.RUSSIA'S FATE IS IN
HANDS OF THE ARMY
NEW GOVERNMENT CAN NOT EN-
DuRE UNLESS APPROVED BY
100000 SOLDIERS.
Surrender of Throne by Emperor May
Be Followed by Republic or An
other Ruler May Be Chosen
Should Army So Decide.

Petrograd.-The house of Romanoff,
which has ruled the empire for 400
years, came to an end with the alb
dication of Nicholas H. perhaps the
weakest representative of his line.
Although apparent from the begin
ming of the revolution that the re-
moval of the monarch was the newt
able end, the actual fact came as an
overwhelming surprise to the popula-
ton. Within four hours after the alb
dication of the Grand Duke Michael,
who automatically became regent on
the passing of the emperor, the, crowds
in the streets had secured ladders and
began to tear the imperial insignia
from the winter palace and the front
of buildings on the main thorough
fares.
Just what form the new government
will assume is indefinite For the
moment entire authority rests with
the twelve members Of the duma ex-
ecutive committee and the cabinet
headed by Prince Lvoff, who, accord
ing to some forecasts, will be presi-
dent of a new republic. 1t is believed
that in the interim and until the con,
vocation of constitutional assembly
power will slowly pass into the hands
Of the new cabinet, which will then
present the anomaly of new govern
ment without a supreme head.
The reception of the new manifesto
at army, headquarters is awaited with
the greatest anxiety for it is known
that unless it is fayorably met by the
100000 men at the front the new
regime cannot endure. There is nc
reason to suppose that the soldiers or
the fighting line will show different
attitude from the soldiers and civilians
in Petrograd and other cities, except
in as far as their remoteness from
the scene of the revolution and par
tial ignorance of the conditions whlcf
brough. it about may affect them. Blu
since upon their acceptance their an
swer is being breathlessly anticipated
With them rests the decision as Il
whether Russia shall build up a new
government on prepared foundation
or be plunged into further disorder.

law
HELD VALID BY
SUPREME COURT
JUDGES IN SIX TO THREE YER
DICT UPHOLD THE ADAMSoN
LAW AS CONSTITUTIONAL.
In It's Decision, However, the Court
Rules That Employees Of Public
Service Corporations May Not
Strike in Concert.

Washington.-By vote of six to
three, the Supreme court on March
10 upheld the right. of congress to
legislate@ along any lines designed to
meet a public emergency, when it up
held the Adamson eight-hour law for
railway employees.
In its decision, however, the court
made the most radical advance in its
history when it ruled that the en-
ployees of public service organizations
have not the right. to strike in con-
cert
"That right" declared Chief Justice
White in enunciating what may yet be
characterized as revolutionary law
and lead directly to public ownership
Of public utilities, rs necessarily sur
rendered when the men are engaged
in public service They are compar-
able to soldiers in the ranks, who, in
the presence of enemies of their coun-
try, may not desert"
The decision was not really neces-
sary at this time, inasmuch as the
railway strike situation had been adj
justed in New York earlier in the
day.
Justices Pitney, Day and Vandevan-
ter dissented from the majority and
held that the law was wage increase
law and no proper regulation of COM
MERGE under the constitution. Justice
McKenna, concurring with the major
lty, held that it involved simply the
| fixing of hours Of labor.
Justice Pitney, for himself and JUS
tice Vandevanter, delivered dissent.
Ing opinion, in which he expressed
j concurrence in the view held by JUS
tice Day that the Adamson law was
unconstitutional, because congress, al
though confessedly not in possession
of the information necessary for in
telligent and just treatment of the
controversy between carriers and
trainmen, arbitrarily imposed upon
the carriers an enormous cost of an
experimental increase in wages, with
out providing for any compensation
to be paid in case the investigation
should determine the improperly OF
the increase.
The installation OF the eight-houi
day for trainmen will, it is asserted
affect more than 100000 railway meT
directly. The new wage scale will
cost the railroads of the country ap
proximately $4,000 900 annually. The
back pay from January / which the
men will receive will total in the
neighborhood of twelve or thirteer
million dollars.
The court decision is regarded as
great victory for the railway EN-
ployees in their fight for an eight-houl
work day, and there will be no strike
Under the agreement reached be
tween the railroads and the men in
Volyed, the men will get an eight-hou
lay, and time and one-eighth for over
time work. This was the only poin
IN which the men yielded. They hat
originally demanded a basis. of TIM
and one-half for overtime.

GERMANS FALLING BACK
Advance Rapid on Both Banks Of
somme, British Going Through
Sixteen Mile Front and French
Advancing Four Miles.

London.-The British and French
troops are sweeping forward in the
Somme and Disc sectors in France,
and the German retreat, which at
first was slow and on narrow fronts,
seems to be gaining momentum.
The latest advance by the British
was made over a front of sixteen
miles and by the French along front
of about fifteen miles, and the entente
allies have penetrated German posi-
lions in this new operation to depth
of from two to four miles.
Bapaume, for many months de-
scribed as a German stronghold, now
is in the hands of the British troops,
having been wrested from the Ger
mans after what the British war office
describes as stiff lighting. It is mass
of ruins.
From Bapaume the fortified lines
newly acquired by the British extend
to the western outskirts of Monchy-
au-Bois. From south of Peronne, the
British have drawn a new line as far
as Fresnes. In all, they have taken
possession Of fourteen villages in their
new advance.
The French have taken up a new
line between Andechy and the Disc
and have occupied the important town
of Roye, where they were enthusiast
tieal1y greeted by the remaining civil
population, whom the Germans left
behind In their withdrawal and have
reached certain points along the ia.
nous Roye-Noyon road.
In the early operations, one by one,
small villages were evacuated by the
Germans. whose withdrawal was slow
ly and watchfully followed by the Brit
ish. consolidation of the new positions
and preparations for a further for.
werd movement being most carefully
made. In the last few days. both the
retreat and advance respectively have
been considerably accelerated.
