The czar and his family, since the declaration of war against Germany and Austria- Hungary, have taken the day's Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow, the ancient capital of the empire, which Is the sent of Russia's operations against he renemlea. The grand dukes, who' possess an enormous influence upon the vacillat ing mind of the sovereign and keep it firmly fixed on a policy of autocracy and reaction are now, most of them, In the field taking part in the fighting. Those who are not at the front, re main constantly w'ith the czar, influ encing him to push the fighting against Germany. The strongest tnah among them.' the Grand Duke Nicholas Nlcholaevitch, second cousin of. Nicholas 11, was at the outset of the war appointed com mander in chief of the army. Russian Government. The government of Russia, still cen tered In Kt. Petersburg, is practically in the hands of Prime Minister Gore mykin. When he was made prime minister in February of this year the rumors of an approaching general war began to sijteail in every capital of Europe. Goremykin for many years has been one of the leaders of the na tionalist party in Russian polities. The nationalists stand for Pan-Rlav ism. They are the hitter foes of the Pan-Germanic doctrine, which unites the Teutons of Germany and Austria. The Russian nationalists have for some time been openly favoring a war which would mnke the Slavs superme In Eu rope and cheek the growing encroach ments of the Teutons in the ter ritory in the Balkans. Member of Cabinet. Goremykin was a member of the Russian cabinet when Nicholas II as cended the throne twenty years ago. He has been In the confidential coun sels of the czar ever since, sometimes as a member of the cabinet and some times in a private capacity. He Is now a man of. seventy-five years, en ormously rlrh, having made his money largely through business affairs con nected with the government which do not redound to hts credit and honor. He was born to the heredity prin ciple of fautocraoy, was educated in It and lias served tt by conviction reinforced by keen Intellect, all his life. He Is an aristocrat in thought and adopts the pose of the aristocrat In his manner, apparently seeking tt* emphasize his condescension to the people when ho appears before their representatives in the duma, by loll ing lazily upon his chair, a supperclli ous smile upon Ills face. As Prims Minister. As prime minister, he succeeded Count Witte, the liberal leader, who waa Russia's representative at Ports mouth. N. H„ when the peace was made that ended the Japanese-Russian w ar Goremykin was prime minister In May ISO* when the Czar received the first congress of Russian people, called the duma.

On hts order, Gere mykin dismissed the duma. Riot and rebellion followed and the : Czar trembled for his life, and for the ! safety of his throne, Germykin was removed. In St. Petersburg, where he again holds sway, Goremykin Is now con fronted by another duma, but its members are very submissive, because Geremykln has tho reputation of being Instrumental In sending more exiles into Siberia than perhaps any other Russian official. Eastward Flow Germans Continues London, 10:40 a.m.—A despatch to The* Times from PetrogVnd says: "Although some of the Austrian armv corps in the province of Dublin will probably make good their retreat, offi cial despatches describe the rout of Gen Dankl and von Auffenburg in such a way a* to warrant the inference that the enemy is hopelessly beaten. “DaVge German forces have detrained at Tchenstorhow (?) and to the east ward the stream of German troops con tinue.” BERLIN DENIES IT ALL. Rotterdam, vis London, 4:15 a. m.— An official German communication made public here denies that the Russians have taken many prisoners at Lemberg; that the fortress at Pizewysl Is surrounded by Russloans. and that Russian forces are advanc ing on rrarow. &LEEMM Walks THE BIRD FRIENDS. Once upon a time was a cun ning little bird which lost its way try ing tu get home from the rose garden where it had been playing. It finally got very tired from flying around tj murh and was also hungry and fright ened. It was flying across a field where the wind blew very hard and did not see a tall, thin tree right in the path of its flight. It struck the tree with great force so that the poor little Bird was stunned and fell to the ground Just at the foot of the tree. It lay there for a few minutes but finally managed to roll over and tried to get up. It could not move one foot, and it hurt dreadfully, so the poor bird began to cry. Now there was a crow flying acroap the field and hearing the crying he went to see what was the matter. When he saw the little Bird he was very sorry and did sll he could to fix the leg. so it would not hurt so much. Then he told the little tdrd to climb on his back and he car ried It to his erowsnest in the woods and put the poor Injured bird to bed In n bed of pine needles and moss. \tter a few days the little bird grew well for the crow had taken very good ear* of her The crow grew v*r\ fond of the Bird too and they decided, to he friends and to go about together all the time. Everybody that saw them thought it was peculiar to see the big and little bird together Imt thev didn't care for they were happy In each oth er's company. RESUME AFTER’ THE WAR.

