steps to divorce her husband. Frederick
William. according to a statement given
to Swiss newspapers by the former
Grand Duchess Anastasia Of Mecklen-

Crown Princess. The statement says
that II has long been the desire of Cecile
to divorce her husband. but that the
pressure of the HoheAzollern family UP

The statement OF the Grand Duchess
charges Frederick William with cruelty
to his wife. saying:
"On one occasion some time ago the
situation became SO unbearable that my
daughter actually fed. from her home.
She almost succeeded In reaching Swift
zerland. Orders were sent from Berlin
to intercept her, and she was captured at
the German frontier like common GRIM
inal and taken to Berlin under arrest.
MY daughter will be able to place
before the German court overwhelming
evidence against her husband and will
be able TO prove many instances of the
grossest cruelty against him. His inn
delities were numerous and there ID
abundant proof of them. His brutality
was atrocious. On more than one COCA

OMsK. April 16.-Numerous wealthy
Teutonic merchants and colonists Of west
ern Siberia who effaced themselves dur
Ing the war have been emboldened by tho
waning popularity of the Allies and have
begun energetic propaganda, mainly
anti British. The German bluster over
the peace terms affords further stim-
illus for Teutonic intrigue.
The necessity of closer touch by tho
Allies with OmRk never was clearer.
The continued residence Of the allied
and associated representatives in vladi-
vostok is obviously unsatisfactory. The
views obtained there do not represent
the country. AS a temporary corrective

Russian Government.

Of the railway guard to a seven mile
zone has been adopted by the Czechs,
who arc responsible for the line west
OF Irkutsk. As a consequence Bolshe-
visit bands are able to continue opera

Czechs lost ten killed and thirty

Fruit Damage at New Plymouth

Fruit Damage at New Plymouth.
We hear the regular pessimistic
howl each spring about the fruit being
all destroyed, and so we took Tuesday
forenoon of this week off and visited
about a score of orchards, for the sole
purpose of satisfying ourselves as to
the actual ravishes of the frost this
spring. We must confess it makes US
shiver, to report what we really found,
but shall endeavor to publish the facts
and let the readers draw their own
conclusions We believe the prune
crop is practically cleaned up. The
Kramp and Lynch orchard seems to
be badly smitten, the Eastman orchard
seems hopeless, but the few trees
along the highway belonging to Geo.
Shook appeared to be but little harmed
This leads US to the conclusion that the
frost has been very spotted in its work
We doubt if the apple crop is seriously
damaged. In the Brauner apple or
chard there is one tree of Bellefleur
apples and every blossom is cooked
black Surrounding it on all sides are
Rome Beauty and Jonathan apples and
apparently they are unframed. The
Humphrey orchard joining this tract
seems to be badly hurt, but the Nc
Bride apple orchard looks to be un-
scathed, and this seems also true of
the Kramp and Johnson orchard in
proximity thereto. At Payette we are
informed the frost has done much
more damage than here. The Jacob
sen prune orchard is all gone, and
Prof Albert informs US this is true of
most of the prune orchards in that To-
cality. The apples there are also bad
ly hurt. 1t will be month before we
can tell definitely what fruit is left,
but we predict this section will have
some peaches, pears, apricots and
cherries; about a 25 per cent crop of
