“LIFE: They Called Him The Mad Monk of Russia Iliodor was for many years the closest friend and confidant of Ras- putin, the “holy devil” of the Russian} court. As Father Iliodor, Abbot of the great Russian monastery of Tsaritzin, he was entrusted with the preparation of Rasputin for the priesthood, and the latter, at a time when he was hard pressed by his accusers, sought in every way to promote the fortunes of | Hiodor in order to gain his powerful] support and that of his immense popu- lar following. Later, Iliodor obtained indisputable evidence of the scandalous “exploits ” of Rasputin. He then broke off his irksome friendship and led a popular campaign not only against the “holy devil” himself but also against the Holy Synod and the Czar and Czarina, who shielded Rasputin from the indignation of the Russian people. Unfrocked and imprisoned, Iliodor escaped to Norway and eventually to New York, where he is living at present. His book is entitled, “The Mad Monk of Russia, Iiodor: Life, Con- fessions, and Memoirs of Sergius M. Trufanoff.” It is one of the most The Dethronement of Lucrezia UCREZIA BORGIA was a wife Well known in ancient Rome: Het wondrous gift for taking life Is writ in many a tome. When possible, she reached her ends By using poisoned drink: ‘Twas thus she killed her dearest friends (And husbands, too, I think). But poisoned fans and poisoned rings And poisoned hats and gloves She also used on dukes and kings And too-impassioned loves, The days, they say, were very few When she made no one die; And so her reputation grew What time the years rolled by. ‘Tis possible she still would fill The lofty niche she won, Had not the Huns essayed to kill Each mother and each son; But now, alas, Lucrezia’s fame Is gone beyond recall; For with their chemists in the game, The Germans have it all, of the English Speaking World The Christian Science Monitor—the international daily newspaper, is a vehicle for conveying daily to the progres- sive element throughout the English speaking world a more comprehensive understanding of world events than can be given through the columns of a newspaper of local circulation.

Harry Addison Ease two cents by attempts at populariza- tion. It is a good newspaper, and prints at length many valuable pieces that are not to be found elsewhere except in abbreviated form. Its Washington cor- respondent, Mr. Lawrence, is well worth following. Its Saturday edition may not be worth five cents, but it is not compulsory to read the magazine section, and the rest is good. Even in the magazine section there are some- times good articles, which escape the notice of all but the vigilant. . 1992, Henri Herbaut. Drayton Bryant qgi08® Gratienne Hereau, Frank N, Double- lay.
