SAVED HER Jewels
Former Russian Czarina Sent
.4a@ Gems to Germany.
Treasure Estimated to ee Worth $780,
100000 Kept Out Of Hands OF the
Rsvolutionists.

The Russian royal Jewels, Including
the gems that incrusted the Imperial
Romanoff crown, are safe from the
democratic hands of the new rulers IN
Petrograd. With woman's fntuitive
knowledge of trouble ahead. the for
mer czarina had them tucked away IN
safe deposit vault in her ancestral
city of Darmstadt. Germany, right at
the beginning Of the war.
And there they will remain until Mr..
and Mrs. Romanoff claim them again,
says the New York Tribune.
The story Of the Russian royal jew
els is told in the Chronicle by writer
who says that the former czarina
was largely responsible for the war, in
that she assured her German friends
and relatives that Russia would not be
q formidable antagonist. She proceed
ed to prove this antebellum prediction
by pro-German intrigue which ended
with the revolution and the overthrow
Of the Romanoff dynasty.
But the former czarina, who, before
her marriage was Princess Alexandra
Alice Of Hesse, had no illusions about
Germany. Accordingly, she packed up
the family jewels in the summer OF
1914, when she saw the international
war clouds appear, and sent them in
charge of trusted messengers to her
brother. the grand duke of Hesse, for
safe keeping till peace was restored.
The royal emissaries Travelled by the
way of Finland and Sweden. They
reached their destination before the
mobilization OF the Russian army was
complete.
The tale of the czarina's German
forehandedness in the matter Of saving
the family gems Is said to have been
revealed by members of the Russian
commission, who visited New York
city recently.
A New York society woman had her
eye peeled for bargains in royal jew
elry and approached members of the
commission on the subject of purchas-
ing string Of rare pearls which she
had seen the former czarina wear at
fashionable European resort some
years ago. She was told that she would
have to talk to Mrs. Romanoff or her
brother, the grand duke of Hesse.
Ivan Narodny, Russian business
man and writer of New York, COR
roborated the article in the Chronicle.
Mr.. Narodny said it was impossible to
place an exact value on the royal jew
els, but estimated that they ought to
bring close to 100000, 600 in the mar
ket. He said they were OF far greater
intrinsic value than the historic jewels
deposited in the Kremlin, which are
safe.
The disappearance of the royal jew
els became known about month after
the revolution, when the provisional
government appraisers were taking
an inventory OF the Hermitage, one OF
the structures of the winter palace,
where the treasures were supposed to
be kept, according to Mr.. Narodny.
"When the vaults of the Hermitage
were opened the jewel boxes were
gone" said Mr. Narodny. "Ihe i'm
perial crown rcposed on its silk
cushion in one chamber Of the vault,
but all Of it's stones were found to be

Sour Stomach.

Eat slowly,masticate your food thor
oughly, abstain from meat for a few
days and in most cases the sour
stomach will disappear. If it does
not, take one of Chamberlain's Tab

meats are most likely to cause sour
stomach and you may find it best to
cut them out.
