Kaiser Denounces
Rumanian King as

Tells Troops Relative Basely
Joined Enemy in Time
of Peril

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 25.-The Ger
man Emperor, in addressing the veter-
ans of the 1916 campaign in Rumania
on Saturday, according to a report re-
ceived here from Berlin, spoke of "the
Hohenzolern who had succeeded a
great and noble prince, and, despite all
traditions, did not know how to keep
the faith" Emperor William also de-
scribed King Ferdinand of Rumania q
member OF the House of Hohenzollern)
as "the renegade who, at the time Ger
many was engaged in a terrible war,
Joined the enemies Of the empire
The Emperor spoke of the eternal
miracle of German strength" which
had been brilliantly proved in fact,
adding:
Indeed, the avenging hand Of the
Judge above US has sealed the fate of
this ruthless former friend. What the
Lord of Hosts may still have in store
we do not know, but, come what may,
we are able to confidently look the
world in the face We did not will this

kerensky Is Prepared
To Fight BolsheUiki,
Say Russians Here

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-In Russian
diplomatic circles il was stated to-day
that Premier Kerensky would In all
probability refuse TO bow to a Bolshe-
wiki majority in the Pan Russian Coun-
Gil of Workmen, Soldiers and Peasants
Deputies, which is TO be held in Petro-
grad in few days, should the Bolshe-
wiki obtain control of the national or
ganization.
The semi official Russian news agen-
cy in New York yesterday declared civil
war in Russia would follow if the
Bolsheviki gain control of the National
Council. and this was interpreted in
that Premier kerensky would head the
movement against the Bolsheviki.
1t was explained in official Russian
circles some time ago that the Bolshe-
wiki are extreme international social
lists, who are opposed to all war and
opposed as we'll TO separate peace.
because such a peace would recognize
the principle of nationality. which they
deny. The Bolsheviki favor urging all
the belligerents 20 inaugurate immedi-
ate negotiations for the establishment
of q general peace, il was stated.
The Russian Embassy to-day made
public an official telegram from the
Petrograd Foreign Office, which said in
part:
"The circumstances which caused the
action of Kornilof will be elucidated
by justice.
Luckily the swiftness Of the liquida-
tion of Korniloff's movement did not
allow disaffection among the soldiers to
develop. and single instances were sue
ceSsfully checked
"ln any case, the confusion in the
life of the army as the result of the
events of the last few days will not in
terfere with the governments fulfilment
of all those measures for the enforce
ment of the army's fighting power which
rad been deemed necessary before
Korniloff's action"

Allies Come to Aid
OfKerensky in Crisis
By Isaac Don Levine

France and Great Britain have just
struck the mightiest blow yet in sup
port of Kerensky, and at a time when
Kerensky sadly needed il. On the eve
Of the meeting Of the all Russian dem
ocratic congress, at which Kerensky is
to make a supreme effort TO over
come the strong Bolsheviki forces, the
Allies have delivered diplomatic mas
ter stroke by assuring the Provisional
Government that they would conclude
no separate peace.
There are two sources from which
rumors suggesting such a peace were
spread throughout Russia One is the
Central Powers. The other the Boil
sheviki. The Germans have wsgcd an
organized campaign TO lure Russia into
signing a separate peace for several
months. But they were finally disil-
lusoned of their expectations. They
therefore changed their tactics and
made every effort 70 discredit the New
Russia so as TO pave the way for peace
with the Western powers at the eX-
pense Of the demoralized youthful re-
public.
The fact that the Pope in his peace
message did not say word about
Russia was taken by the Provisional
Government as a subtle Teuton hint TO
the Allies that the Central Powers were
willing TO make concessions to France
and Britain and Italy, provided they
were given a free hand in the East.
For this reason it was that Kerensky
Indignantly rejected, without considera-
ton even, the Natlcan's message.
While Germany was thus attempting
TO change the Allied attitude toward

