Leaving- the empreaa with hta wife,
the doctor, who realised that it waa out
of the question to croaa the channel on
the regular boat, began a search for a
suitable vessel and found the -Gaselle. a
yacht belonging to an English noble
man. Sir John Burgoyne. He went on
board tha yacht, and having frankly ex
plained everything, asked Sir John If he
would take the empress to England. Sir
John at first refused, but finally left
the queatton to Lady Burgoyne, who
moved to pity at the tale of tha dlatreas
of the empreaa, consented.
Before dawn the next - morning the
yacht with tha .empress on board
weighed anchor and it hours later the
woman who had ruled the gayest capital
in the world landed at Cowea and from
there went to Hastinga, where aha met
tha prince Imperial.
Dr. Evana' book la unusually well
written and every line bears testimony
of his love and admiration for' the Un

of the kalaer and the whole Imperial

the continued bad newa which la coming
from Russia every hour and which
threatens the peace of the' empire.
While the kaiser la anxloua to render

time determined not to take any atep
which might render the position of the
csar's government more difficult than
It already la unleaa It becomes abso
lutely necessary.
In the meantime the German govern
ment haa at the- order of the kalaer
chartered a number of large steamera
from steamship companies at Hamburg,
Bremen and Stetln. which during this
week have left for Riga and Reval,
where they are anehored ready to give
refuge to all Germane f desirous of
eacaplng from the reign of terror exist

- Many German papers are today de
manding that Geiman men-of-war be
sent, to protect the steamera and force
the revolutlonlata to allow German aub
jecta to escepe, which , ' they might
otherwise not do, aa the population of

haa received several personal messages
by courier during the last week, will
notify htm whenever thla abould become
necesaary. -

By Malcolm Clarke.
Berlin, Dec. 11. It Is a well-known
fact that In spite of all efforts of the
German government to Germanise the
people of. Alsace and Lorraine, these
continue to love the French language
aa much aa ever.- That thla condition
prevails waa made evident by a little
Incident - which happened in ITrvllle, a
little village near one of the kaiser's
hunting csstles.
The empress, aa ahe haa often done
before, visited the girls' classes sod be
fore leaving ah told the little girls
that ahe would fulfill any wish they
might have If it be within her power
to do so,- She has often done ao in
other schools In Germany and almoat
Invariably the' reply haa been: "Please
give na a -tot of cakes, a lot of aaussge
and goosa fat.".
In this esse, however, something dif
ferent happened. One of the oldest of
the little girls got up and with a voice
which .'trembled 'm' Uttle aald: "If It
pleanea your majesty, we should be ao
happy If you would let Ua learn French-
!at school."
The empress was considerably em
barraased and at first did not know
what to answer, but ; at lust salt she
supposed she would have to keep'her
promise and she has actually done so.
In this little school of all the schools
In the provincea tha French language ia
taught.
v But the empreaa .'will probably - be
more ' careful next time ahe visits