It is a question of war: war until a de cisive victory is won for one side or the other or the contending forces are exhausted. There might well be talk of peace a year or a year and a half from now; not at present.” HOW THE MICE CAUGHT PUSSY It Is very queer to me,” said Gray Mouse to his brother, Whiskers, "that Pussy lets as run all around this pan try and never so much as makes a try at catching us.” “I suppose she thinks there are traps enough around here to do that.” said Whiskers. "1 am going to watch," he Continued, ‘’anil find put, if I .can, why she lets us run around here. Here she comes now; run behind that dish; 1 11 get in o this basket of eggs. Now keep your eyes open." Pussy walked into the pantry with alow steps, sniffed the air and looked about. She walked over to the shelf rHETKA* where a howl of cream sat, and jumped up; then she waited a minute as if listening, hut no one came, and Pussy put her head into the howl and did not remove it until hul£ of the cream was gone. Then she gently tipped over the bowl and the rest of the cream r;Ai over tiie shelf. Pussy then helped herself to a piece of meat that was on a plate and Jumped down. Whiskers came out from his hiding place when she was gone and ran over to the basket of eggs, where Grey Mouse was hiding. "She ate the cream and took a piece of ment: we have seen her do that before," he said. "Go hack and keep quiet.” replied his brother. "I think we shall lean her secret if we wait long enough." Grey Mouse had Just time to hide THE WAYS OF THRIFT (Copyrighted, 1914, American Society for Thrift.) BELGIANS AS BUYERS. ‘With the increase in price* which necessarily accoir. antes a world-wide war, our American people should realise the necessity for thrift,” wrote Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout, president of :1 1** Il linois Equal Suffrage Association and a director of the American Society for Thrift. “I tlrtnk if we can only incul cate in out people the understanding that thrift means not only saving mon ey. but spending money wisely, great good coui«l he accomplished.

Washington.—it was made known that tiie Belgian commission will lie received by President Wilson only if bearing credentials from King Albert in an official manner. No arrange ments for an interview with the pres ident had been made late today. REPLY TO KAISER. Washington.—President Wilson will not reply to Emperor William’s mes sage until after his return from Cor nish, N. H., next week. an the door opened just then, and the maid came in. "Goodness me,” she exclaimed, a* she saw the overturned bowl "thos* mice are so thick about here that they tip over things as well as eat every thing in signt. I’ll have to get “oCune more traps. Poor puss can’t catch ill of them." "What did I tell you?” said Whisk ers, when the maid had gone. "I do not see that we are any worse off than If she was trying to catch us all the time,” said Grey Mouse. "It is either pussy or new traps." "Yes, that is true," replied Whiskers, "but we know about the old traps and can keep away from them, and all we have to do with Puss is not to run about w hen she is in the house.” One warm day, not long after this pussy came into the pantry and looked about. A bowl of warm milk had been put by a window a few minutes be fore, and near it was a dish of soup. Pussy jumped up and helped herself, and by the time she had finished tha soup she was sleepy, so without going out of the pantry she stretched herself out on the floor and soon was fast asleep. Grey Mouse and Whiskers were run ning about a few minutes after and suddenly came upon the sleeping pussy. "Now is our chance,” whispered Whiskers to Grey Mouse. "See that trap right beside iter tail?” Grey Mouse watched his brother. m>t having the least notion of what he in tended to do to tiie sleeping puss. Whiskers took the end of Pussy’s tail and poked it Into the trap. !• was all done in a second, ?snap went the trap. Whiskers ran and Pussy jumped. And Pussy began t i meow as well as jump, for fast an the end of her tail she carried tho trap. How she was freed from the trap Whiskers and his brother never knew, but they did know that Pussy was very careful not to swing her tall about as she walked for the next few days. And they heard the maid say to her: "If you had done your duty, Mistress Puss, Instead of stealing tha cream you would not have gone to sleep In the pantry and have heem caught in the trap.
