Entries under date 11th March, 1917, written at Pskoff read: "Went for a* walk after tea, read and played dominoes. Russky came this morning, and said revolution was spreading. The opposition of the Social Democrats makes Cabinet powerless. My abdication is necessary. Russky transmitted our conversation to commanders at the front. They replied: "To save Russia keep the army quiet.' I must make up my mind to this step. I have consented to leave Pskoff after this. My experiences ar*» weighing heavily upon me. May God help us all. Around us are treachery, cowardice, and deception."
