Editorial Asks Jews
To Forgive Russia

Under the heading, "From Chains to
Freedom" a plea for the forgiveness
OF Russia by the Jews is made in an
editorial in to-day's issue of "The
Day." Jewish daily. The editorial
points out that Russia has frankly
ayowed its wrongs to the Jews in an
nouncing their freedom, and that in
the light of their liberation the Jews
can afford to be magnanimous toward
the new Russia.
To-day we can carry our heads
erect" the article says, "and every
where look upon our neighbors as
equals--in Russia as well as in other
countries. To-day there is no need
TO smother feelings of envy in our
hearts; we no longer have to swallow
insults silently. To-day and hence
forth, our brethren in Russia, the bulk
of our nation, are citizens"

Every effort was made TO keep MN IN

others refused TO inform the Emperor
he would do so. Nicholas, who had
been sleeping, WAS awakened at 2
o'clock in the morning He went TO the
dining car and demanded that Admiral
Nilof tell him what had happened IN
Petrograd. He was told that crowd
of students. hoodlums and young SOL
diers had terrorized the Duma, but that
a few detachments of troops would be
able to put them down,
Just then Commander Voyekoff OF
the imperial train, entered with tele-
gram stating that 700 of the ST. George

and had arrived at the nearby station

Pe,rograd. March 20.-It would De
Improbable to go fully into all the
court scandals or the constantly accu-
mulating evidence by which seems 10
be clearly established the weak char-
acter and incredible lack Of foresight
of Nicholas II and his apparent lgno-
rance of conditions which spelled his
inevitable downfall. Most surprising
Of all was the Emperor's stubborn re-
fusal to be guided by the counsel OF
members of his own family ana MS
quiet assumption that all was well with
the country at a time when the whoIe
nation was on the brink Of active revo-
luton.
Grand Duke Nicholas Michaelovitch
made most persistent efforts 20 apprse
Emperor Nicholas that the country was
in danger and the throne tottering' but
the Emperor showed no more signs oil
being stirred by this warning than by
that of the Empress Dowager and a
multitude Of other personages VINO ap-
preached him.
Czarina Destroyed Warning
Late in November Grand Duke Mich
olas MichaelOvitch took to the palace "a
letter which he had written and read II
aloud to the Emperor and Empress. IL
expressed in most blunt fashion me
danger the country was IN and shoWeu
how only by the promptest action the
Tmperor could save the empire from
complete collapse. The grand duke
took no pains to conceal the RaspuJin
scandal. but when the name OF the I'm,
press was mentioned the latter snatcheo
the letter from Nicholas Mlchaeio-
vitch's hand and tore IL up.
When the Emperor received IN silence
the statement that Protopopof Minis,
ter of the INTERIOR had been tolsted
upon him by Rasputin and listened 10
the other accusations without denying
or showing signs of being the least con,
fused by them. the grand duke lost all
patience and shouted at his majesty:
"Do none of these things move you :
You make me think of Alexander l..
Ignored Appeal of Grand Duke
An appeal 10 the Emperor signed by
seventeen grand dukes made no greater
impression, and Vladimir Purishkevich,
vice-president of the Union of True
Russians and a prominent member OF
the Duma. paid fruitless visit to the
palace on the same mission. All spoke
freely to Nicholas of the growing dan
ger TO the dynasty and the necessity
of his protecting himself against the
inAuence of the Empress. To all these
the Emperor replied; -, -

Mother, Estranged from
Court, Meets Nicholas
After His Abdication

Petrograd. March 20.-The former
Empress Dowager Marie Feodorovna,
who was at Kiev. went to meet her son,
former Emr error Nicholas, as he was re-
turning after his abdication. She had
long resented the influence over Memo
las welded by the Empress Alexandra,
Gregory Rasputin. the mystic monk
and Mile. Nirubova, ELIMINATING 20
the Empress and Alexandra's best
friend. who had introduced Rasputin
to the Empress.
Marie Feodorovna only saw Aleyan-
Ora when court functions required that
she do so. Since early in January she
mad been at Kiey and had refused to
come to the capital. Her meeting
with Nicholas was said TO have been
very affecting. The object of her visit
to him was 10 advise with him as TO her
future residence. 1t is reported that
she intends to 20 to Denmark, her ma
tive country.
1t is expected that Nicholas Ro-
manoff. as the former Emperor is now
known. will eventually go to Swltzer-
land or France, his stay in the Crimea
being temporary. Most Of the mem
bers of his suite have acknowledged the
new government.
Most of the grand dukes IN the mill
tary service will retain their posts, at
least temporarily.
The new Minister Of Trade and In
dustry is in communication with the
workingmen and promises to develop
plans for workingmen's unions. which
were formerly prohibited, abolish Grim
inal penalties for strikes. regulate
hours and conditions of work and pro-
mote workingmen's insurance.
Among the reforms in the army
which have been indicated by Minister
of War Guchkof in formal order to
the troops are that soldiers shall be
addressed as you" instead of the ia
miliar thou" that soldiers shall adj
dress their superiors as mister in
stead OF "excellency," and that the ban
on soldiers smoking in the streets, en-
tering public places and streetcars and
participating in political organizations
Shall be abolished.

ing to information received here from
Russia. the Russian Emperor sent Cen

that the Emperor's cause was hopeless.
1t is believed here that any grave

"The Golden Claw with Bessie Barriscale and Frank Mills in the leading roles, will be seen at the Palace tonight, tomorrow and Mon day, having opened at the matinee today.
 It is a TriangleKayB photo play. Miss Barriscale has the role of fluffy, futtcring, characterless shadow of womanhood who marries for the greed of gold rather than love, home, happiness and hus- band, only in the end to realize the value of felicity and a fireplace. Frank Mills, who plays the part of money-hardened capitalist, has never been seen in a picture that suits his exacting talents more per fectly. As a whole, "The Golden Claw" is one of the most intense ly interesting and dramatic of pho toplays.
