Petrograd, March 1.-THE % re-

ries loomed-Iarge and radiant last
night as the most probable outcome
of the great revolt.
The monarchy has been suspended.
No regent has been, or will be,
appointed until the people of Russia
have spoken their will. 1t will be
spoken at a popular convention in the
near future. 1t will decide what
form of government the people Of
Russia will have here after.
Meantime the affairs of the great
former empire will be conducted by
the ministry formed as the result of
the overthrow of the reactionary
government Everything indicates
that it has the great masses of the
people on it's side. The elements that
were instrumental in forming it were
labor and the soldiery. Out of sew

Russia's revolt is over. But its
evolution has only begun. Stormy
days are still ahead.
Boulder, Colo, March 17.-''Grand
Duke AleXandrovitch is not 4 strong
enough man to handle the affairs of
Russia" This was one of the reasons
given last night by Count Tolstoi, son
of TIE famous Russian novelist, IN
his argument that the regency of
the grand duke would be unsuccess-
full. Count Tolstoi said the grand
duke does not possess force of char
acter enough to carry through the
reforms demanded by the people, nor
the ability to handle the affairs of
government.
'Russia's revolution is rot due"
the count declared, 'to the food short
age. The idea is ridiculous and has
absolutely nothing to do with the
conditions. Underlying the whole
thing is the question of reactionary
ministers and the pro-German minis
ters in the cabinet.

U-BOAT WARY OF GUNS.
Algonquin's Captain Regrets Ship
Was Not Armed

Algonquin's Captain Regrets Ship
Was Not Armed
London. March lift we had
been armed I do not believe the sub
marine would have got us" said Cap
tain Nordberg, of the American
steamship Algonquin, sunk by a Ger
man submarine on March II, in an
interview. Explaining his reasons for
this opinion, he continued:
"You must remember that we
sighted the submarine when she was
three miles away, before she opened
fire, She was not submerged, and
made good target. If we had car,
ried but one gun at the stern OF the
Algonquin, I firmly believe we would
have been able to give a good ac-
count of ourselves. In other words,
I believe that if we had not been
successful in sinking the submarine
we. at least, would have been able
to frighten her off. AS it was, we
were easy prey. If the submarine
commander was not able at first to
see through his glasses that we were
unarmed, he could rest assured OF
that fact as he came nearer ana sa"
that we did not return his fire.
"I am convinced, from the cautious
ness displayed by the submarine in
our case, that submarine commanders
are taking no chances. The fact tna'
when the submarine came near the
Algonquin it showed only the peris'
cone until it was absolutely salts
fed that we had no guns concealed
aboard is an additional reason for my
holding the belief that they do no
attack armed vessels with the same
freedom as in the case OF unarmet
ships.
"Another point worth mentioning
is that l am certain that if we hat
been armed and able to hold oul
fire until the periscope appeared
alongside the Algonquin we could
have sent the submersible to the bot
tom as sure as taxes. The com
mander of the submarine displayed
cautiousness throughout the business
of sinking the Algonquin. p"

mobilize STATE TROOPS
Governor Stuart Announces Receipt
of Telegraphic Request From War
Department.

Orders for the immediate prepara-
ton of a mobilization camp for the
Virginia National Guard at war
strength have been received by Adj
jutant- General w. w. Sale from the
War Department. Steps to carry
out the order have been taken az
once. Majors Allen Potts and 10
Lane Stern went on duty yesterday
morning for the purpose of selecting
the camp site and getting it in shape
for the possible mobilization of the
State forces.
The telegram from the War De-
partment was received here late
Thursday night, and was at once for
warded to General Sale, who was in
Norfolk attending banquet to the
Norfolk Blues The Gen
eral at once called up Governor
Henry C. Stuart and read it over the
longdistance telephone. Governor
Henry C. Stuart later made public
the fact that orders "to prepare at
once mobilization camp for the full
war strength of the Virginia militia
had been received
Major Allen Potts, quartermaster
of the Virginia National Guard, was
ordered to duty, and will be assisted
in selecting the camp site and its
preparation for the troops by Major
10 Lane Stern, ins2ertorgeneral.
They were notified by tn, 4 werner
last night to go on duty this morn
ing.
Richmond will undoubtedly be the
mobilization point. The camp must
have city water, electric lights, drain
age ard railroad sidings. Owing to
the number Of railroads at this point,
regular army officers have decided
that Richmond is the most practica-
bic point in the state for mobilizing
troops quickly, and the speed with
which the last mobilization was car
ried out justified that decision.

ery, founder and chief of the Wash

ted, with central offices in New
York City, which agency is in charge
of the men brought here to break
the strike, arrived in Washington
last night for stay of severa! days
to look over the situation.
After examining reports Of his as
sistants in his room at the New Will
lard, and engaging in conversation
with other of his men in the Occlden-
tai Hotel, Mr. Vickery expressed him
self as being well satisfied with the
striking conditions. He predicted
that the trouble would soon be over.
Mr.. Vickcry based his declaration,
that most of the employees would re-
turn to work, upon his long and var
led experiences in every section of
this country. His agency has hand
led confidential work for the largest
business concerns in the United
States and has an international rep1-

And dwell on the memories of joys

Unknown and forgotten by some ne

But the grave that contains him Is

Thank God for the faith that teaches
When struggles of life are Ger,
I shall meet my own, my loved one
And shall know him once more.
