session
February 22. The Emperor and
Grand Duke Michael attended the
opening.
CAR ATTENDS DUMA.
AS II was the first time the Gar
had attended the Duma, political
circles attributed great Importance
to the event. 1t showed the sincere
desire Of the Emperor to seek to
collaborate very closely with the

out only to take part in active
affairs when danger appeared. Then
her activity was intense. She
fought every obstacle vigorously:
CZAREVITCH OFF TO FRONT.
Thus, while striving to save her
husband and children. she forged
with her own hands the instru-
ment for their death.
A few days after. Nicholas III
assumed command, the situation
became desperate. The Germans
had massed large forces on the
northwest of Wilma; had broken
through the Russian front, and
their cavalry was operating in the
Russian rear. menacing its COM
munications.
Russia seemed on the eve of
great national disaster by Inid.Sep-
tember. The danger was averted
only by the wonderful endurance
and heroism Of the troops, who
with insufficient artillery and am.
munition were fighting against an
enemy better acquainted and vast
ly superior in numbers. The dan
ger aroused great discomfort in the
interior Of the empire.
1t was the last effort Of the Ger.
mans, who were themselves out of
breath. During the first few days
of October the Russians gained an
important victory over the Aus.
trians. Little by little the immense
front stabilized. In spite Of every
thing the Germans had not OBJ
tained a decisive result; after fif-
teen months Of war. the Russian
army had abandoned a large area,
but had escaped all encircling
movements.
Tho emperor returned for several
days TO Tsarkoie.selo October 6,
and decided that Alexis should go
to the front with him on his re.
turn. for he was desirous that his
son see the troops. The empress
submitted to this. for she under.
stood that the emperor suffered
greatly at the most hearbreaking
hours Of his life from the isolation
from his family.
IN UNIFORM OF PRIVATE.
We arrived In Riegitza October
Is. The emperor reviewed the
troops In rest camps back of the
line.
This was the first time that the
car had reviewed any troops since
taking command. After the cere.
mony he talked In a friendly, ia.
milisr tone with several soldiers,
questioning them on the actions In
In which they had been engaged.
Alexis followed his father step
by step, listening with intense In.

roes. His presence at the side of
the Emperor excited the interest OF
the soldiers. They were especially
struck by the fact that the Care

vate soldier.

The military reverses the Russian
army suffered in October had not
broken their courage; they were
convinced that the spring offensive
would result in decisive victory
for Russia.
Then came the series of terrible
military catastrophes. The EN-
press eagerly sought aid from Ras.
putin. Had he not always been
useful in the past? He. she believed,
had saved her sons life by his mi
raculous prayers when every physi-
clan had failed. Moreover, he was
a representative of the people. a
prophet, to her mind. sent by God
to save Russia and the Gar.
Neither personal ambition nor the
thirst for power caused the Empress
to assume at this time an active
part in political affairs. Her mo.
tives were altogether sentimental.
She adored her husband and idol
was to be of aid to the Emperor in
his heavy task and to aid him In his
councils.
Convinced that autocracy was the
only regime suitable to the Russian
people, the Empress believed thor
oughly that large democratic con-
cessions were premature. In her
opinion only Gar with supreme
central power could unite the uncul-
tured mass Of the Russian people.
Russia was a conglomeration Of diff;
ferent peoples with varying customs
and slightly different stages OF CIV
ilization. Their loyalty could not be
idealistic: it must be personal mat
ter.
The Empress believed that for the
simple Russian peasant the EN-
peror was the symbolic representa-
ton Of unity. political and religious.
He was the chief of the empire
anointed by God. To limit his pre-
rogatives by untimely democratic re.
forms was to attack the faith OF the
Russian peasant and encourage an
srchy. 1t would risk precipitating
the country into direct catastrophes.
The Gar not only must reign-he
must govern the State with firm
hand.
TURNS TO RASPUTIN.
with such firm convictions, the
Empress brought to her self.imposed
political duties the same devotion.
vigor and blindness manifested in
the struggle to save her sons life.
Shrewd and deceitful as he was.
Rasputin was extremely prudent
in offering political advice. He
obtained complete and exact in
formation on all the happenings
at court. The intimate thoughts
Of the sovereigns were made known
70 him. Then his prophetic words
ssere so cast as to confirm the
secret desires of the Empress.
In fact. II was she who inspired
the prophet" Her desires coming
back from Rasputin took on the
force and authority OF a revela-
tion from God in her eyes.
Before the war the political in
fluence OF the Brpress was ex-
ereiscd only intermittently when
she secured the exile OF Rasputin's
open enemies.
Extremely reserved, wife and
mother above everything else, the
Empress found happiness only in
the midst Of her family. She came
