ClIilMEH PAY FEARFUL TOLL IN GREAT WAR

French Tots Left in Territory Evacuated. by Germans Present Cruel Picture.

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN FRANCE, June 1.—(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)—The French children found in the tillages of northern France, evacuated by the Germans under the pressure of the British and French offensive, present a picture of the savagery of modern warfare as characteristic as the Somme forest, shattered and broken by months of 6hell fire.

Many of these children are orphans, without home or relatives. Many have been greviously wronged. Most of them suffer from a peculiar species ot shock which afflicts them generally with a sort of tremor not unlike 6t Vitus dance.

They have had life and death, horrors, human and inhuman, revealed to them In guises so terrible that they will never be quite normal again. All are underfed and trail from confinement In eellars. Cut off suddenly from relatives and friends perhaps two years acp, they hare continued ,to live within a few hundred yards of the front lines, listening always to the thud of shells and the crach of explosives until their Idea of heaven is *%, place that is very quiet"

Children 8«ffer Most,

mie condition of peasant men and women who have been ttvin* under the shadow of the invader through these long months and years has been bad enough but the condition of the half starved, wounded and mentally deranged little children has been far worse. AJ1 the children were collected and shepherded by the first entente troops Into the newly occupied areas

Everything that can be done to crure and care for them is now bedng done, constituting one of the most Important immediate tasks of the Frenoh committees on reconstruction. The first step was to remove them well behind the front areas. Those who were orphans were taken far away from the sight and sound of shells, many of them to the south of Franoa The mildest cases were under the care, of farm mothers.

The more serious eases must, of course, be kept under (dose medical supervision in special institutions. Children who were not orphans were not usually taken from the districts. Mothers or granddaughters could not bear to part with them altogether, so they were placed In farms nearby where it Is possible for the parents to visit them frequently.

Hospital Pilled.

One Trench organisation hf« a hospital with four hundred child patients, all under twelve years of age. Most of them are wounded. Some have lost legs or arms, others their sight, others are suffering from brain fever or a ipuxzling anaemia under wbtoh they (rapidly waste away. "They are the victims tf the ruthfeessness of modern warfare,** said the •head of the hospital, a French woman, wearing the uniform of the French Red^ Cross. "There Is no better arguments agaiaat war than to see theee little mutilated victims, wfeo will never play or enjoy life as other children do. They are men shadows ot childhood. It is dlfltoutt to make them talk and they tremble and start at any noise or sudden movement. Women are always gentle with children, hut with theee children we need a special gentleness, as If we wmm something move fragile than the most delicate china."

One of the patients, a live-year old had been rendered dumb f' fr"® shell Shock, showed no improve5 xnent antn after he had been In the

jil

hospital for seven weeks. Then, one fc opsnsd hl^ eyes after a long Blew and said with a twieted smile to the ansae is very mte« here —1—like—

£,tr i that enoourage the nursea, put there are many sadder 6 caeee—ahild parents whose wounds 1 mwt to«"ltably prove fktal, patients I wlw* despite every effort,, grow steadily weaker, patients who are gradually losing their reason and whom nothing can ater*.

THE STORY OF RASPUTIN

BY ILLIDOR, THE MONK.

The Tribune has secured the exclusive rights to this amazing revelation of the orgies at the Russian court, which hastened the downfall oi

Czar

Nicholas.

Rasputin drank again and agkln, and began to babble queer confessions. After a time Prince Youssoupoff, GrandDuke Dmitri and others left the room. Four masked men then entered the room and formed a semi-circle between Rasputin and the door. "Rasputin," said one of them, "you have liy«d long enough. -Your death Is necessary for Russia's safety. Kill yourself and save us trouble."

The speaker handed Rasputin a revolver. Had he accepted their decision, they would perhaps have gone out of the room, and left him to kill himself, a procedure which has been followed in the case of Russian officers accused of treason. Rasputin, however, Immediately showed flght, and pointed the revolver at the man who had offered it to him. The determination to fight tor life and all the carnal delights he had long enjoyed gleamed in his eye.

Before he could fire, a bullet pierced him to the heart. Another went through his brain. Six bullets in all were found in his body afterward. The executioners desired that the respon

sibility for killing him should be well distributed. A policeman walking the streets of Petrograd in the bitter cold at

o'clock

in the morning heard shots from the palace, went to the door and inquired what the trouble was. A young nobleman came to the door and answered "We have just shot a dog. There is nothing for you to trouble about, my dear fellow."

Probably a hundred-ruble note accompanied the explanation. Soon alter this a motor car drove up to the, garden door of the palace on the side facing toward the Moika canal. The body, wrapped in a fur coat, was unceremoniously handed out and placed in the car. A weight had been tied round the neck. One of the young aristocrats took his seat beside the chauffeur and another took care of the body.

They drove to Petroffsky island, a lonely Island on one of the branches of the Neva. Here they made a hole in the ice and dropped Rasputin's body in. Many of these details were subsequently established by official investigation.

THE BEST PLACE TO SHOP, AFTER ALL

The secret police, ever watching the doings of every person of any importance in Russia, soon discovered Rasputin's disappearance. The search for him began on Saturday and at some time on Sunday his body was fished out of the Neva. Not much trouble had been taken to conceal the assassination. The police found that they h^d to deal with powerful persons who would not permit anybody to be punished for Rasputin's removal.

Word was sent to the czar that his "saint" had been killed. He was at army headquarters" at the time, but he hastened back to Tsarskoe Selo. Every effort was made to harrow his feelings. The court conspirators who had flourished with the help of Rasputin's frauds prepared to fight for their lives with those who had removed him. The czar and czarina regarded Rasputin's execution as the greatest crime in human history.

As soon as he received the cews Czar Nicholas dispatched from his palace at Tsarskoe Selo a splendid imperial motor car, the largest at the palace to the morgue in Petrograd, where Rasputin's bedraggled remains were exposed. The motor car was in charge of General Voyikoff, commander of the palace guard and son-in-law of Count Frederichs, chief minister of the court. Both these officials were important members of the court clique. They have since been confined by the revolutionists in the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul. In the car also was the notorious Cabinet Minister ProtopopoJE

General Voyekoff, who was accompanied by an escort of cossacks, took charge of Rasputin's body wrapped it it with great respect in winding cloths and placed it in the big motor. Thus Rasputin was carried back to the palace of Tsarskoe Selo. It was night when the body reached there. The czar, weeping bitterly, threw himself on his kn^ees before the poor remains and kissed them reverently.

Then Nicholas ordered that the burial services should be held immediately. He thought it wrong that any time should be lost without a solemn service to celebrate the entry of his "saint" into the next world. "The burial service was held in the imperial guard chapel in the palace grounds. The czar ordered the body enclosed in a beautifully engraved silver coffin, which I believe had been prepared to contain the remains of some long buried but newly unearthed saint. The imperial palaces are filled with art treasures of an equally bizarre character.
