WeIl-lntentioned but Weak

Well-lntentioned but Weak
 The usual explanation of these con- tradictions between his characteristics and his policies was that Nicholas was of benevolent disposition but weak in will, easily swayed by the reactionary forces of the Russian bureaucracy by which he was surrounded and which hampered and hindered the achieve ment of his own desires. Yet, under outside influence, he was capable of nerving himself to strong determina- tions and firm action, such, for ex- ample, as his initiation of the move ment to disarmament.
 The empress, it was said, once car featured him as bald-headed infant, tied to high chair, surrounded by a crowd of grand dukes and duchesses, each of whom tried to feed him in a different way, with the result that the infant was distracted and in tears. By some this was regarded as faithful portrayal of the emperor's position.
 His Early Training
 Nicholas, son and successor of En- peror Alexander III., was born in St. Petersburg, May IS, 1868; was edu- cated under the direction of Constan- tine Pobedonosseff, procurator general of the holy synod, and received mili- tary training but had no personal tastes for soldering. Before his ac- cession to the throne, he was sent on a tour of Greece. Egypt, India and Japan, where he narrowly escaped as- sassination by Japaneses fanatic. In that incident, it was said, the Rus sian heir apparent gave evidence of timidity.
 Great Tragedy Attends Coronation
 He succeeded to the throne on Nov- ember 1, 1894, at the death of his father, and within g few weeks there after married Princess Alexandra Alix, afterward known as Alexandra Feo- dorovna, daughter of the Grand Duke of Hesse, by whom he had four daughters, the Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Marie and Anatasia, and one son, the Grand Duke Alexis, heir ap- parent to the Russian crown up to the time of his fathers abdication. child of delicate constitution who Is re- ported to have died . few days ago. after . long Illness.

LIFE AND CHARACTERISTICS IF THE !
 MURDERED AUTOCRAT IF RUSSIA

Lofty ideals rarely attained, appar ent good intentions seldom translated into action, and enlightened and pro- gressive thought that found >expres sion more often in reaction and op presive acts than in reforms, made the character and career of Nicholas Romanoff, deposed Emperor of Rus sia, a strange commingling of con tradictions and constituencies.
 Although personally he seemed sin cere, simple, straightforward, peace loving, moderate and of benevolent intent, disliking hypocrisy and osten. ation, model husband and a tender father, yet it was often asserted that he ruled Russia in reactionary spirit was jealous of authority, aroused to action chiefly over trifles, that he was incapable of generosity or sym pathy for the oppressed, subject to morbid moods, during which he was capable of cruelty, was superstitious. vacillating and timid.
 Hague Peace Conference
 It was the same autocrat of all the Russias, who called the first great worlds peace conference at The Hague, proclaimed the principle of international disarmament and dis tributed 2O,OO0,000 acres of land among the Russian peasants, who also refused to limit tho autocratic power of the emperor when appealed to by repre- sentatives of the Russian people, who suppressed the nationality of the Poles and denied liberty to the Films. It was he who granted constitutional re- forms for Russia and then became a party to limitation of the constitu tional rights of the representatives of the people. Though he dealt hu' namely in some respects with the minor nationalities merged into Rus. sia, the Jews suffered under his rule great restriction. Withholding Russia from war with England and develop ing the Franco-Russian entente Into a formal alliance, he yet allowed Rus. sia to drift into war with Japan, and, when Russia drew her sword to halt the progress of German aggression failed to prosecute the war with en. ergy and is said to have preferred a German victory to liberal control of the Russian government.

olas' coronation at Moscow year and a half later, was attended by festi- val in which 2,00O persons were tram pied to death.
 The autocratic ruler of many mil lions of Russians was twenty-six years old when he succeeded to the throne. His lack of experience in the rough affairs of the world and the limi- tations of his early training in the secluded Russian court had failed to qualify him in any way to fill the role of an autocrat Instead of wield- ing tho ccepter with firm hand he succumbed at once to the stupefying influence of the bureaucratic forces which dictated Russian policies.
 How He Lost Peoples Respect
 He alienated the love and loyalty of the Russian people within a short time after his accession as emperor by rebuking delegation from the Russian zemstvos who gathered at the Winter Palace to greet the new sov- ereign and brought a memorial in which they suggested that the law be enforced with equal justice to all and hinted at an extension of constitu- tional rights to the people. Prompted by PobedOnostseff, or other bureau cratic mentors. the emperor denounced these suggestions as idiotic dreams From that time Nicholas was to a large extent under the control of his ministers. He had alienated the SUD- port of the Russian people which per Laps would have enabled him to as- sert himself in conflict with the bu- reaucrats and imperial relatives who thwarted him.
 Five years after his accession to the throne, Nicholas startled all Europe by calling, in 1899, the first peace conference at The Hague to discuss the principle of disarmament and ar bitration. Although it did not lead to the results bc anticipated, it yet forms, the basis for hopes of men through. out che world of erecting a structure ter. thc ssnscce of peace.
 . War with Japan
 bS soEe Nicholas was largely held responsible for the Russo,Japanese war on the ground that he permitted his favorites to develop the aggres- sive policy in Manchuria and Korea which aroused Japan to hostilities. He was accused of hindering prepar- ations for the war, of meddling with General Kuropatkin. his commander, but is credited with having by his eirm insistence saved Russia from pay Continued on Page Six)
