Russian Papers Here
Rejoice at Revolt
Ministerial Traitors Who Would
Betray Nation Fooled,
One Declares

Russian newspapers published IN
New York hailed the new order OIL
things with delight. "Novy Mir" (the
New World"), a daily, says in its edi-
torial:
Those who know Russia realize that
there are three forces in the unhappy
country--the Reactionaries, or those
close to the Gar; the combination OF
landlords, capitalists and ministers
who combine TO form the Liberals, and
third. the people. The Liberal Is want
ed and still want. TO establish a con-
stitutional monarchy; they want the
war to continue because, having. great
interests themselves, they find war
war profitable, and they want Constan-
tinople opened because port TO the
south would be of personal commercial
worth to them.
But it was the people, the workers
and the peasants, who fought hardest
against entering the war and who
wanted and still strive to establish
democratic republic. II was the peo-
pie who started the present revolution.
The Liberals, once the revolution had
been started, fell in with the revolu-
tionists.
1.-THE Russian people are opposed to
war and 70 militarism, but they be-
lieve that their own success as revo-
lutionists will mean revolution on the

in the Cuirassier Guards. The scandal
which this aroused forced the Car into
action. The grand duke was renewed
Of his command and sent TO comhlahu
a line regiment in the desolate strong
hold of Orel.
Another Love Affair
He didn't go. Instead he took HIM
self TO Moscow. and there eased his
aching heart with the affection OF one
Nine. Marmontof, twice divorced. IN
1910 he married her. The Holy SYNOD
of the Russian Church dec Jared the
union null and void, and the Grahd
Duke went to Orcl. =,
The Cars heart was sottened by
This tardv obedience. and he reinstated
his brother. sending him to England 10
attend King Edwards funeral as d
special mark of his renewed aHeGtloh.
The Grand Duke remained IN retro
Grad as commander OF the crack Horse
Guards Of the Empress until IVI9, Wheh
another morganatic marriage when ne
had contracted in 1911 with the divorced
Nine. Won Woulfert, came to llght, ana
he was banished again, an lmperlal
manifesto relieving him OF has poslli0h
as Regent-Designate. At that time ne
was also accused Of participation IN the
plot bv which the Czarevitch was mys-
teriously injured.
Grand Duke Michael returned TO
Russia late in August. 1914, and was
reported to have taken command IN
the army. Since then there have been
no reports of his whereabouts and ac-
tivities.

Gar Imprisoned
The Czarina for
German Intrigue
Emperor Banished Wife from
Court Because of Her Loyalty
to Hohenzollern Relatives

For more than year the Empress
Of Russia. because Of her relationship
with the House Of Hohenzollern, has
been suspected in Entente circles Oh
German intrigue in Petrograd. Last Au-
gust, when it was reported in Europe
that Russia and Germany had discussed
separate peace terms, the Empress was
suspected as the ringleader.
In September, according to reports in
Paris which reached New York last
night. Russian and French Secret Ser
vice agents from Paris went to Petro-
grad to investigate the reported asso-
citation of the Empress with German
plots" The reports which these men
are believed to have placed before the
Car caused him 20 order the Empress
10 be sent to a chateau near Petrograd,
where. so the Paris report states, she
has been a lone prisoner.
The Czarina. Alexandra Feoderovna,
before marriage was Princess AllX OF
Hesse and a granddaughter or queen
Victoria. Her close relations with the
monk Rasputin, who was said TO be IN
German pay, warrant the suspicious
that her sympathies were with the land
of her birth. These relations were so
intimate that Rasputin used the Gar
ina as a tool for his Vaccinations. The
Czarina firmly believed that her only
son Alexis. was cured by Rasputin
from an illness considered by some
leading physicians as incurable.
Since the reported discovery of the
association of the Empress with the
German separate peace plans she has
been living in the chateau, where all
ber mail has been censored, and where
she has been permitted to receive only
those guests who were under watch by
Russian government agents.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-03-16
Gar Nicholas Il Lived
In Fear Of Dark Forces
Grand Dukes Swayed Him by Threats, While Rasputlr
Ruled Through Religious Mysticism; Il ears Neigh
Filled with Bloodshed and Terrorism

bv the Fmneror scarcely had reached
the world when wave Of reaction set
in. All the promises given IN the mani
festo were little by little withdrawn
and the revolutionary movement
drowned in streams of blood. Thou
sands Of intellectuals were shot ana
hanged without trial and hundreds OF
thousands exiled and jailed IN Siberia
The suppression of all that was IN
telligent and liberty loving became the
policy OF the Cars government after
1905. Czarism has come TO be regarded
in the world as the darkest political
institution among the European ma
tions. Popular Imagination began to
ascribe 20 the Gar wlckedness ana
tyranny. In reality he was tool OF
mighty combination Of subterranean
forces that ran Russia.
The abdicatio1 Of the throne, there
are grounds to believe, will come TO the
Gar as a welcome event Although
abdication was forced upon him, he will
surely be glad to be relieved from the
difficult post of Russian Emperor. His
immense fortune will allow him to pass
his remaining days comfortably and in
safety.
The Gar and the Czarina were mar
ried on November 26, 1894. twenty-five
days after the Cars ascension TO the
throne. Car Nicholas II reigned for
twenty-five years and four and a half
months. To-day he is less than forty
nine years old.
The Car gradually became a figure
head in the Russian government. His
task was TO sign DEGREES and ukases
prepared by others without consulting
him. 1t was about this time that the
influence Of the monk Rasputin. which
was originally purely religious, turned

Car Nicholas II. who abdicated yes
terday. assembled the throne of RUSSIA
in 1894. It is no exaggeration to say
that his reign . has been the most
turbulent since the Romanoffs. three
hundred years ago, began to rule the
Slavic Empire. During the last fifteen
years Of his rule Russia was the scene
of unparalleled internal strife. 20
eroms. massacres and assassinations
make Russia's history in the present
century record of blood and SUI
fering.
Nicholas II is described by those who
know him as weakling. Surrounded
by dark and pernicious influences, ne
was easily swayed from one view to
another. Il is a well known fact that
when certain individuals in the court
wished to have things done, they re-
sorted TO threats. It was enough, for
instance. for a grand duke TO stamp
the ground angrily and menacingly in
order to win his point.
There was time when Nicholas ii
did possess some initiative. That was
early in his reign. The Russian people
and the entire world expected him at
that time 70 grant liberties and re-
forms TO his nation. He r1ade an at

arv movement seized the nation. Cen
eral strikes and uprisings in the vari-
Gus sections Of the country compelled
the Car TO issue his now famous Octo-
Der manifesto. This document granted
Russia constitutional form of gov
eminent.

Fire Drill Saves Girls
Lesson Taught by Triangle
Helps 1,500 Escape

The lesson learned from the Triangle
Shirtwaist Company fire bore fruit
yesterday. when 1900 girls marched
to safety as flames shot up the elevator
shaft of sixteen story loft building
al 693-697 Broadway and set fire to the
deck house on the roof The building
is only two blocks from where the Tri-
angle fire occurred, and after that
catastrophe, William Renahan, chief
engineer of the building, devised sys-
tenn of fire drills.
The last fifteen girls to leave be-
came panicstricken, however, when the
elevator caught fire from the adjoining
shaft. but we're dragged from the
smoke filed car uninjured.
