RASPUTIN — Devil or Sai t?

CHAPTER XX—(Concluded)
THE perils in which Russia found
herself gave energy even to those
to whom that quality had hither
to been unknown, and it was felt every
where that, together with the fatherland,
the tzar ought to be saved from a dan
ger of which, perhaps, he did not him
self realize the real importance. Ras
putin. and especially Rasputin's follow
ers. had worked as ham as they could
to make Russia's allies, and especially
England, unpopular with the Russian na
tion. He paid with his life for the at
tempt. and one can only refoice that
rtich was the case. As things stand
at present, it is toward Great Britain
that Rusia must look for Its salvation,
"’hat I am writing todav has been my
earnest and deep conviction for long
years, and I have preached it not only
since the beginning of this war in all
the books and articles which I have
written, but also long before any one
ever thought or suspected that the day
would come when the English Union
.Tack would float beside the Russian flag
and the French Tricolor on the same
battlefields, united against one common
enemy. I have always considered that
in human life, as well as in the existence
of nations. It Is essential to recognize
the superiority of others where this su
periority exists, and tliat true civiliza
tion consists in assimilating to oneself
with gratitude the \irtues of other na
tions. whose example one ought to fol
low instead of trying to ridicule. Rus
sia. with all its vast resources and
with its immense territory, would do
well to imitate England in its immense
work of culture and to call the latter
country to her help in developing her
own national existence on proper and
useful bases. Tn doing so she would
not abase herself; she would only prove
that she was great enough to admire the
greatness of others.
England .Russia's Great Hope
Tt is certain that if English influence
had been so dominant in Russia in the
past as it is at present, and as it is
to be hoped it will remain in the fu
ture. we should not have seen occur in
Petrograd incidents like those connected
with the career of Rasputin. We should
not have witnessed all these perpetual
changes of ministers, over which Ger
many has rejoiced with such evident
relish- We should not have heard peo
ple defy the authority of the tzar, as
unfortunately has been the case.
We monarchists, who have been
brought up in the old traditions of loy
alty to bygone days, have often been
accused by this crew of adventurers of
harboring revolutionary ideas. They
have reproached us with the spirit of.
* criticism that has sometimes induced
and prompted us to speak out what we
thought and to lay blame where blame
was due; to criticize where criticism
was almost a national necessity. Time
shall prove whether we have been mis

