How the Russian crown jewels were
smuggied out of the empire and saved
to the house Of Romanof from the pill
lage and ~confiscation OF the revolution
Is a romantic story told in Chicago by
q Russian Of noble blood who escaped
from his native country by way OF
Vladivostok and recently arrived In
the United States.
The imperial jewels are among the
worlds largest collections. In dia-
monds and pearls alone they are
worth many millions of dollars. Dia-
monds and pearls are now regarded
as among the safest Team Of conserv-
ing money. The war has more than
doubled their value and jewelers. de-
clare their price will increase for sew
eral years after the war. So when
the revolution began to rock the Rus
sian throne, the czarina's first thought
was to save the crown jewels to In
sure her family against the threat
ened period of misfortune.
Removed In Secret.
She summoned the crown jeweler
secretly by night to the palace OF
Tzarkoe-Selo. There under her per-
sonal supervision he removed all the
gems from their settings and replaced
them with paste limitations. Then en-
ploying one Of her near relatives as
an emissary, she struggled the collec-
ton out Of Petrograd on a naval yes.
sci. Through Sweden and Denmark
the special messenger finally made his
way into Germany and delivered the
Jewels to the czarina's paternal kins-
men In Hesse-D armstadt. There the
gems now repose In safety In the treas
ury Of the principally.
For a long time no one In Russia
not In the secret knew the gems had
been removed. The imperial collec-
ton ostensibly continued to be kept
ON public display under military
guard In Txarkoe-Selo palace. Thou
sands viewed 1t and no q suspected
that the resplendent ornaments were
mere worthless limitations.
Some Notable Gems.
Among the salvaged jewels were the
famous black pearl Of Catherine II
and the historic Orloff diamond weigh
ing 194% carats. The Orloff was stol-
en- originally by a soldier from the eye
of a statue Of Buddha In a Hindu tenn
Pile. It was bought by Prince Orloff.
n of the favorites Of Catherine II
for half d million dollars and present
ed to the empress. The Orlof and the
Kohinoor. which blazes in the crown OF
England, are thought to be parts of the
Great Mogul. a magnificent Indian dia-
mond which disappeared mysteriously
in the seventeenth century.
Car Nicholas is dead, but If the
czarina has not shared his fate, as
has been reported. she may yet re-
claim the imperial jewels and with
them re-establish the fortunes OF her
family.

Capt. Persius Admits
British Still Rule Sea

AMSTERDAM, June 2.-Captain Per-
sius, German naval critic, writing in
the "Berliner Tageblatt" on the ami
versary of the Battle of Jutland, points
out that the expectations regarding the
results Of the battle which were enter
tanned in, some quarters in Germany
have not been fulfilled. He cites vari-
GUS German press utterances about
British naval domination having been
completely shaken, and says that the
now that it was wrong to put such
thoughts on paper.
"The success Of the German feet at
Jutland," he continues, "was not able
to bring about any change in the situa-
ton in the theatres of the war. The
German mercantile flag is still ban
ished from the sea.
To-day it is opportune again to
realize how seriously Great Britain is
to be taken as an enemy. She has
ndver yet lost foreign war. She has
triumphed at the end of every cam
paign. She now sacrifices her blood in
streams. Words such as the British
realize that if they experience second
Skagerrack it will be all up with their
naval domination are worthless in
these bitterly hard times.
"They will indeed be heard with dis
pleasure and indignation by our naval
men, for many of these have already
learned by experience that the British
are brave and strong opponents, and
they know that the utmost exertion of
strength is needed to beat them off
should it come to another encounter"

u. S. Polish Legion
To Join Ranks of
Allies Tomorrow

WASHINGTON. June 2. = Word
reached here to-day from France that
the Polish Legion Of $4,000 men re-
cruited in the United States, together
with some two thousand Poles drawn
from South America, will take it's place
with the Allied armies next Tuesday.
The Poles will carry their own maroon
flag, with its silver eagle, and some of
the companies from the United States
will display the Stars and Stripes as
we'll.
These men were recruited largely in
New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio,
Wisconsin and New England. They are
all outside of the draft ages or in
eligible as enemy aliens for service in
the American army. They are paid
only five cents day each, with small
allowances for dependents.
Recruiting, which is directed by a
committee in this country, headed by
Ignace Paderewski, the pianist, still is
going ahead, both to keep the legion up
to strength and to enlarge it. New men
are trained before going across in a
camp at Niagara-on-the-La Canada.
