She was thus able to keep the bird

SAVED HER Jewels
Former Russian czarina Sent
Gems to Germany.
Treasure Estimated to Be Worth $780,.
100000 Kept Out Of Hands Of the
Revolutionists.

The Russian royal jewels, including
the gems that incrusted the imperial
Romanoff crown, are safe from the
democratic hands Of the new rulers in
Petrograd. With a woman's intuitive
knowledge Of trouble ahead. the for
mer czarina had them tucked away in
a safe deposit vault in her ancestral
city of Darmstadt, Germany. right at
the beginning of the war.
And there they will remain until Mr..
and Mrs. Romanoff claim them again,
says the New York Tribune.
The story of the Russian royal jew
els Is told In the Chronicle by writer
who says that the former czarina
was largely responsible for the war, in
that she assured her German friends
and relatives that Russia would not be
a formidable antagonist. She proceed
ed to prove this antebellum prediction
by pro-German intrigue which ended
with the revolution and the overthrow
Of the Romanoff dynasty.
But the former cZarina, who, before
her marriage was Princess Alexandra
Alice OF Hessc, had no illusions about
Germany. Accordingly, she packed up
the family jewels in the summer Of
1914, when she saw the international
war clouds appear, and sent them in
charge Of trusted messengers to her
brother. the grand duke Of Hesse. for
safe keeping till peace was restored
The royal cmiSSarieS Travelled by the
way Of Finland and Sweden. They
reached their destination before the
mobilization of the Russian army was
complete.
The tale of the czarina's German
forchandedness in the matter of saving
the family gems is said to have been
revealed by members Of the Russian
commission, who visited New York
city recently.
A New York society woman had her
eye peeled for bargains in royal jew
elry and approached members of the
commission on the subject of purchaS-
Ing a string Of rare pearls which she
had seen the former czurina wear at
q fashionable European resort some
years ago. She was told that she would
have to talk to Mrs. RomanOff or her
