Peter the Great of Russia, says Miss
Anna L. Mordaunt in a study of his
life and character, had a rough-and-
ready humor of his own, but he was
no match in a battle of wits fax Bala-
kireff, his jester. Once he attempted
a retaliatory practical joke upon the
privileged favorite, whoee sharp
tongue had played a little too auda-
ciously with the iniperial dignity,
Balakireff had begged to be allowed
to join the palace guard, and Peter,
with apparent reluctance, allowed him-
self to be persuaded. He warned
Balakireff to take his dates seriously,
and especially impressed upon him
that to be absent Vora his pest when
summoned or to lose his sword would
be an offence punishable with death.
Then he sent to the new officer's
quarters a royal gift of extremely
potent liquor "to moisten his commis- rf WAS ONCE AN

KEPT IN IGNORANCE.
Swedish Professor Says Germans Are
Not Told Truth About War.
The impression- that the German
people are living isolated from the
rest of the world in dense ignorance
of what is happening beyond their
boundaries has been confirmed by the
Swedish professor Patrik Haglund,
who visited Germany recently on a
tour of observation. "The people in
the shops, in the streets, in the re-
staurants know nothing," says Pro-
fessor Haglund. When he met old
friends or made new ones they "thor-
oughly drained" him of news. He
found that the censorship kept the
people "in ignorance of everything
that might give rise to inconvenient
reflections." The papers contained
only official war news, and all of it
. favorable to German arms. Picking
up a copy of the Frankfurter Ne-aeste
Nachrichteu at a railway • station,
Professor Haglund was amazed to see
spread all over the front page an
article entitled, "Assassination in
War," which told its readers how the
, British Government had murdered
ten or more Englishmen whose of-
fence was that they had shown sym•
• pathy for Germany,
The newspapers were filled with
propaganda articles,.in 'which a speci-
men was a Panegyric upon the new
Belgium as ruled by German army
• officers and their civilian aids, "which
gave anybody with an ordinary Sense
of justice little more," says Professor
Haglund, With reserve, "than a feel-
ing of discomfort." '

, doubt of the satisfactory prosecution
of the war byt the Government and
its successful issue was vain from' a
