To thie the kaleer replied, giving to his imperial brother heart of hope He said that it was the czar’s duty to him self, the dynasty, his fellow monarchs and his God to hold out to the last. And he said that he was prepared to send to Ru If necessary, a mil- lion men to crush out the rev- olution and make the czar safe on his throne. Subsequent letters discussed the manner in which this could be done and settled the details, the places at which the German troops should enter and the generals that should commind them. The posit.ca of the kaiser was that all the autocratic govern ments, drawing their authority dt rectly from divine decree, must stand together at whatever cost to put down this rising tide of mob rule, And he urged the czar to put it down with an fron hand, I have talked with a man who has seen this correspondence It was the means of overwhelm ing the revolution and restoring the despotism, The was at that time pending applications for loans that Russia wanted to float in England and France.