; taken. It sems to me, however, that as
I ' English ideas and English respect for
, individual libertv and individual opin
ions become more and more familiar to
1 Russians and penetrate into the Rus
i sian mind, the public will acknowledge
• . that we have not been so very wrong
■ i when we have raised our voices against
.•the importance which individuals such
las Rasputin have been allowed to take
i in our society and in our governmental
circles, and against this corrupt sys-
I tern of administration, which, thanks
io its crawling, flattering propensities,
licked his feet in the idea that by doing
so they were pleasing the lugtier au
thorities. who most of the time knew
nothing about the developments whicn
I this intrigue was gradually assuming
i Russia has still something oriental
about her. and in some respects she re
sembles the Greek empire which fell
under the blows dealt at it by the pow
' er of Islam It needs new life and new
blood to flow in its veins. It requires
the support of this strong, earnest
, British civilization, which is, perhaps.
, the most beautiful the world has ever
known.
1 have always been accused sis being
■ too pro-English in my ideas and opin
ions. If being pro-English means the
i wish to see my country freed from the
abuses, the existence of which has pre-
I vented her from developing herself on
the road of a progress embodied in the
respect of the individual, together with
the institutions that rule him. such as
Great Britain has known for so many
centuries, then I will willingly confess
it. I am pro-English. 1 feel sure that
all good Russians share my feelings.
We have had enough of the German
kultur and of German intrigues. They
it is that have brought my beloved
fatherland to the brink of ruin, a ruin
I which only her closer union with her
brave allies can prevent. The whole
sad incident of Rasputin’s rise and fali
has been the result of German inter
ference, and it would never have as
sumed the proportions to which it rose
if the German press had not exagger
ated it and perman spies spoken about
it, not only abroad but also in Russia
itself.
When thinking about this story, which
savors in some of its details of super
stitions of the Middle Ages, one must
always remember what I said at the
beginning of this sketch of the career
of a mar. whom circumstances and the
hatred of our enemies transformed in
to a kind of monster devouring all that
it touched. This fact is that Russia
is still the land of many surprises, be
cause of its tendency toward mysticism,
always so strong in all the Slav races.
Before Rasputin appeared there had
been other sectarians who had drawn
thousands of men and women around
them and who had Inspired crowds
with feelings of fanaticism in no wise
different from the ones which the mod
ern “Prophet,” as some called him, the
modern Cagliostro, as others had nick
named him, had evoked in the breasts
of the simple-minded people whose con
fidence he had abused and whose spirit
of superstition he had impressed. But
these had remained strictly on the reli
gious ground and had not mixed them
selves up with any other questions.
They had grouped around (hem only
persons convinced of the truth of their
teachings, while Rasputin had gathered
' about him men determined to use him
i for the benefit of their money-seeking,
money-grubbing schemes: men who saw
in the misfortunes that had fallen upon
their Fatherland only the possibility to
enrich themselves at her expense. They
would npt have sacrificed the smallest
thing for her welfare; rar less would
they have given up the chance to add
to the ill-gotten gains they were daily
accumulating. Without those persons
the whole story of Rasputin would have
ended in ridicule. Thanks to them and
to their capacity, it finished in blood.
Ths Aristocracy Redeemed Itself
It was. after all. the aristocracy which
finally got rid of Rasputin, perhaps to
the great relief of many persons who
out of weakness, or let us say kindness,
had hesitated before taking the strong
measure of sending him away to where
it would have been difficult for him to
do any more mischief. And it is doubt
ful whether his removal anyw’here than
to a place whence there existed no possi
bility for him to return would have
stopped the evil which the very mention
of his name along was sufficient to .do.
Credulous persons exist everywhere and
will always exist; timorous ones also
abound in the world. Even if Rasputin
had been exiled it would have been rel
-1 atively easy for those who reaped such
a rich harvest out of the blood and
the tears of the whole Russian nation to
attribute to him powers which he did
not possess, to threaten with his ven
geance the persons who might refuse to
' lend themselves to their dirty schemes.
He would have been a perpetual menace
suspended over the heads of those who
would have tried to rebel against the
directions issued by the enterprising
scoundrels who abused the prestige
: which his so-called holiness had won for
: a man who in other times and in an-
I other country would not have arrested
j for a single moment the attention of any
■ one. let alone the crowds.
Rasputin Is dead! r.et us hope that
• his former supporters have lost, to
gether with him, their audacity and their
' power of doing mischief. But to say
that he was ever a paramount strength
in Russian politics Is an error which I
have tried to correct as far as lay with
in my power. For no other reason have
I written this little book than to try
to divest the history of those exaggera
tions with which everything connected
with this curious episode in the modern
history of my country has been sur
rounded. Rasputin's story is simpler
than many persons think, and perhaps
the best explanation that can be given
Hos it is to recommend to those who
want to understand it a careful purusal
lof the book of Esther tn the Bible.