Russia her sinister agents in the Slavic
republic were simultaneously busy SOW
ing seeds Of distrust and suspicion OF
the Allies. And Russia to-day is n
fertile land for German intrigue. The
Boisheviki are always in the market for
accusations or insinuatipns against any
government. They are especially glad
to avail themselves Of reports that
might be used as proof OF their belief
that the allies of Russia are selfshly
imperialistic in character and fight for
aggression. There can be no doubt.
therefore, that the Bolshcviki spread
industriously and enthusiastically the
German tale of the Allies intention to
sbandon Russia.
Kerensky and the moderate radicals,
progressives and conservatives, to
whom national preservation is the high
est ideal, were alarmed by the diplo-
n attic man9uvres Of the Teutons. in
tended to make of weak Russia another
Poland. On the other hand, the fanat.

void of all patriotic sentiment, were
triumphant, as the purported intention

universal revolution.

destroys the triumph of the Bolshevik,
correspondingly strengthening the
moderates. At the same time it shows
to the Russian extremists that there
il still such thing as GOOD faith
among the Allies. 1t is a victory for
those Russians, such as Miliukof, Rod
z:anko. Korniloff, who have always ad-
vocated the prosecution of the war in
the closest union with the Allies. FL
Tally, it will raise the prestige of the
British and French governments in the
eyes Of the Russian people.

PETROGRAD, Sept. 24.-As the re-
suit Of months negotiations, after
which decision by Premier Kerensky
was finally asked, a correspondent was
permitted to-day TO inspect the no.
torious Troubetskoi Bastion Of the
Fortress of IS. Peter and Paul, the
Bastile of Petrograd.
In this bastion are now interned
eight exalted culprits. They are Cen
eral Rennenkampf, whose record as q
military judge in 1906, during the at
tempted revolution, constituted a
"hangman's progress" to Siberia; NJ.
Bieletsky, former Director of Police
and accomplice of agents provocateurs;
the reactonary former Minister Of the
Interior, NJ. Makaroff, who procured the
election of burglar to the Duma to
act as a spy; VI. Sikremief, accused OF
serious offences as chief Of the army
motor supply Office; former Minister of
Justice J. Stcheglovitof, whom the
late Count Witte characterized as the
most clever, most corrupt man in Eu-
rope; Prince Alexander Dolgorukoff,
the cavalry commander seized last week
as supporter of General Kornilof;
General Voyeikoff, the former Empe-
ror's palace commandant, and, finally,
Alexander Protopopof, once classed as
a patriotic member of the Duma, next
an oppressive Minister of the Interior
and last the ally and slave Of the
mystic monk Rasputin.
On Bank of Neva
In company with the Assistant Pro-
curer of the Petrograd High Court, the
correspondent drove 10 the fortress.
The bastion, which is a part of the OBJ
solete Notifications, is on the banks of
the Neva. II is two-story, hexagonal
building surrounding a courtyard, along
five sides of which run double tier of
low, arched windows, heavily barred.
The sixth side is a high wall.
According to popular belief. the bas-
ton cells are "stone sacks which, be-
ing below the level of the river, are liza
Bile to inundation, but this idea is
erroneous.
Before inspecting the cells, the cor
respondent visited the prison chancel-
Iery. out of which lead two doors.

that Germany intended to demand a

STOCKHOLM. Sept. 25.-Charles R.
Crane, of Chicago, has just arrived here
from Petrograd. IN the great white
receiving room of the American Lega-
ton this morning he responded to a
fusillade of questions from Swedish,
English, American, Russian and Greer
correspondents on the prospects in Rus
STA. He plainly showed that he was
unwilling to deceive either himself or
his listeners with the brand of pumped
up optimism chiefly characterizing the
observations Of most foreigners arriv-
ing from Russia.
81 am not going to try to be a clair
voyant." he said. because | have seen

