Incredible as all this appears, it is even harder to believe that the "London Times" and "The London Daily Telegraph" were influenced by the Czar's gold to some extent.

Some commentators have had him dead and others considered his species extinct; but now comes a persistent rumor that he is to return, groomed and fit, the "dark horse" of the next Presidential Derby in 1924.