Jll ON VEGETABLE OILS
CONDEMNED fin ASMAET
Declares Federal Laws Hinder;
Instead of Foster Impor
tant Industry
■
That the agricultural workers and the
cottonseed ami peanut oil mills of the
south should, in the present food crisis,
join hands in attempting to remove
what he termed the discriminatory tax
on a valuable food product, C. W. Ash
craft, of Florence, Ala., speaking for
the Interstate Cottonseed Crushers’ as
sociation before the Southern Agricul
tural Workers’ association, in session
at the Piedmont hotel, declared Thurs
day afternoon that the federal laws,
which restrict the market for vegetable
oils result in a stupendous food waste.
Vegetable oils, he pointed out. when
combined with animal fats, make most ;
valuable food as butter and cheese and i
the inrustry, he declared, should be sos- ,
tered instead of driven out of business ,
by prohibitive taxation.
“The cotton oil press urges that the j
milk supply for the children and nurs
ing mothers in the cities will be con
served and the table fats supply will
not be diminished,” he said, “if cream
eries will churn food-oils in enough
milk to make ten pounds of butter,
thereby making 100 pounds of margar- .
ine, and bottle or condense or powder ■
the other nine-tenths now used in but- I
ter making.
This would add materially to the mar
ket for whole milk at advanced prices ;
over what mere butter makers are able
to pay.”
This, he declared, would benefit the
dairyman in that it would save for them
a large part of their product and enable
them to market it at a gooA price.
The efforts to prevent the coloring of
vegetable fats by vegetable processes
he termed as discriminating and unjust
and aid in the prevention of the produc
tion of much valuable food and wealth
for the south.
“Under the present system,” he said,
"butter fat crops bring about 50 cents
for 3,490 calories of food, while oil
crops bring less than 20 cents for 4,-
080 calories of food.
“Can it be possible the southern ag
ricultural workers will not cry aloud
against this stupendous wrong? Fraud
and poverty flourishes in an atmosphere
of ignorance. You are the educators.
Other speakers Thursday afternoon
were A. J. Glover, of Wisconsin, editor
of Hoard's Dairy magazine, who claim
ed that the yellow color of butter is
its trademark and that to allow a sub
stitute to be made In that color was to
encourage fraud; Fielding Wallace,
president of the Interstate Cottonseed
Crushers’ association; W. M. Hutchin
son, president of the Georgia Cottonseed
Crushers’ association, and B. H. Rewl,
chief of the dairy division. United
States. department of agriculture. The
convention will adjourn Friday after-
TESTSWfMWE
OF GRAIN FOR LIVESTOCK
Expected That Several Thou
sand Dollars in Stock Feed
Can Be Saved
Chemical tests to determine the value
of grain and forage of all kinds pur
chased each year by the city to feed the
livestock of the different departments,
will be inaugurated by February 15. The
tests will be conducted by Cecil P. Poole,
mechanical engineer, who also conducts
tests of the coal, gas, gasoline and lu
bricating oils, purchased by the city.
Several thousand dollars is expected to
be saved tne city annually through the'
testing of the stock feed. The city in
1917 spent 390,000 for grain and forage
and in 1918 It has been estimated that
the cost would be upwards of 3150,000.
Mr. Poole said Saturday that the tests
of stock feed would determine the value
of three important elements—the fatty
constituents of the grain; the amount of
protein, which supplies muscle and bone,
and the amount of carbohydrates, which
is the starchy element.
Equipment for testing the forage has
been installed in the mechical engineer
ing department.
No standard for grain has as yet
been specified, but Mr. Poole says that
within a few weeks official specifications
will call for the best quality of feed the
market now affords.
Wireless Will Carry
From Washington To
Pershing in France
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2.—Direct radio
communication between Washiington
and army headquarters in France will be
made possible this year with the comr
pletion of the 32,250,000 radio station
now being built in France by the navy
department, which has charge of all>
radia communication. At the close of
the war, under arrangements made, the
station will be taken over by the French
government.
Available French stations are not of
sufficient power for trans-Atlantic com
munication. at least on the scale desired
by the United States. As a result the
cables have been crowded with govern
ment messages to and fro even during
the night hours. It is anticipated that
the new station will be finished in Au
gust and by working with the Arlington.
Va., staion or the new high-power plant
I at Annapolis, the radio system will af
i ford quick relief.

