In Augusta and assumed his duties with

NICHOLAS JOURNEY
WAS WITHOUT P0MP

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Hardin. M~anchuria. Sept. 1o.-The
journey Of Nicholas Romano1, former
" Emperor Of Russia, from Tsarkoe
Selo to Tobolsk, which was accom-
plished without the knowledge of SOL
diers and civilians along the railway
zone which he passed, is described in
detail by a prominent Russian now in
Hardin, who has personal knowledge
Of the secret trip.
Because of the feeling against the
Romanof family il vas not advisable
to use the former Emperor's own train.
Instead three ordinary first class
sleeping cars were provided for NJ.
Romanof, his family and their attend
ants. Three hundred soldiers also ac-
companied the party.
The train started from Tsarkoe Selo
Is. NJ. Kerensky. the Russian premier.
family goodbye.
The journey required five days. All
stops at stations were as short as pos
sible, and the members of the party
kept concealed while at large stations.
Every evening after dinner the train
stopped for an hour at some wayside
station or remote switch that Nicholas
and his family might have an oppor-
tUnity to exercise. Throughout the
trip he seemed to be in the best Of
health, M took an interest in his sur
~roundings. He val extremely agree
able TO all the members of the party.
The former Empress, Alexandra Alix,
remained in her apartment throughout
the journey, where meals were served
to her and her son Alexis. She had
the appearance Of a woman suffering
from nervous p~rostration.
All the four former grand duchesses
were in exc client health and seemed
TO be in lively spirits every day. All
had their heads shaved, a practice pop
ular with Russian women today in or
der to make the hair grow better.
Little Alexis, although limping slight
ly. apparently had recovered from his
recent illness.
At Krasnoyarsk. a Siberian city,
where anarchical agitators hold sway.
the railroad station for three days had
been crowded with soldiers, who were
anxious to capture the imperial fam
lily. but when the troops learned where
Nicholas and his family were being
sent, they discontinued their hostile
demonstration.
Tobolsk is the capital of the province
of the same name. and was formerly
the ancient capital Of old Siberia. It
has been an important refuge for po-
4 litical exiles for many years. and Mich
olas and his family are quartered in a
building originally erected for exiles
and recently altered.

t~ragically in the downfall Of the Ro-
manoffs, was born in the province Of
Tobolsk and erected a monastery in