questions as he likes about Russlas
future, and won't answer, because
things don't stay put
Ore Of his answers was given when
somebody asked. "Do you think the
Russian revolution is going to aHee'
Germany and encourage revolution
there" Mr.. Crane replied, 81 haven't
seen any aspect of the Russian revo-
luton that would persuade anybody to
90 into anything like IT. That Is the
efrect il has made on me. and, further
more. it is precisely the effect 1t mas
made on thousands of German war
prisoners in Russia. They point 10
il and saw, If that is what you mean
by revolution. then We don't want
any in Germany Those men will go
back home mere anti-revolutionary
than ever.
AS for the Austrian prisoners, they
adjust themselves more easily. Why,
thousands of them are at large, have
shared in some OF tine land distribu-
tions and are settling down and
marrying Russian women
When asked whether he thought the
Bolshcvikist influence would put itself
decisively against Kerensky, Mr.. Crane
replied: Maybe. But in Russia
things don't stay put. The indepen-
dent movements are more important
than some foreign observers seem to
think. I was down in Kiev. and more

Counsel Plead for
Soukhomlinof Pair

PETROGRAD, Sept. 25.-As the
trial OF General Soukhomlinof, the
former Minister of War, for high trea-
son. nears it3 close, public interest has
revived to an extraordinary extent.
The court to-day was crowded, in an
ticipation OF impassioned speeches by
the advocates.
A second member of counsel for the
defence. NJ. Tarkhovsky. devoted most
of his speech 10 Lieutenant Colonel
Miassoyedoff. alleged TO have been a
German spy, and repeated VI. Zach
arms denunciation of Alexander Ouch
kof, former chief OF the Munitions
Bureau.
He declared that SoukhomlinofF was
not responsible for the insutficiency Of
equipment for millions of soldiers. a
far greater number than it was expect
ed would be called to the colors. He
appealed TO the jury not TO make Sioux
homlinoff scapegoat for the offence
of then fallen regime.
VI. Torkhovsky's speech was applaud
ed. but far greater emotion was aroused
among the audience by the address Of
NJ. kazarinof. counsel for Nine. Sioux
homlinoff, charged with completely in
the plots of her husband. His impas-
stoned. pathetic and often pungent APP
peals stirred those present TO such
cheering that the Chief Justice sus-
pended the session.

but in a young and pretty woman do

"That is Protopopofr," said the Pro-
curer, closing the door.
From an examination of the prison
regulations and the statements made by
Assistant Governor Kurindin, the cor

treatment accorded the prisoners.
"All the eight prisoners, who former

a soldier, but the prisoners are al
lowed to purchase an officers ration,
which all of them do, except Protopo-
poff, who, declaring that he is the
cause of Russia's misfortunes, persists
in eating a private's fare. The pris-
oners' friends, who may visit them
twice weekly, are allowed to bring GER
tain authorized foods, among which
one may find caviar. The prisoners
are permitted TO smoke, but are al
lowed no alcohol.
Exercise in Courtyard
The prisoners exercise in the court
yard twice daily, with only their
guards for company. They never see
one another. The doctor visits each
cell daily, but in case of serious sick
ness the prisoners are sent to hospitals
outs ide.
While the roll wes under examina-
ton there occurred the most striking
incident of the visit. After putting his
head into one of the side rooms, the
procuror announced that the examina-
ton within the room had been finished.
Into the chancellery, with two SOL
diers behind him, walked, well dressed
but collarless, man Of middle height,
slight figure, small features and n
short, grayish beard, with eyes unnat-
urally bright and almost feverish, and
an expression of extraordinary refine
ment and dignity.
THAT" said the procuror, "is NJ.
Protop0pof."
The correspondent inquired regard
ing the treatment the former minister
was receiving.
81 have no complaints OF any kind"
answered NJ. Protopopof, and he con-
tinued:
Admits He Is Guilty
would any Of you Americans COM
plain if they knew they were desperate
criminals ?"
THAT" said the correspondent, "is
a strange remark in the presence OF the
procuror, whose duty it is TO pile up
evidence against you
The former minister's head again
was thrust quickly 10 one side as he
said, without a smile:
IL supply the evidence myself. | am
guilty of the most awful crime OF mo-
understanding the spirit of my age"
Repeating the words, spirit of my
age" and making again the delicate
gesture with his hands, Protopopoff,
followed by his soldier guards, went
out of the room
