NEW YORK. May Predicting
that a republic of peace will rise in
Russia after the war, Premier LvOff
of the provisional government today
sent a message to the American peo
pie, through Isaac f. MarcOsson, rep
resentative of EverybOdy's Magazine.
"The newest of democracies greets
America with peculiar fervor, because
it feels that the American people can
readily understand what the great
Russian revolution means" said Mr..
Lvoff "Autocracy in Russia is dead
forever. In its stead will soon rise
republic of peace"
1--WE wish America to realize thor
oughly that there can be but one re-
suit of the great upheaval, and that
result a real democracy modelled
along the lines of the American repub-
lie, creating a government by and for
the whole people. 1t will mean jus
tice and opportunity to everybody.
"The name Russia once meant dark
ness and oppression. 1t will now
mean light and freedom. The New
Russia will be the frankest and most
liberal of republics. In new Russia
the Jew and Gentle are brothers.
I'VE want America to know that
Russia will continue the war to a
peace dictated by allied victory. The
revolution, which wiped out pro-Ger-
man cOnspiracies against national
line, insures the result. Only on COM
plete victory can our republic Of peace
be reared
I'm that struggle we are proud to
have America as an ally. Russia looks
to America for fresh bonds and new.

BRITISH SWEAR THEY WON'T
HAVE GERMAN AND NO OTHER
GIRL IS ELIGIBLE
Religious and Political Differences
Prevent Match On Continent So The
Prince Must Die Bach or "Chuck
His Job"
BY LOWELL MELLETT
Omitted Pressl

LONDON, May 24-English society
has sidetracked most other activities
for the serious business of picking a
bride for the Prince of Wales. The
price himself, somewhere in France,
is wooing the fortune of war, prob
ably unaware of the concern he is Civ
ing English society.
Society's cause for concern is the
fear that the prince may follow the
precedent of preceding heirs to the
throne and marry a foreign princess
even a German one, for which the
precedent is very recent. And so
ciety-spelled with either a small OF
capital "S' isn't going to stand fol
anything like that. "A British queen
for the British is becoming society's
motto and it has passed from whisper
ing tea-time circles to the bold pub
licity of the newspaper editorial page
Conservatives and radicals alike are
declaring it.
$50 far as Britain is concerned the
German royal matrimonial emporium
henceforth is a bankrupt and discred
tied concern, and the marriageablt
members of our Royal family will be

pleased to look for consorts nearer
home"
This is from Northcliffe's conserva-
tive Weekly Dispatch:
1--WE want no more foreigners in our
Royal Family. 1t is not their fault,
it is their misfortune, that they are
pure German in blood, and that when
ever and wherever a royal prince or
princess is born it is pure German in
blood. There is no British blood in
our royal family. The remedy is OBJ
viOus.'
That from the more radical Evening
Star:
English opinion, at the present
time. would rather see a British
prince take his wife from the chorus
or the gutter than from a German
royal house. And that, of course, is
not the alternative"
SO chimes in the Manchester Dis
patch:
These newspapers and others are
urging revision of the Royal Marri-
ages Act, whereby princes of the roy
al line are practically compelled to
marry foreign princesses. The law
was passed in 1872 as the result of
George IT'S anger at two brothers
who married English ladies of far
from Royal rank. 1t has had many
awkward consequences, since outside
of Germany nearly all reigning houses
are Roman Catholic with whom an al
lance would be impossible for the
head of the church Of England
This causes a correspondent of the
London Times to say:
THE Russian Royal Family are not
barred on religious grounds but after
the recent revolution it would be a
blazing indiscretion for our court to
bring about an alliance with them. The
royal families of Italy and Belgium
are barred by Roman Catholicism and
the French Bourbon and Orleans prin-
ces or pretenders are equally inelig-
ible for that reason or for the offense
which would be given the French Re
public"
Almost all discussion of the sub
iect, therefore, gets back to principle
of a British bride for the heir APP
parent.
AS terrible examples of German al
liances the ex-Esaritza and Queen So
phie of Greece are held up. The one
is believed to have exerted great in
fluence over the Car and the other to
have aided materially the Kaiser's con-
troll of King Constantine.
The German Queen Mother of Hol-
land and the German Queen of Swed-
en- likewise are held up to view as in
stances of the danger, while the Man
chester paper brings the matter closer
home, by saying:
Gwen in England the position has
not always been as clear as one would
have liked to see it. We have seen
a Royal mother opening bazaars IN
our midst while her son was in arms
against us. We have seen the brother
of a royal prince who fought and died
for England fighting for Germany
and telling an American reporter that
lie hoped the fact of his detection had
not caused him to be struck off the
list of members of his London club
The masses will not insist on the
maintenance of the old system, the
Dispatch says; they always take the
romantic view of affairs of the heart.

NATIONAL LEAGUE MUST
WIN THIS YEAR OR SUFFER
President Says They Have As Good
Material as America, But Do Not
Appear As Wen.
Omitted Press)
BY II. c. HAMILTON


NEW YORK, May 24-"The Nation
al league must win some worlds
championships or baseball-as we'll as
the National leagues going to suf-
fer" said John X. Tener, president of
the National league, today
"The ease with which the Red SOX
defeated Brooklyn last year and the
fact that they had little trouble in
winning from Philadelphia the year
before makes it rather hard for the
National league.
rive haven't been winning worlds
championships often enough. The
regulations of the old Cubs and the
old Giants doesn't do us much good.
The fact that the Braves established
a record by winning a worlds cham
pionship in four straight games, de-
feating what is called the greatest
baseball machine ever pieced together,
doesn't get us any prestige at all. We
have got to win championships and
keep on winning them
81 realize just as much as any one
that our league doesn't seem to shape
up with the American, although l do
know in my own heart that by COM
parison-hOnest comparison on the
record of years-that we do not suf-
fer"
Tener undoubtedly has grasped the
point on which the National league
kind of baseball is going to live or
die. The National league will have
to win some championships before
it can take rank with the brand pro-
duced by Ban Johnson's subjects.
New York has acquired, consider
able of National league baseball
club. 1t is expected everywhere that
II will win the National league cham
pionship. If it does it will provide
some pretty strong opposition for any
thing the American league can trot
out. In a short series it would be a
hard task to defeat that aggregation
of high-strung, manipulating athletes.
The regularity with which the Ath-
letics formerly crushed National lea
que opposition, the success of the
Red Sox in 1912 and their two later
victories in 1915 and 1916 look rather
bad for the National league-and all
this in spite of the wonderful Cubs
the Pirates and the amazing feats OF
the Braves.
