has been kept in tho position for all these
years of q minor or of q judicially adj
judged imbecile, Incompetent to manage
his own affairs and mentally untitled for
any responsibilities. These measures that
the GEAR put into effect against his broth
er to whom he was deeply attached were,
of course, the result of Michael's mar
riage to Nine. Scheremetieffska.
The principal reason for Michael's es-
tates being confscated is that the car
discovered that he was engaged in trans
ferring everything that he could to for
eign banks in the name Of his wife. 1t
is generally believed on the banks of the
Neva and in the official and court circles
of other European capitals that Michael's
offense was something more serious than
a lowly marriage.
1t is pointed out that after all Michaers
uncle, the Grand Duke Paul, disobeyed
the emperor's commands in marrying the
divorced wife of his aide-de-camp, Cen
eral Pistolkors. lady with whom he had
been living for many years and to whom
he gave the marvellous jewels Of his dead
mother.
And a cousin, the Grand Duke Michael
Michaelovitch, similarly defied the car
by marrying the Countess Sophie Meren-
berg, who was born prior to the marriage
Of her father, Prince Nicholas of Nassau.
with the divorced and runaway wife of
a Russian police official. The late Duke
George of Leuchtenberg. member of the
imperial family, was guilty of another
shocking mesalliance, in marrying an
army officers divorced wife, who had for
years presided in left-handed fashion over
the household of that terrible gorgon and
roue, the late Prince Alexander Gortch-
akoff, the famous chancellor of the en-
pire.
All Of these offenders were pardoned
after they had committed their crimes.
There was not one among these and
many others who could be named who re-
ceived the harsh punishment meted out to
Michael. Nor were any publicly dis
graced as Michael was.
Some Russians familiar with imperial
matters assert that the reason for this
severe punishment is that the grand duke
was in some way implicated through his
wife in the latest conspiracy against the
emperor which ended disastrously for the
plotters with the suicide of Admiral Ca
gin, commander Of the imperial yacht.
But it was not the first time that one
brother had plotted against another in
the house of Romanoff. 1t is a matter
of history that the Czarevitch Constantine
conspired against his brother, Nicholas l.
in 1925. His nephew and namesake. the
Grand Duke Constantine Nicholaievitch,
was discovered by the late General Count
Shouvaloff, who was chief of police at
the time, plotting against his brother.
Alexander ii. The emperor with a big
ness Of heart threw the documentary
proofs of this brotherly treachery into the
fire when they were handed to him.
AS late as 1894 when Alexander III
knew that death was coming to him, he
called his brother-in-law, King Edward,
then Prince of Wales, to his Crimean pal
ace Of Livadia and made his English rela-
tive swear that he would remain in Rus
ria until Alexander's son, Nicholas, was
we'll established on the throne. This pre-
caution was a reasonable one, for it was

and soul for England. That German king
in England is to blame. II he were an
Englishman he would be out In the
trenches fighting like Albert of Belgium.
That is what Cromwell would have done"
1t was a German king who was re-
sponsible for the loss Of the United States
to England, she asserts. And she thinks
lishman the United States would have
been as loyal as Canada now is and
probably would have been depending
upon and fighting for England today.
William Dean Howells recently said
that the war was going to stop literature.
AS far as Mrs. Barr is concerned, the re-
mark does not hold good, for she has
just published one novel and is almost
through with another. Seriously. how
ever, she thinks that the war will have
a beneficial effect on literature.
She thinks it is going to have a ben
eficial effect on women. too, for she

She calls attention to the fact that in
1850 everybody began to dance. She was
living In Austin. Texas. then, and when
the session Of the legislature was over
the legislators would come out Of the
state house, take partners and dance by
moonlight down the streets. This hap
pened every night and there was q riot

