MYSTERY HANGS
ABOUT FATE OF
THE ROMANOFFS
Reports From Petrograd Con-
flict as to What Situation
Really Is
Rr .As,ncintrd Prn..


somewhat conflicting advices are
coming out of Russia regarding the
fate of the Romanoff dynasty.
Dispatches this morning announced
that Grand Duke Michael had accept
ed the throne from his brother, Mich
olas III, subject to the consent of the
Russian people expressed through a
plebiscite.
Last nights advices reported the
abdicatlon of Nicholas II in favor of
Grand Duke Michael and the subse-
quent abdication of Michael, thus
bringing the Romanoff dynasty at an
end.
OF the abdication of Emperor Mich
olas there can now be no possible
doubt as the text of his manifesto
announcing it has been received from
Petrograd. What has occurred in the
case of Grand Duke Michael, how
ever, is still far from clear.
The stirring news from Russia has
detached attention largely from the
military operations of the belligerent
powers. Nevertheless these are almost
daily assuming greater scope and i'm
portance.

Advantageous Location in Agri-

Harrisburg, located as it is in the

railroad strike as many other less ad-
vantageously-s situated towns.
The city, it is believed. would prove
self-sustainisg as far as staple food
products are concerned. In case of a

be freighted overland from the upper
Dauphin county mines to keep many
of the mills and Industrial plants run

virtually prohibitive.
