Why Capitals Name Was Changed.
With the growth of anti-German
feeling in Russia early in the war
there was developed a dislike for the
name ST. Petersburg, which was of
German origin and termination. The
czar, in opening the duma, said: "The
German empire and later Austria-Hun-
gary have declared war on Russia.
The tremendous outburst of patriotic
sentiment, of love and loyalty to the
throne-whlch, like a tempest, trav-
ersed our entire land-is to me, as It
is to you. pledge. 1 hope that the
great Russia will conduct to happy
conclusion the war which the Lord
has sent" One of the first things the
duma did was TO change the German
sounding name st. Petersburg to the
Slavic word Petrograd.