U. S. NAVAL DEEDS
GIVEN PRAISE BY
SECRETARY DANIELS
Tells of Growth and Accom
plishments of Service in War
in Address to Reserve Offi
cers of Academy
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Feb. 2—The Unit
ed States naval reserve force, now em
bracing 69,000 men and 7,800 officers,
I “is larger than the regular navy when
war was declared and three times as
1 large as in the Spanish-American war,'
Secretary Daniels declared today in ad
dressing the special graduation class of
300 reserve officers at the naval aead-
: emy.
“This is a wonderful record for a
service authorized eighteen months
ago,” the secretary continued, “and its
' creation has made possible many
phases of the diversified work the navy
' has been called upon to do.”
Mr. Daniels told the young officers,
who have successfully completed the
' prescribed fourteen weks' course, that
when they left Annapolis today they
would find important assignments await
ing them and their achievements would
depend upon themselves. Much of the
secretary’s address was taken up with
a recital of the brilliant achievements
of the American destroyer flotilla in the
i war and the bravery of American gun
i crews aboard merchantmen.
“Read the story of the Cassin,” he
said, “which, though struck by a torpe-
Ido and seriously crippled, refused to
.return to port as long as there appear
ed a chance of engaging the submarine.
Th<> whole country was thrilled by the
account of the exploit of the Fanning
and the Nicholson in destroying a Ger
man submarine and capturing its en
tire crew-. The British admiral in com
mending officers and men, said: 'The
whole affair reflects credit on the disci
pline and training of the United States
flotilla.’
“The first officer lost in the present
conflict. Lieutenant Clarence C. Thomas,
after the Vacuum was sunk, cheered his
freezing men as they were tossed about
in an open boat far from land, and he
at last perished from'cold and exposure.
After the Jacob Jones was sunk Lieu
tenant (junior grade) S. F. Kalk, though
weakened by shock and exposure, swam
from raft to raft, to equalize the load
and keep afloat the men who were
awaiting rescue, and in the night, be
fore succor arrived, perished.
“Let us not forget those two gunners
of the Antilles, who stood by their guns
until it was too late to escape. The
contests of the Silver Shell, which sent
down the submarine which attaked it;
of the Moreni, on which the men stayed
at their guns until the flames flared up I
to the top of the smokestacks: of the
Campania, whose gunners fought for
hours until their ammunition was ex
hausted; of the J. L. Luckenbach, hit
nine times and temporarily disabled,
•which fought a submarine for four
hours, before aid arrived, and later man
aged to reach port under her own
steam; of the Armenia, and a dozen oth
ers notable enough to be recorded in
naval history.”

Prison
GREENVILLE, S. C.. Feb. 2.—The
Judge advocate at Camp Sevier an
nounced today the trial and conviction
by general courtmartial of two soldiers
of the Thirtieth division for cutting off
. their fingers to evade military service.
Private Lark ,L. Triplett, of Granite
Falls, N. C., was sentenced to four years’
imprisonment in the federal penitentiary
at Atlanta on charge of cutting off
three fingers of his right hand. Pri
vate Edward J. Causey, of Dover, Tenn.. I
was given seven years for cutting off
thsee fingers of the right hand. The I
sentence was more sevefe in the case :
of Causey for the reason that the right i
hand is more valued than the left in '
military service.
Private Louis H. R. Dewitt, head
quarters company, One Hundred and j
Twentieth infantry, was given ten years i
on a charge of desertion and persuad?
ing two others to desert.

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.—Com tended upward in

Opening prices, which ranged from unchanged

GRAIN MARKET OPINIONS
Bartlett, Frazier it Co.; Prices of cash corn
could easily show sharp decline under any en
largement in receipts and futures would sympa
thize moderately. Believe oats will work irreg
ularly lower unless weather conditions turn bad
again.
Ware k Leland: With favorable weather grain
recipts will grow to proportions large enough
to have a depressing effect on values.
E. W. WAGNER & CO. GRAIN LETTER
CHICAGO, Feb. 4.—Feature today is the indi
cation that large arivals of corn are due this
I week. Country offerings of oats are small and
I many Illinois railroads insist cars be loaded
with shipping oats only for gulf ports. Until
the east is relieved of car congestion, bulk
of the expert business will be performed via
gulf. Oats situation looks fairly steady over
night with moderate dip probable. Exporters
still out of the market, southwest crop news
suggests Kansas wheat at least holds its early
winter condition and winter killing may he
much below :<n average.
