Washington, April 2s---'Anything

That IL the way official and diplo-
matte Washington talks today of the
reported restoration of the little
czarevitch to the imperial Russian
throne.
If such a coup d etat has been ac-
complished, it is thu belief OF state
department officials that 1t represents
an effort by the Germans to enforce
order in Russia. They further believe
that the effort will fail. From the
departments fund OF information
about Russia it is believed that the
people will never stand for a return
of the RomanofYs.
For weeks regular reports from
Am bassador Francis at Voiogda and
from Consuf-General Summers have
come to the department None have

terrevoiution. British, French and
Scandinavian diplomats. usually In

The Russian embassy itself was
without news--as, indeed 1t has been
ever since kerensky was overthrown.
But officials there refused to discuss
the counter revolution in any way.
They say that its occurrence Is not
yet certain.
Prominent Russians here. however.
have said in the past that the Rus

freedom, will never countenance a re-
