CZAR DRUGGED
TO AIR KAISER
Russian Court Lady Gives Some
Inside Facts.
QUACK BRIBED BY BERUN
Royal Pair Warned of Thalr Danger
Weeka Before Revolution 8tarted—
Caar Under Influence of Thibetan
Drug When He Signed Abdication—
Administered by Man in Pay of Ger
man Government.
From a Russian of high hlrth who
was a ludy-ln-walting to the czariuu
of Russia, are learned some particu
lars of the events which Immediately
preceded and followed the czar’s abdi
cation which are not generally known.
.The woman lost ull she possessed in
the upheuval of Russia und Is now
connected with the American Red
Cross. The cznrlna banished her
from court before the revolution be
cause her husband, who was* in the
diplomatic service, had Incurred the
Imperial displeasure.
The lady In question says that the
czar and czarina were warned of their ;
danger some weeks before the revolu
tion started. In particular did Prin
cess VasIltchiofT, a member of the Im
perial court, und wife of u prominent
member of the council of the empire,
warn her. The princess Is n good Rus
sian patriot, and, like many others,
was appalled at the signs of coming
anarchy.
So much alarmed was she that she
wrote a personal letter to the czarina,
telling her that if she wished to save
Russia and her own family she must
dismiss Rasputin and the Germans at
court and see that the army had am
W.X...I4 Inn
Advice Enraged Czarina.
She wrote this in Russian, which
was against Russian court etiquette
(which admitted only French), and on
single sheets torn from a writing block
instead of on double paper—another
crime against etiquette.
Two more crimes were that she ad
dressed the letter to "Her Majesty,"
Instead of to "Her Imperial Highness,"
and posted it In i’etrograd In the or
dinary way Instead of sending it
through Huron Fredericks, the court
minister, a sort of high priest for the
observance of etiquette, an old man of
recent Herman extraction, but a very
decent kind of person all the same.
In due time the czarina received and
read the letter. She was furious—
furious because so many rules of eti
quette hud been broken, and still more
furious because the writer dared tell
iter that she and her husband were (
unpopular and were losing Russia.
"I shall never have any of the Rus
sian aristocracy to court again,” she
crieii angrily. “I always bated them.
I love only the poor people and the
soldiers. At my next ball I shall have
none nut poor people and soldiers. The
soldiers adore me.”
She had this entirely false Idea of
the soldiers' devotion, because people
about the court used to “fake” grate
ful letters to her from imaginary sol
diers. Thus, while the troops were al
ready cursing the imperial pair and
vowing revenge for all their sufferings,
for all the shortage of ammunition
and for often being sent to be butch
ered just because a general needed a
decoration, but had no artillery to
cover his attack, the czarina was say
ing she "adored" soldiers anti would j
till her ballroom with them.
She not only banished the princess j
from court, but ordered that she and
her husband be exiled to Siberia. And
Prince and Princess Vasiitchlkoff ;
would have gone to Siberia on foot in
the depth of winter but for Baron
Fredericks, who managed to get the
sentence softened to exile to the j
prince's estate In the heart of Russia.
Th.n- tvur.i Lr**nt iit'lkiiti irq nn
tate till the revolution started a cou
ple of months later.
The Incident shows how blind the i
imperial family were till the lust min
ute, and how the czarina, a German
by birth, had Imbibed the autocrat
traditions of Catherine the Grent and
Ivan the Terrible.
Drugged by Kaiser's Order.
The same Information said that the
czar was suffering from the effects of
a terrible Thibetan drug when he
signed his abdication.
“Everybody at the court knew it,”
the princess said. "He signed his own
abdication and his son's without a
murmur, and we all knew him for an
obstinate man. For days afterward
he was still in a state of stupor. Only
when he came to himself did he real
ize what he had done. Then It was
too lute. But his despair was terri
ble.”
“Who drugged 1dm?" was asked.
"A quack from Thibet, who hud
risen to be the most intluentlul person
at court after Rasputin’s death," she
answered. “He was a friend of Ras
putin and of Mile. Veroubhu, who had
unbounded Influence over the czarina.
And the quack was paid by the kaiser
to drug the cznr.
"Every one in Retmgrud knows very
well that the czar would never have
signed a separate peace with Germany.
He was not a clever man, and hud al
lowed all kinds of abuses to arise In
the government, but he was a mun of
honor. The kaiser knew he hud to
get rid of him. And the kaiser fos
tered the revolution and had the czar :
drugged to hasten the anarchy that
has ruined Russia.”
