and indignation that the beautif

Americans have steadfastly refused
to believe what they have been told.
Some have contended that it was
propaganda, probably o f Briti
origin. Others have found son
satisfaction in reflecting that, med
rcrities though they are, they y
never committed some of the excu
es attributed to me whom• they ha
been taught to reverence.
A wiser view is expressed by D
Albeot Bushnell Hart, one of th
kindliest and most tolerant of Am
riven historians. He thinks it
good thing for the American, u
ny other people. to learn that the
ncestors were not precisely ste
ngravings, that they were huma
wings like the rest of us, subjec
o the same weaknesses and tempts
ions, but that what made them i
ustrious was their ability to reels
nd if they fell to rise again, and de
pite many shortcomings accom
lish something great and permanen
n human history. It is not neces
ary, it is not indeed wise, for Am
cleans to suppose that the men wh
were responsible for the indepen
ence of the American colonie
ere' unanimously heroes. Some o
hem entered the campaign for in

ent for independence began, the
ones were quite as good citizens

In the War of Independence
any prominent Americans were
kewarm, and at heart were rather
opeful that the revolution should
come a rebellion. When they saw
whose banners victory was like -
to perch, they rallied to that ban -
r and so won much temporary
nefit and post mortem fame. They
eyed politics then as adroity as
eir descendants play politics to-
y, and perhaps nothing would
tonish them more than the knowl-
ge that the ward heads and
sses of a hundred and fifty years
o have, in the course of time, been
shrined as holy statesmen and pe-
sts, Nevertheless, Prof. Hart
ys that the view sometimes put

s -
d pionage organization is strengthened
by some of the passages in the Czar-
s. ina's letters. He was angry if any
e important military decision was made
without his knowledge. He insisted
upon being kept informed as to what
was going on at the front, and re-
ports were made to him. It seems
improbable that he could understand
half of the information that thus
reached him. Unless he was merely
displaying his arrog,ince, it seems
not unlikely that his information was
passed on to quarters where it could
be understood and valued.
Another character little heard of
abroad appears .frequently in the
letters. That is Aida Virubova, a
young woman who was married to a
naval officer, but soon divorced hid,.
She was then presented by the Czar
with a little house near the Imperial
palace and between her and the
Czarina there grew up a mysterious
friendship that has never been ex-
plained. The Czarina appeared to
be infatuated with the woman and
showed jealousy of her. At the
same time she was always thrusting
her upon the notice of the Czar. She
was also a confident of Rasputin's,
and exerted irtfltierlffe in the highest
court circles, having to her credit
at least one cabinet, appointment.
She appears to have been a woman
of abominable character and the
Czarina writes to the Czar about her
escapades, at the same time confess-
ign her deep regard for her.
The intimate relations with the
gross, drunken, debauched, filthy
monk„ Rasputin with the Imperial
family, naturally led to rumors which
reflected upon the Czarina. But"
these appear to have been groundless,
The Czarina was probably a virtuous
wife, although not the less likely on
that account to bring about the ruin
of her husband. She was a religious
maniac, and seemed to believe that
by the mere expedient of burning an
extra large candle or by spending a
few extra minutes in prayer, she
could correct military reverses and
throw back German armies, She was
as superstitious as any peasant, and
it was upon this weakness that Ras-
putin worked. He predicted that
certain things' would come to 'pass,
and perhaps one out of ten would
justify him. He would explain that
the others had not occured because
they had not been prayed for with

CZARINA'S LETTERS
TELL' OF RASPUTIN
Dr. I, V. Hessen, the distinguished
Russian publicist, who is at present
in Berlin, is in possession of the
complete letters of the ill-fated
Czarina to Nicholas II., and he says
that they are the most sensational
documents that have appeared in the
last few years. The Czar's answers
are supposed to be in existence and
they may be published later. Taken
together they would give a clear en-
ough history of Russia in the war if
no other records were preserved. But
the Czarina's letters are most inter-
esting from the personal side. What
they tell indirectly about her own
character and that of the Czar and
about Rasputin, the evil genius of
the Romanoffs, and other powerful

When, on the first day of the mobil-
ization, he left at the head of his cotn-
pany, composed of 260 men, he ex-
perienced some trouble for about one
or two weeks.
They were, in fact, crossing towns
and agglomerations behind the front
where there were many, saloons and
where the sale of alcohol was allow-
ed. He had several cases of drunken-
ness which had to be severely reprim-
anded. But as soon as he reached
the zone of the armies the change
became radical. His men only re-
ceived their ration of wine and never
during the fifteen months he was with

d pionage organization is strengthened
by some of the passages in the Czar-
s. ina's letters. He was angry if any
e important military decision was made
without his knowledge. He insisted
upon being kept informed as to what
was going on at the front, and re-
ports were made to him. It seems
improbable that he could understand
half of the information that thus
reached him. Unless he was merely
displaying his arrog,ince, it seems
not unlikely that his information was
passed on to quarters where it could
be understood and valued.
Another character little heard of
abroad appears .frequently in the
letters. That is Aida Virubova, a
young woman who was married to a
naval officer, but soon divorced hid,.
She was then presented by the Czar
with a little house near the Imperial
palace and between her and the
Czarina there grew up a mysterious
friendship that has never been ex-
plained. The Czarina appeared to
be infatuated with the woman and
showed jealousy of her. At the
same time she was always thrusting
her upon the notice of the Czar. She
was also a confident of Rasputin's,
and exerted irtfltierlffe in the highest
court circles, having to her credit
at least one cabinet, appointment.
She appears to have been a woman
of abominable character and the
Czarina writes to the Czar about her
escapades, at the same time confess-
ign her deep regard for her.
The intimate relations with the
gross, drunken, debauched, filthy

CZARINA'S LETTERS
TELL' OF RASPUTIN
Dr. I, V. Hessen, the distinguished
Russian publicist, who is at present
in Berlin, is in possession of the
complete letters of the ill-fated
Czarina to Nicholas II., and he says
that they are the most sensational
documents that have appeared in the
last few years. The Czar's answers
are supposed to be in existence and
they may be published later. Taken
together they would give a clear en-

no other records were preserved. But
the Czarina's letters are most inter-
esting from the personal side. What
they tell indirectly about her own
character and that of the Czar and
