IS HEM OFTHE
IMPERIAL HEADQUARTERS,
; RUSSIAN ARMY, Oct. 10.—(By
: Mail.)—General Michael ^lexieff,
Nicholas II’s chief of staff and, next
to the emperor responsible for opera
i tions along the whole Russian front,
is the son of a preacher and a self
made man. He is at the top because
he put himself there by hard work.
He never had a pull. Here is a story
[ which explains Alexieff.
! When the emperor assumed com
I mand of the army and General Alex
j ieff came here to work wtih him, the
i czar and his chief of staff always
! lunched together at the czar’s quar
ters. The imperial chamberlain, the
governor of the palace, a couple of
[ aides-de-camp, the young heir to the
! throne, and the emperor's physician
were always at these meals and it
was seldom that several important
guests were not present. The lunches
naturally were of a more or less for
mal nature ending up with coffee
and smokes and the inevitable con
versations, in all consuming about an
hour and a half.
General Alexieff stood this for
some clays but it was apparent he
was getting more and more ill at
ease. Finally one day he went to
the czar.
“Sire,” he said, “I realize it is ini
. possible to cut the lunch shorter. But
I am losing a lot of time every day.
Permit me to lunch with my officers,
at their mess. I will be very grate
ful.” The emperor laughed.
“Of course it shall be as you wish,
general,” he said. And from that day
on the chief ate with his men.
The officers’ mess is at a requisi
tioned hotel about two squares dis
tant from staff headquarters. /Lunch
is served at 1:80 p. m. Precisely at
1:26 the general appears at the door
of headquarters and sets off briskly
apart towards the hotel. This is a
large part of his daily portion of
physical exercise. At 1:29 8-4 by the
clock he enters the mess hall, shakes
a few hands rapidly, if there are any
new members of the mess, walks to
the lar end of the room and sits
down. His officers follow suit. The
trooper-waiters are waiting with the
first dish and the meal begins.
There is, for example, an omelette,
a roast, salad, a sweet and coffee
j with the light Crimean table wine if
: desired—else milk, kvass, the nation
al non-alcoholic drink, tea or water.
The meal lasts on an average of 35
minutes. Today General Pau, the
famous French general, was a guest
of the mess and 50 minutes were al
lowed. Tomorrow,, very probably,
lunch will be cut to 30 minutes so
General Alexieff can regain some of
his precious seconds.
Just as the general’s sitting is the
signal for the lunch to begin, his ris
ing is the signal for it to end. Many
a young officer, inclined to talk and
linger over his coffee, is to be seen
pushing back his chair and rising,
drinking at a gulp his neglected bev
erage while on the rise. There is no
fooling around, no loitering. In three
minutes the hall is empty of all save
the waiters clearing off the tables
and the officers have gone back to
their duties, General Alexieff leading
the band.
His program is hardly more varied
than that of the director of a great
railway system working in an of
fice in New York or Chicago. He
simply works harder, that is all. He
rises about 7 o'clock, breakfasts
American fashion and goes at once to
his office in the staff headquarters
building, next door to the emperor’s i
quarters. He remains at his desk un
til the czar arrives around 10 o’clock,
when he makes his report, confers
with the imperial commander-in-chief,
gets his instructions and sends his
despatches. By this time it is lunch
hour.
After lunch, more office work. At
5 o’clock there may, or may not, be
a military council of himself and vis
iting generals from the various sec
tors of the firing line. But at 7:30
o’clock he has his dinner, again at
the mess. After dinner he continues
to work out the details of maneuver
ing an army in the field. He gets to
| bed late and manages with about sev
en hours sleep. He is a good sleeper
| and drops off as soon as his head
hits the pHlow on his folding camp
bed.
The general’s hair is white around
the temples, sparse on top of his head
and gray. He is a typical Russian
type, nose somewhat turned up, gray
eyes and steely in their glitter. He
wears silver spectacles which loop
over the ears. His . white mustaches
are rather long and outstanding, with
a tendency to turn up at the ends. On
the tunic of his khaki uniform he
wears only two decorations, one be
ing the white cross of St. George,
(awarded for conspicuous bravery ir
action, the other the red cross o1
Vladimir.
Officers and soldiers here hold Gen
eral Alexieff in great esteem, botl
personally and professionally.

to view the new wall decorations on

papers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.
