NEW YROK, Sept 8.-The Grand
Duke Nicholas has been removed from
his command and the Russian armies
will be directed hereafter by board
OF control, presided over by the czar.
This Is the most probable inference
that can be drawn from the czar's
telegram to President Poincare, Of
France, announcing. he himself, has
resumed command of the Russian
army.
A Russian grand duke cannot be
publicly disgraced after he has had
supreme command Of the Slav forces
for more than a year. But he can be
privately reduced In rank by just
such action as the. car has taken.
At the beginning Of the war, Grand
Duke Nicholas was made commander
in chief OF the Russian armies. He
superseded the czar himself. whose
own title is more simply "chief of th':
army The czar stepped into the
background and during the past year,
stories have been told Of the rathe- Z
curt treatment shown to the czar by
the grand duke on the formers visits
to the front.
Nicholas is man of, stern charac
ter, a SCr1CI QlSClpilHdTldu dHu Is III
accustomed to intimate friendships.
This may be the type that meets with
popular approval when victories are
being won, but when defeat begins,
and disaster follows disaster, the

grand duke has little chance Of con.
tinuing to hold his command.

AZ dawn, two German taubes
crossed the French lines near Nancy,
and sped toward the French aviation
camp, flying rapidly and at height
OF nearly Z mile. Anti aircraft guns
began popping at the Germans and
French air patrols tilted upward In
pursuit.
The foremost Of the German Bird
men suddenly turned and headed back
toward the German lines. A small OBJ
Ieet fIuttered down from his taube
and then second as the other taube
wheeled In flight. Several aWators
ran out from the hangers and pick d
up the objects, small floral Wreaths
with brief formal messages OF corr
dolence for Latouche,s family.
Nearly 100 French avIators attended
the funeral service. The body was
borne to train on the undercarriage
Of dismantIed bi-plane.
De Latouche was the first French
aviator TO receive certificate as a
military pilot. On the saarbruekon
raid he acted az observer. His ma
chine was surrounded by three taubes
and the captain wAs shot through the
bead and breast. His pilot was un-
hurt ard sped back to the French
lines, bringing the body. The news
OF De Latoucfe's death was passed to
