GERMAN RULER FOR RUSSIA
James Kelley Makes Report on His
Observation In Land Of
Former Gar.

James Keeley. former owner Of the
Chicago Herald, returning recently
from Europe, where he has been in
vestigatlng conditions Under the aus
rlces OF the Committee on Public In
formation, declared that the starva
tion, misery and disorganization in
Russia would lead Germany soon to
attempt the installation OF q German
picked monarch in that country.
He had been informed that the Kai-
ser had already selected his candi
date. and, with the aid Of the Russian
church parties, which have been COM
pletely antagonized by the Bolsheviki,
would find no difficulty In putting the
plan into execution.
Keeley predicted, however, that no
German-made Gar would be able to
relieve the sufferings Of hunger that
are In store for the Russian people
during the coming winter, and that by
next spring the whole peasantry would
turn willingly to the Allies for release
from German rule, provided Siberia
were under the control of the Allied
army and revealed a condition Of or.
