PROF. STERNBERG ON THE
BOL SAEVIKI.

Prof w. M. Sternberg of the Univer-

Russia, lectured before the Minneapolis
B'nai Birth on Tuesday evening, on
''The Bolsheviki The lecture, which
was very instructive, traced the Revolu-
ton from it's beginnings, and analysed
the methods, motives and shortcomings
of the Bolsheviki. The first-hand infor-
nation presented by Prof. Sternberg
proved very interesting and called forth
an Illuminating discussion. Among those
who took part was Mr.. Robert Kolliner
who saw in the plight of the Bolsheviki
warning of what misguided liberalism
in this country might lead to.

NICHOLAS RoMANoFF.

Lofty ideals rarely attained, ap-
parent good intentions seldom tran
slated3inio action, and enlightened and
progressive thought that found ex-
preston more often in reaction and
oppressive acts than in reforms, made
the character and career of Nicholas
RomanoM, deposed Emperor of Russia,
strange commingling Of contradic-
tons and inconsistencies
SINCERE, simple, straight forward,
peace toying, moderate and of bene-
VIOLENT intent, disliking hypocrisy or
ostehtation, a model husband and a
tender father, yet it was often as
serted that he ruled Russia in a re-
dictionary spirit, was jealous of
authority, aroused to action chiefly
over trifies, that he was incapable of
generosity or sympathy for the OPP
pressed, subject to morbid moods dur
ing which he was capable OF cruelty,
was superstitious, vacillating and
timid
IL was the same Autocrat of all the
Russians, who called the first great
worlds Peace Conference at The
Hague, proclaimed the principle of
International disarmament and distr-
buted 20,OOO,0O0 acres of land among
the Russian peasants who also refused
to limit the autocratic power of the
Emperor when appealed to by repre-
sentives of the Russian people, who
suppressed the nationality of the
Poles and denied liberty to the Films
1t was lie who granted constitutional
reforms for Russia and then became
a party to limitation of the eonstitu-
tional rights of the representatives, of
the people. Though he delt humanely
in some respects with the minor ma
tionalities merged into Russia, the
Jews suffered under his rule great
restriction. Withholding Russia from
war with England and developing the
France-Russian Entente into a form
al alliance, he yet allowed Russia 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 energy and
is said to have preferred a German
victory to liberal control of the Rus
sian government.
The usual explanation of these con-
traditions between his Characters
tics and his policies was that Nichola
was Of benevolent disposition but
weak in will. easily swayed by the
reactionary forces of the Russian
bureaucracy by which he was sur
rounded and which hampered and
hindered the achievement of mis- own
desires. Yet. under outside influence,
he was capable of nerving himself TO

the movement to disarmament.
The Empress. it was said, once carl
catured him aa balQ-headed infant, tied

to a high chair, surrounded by 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 POI
trayal Of the Emperor's position.
Nicholas, son and successor OF EN-
peror Alexander Ill, was born in st.
Petersburg May 49,. 1868, was educat-
ed under the direction Of Constantine
Pobedonostseff, procurator general OF
the Holly Synod and received military
training but had no personal taste for
soldering. Before his accession to the
throne. he was sent on tour OF Greece
Egypt. India and Japan, where he mar
rowly escaped assassination by ia
panese fanatic. In that incident, IL
was said, the Russian heir-apparent
gave evidence Of timidity.
He succeeded to the throne On Nov
ember |, 1894, at the death of nj
father and within few weeks there
after married Princess Alexander
Alix, afterward known as Alexandra
Feodorovna, daughter of the Grand
Duke of Hesse, by whom he had fol
daughters, the Grand Duchesses olga,
Tatiana. Marie and Anastasia, and one
son. the Grand Duke Alexis, heir APP
parent to the Russian throne up to tho
time of his fathers abdication. EN-
peror Nicholas coronation at Moscow
a year and half later was attended
by festival in which 1000 persons
were trampled to reath.
The autocartic 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
of his early training in the
secluded Russian court had failed to
qualify him in any way to fill the role
Of an autocrate. Instead of welding
the sceptre with firm hand he sue
cumbed at cnce to the Supplying in
fluenoes of the bureaucratic forces
which dictated Russian policies.
Although the influences leading to
the revolution of March, 1917, which
forced his abdication, were various
and some of them obscure, it was
evident that the leaders of Russian
liberal thought blamed the Emperor
for failure to prosecute the war sue
cessfulIy, for continuing the rule of
the bureaucrats and for the growth
Of q pro-German influence at.the Rus

