The editor of The Tribune is intre- ceipt of the following telegram from the New York World: Missouri democrats have called a convention to condemn the course of the two United States senators and call on them to re- sign. The World editorially says it would bea good thing if the republicans of North Dakota ad- dressed a similar message to Sen- ‘ator Gronna. i Gronna’s attempts to cripple the ad- ministration are as despicable as can ‘pe, but those who know Gronna under- étand that only. the. winnowing, hand f death could remove him from office ' Betore his term was “up.

Day by day the indictment against kaiserthum mounts ‘and mounts, until all the world—ex- cept Germany—is appalled. Drop for the moment their barbar- ous cruelties in wantonly and. pur- posely bombing hospitals, which hith- grto have been held immune even by semi-savage races, and just consider how the masks have been torn from the faces of the German diplomatic Wars in tho past few months—in each case through American instrumentali- ties. Our own state department revealed that while we were still at peace with Germany, Prussian intriguers were trying to bribe Mexico and Japan to war on us. Caught with the goods, the Germans cynically avowed that it was perfectly proper in time of peace to prepare for war against a friendly power by seeking to enmesh it in the toils. \ In the past few days an American newspaper man, working in Russia, has revealed the telegrams exchanged between Kaiser “Willy” and Czar Nicky.” In these, Wilhelm Hohen- zollern, who has constantly and lying- ly tried to shift his own blood-guilt to others by averring that other na- tions started the war, was revealed as striving for a temporary alliance be- tween Germany, Russia and France, Whose object was to isolate Great Bri- tain and make that country an easi prey for the war Germany desired to make upon her. That object achieved the turn of France, of Russia and of America would have come later-—i they stood in the path of German am- bitions. Again and again German apologists have attempted an alibi as tothe reasons that impelled them to violate the neutrality of little Bel- gium. But in these telegrams the kaiser was revealed frankly stating to the czar that in case of war between Germany and Britain, he would invade and seize Denmark if it became neces- sary for his objects. And in the past few days, once more due to our own state department, has come another revelation of German methods and of German _barbarity. The German charge at Buenos Aires, knowing he could not send cables to Germany over his own signature, sent them through the medium of the Swe- dish minister to Argentina. e crime is both Swedish and Ger- " The excuses so far offered by jth swedes show the extent to which they are non-plussed by the sweeping revelation. It was a flagrant breach of neutrality, that definitely places Sweden as an ally of Germany. But the graver crime is that of Ger- many. That country had a dispute with Argentina about the sinking of the latter’s ships. While the two na- tions were at peace, while Count Lux- burg, Germany's minister, was the guest of the Argentine people, he was recommending that in the future, if Germany wanted to sink Argentine vessels, they be “tracelessly sunk”— “spurlos versenkt.” Phat) can mean only one thing: not only blow up the vessels, but kill the crews, so the disappearance of the ships will forever remain a mystery. ‘Nothing more cruel, more cold-blood- ed, has’ been revealedeven about Ger- many, \ fies Just) igi Pothmanaiifatkeee’ con- temptuous referencé:to the treaty with Belgium as ““a mere scrap of paper” will always be a blot upon Germany, go will Count [axburg’s dastardly pol- icy of “spurlos yersenkt.” Such thi s these can never be excused, can never be palliated, can never be forgotten. The Luxburg pol- icy ig not only a policy of murder; it is a policy of murder by stealth and by night. It is the policy of a nation that assassinates and seeks to hide the evidences of its primes, so that it may not be arraigned before the bar of international justice. WANT PEACE. The German people wait peace— soon. They dread another winter of war conditions. They know how terrible are the sufferings of the men in the trenches when the cold blasts sweep down, freezing their feet, numbing their fingers, chilling their lungs. They know the:toll of death taken by rheumatism and pneumonia. They also fear the winter at home —with scant food, cold homes, shiver- ing women and children, and. dying old people. All these things put the leaders in a mood to call an end to the war, if only the allies will fall into the trap of a German peace.” There are undoubtedly mutterings among the German people. There is undoubtedly unrest in the German army. And these things are height- ened by the fact that the British have won ground fyom the Germans in Flanders, the French in France, and the Italians in Austria. In such a state of affairs, with the allies on the western and Italian fronts more than standing firm, with Amer- icx preparing to throw its great power into the seale, there was great need omething that would hearten the nan army and the German people. | Therefore, there ensued the campaign which resulted in the taking of the Baltic port of Riga. It was not really a fight. It was a cake-walk. The Russian army on that front has degenerated into a mere cowardly mob. It did not put up even the semblance of a battle. It gave up Riga without even taking the trouble to destroy guns and munitions and supplies. | Hardly ever in the history of war has an invading army had so easy a time. ‘The winning of Riga adds no laurels to the German arms. But the exigencies of the situation at home require that this Riga business be They must be given some rhetorical pap. The result is that by acceleration on the part of the officfals, Berlin is all beflagged in honor of the Riga vic- tory. The bells are rung jubilantly— and they have not so been rung since the mighty Hindenburg was made generalissimo. And the kaiser falls in line. Reply- ing to a congratulatory message from the merchants of Lubeck, William Ho- henzollern, in his usual pompous style, says: . “The important success of our heroic troops again ptoves to the world and our enemies that Germany's army and people, although ready to terminate the terrible war, are firmly determined with unbroken strength and unshaken ‘will for.victory to carry through to a ‘happy -end the war of | for the “offs” in Petrograd. Translated for the kaiser: a king and his crown are soon parted. It begins to look as though the death penalty in United States might be restored to good effeet, especially where treason is concerned.

It was the duke’s account of the ladies that were alleged to. be dying for the love of the faker that did the business. The duke owned a large and hand- some house, and what he was man- euvering for was to get Rasputin at night and alone into that house. He was ‘not readily separated from his bodyguard, but he finally agreed to come at 10 o'clock on a certain night, and meet these ladies that so much desired his acquaintance, but shied at the bodyguard. i The doctor fixed up the poison dope, putting it into some cakes. At 10 o’clock Rasputin appeared and was received at the door by the duke. © The houses of the well-to-do in Rus- sia usually have a large reception room on the ground floor, and the par- lors on the floor above. The duke’s house was so arranged. It was a bitter cold night, even for Petrograd in the middle of winter. Thore was a blazing fire in the fire- place of the reception room. Raspu- tin was divested of his magnificent fur overcoat and fur cap and led fore the fire. “Before we go upstairs to see the ladies,” said the duke, “we will sit here a moment and have a glass of wine.” So the wine and the poisoned cakes were brought in. ee But at first Rasputin would take no refreshment and sat before: the fire, looking rather suspiciously about him. The duke is a good talker.. He spun a web of flattery around the false monk, continually arousing his curios- ity about the fair ladies above. Final- ly, Rasputin, apparently convinced that all was well, accepted a glass of wine and ate two of the cakes. The duke stood by expecting to see him fall dead. He didn’t fall dead. In a few min- utes he complained of feeling, ill and bent forward in'front of the fire, his hands upon his stomach. Then he looked up with an expression of fiend- ish hatred on his face and began to curse the duke. He understood that he had beef poisoned. Still-he continued to live. ‘ The duke became frightenéd and rai up the stairs to the doctor, who was waiting in a room on the floor above. “He is the devil,” he cried. “That poison did not kill him and he knows that I gave it to him.
