THE FINLAND GU.fRIS.
From The PaH Man Gazette

The thanks and Acknowledgements which tho
Emperor Alexander has returned TO the soldiers of
the Finland Regiment Of the Guard who, by the
latest accounts TcceIf ed have lost ten killed and
fOrty-seyen wounded from the effects OF the eApn-
SION, were certainly no more than tho COURAGE and
presence of mind they displayed upon tins one oc-
caslOn deserved. But lie must have remembered If
every else had forgotten. that this was not tine
first lime he greatly indebted 10 the LOYALTY and
courage of tins regiment. On the 2ltl of December
1925, the Emperor Nicholas, VINO had up To tins
time inhabited the little AnitchOH Palace i'm the
Ncvsk Prospect, took up his quarters with his wife
and family IN the huge Winter Palace on fbo Isaac
square. On the day following he received "a secret
communication from the Sub-Lioutenant Rostoltsof
which might well make hin cXclaIm, " What be-
ginning Of q reign p plot was rcady to break ont
in the Winter Palace itssif, and the regiment of
Grenadicrs of the Guard thai was on duty about
bis person had been canyassed for days 10 jOn IT,
No sooner however, bad he read ltotOitsOPs letter
than he saw that not - moment was to be lost IN
getting rid Of this armed band of consprafOrs who
were his guard and might very likely bc his assas-
SINS even # the revolt were pIeclpltatcd by his 70
dong. The manUuyrc, II mav be remembt ned, was
carried ont by Alexis OrlOh NichOlas's rgh; hand
man, with cOnsummaIe ability aud corresponding
success. A numerous detachment of the Finland Reg
imcnt of Guards sent ioI from their barracks M
the dead Of night; their superior force OVerawed
the Grenadiers who left the Winter Palace without
show Of resistance, the newcomers taking their
places.
This change-and curousy enough. If reports
from Vienna true, similar change OF the guard
was made short time before tho late explosion,
two sOtnias Of Cossacks making way for the Fin
land Rrgmeut-was not carried ont one moment too
soon for the next day the shell burst. And when
he revolt bad fairly begun, il was to this FIn
land Regiment that Nicholas entrusted the care of
his family. Taking the little Grand Duke Alex
ander by the hand he said, 81 conlido my son 10
Your care; II Will be your duty 10 defend his lfc."
The rOugh Firms, il IS sad were moved to tears
They took up the child then only seven years old,
in their arms, passed HIM from rank TO rank, and
sworc TO form a rampant of their bodies behind
winch he should be safe. All this must have come
back to the Car OF to-day the baby Czare ewitch Of
1928. when he thanked the Finland Regiment for
their devotion TO his person and house Wodnes-
day last,
