Stockholm, March Grand
Duke Michael Alexsndrovitch,
brother of former Gar Nicholas,
is under arrest at the Smolny In
stitute on charges in connection
with a plot to surrender Petrogrsd
to the Germans, have the latter
restore the monarchy and make
Michael emperor. Numerous other
arrests were made as a result Of
the discovery Of the alleged plot.
1t was Grand Duke Michael in
whose favor Nicholas II abdicated.
Michael refused to accept the
crown except on the condition that
he should be chosen by the Rus
sian people. His reputation is
that Of an aristocrat, with strong
democratic tendencies.
Had Worried NIehsIss-
DuIlng his brothers reign he fre
q3ently warned Nicholas that the
latter was being deceived BY his
ministers and that revolt was insvi-
table unless the people were grant
ed freedom. Since his rejection OF
the crown his name has been re-
peatedly linked with movements for
the restoration OF the monarchy.
Last September both he and his wife
were arrested in connection with .
conspiracy OF that kind. but both
were later released He is So years

Amsterdam, March 9.-Leon TrotIky
has fallen a victim, IL Is believed In
many circles, OF the German govern
ment's revenge. His resignation as
Bolshevik foreign minister was an
nounced by himself in a speech before
the central soviet at Petrogrsd. With
him disappears from the controlling
councils OF Great Russia the arch foe
OF aUtocracy.
Nicolai Lenine. who would still be
in his Swiss exile had il not been for
Berlin's permission and assistance 10
pass through Germany, remains pre-
mier.
German Demand.
Trotzky's resignation is sscribed
in Petrograd dispatches to a split be-
tween him and Lenine over the peace
issue. Those here who have been Tor
months in the closest touch with the
Russian situation believe the German
government insisted on his elimIns-
ton from the councils OF Smolny In
stitute.
In one quarter the theory is ad-
vanced that Trotzky deliberately sac
rificed himself for his principles. II
was Lehine who swung the Petrogrsd
and Moscow Soviets around TO their
overwhelming peace votes against
Trotzky's fervent protests. It is now
Lenine who is bending might and
main to have the all Russian Soviets'
executive council raufy the peace
treaty at Moscow Tuesday aesin over
Trotzky's head.
Berlin Predicted ReSIERatIOn.
SlEnnCanI IN COnneCllou Win the
belief that Trotzky's resignation was
demanded by Berlin is the fact that
the event was foreshadowed a week
ago in semioficisl advices from the
German capital. Krylenko, another
uncompromising enemy of the Ger
mans, also had to 90. and hts resig-
nation, too. was exclusively pre-
dicted' by Berlin.
Conclusion Of peace between the
Bolsheviki and Rumania was an
nounced in Petrograd today. At the
same time it was stated that RumsniS
has broken OF her peace parleys
! with the central powers, whose terms
she finally rejected after consentinE
to the preliminary peace treaty pub
lished two days ago.

VATERLAND IGNORES
MENACE OF U-BOATS
Former German Liner Makes Eleven
day Round Trip.

LONDON March 9.-The Pail Mall
Gazette says the Vaterland has made
a round trip between New York and
France in eleven days.
The Vaterland is the former Ham
burgh-American liner. the largest i'm
the world. which was tied up at New
York when the war began in 1914 and
was taken over by the United States
when she entered the war. She has
since been in the transport service
under the name Of the Leviathan, She
Is of d,2S2 tons and her transatlantic
voyages in 1914 were made in five to
six days Crossing the ocean then,
however, was an altogether different
proposition from today, and that a
ship OF the size of the VaterIand has
succeeded in achieving her normal
record despite mine and submarine is
a remarkable performance.

HUN MAY BAR
NEUTRALSOUT
OF NORTH SEA
Gives Notice Of Danger
Zone; Scandinavian Coun-
tries All Concerned.

Germany has threatened to close
the whole North Sea against the
northern neutrals. Hints of Ger
man displeasure over the signature
by Norway. Sweden and Holland OF
rationing agreements with the United
States and the allies have already
been made known here. Yesterdays
move, coming in an oficial diplo-
matte dispatch. marks the first men
aeing thrust Of the Kaisers sword
against his former friends. Typi-
cally it is the submarine weapon
with which he threatens. The dis
patch is as follows:
Kaiser Accuses British.
Referring to the proclamation
made by the British government
heretofore that the whole of the
North Sea is a danger zone, the Ger
man government has informed the
Swedish government of the dangers
which threaten neutral navigation
in said waters in consequence of
German retaliation"
The use Of the word retaliation
is considered obviously a pretext.
England, it is stated at the British
Embassy, has never declared the
North Sea a danger zone. Traffic
has been free between England and
all the neutral nations through this
area, except as it has been hin
dered by the torpedoing of neutral
vessels by German submarines and
the raiding Of neutral fleets by Ger
man destroyers. Certain small areas
have been closed to all trafic as
fields of naval operation or mine
laying.
Germany's threat, which would af-
feet Norway, Holland and Denmark
as well as Swedens is interpreted as
growing from her satisfaction at the
ease with which her arms have pre-
vailed in Russia.
Follows Victory in Russia.
1t follows naturally, in the opinion
Of Scandinavian diplomats, her move
ments in Finland Assumption of
control Of the Aland Islands was
in direct violation of Swedish wishes,
Norway has already been apprised
of German displeasure, and Dem
mark has been threatened so that
her negotiations have been longer
delayed than those OF the other neu-
trails.
Scandinavian opinion here tonight
is that Germany will never be able
enectually to carry out her threat.
