The article proceeds:
"She cried in a trembling voice, 'Oh daughter, cruel——' (the woman's speech is all excised save the words 'the devourers fight among themselves,' although the passage appears to be taken from nothing more modern or harmful than a famous tragedy).
The writer makes a last effort:
"The adversary's position was now very serious. Throwing himself upon his knees, he cried, 'Our Father, which art——' (Even of the Lord's Prayer the censor allows only this beginning and the final 'Amen.')"
["HOCH DER CZAR!"]
During a fortnight's sojourn with his armies in the field the Czar spoke to thousands of wounded, according to a Petrograd correspondent. His Majesty visited the Germans and Austrians in field hospitals, addressing kindly words to them. In one ward, entirely occupied by wounded Germans, the men, who were unable to rise, spontaneously greeted the Czar with a three-fold Hoch!
The Czar inquired about the identity and direction of a column passing the imperial train. He was told they were officers and men recovered from wounds returning to their respective regiments. His Majesty alighted and asked where and how they had been wounded. It appeared they all had participated in the early battles of the war. They were anxious again to go to the firing line.
