The author in his introduction
writes: ut was the recognition,
after an urprejudiced investigation
of all the available materials, that
it was no longer possible to assign
Rasputin with justice to either OF
those two commonplace categorieS,
ciIarlatan or holy starets, that led
ne author to write this book. RaS-
putin was neither entirely bad nor
entirely good, he was neither alto
gether a libertine nor saint. He
was a man of rich nature and eX-
uberant vitality, endowed with many
good qualities and cursed with many
weaknesses, a man SO many-sided,
complex and contradictory, that an
adequate delineation of his char
acter calls for far more exact and
careful examination of all the pros
and cons than any one has yet at
tempted"
And yet found proof that Ras-
putin, the monk, was on many &C.
casions a ibertine and degenerate
with both men and women.
There is ample proof that he
worked his spells on the family of
the car, especially the empress,
who was always either fighting to
give the country an heir to the
throne or to keep him alive.
Only the Russian court in the
days before its complete downfall
would suffer such a person as Ras-
putin. and the army of alleged
miracle" to penetrate even the
chambers of the imperial family; to
become the dictator of nearly all
Russia; to be the real power behind
the throne-and more to sway the
private and the official actions of the
the car and his family.
I am sure that most readers will
not be able to refrain from SYM
pathy at times for the empress. Her
problems we're always those of
royal prisoner. This book gives
most intimate study of the life of
the car and his family.
The author has given unlimited
study to the question of just why
Rasputin was Rasputin in Russia.
The book contains police observa-
tons on Rasputin. his complete sur
render to drink and to his animal
passions. And yet even the car
or the empress would not or refused
to believe these reports of their
powerful confidential agents.
Often, many times, Rapsutin was

CATERPlLLARS ATTACK
CAPITAL SHADE TREES
Second "Crop" to Be Sprayed by
District Department, Lanham
Announces.

A second crop of caterpillars has at
tackled some of Washington's shade
trees and caused resumption of spray
ing activities, 1t was announced yester-
day by Clifford L. Lanhsm, superin"
tendent of trees and parkings.
The department recently completed
spraying virtually all Of the trees sus-
ceptible to the tussock moths depreda-
lions and put the spraying machines in
storage. It is very unusual, according
to Mr.. Lanham, to combat two genera
tons Of the pest in one year, and he
believes the new crop was born as re-
suit of the drought and hot spell.
Trees In the downtown section are
the victims principally of the second
crop of the tussock moths. All Of them
will be resprayed in an effort to destroy
the eggs they will deposit for another
brood. ..

In a resolution, adopted unanimously,
the Rockville Volunteer Fire Department
at its annual meeting favored acquisition
by the county of the block between Wash

the proposed court house. The resolution
Endorsed the expenditure of S5OO00O.
1t was presented by the president, F. Bar

ut is the belief of the department"
stated the resolution. that it would be,
both shortsighted and uneconomical to
erect court house not sufficiently large
for the growing activities of the county

the present site is inadequate for such a
building and not in keeping with the
needs and dignity of the county"

Larger Court House.

The proposal to build larger and more
expensive court house and jail in Rock
vile than was called for 10 the original
plans was strongly Endorsed in resolution
adopted last Monday night at a meeting
of the Montgomery County Civic Fedora.
ton, in the Takoma-Silver Spring High
School.
The resolution. offered by Mai. E. Brooke
Lee. urged that $l5O,OO0 in county bonds
be issued. and that this amount be added
to the 10000 that was appropriated 70
the court house and jail by the 1927 leg
islature. The resolution further urged that
bonds be issued to raise another $l50.000
to buy land just west of the courthouse
site in order to balance the increased size
Of the proposed new structure.
Another resolution adopted urged the leg
islature to authorize bond issue of $751;
900 for construction of buildings and
grounds for the county school system. This
is the sum recommended by County Su-
perintendent Of Schools Edwin W. Bfoome.
The federation also recommended estab :
| lshment OF a police trial board, which would
devise an equitable system of pay raises
| for members of the force. Another recon-
mendation was that the chief Of police be
authorized to sell automobiles found aban
doned on the roads.
