Peters wife's uncle was
one of the first to be sus-
pected of disloyalty.
Peter with his own hands
inflicted the torture upon the
old man.
A fearful thing-but this
was barbarOus Russia and
Peter, while more progressive
than Ivan the Terrible, was al
most as cruel.
Father Abraham of the
Troitsky monastery. which
had sheltered Peter when he
escaped assassination by his
half-sister Sophia, was also
put to the torture.
He had voiced objections
when the car went on foot in
the triumphant procession
while his admiral rode.

ALLIED POWERS
 WANT VICTORY
German Peace Feelers Bring Declaration From
 Eleven Powers

London, June i2 --(uP)-- Great Britain, the Dominions and nine allied governments today answered German peace propaganda feelers with joint declaration which Prime Minister Winston Churchill said pledged them to fight "untll life is gone or victory is won"
 The declaration was the first to be issued in association by Britain and her dominions and allies since the start of the war.
 It bound the participants to fight until Hitlerism has been driven from Europe and was regarded here as e blunt reply to oil and any Nazi peace moves.
 Churchill, addressing the aS- sembly of dominion and allies rep- resentatives at st. James palace, asserted that Britain and her as- sociatcs would fight to the finish.
 "They have drawn their swords In this cause" he declared. "They will never let them fall until life AO bOAlS VI NASbOky 70 WOAAi
 The declaration was approved ct the first conference of the British and allied powers at St. James' palace.
 The de claration was approved by Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa and the exiled governments of Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Poland, Czecho- slovakia, Greece, Jugoslavta, Lux. embourg and by 0 representative of Free France.
 It constitutes the first mutual statement by all the allied powers and its adoption at this moment was regarded as an effective answer to peace ruinors allegedly circulated by the Germans in the United States and Europe.
 The proposal for c joint state. ment had been strongly backed by the British as early aS last october. However, the fact that Greece was then fighting only Italy and not Germany made 1t difilcult to draft Q statement which Greece as well as the other allies could sign.
 King George VI visited St. James palace where he was pre- sented to the heads of the allied governments by Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
