PLAN TO DRIVE
GERMANS OUT OF
RUSSIA HELD UP
Halt in Proceedings Said to Be Due To
Difficulty of Getting People to Re-
place Germans Who Hold I'm
portant Positions in Educa-
tional Scheme.


Petroerad, Feb. 26.-The proposal TO
Dust the German population from Rus
STA still hangs fire. Recommendations
made before the imperial council and
several commissions and sub-commis-
sions appointed by the government have
included the government purchases OF
all landed propert. owned by Russian
citizens OF German nationality and the
expulsion Of these subjects from Rus
STA. But owing TO the difficulty Of re-
placing the Germans, who occupy an i'm
portant position in Russia's industrial
scheme the German problem still lies
before the commissions with little prob
ability Of immediate solution.
The liberally-inclined members believe
that while the Germans should not con
tinue 10 enjoy the special privileges
which have favored German industry in
Russia in the past. they should not, ON
the other hand. b. thus summarily de-
prived Of their rights IN Russia, 20 long

his law Office. Mr. Webb is very much
ly dissatisfied with Kitty, as she de-
ccivcs him by her change in appear
ance. II seems very funny to Kitty
and Travcr& but not the future hus-
band. He can hardly realize that The
Deaatlful lady he saw wandering in
the garden is the one he met in Mr..
Travcrs' Office and is to marry. BY
the aifectiOnatc feeling Madame
Descmano has for Mr.. Webb, and Of
course as most foolish and wealthy
boys, he grants her everything in her
favor and after meeting tho beautiful
Kitty he is quickly married and con-
tinucs to deceive the one he thought
he loved, which makes Madame Dcsr-
miano Omts jealous. Miss Fannie
Downs as Mdmc Desemiano and Mr..
Edwin Alberto as Travcrs also are
featuring parts in the play.
The Marriage of Kitty has people
