Likely to Result

ID USSlA is to-day neither repuoIie

ton is not unlike the one which fol-
lowed the French Revolution. A Com
mittee of Safety. constituted from the

The next development of the Rus
sian revolution is likely TO be an order
for a general election. the people to
vote for deputies to national assem-
bly,. This assembly would determine
the future form OF the Russian gov
ernment. 1t would also elaborate a
new constitution and code OF laws.
The national assembly is sure TO be
a very radical body. That means that
it would Overwhelmingly favor re-
publican form of government. Inc
odds are. therefore, much in favor OF
the probability Of Russia being re-
public.
Should the question Of the form OF
government be put up to the people di-
rectly for decision. however. the re-
suits might be quite different, for the
Russian peasantry still retains IT'S
deeply rooted reverence for the Little
Father" A majority for a ccnstltu-

to result.
This, however. is scarcely possible

Text of Manifesto
Yielding Throne

The following is the text Of th
manifesto of abdication:
We. Nicholas III, by the grace
Of God, Emperor Of all the Rus
sias, Car of Poland, and Grand
Duke Of Finland, etc, make
known to all our faithful SUBJ
jects: In the day of a great
struggle against a foreign foe,
WI, has been striving for three
years 70 enslave our country,
God has wished TO send to Rus
sia a new and painful trial. In
terror troubles threaten to have
a fatal repercussion on the final
outcome OF the war. The des-
tinies Of Russia, the honor Of
our heroic army, the happiness
OF the people and all the future
Of our dear Fatherland require
that the war be prosecuted, at
all cost, to victorious end. The
cruel enemy is making his last
effort, and the moment is near
when our valiant army. in con-
cert with those nj our glorious
allies, win definitely chastise
the foe.
In these decisive days in the
life of Russia we believe our
people should have the closest
union and organization Of all
their forces for the realization
Of speedy victory. For this rea-
son. in accord with the Duma OF
the Empire, we have considered
il desirable to abdicate the
throne OF Russia and lay aside
our supreme power. Not wish
ing TO be separated from our
loved son, we leave our heritage
10 our brother, the Grand Duke
Michael Alexandrovitch, bless
