NICHOLAS ROBIANOFF fromer car of Russia and head
N Of the church. ruler OF half Of Europe and much Of
Asia is officially. The Russian wireless (officiaD out
Of Moscow his execution His actual death prob
ably occurred some time before the Boshevik government
saw fit It officially. The official announce
men however, may be regarded as complete continuation
Of the fact that could interested IN establishing
the authenticity Of the former cars demise than the Iennes
and Trotys whose tenure Of authority the existence OF
Nicholas continually menaced
Things in Russia mixed up most cuTieusly Lenine
and Trozy have been charged with being IN German pay
with having at German direction engineered events lead
ing up the signature Of the infamous BTestLtovs peace
treaty BY which Germany given outright large part
Of Russia and mortgage on the rest Maybe So lndlca-
tons lend color Of truth to that assertion
But Lenine and Tretzky hated the and probably
sought of getting him under the sod They sue
oeedsd apparently the Russian official statement IS
correct Nicholas shot dead, without trial without
chance defend himself and his soul has gone to Join the
shades Of other tyTants.
Now, If LeHine and Irotzly brought about the killing
Of Nicholas they amuck in their capacity as German
agents Emperor William Of Germany would never have
asssnted the execution Of Nicholas True Russia, under
the reign Of Nicholas had been fighting Germany but one
searches vain the documents emanatng from Germany
to find any charge direct implied that the car had any
thing do with the against Germany Subordnaes
sTe blamed vitupeTatively; Nicholas, never
wilhelm II of Germany loved Nicholas Of Russia, if his
dwaed and perverted soul was ever capable OF tnat emo

Quite apart from that fact Wilhelm AID Nicholas were

royal family Nicholas far away for the German
agents aid. he kept for time in Tobolsk, Siberia

popuous nation in the world His Ord law All the
