Gar 5 Assumption Of
Military Control and
The Dukes Demotion
Speculation Concerning His Demo
tion Assumes Various Phases
In European Capitals.
BY JACK REMINGTON.

1t is not clear at this time whether
the removal of Grand Duke Nicholas
as commander-in-chief of the Russian
armies is occasioned by military ne
cessity or merely is a political move
brought about by his many enemies.
The fact that Emperor Nicholas has
announced his intention of taking
active charge of the Russian army
and navy would indicate that the czar
is not satisfied with the defensive
measures taken by the grand duke
but if this were the principal rea,
son for ousting the commander-in-
chief il seems impossible that the
czar should make Grand Duke Mich
olas viceroy Of the Caucasus and ap-
point him commander Of the armies
in that region
