Still less has anyone the right to speak of """treason to the Allied cause on the part of the Emperor Nicholas II. He sealed his loyalty ta his pledge by dying cars. a martyr's death.

Personally I had never yielded to hypnotic suggestion, of which I had had frequent experi- ence. Yet here I felt myself con- fronted by an unknown power of "tremendous force.

The Russian statesman Stolypin, who had an equal loathing for Rasputin, was convinced that "the мад possessed great hypnotic power," which was 020
