The late Czar's diary, published m a Russian newspaper, was seized after his execution. Part of ah entry (March 11, 1917). read: "My experiences are weighing heavily on me. My thoughts are with poor Alir (the Czarina) going through J^iia alone. May God help us! All around are treachery, cowardice and deception." A man named Bill Shakespeare once told us kings sleep uneasily. But they were on a safer wicket m his day than they are now. It seems desirable they should stop up all night If they want to see the morning.