Russia's war strength. There was

the Russian lines be opened to let the
Germans pass through and IDEAL with
the Canaille in Petrograd", declaring
that he was no traitor. He expressed
the hope that he might be permitted
to live at his palace at Liyadia, in the
Crimea, where he loved to stroll with
the Empress among the flowers and
woods. Instead he was taken pri-
soner to the Petrogard palace where
the other members of the former i'm
perial family had gathered to share
his Imprisonment. At first the former
Emperor was not closely confined but

was allowed to walk in the garden
twice day under a guard of soldiers.
His chief occupation in the first weeks
of his Imprisonment was in shovellng
snow on the garden walks. He seemed
to be in good health displayed intrest
in what the foreign newspapers print
ed about him but said to have periods
of crying.
His state as prisoner must have
been in painful contrast with that
which he enjoyed as Russian autocrat
His private wealth had been estimated
at $2,OOO,OOO, 1900, but it was confessed

neglect of precaution and organization.
Some of these were attributed by the
liberal leader to dark forces" at the
court.
One OF these for which the Emperor
was held personally responsible was
the mysterious power exercised by
Gregory Rasputin, the mystic monk
who had obtained great asendency
over both Emperor's and Empress
One explanation was that Rasputin
had fostered the Emperor's mind by
deception the belief that the health
of his only son, the Grand Duke Alexis,
depended upon Rasputin's good offices
and presence at the court Protests
against the monks power and pres
ence and against the mysticism and
superstition that enveloped the Rus
sian throne were suppressed The re-
sentiment eliminated in the murder of
Rasputin and was famed to renewed
death, including burial in a chapel on
the grounds of the Emperors palace
at Petrograd
The government had ordered the
dissolution of the Council of the En-
pire and the Duma. The hungry peo-
pie were incensed by lack of food
supplies and held the government
responsible for their sufferings. The
Duma rejected the Imperial ukase Of
and organized an Executive Com
mittee. 1t was believed to represent
the demand of the people that the
war should be prosecuted with greater
vigor and efficiency. The troops in
Petrograd sustained the Duma and
within three days from its inception
the revolution was accomplished, the
government overthrown and Nicholas
forced to abdicate.
The Emperor was then at the Rus
sian army headquarters. He ATTEMPTED
to transfer the throne to his brother,
the Grand Duke Micheal, but he, i'll
turn, abdicated and the Romanoff dy-
nasty which had ruled the destinieS
of the Russian empire for more than
800 years was brought to an end. AT
the orded of the Executive Committee
of the Duma, Nicholas, who had signed
his abdication at midnight March Is,
was arrested and taken to Tsarskoe-
Selo Palace, which was to be his pri-
son, and was placed under guard. He
delivered farewell address to his
soldiers who listened unresponsively
and, at Its conclusions sang the Mar
seillaise.
Nicholas seemed to be stunned by
the suddenness of the blow and made
no attempt to resist. He rejected the
suggestion of one of his generals that

that no accurate idea of it's vastness
was obtainable. His income believed
to exceed $5O,OQO,OOO year. His per-
sonal expenses were placed at $50 a
day, but the expense of maintaining
the royal state were almost incredible.
When Emperor he was classed as
the most wealthy man in the world
He owned several of the worlds most
beautiful palaces and possessed a
great fortune in diamonds, pearls and
other jewels and precious stones. He
owned. it was said, more than mil
lion square miles of cultivated land
