 Nicholas was awakened at 5 o'clock In the morning on the day of his exc cution by patrol of one noncommis, stoned officer and six men. He was taken to a room where the decision: of the Soviet government was reaG to him. He was informed the execu- ton would be carried out in two hours
 The former emperor, it is said, re- ceived the announcement of the sen tence of death with great calmness. He returned to his bedroom and col, lapsed in a chair. After few min utes he asked for a priest, with whom he was allowed to remain un attend ed. Subsequently, he wrote severa letters. When the escort arrived tc take him to the place of execution Nicholas attempted to arise from hi chair, but was not able. The pries. and a soldier were obligel to help hin to get to his feet. The condemned man descended the stairs with diffi- culty and once he fell down.

NO JAP-GERMAN ALLIANCE
Premier Terauchi Considers ToIxio's
Interest at Stake i'm War
Faithful TO Allies

London, June 1.-There is little
resent possibility of an alliance be-
tween Germany and Japan. Premier
Count Terauchi told the Toxic CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail in an in
terview recently
Il feel very earnestly that under
the present circumstances such a con-
tngency as Germa alli-
ance is impossible" the japanese pre-
mier told his interviewer who had
preached the subject of such an alli-
ance.
At the same time the premier en-
phasized his belief that Japan's rela-
ton with the Entene would continue
unaltered. He asked to be excused
from discussing intervention in
Siberia.
"Japan's future is just as dependent
upon the victory of the Entente as is
Great Britains future" he continued.
Japan has striven to do her duty by
her allies in such directions as
guarding the Indian and Pacific
oceans and sending Warships to the
Mediterranean.
I'VE are convinced that our future
depends upon the outcome of this war
and we realize that if the German
power in the Far East cannot be
broken Japan's future will be serious
ly menaced.
