 Government Issues News Bulletin
 London, March 1S.-The Grand Duke Nicholas is reported in a Reur ter's despatch from Petrograd to have reached the Russian capitol. The despatch says that he will prob- ably take command of the troops.
 A Reuter- despatch from PetrogrAd says the emperor is expected to arr rive at the Tsarskoe-Selo palace and that several regiments with artillery are hastening thither.
 The question of replacing officers who were disarmed by their own. troops is one which must be decided most promptly. In the meanwhile the provisional government is doing it's utmost to straighten out the nu- merous tangles. The Duma and the Zemstvo council are working hand in hand, although issuing separate proc lamations.
 Despite the non-appearance of newspapers the public is better in- formed of what Is going on than

 When Men Were Hnnghy. K.
 London. March 1t.-ohe of the most remarkable features Of the Rus sian revolution, says Reuters ,Petro. grad correspondent. has been the speed with which the people have re-, sumed normal life. Order is - the watchword of the day. The corree- pondent continues:
 "Sttll more remarkable, lookin~ back over the events of the past few days. is the way in which the same spirit of good order prevailed throurh the hours when the revolt was at it's height. Unorxani4ad crowds of re- volters naerned te falA. rride in doing thtngs regtilariy 7, Fur sfustanc9. inI III sections of the city; fisa crOsrds cont mandeered all motor cars on the streets. but in every case. took the names of the occupants and promised 10 report the names and circumstances to the Duma committee and facilitate the return of the car
 In the view of the populace the revolution was very bloodIess. Cor tainly there has been some bloodshed. but 1t is insignificant in popular esti- nation as compared with the tre- mendous results obtained. For some weeks past everybody in Petrorrad' realized that a crisis of some kind was approaching. The temper, even of the most patient people In the world. becomes affected when they arc obliged to- stand three or four hours in a temperature ten or twenty de- grees below zero waiting for bread. which often was not obtained. Pota- toes had risen eight and nine times their ordinary prices and other food commodities were at cost almost prohibitive.
 Rittich Wasted Words.
 "All explanations of the voluble new minister of agriculture, M. Rittich. were not calculated either to relieve the present hunger or the anxiety for the future. He ascribed the delay in the arrival of flour to a snowstorm. as though snowstorms in Russia in Feb- ruary were an unparalleled phenom- enon. The people in the streets were not the only ones who squirmed un- der this sort of Legislation. The Duma leaders as well regarded the situation as fnexcusable, and President Rod zianko was justified in going to the length of offering his whole-hearted assistance in putting into effect spe- cial emergency measures for increas- ing the food supply.
 Minister of the Interior Proto- popoff was absent from Saturdays conference on the food question. M. Protopopon is a wealthy manufacturer and a courier with a .rer,rtation for debonair duplicity. Residing in the Tzarskoe-Selo palace, he was report ed lately as spending a large part of his time indulging in spiritualistic transactions. Equally detested by the parliamentarians and the people, he never appeared in the Duma since his appointment. <

Cambridge, March 16.-Professor Leo Wiener of Harvard university, . native of Russian Poland, said last night that the revolution in Russia would strengthen the Russian opposi- tion to Germany. ..l
 Tt will stiffen Poland against Ger liinrv :, he added. Poland can secure better guarantees from the Russian people than from Germany.

 London, March 1s-IIenrv N. Hynd- man, leader of the Socialist party in England, commenting upon the Rus- sian revolution, said:
 The success of the Russian revoltl- ton will be regarded as good news everywhere. It certainly is good news for Russia that this crisis, which has been inevitable ever since the death of Rasputin, has come of so smooth .ly and with so little bloodshed. Eng land and France will be the first countries on which the new era should react favorably. It will mean a great difference in the war. Moreover the repercussion soon may be felt in Prussia in a demand for a similar lib eralization of the PrusSian govern ment
 "Naturally the Socialists in Eng land have been aware for some time what was going on in Russia. Although the movement was not socialistic. 1t had the support of the Socialists as a., step in the right direction. The has now culminated in . successful revolution. It's head was the advanced party in the Duma and council of the empire and some of the commanders at the front. Tnc'~ move ment was aimed at taking the hrst favorable opportunity to present an ultimatum to the Czar and Czarina, demanding that they get rid imme- diately of all the pro-German forces and influences which would have crippled Russia and threatening It's very life since the beginning of the war;"
 Caused by Removal of Grand Duke.
 Boston, March 16.-Leutenant1 Michaelof, who was. dis charged from the Russian army last year after being wounded and who came to this country few weeks ago. said last night that the present Rus sian revolution began the day Grand Duke Nicholas was relieved from the command of the armies on the eastern front and sent to the Caucasus.
 Ut was owing to the influence of the pro- German party he said, that Grand Duke Nicholas was sent away. Grand Duke Michael Alexandrevitch, who has been declared regent, is anti German. The Russian people will stand behind him, at least until the war is over."

AN AIRlIAN's DREAM.

When I am tired through and through And all the things have to do My mind escapes on happier wings To an old house, that is mine own. Llchen-kissed and oVergrown: With gables here and gables there And tapered chimneys anywhere: With millstone hearths for burning And kettles singing from the logs: With rough-hewn beams of darkenet Fragrant with taint of smoke; With unexpected steps and hooks Soft water-colors that I love; And in the bedrooms, up above, Where I can lI> without a care. And hear the rustic of the leaves And starlings fighting in the caves Around the house a garden lies, \ many-colored paradise;
 With sunlit lawns and stately trees Ever murmurtng in the breeze; With beds of flowers, not too tame. All bright, and never twice the same And if the Lord is very good And all things happen as they should Transparent as si tie u5iin sHmnmeeri's sky.