She even thinks that the dancing

worldly means she now possesses From
1870 to 1855 she spent her time in New
York supporting herself and her children
by writing She had very little money
to spend. Her luncheon used to consist
of bread and butter and on special oc-
casions an apple would be added for
dessert. But an apple meant that she
would have to walk to her home instead
Of taking the car.
She does not believe in the idea that
talented woman should sacrifice her
home and children to her profession. In
fact she breaches just the other thing.
She thinks 1t Is criminal for q woman
to go into q profession or business
simply for the sake of having an out

For this condition Mrs Barr blames
not the clergy particularly but her old
horror, the frivolous. selfish, maternity
hating modern woman. She thinks the
women have helped to commercialize the
churches. They run card parties and
oazars for the churches. They sell sofa
pillows and fancy work and dish cloths.
They do all sorts Of work like that that
the minister can hardly do.
Here Is Mrs. Bars tombstone for a
good book: If you find 1t hard to lay
down q book when the dinner bell rings
then It is a good book. Also it's a good
book If you enjoy your second reading

says, because 1t is being made for tired

The women Of today are tired out from
doing nothing that Is worth doing. They
rush about and do lot of talking about

tainty that Alexander's brother. Vladi
mir, prompted by his ambitious wife, was
preparing to make an attempt to seize the
crown.
1t has long been known in Russia that
the present car, like his father, will do
everything he can to prevent any of the
sons Of Vladimir from entering the line
Of succession. The eldest son of Vladimir
who is the Grand Duke Cyril, has fla
GRAVITY and tauntingly disobeyed the car
and has several times violated the strict
laws of the Russian orthodox church. He
did this first by marrying his first cousin,
Princess Victoria of Great Britain and
Coburg, the divorced wife of the Grand
Duke of Hesse. brother to the czarina.
In Russia the czars are not only the
temporal but also the ecclesiastical rul-
ers of the empire. In the eyes of their
leges they occupy a position similar to
that of the pope in the Roman COM
munlon. Therefore a prince whose mar
rage violates the law of the national
church cannot become its supreme pom
tiff. The Grand Duke Cyril and his wife
live abroad at all times, virtually exiles
from their native land
CyriPs brother is practically in the
same position. He is the Grand Duke
Boris and his freedom in living his life
as he sees it has won for him an unen-
viable reputation. While Russia was
fighting with Japan Boris behaved so bad
ly that the Russian generalissimo had to
threaten him with cOurt-martal and
ordered him to take his departure from
the seat of war. He lives in exile in
Paris.
The third brother is the Grand Duke
Andrew. He likewise has incurred the
displeasure of the car through the many
unsavory escapades with which his name
is connected. Just before the war he
brought deluge of imperial wrath upon
himself by contracting a marriage with a
Petersburg ballerina. Mile. Kechissinka.
He lives with her abroad at the present
time.

and is a tall, good looking. handsome and
attractive, wholesome young man.
1t Is said that a marriage has already
been arranged between Demetrius Paul
ovitch and the cars eldest daughter, the
Grand Duchess Olga. If this happens 1t is
almost certain that the emperor at the
celebration Of the wedding will designate
the Grand Duchess Olga and her consort
as heirs to the throne in place of the
weakly czarevitch. They may also be
made regents of the empire in default OF
the czarina. To make their position
stronger in case the grand dukes should
start revolution the car could ask the
consent of the Duma. which would be
gladly granted because the grand dukes
are heartily hated the length and breadth
Of the empire. Demetrius is the only RI
val of Michael for the Russian throne.

any scion of the house of Romanoff who
is guilty of a mesalliance, or in other
words, one who marries a woman not be-
longing to one of the sovereign dynasties
Of Europe.
In this way Michael has been hit by
decree after decree. A decree published
two years ago by the car explicitly ex-
cludes the grand duke from sharing in
the regency, and deprived him not only
of his military and imperial honors and

his property.
The administration of the property was
taken over by the car and later put into
the hands Of his brother-in-law, the
Grand Duke Alexander Michaelovitch,
who has been acting as curator, and who
has merely accorded Michael an income
from his estates sufficient for his needs.
The amount has always been determined
by the emperor.
