Paris, Oct. "a.
The most engrossing subject of con-
lecture throughout Europe to-day is
what form Of government the Russian
people will accept when the Bolshevist
bubble bursts and individual interests
and -Bolshevist groups begin a
new struggle for supremacy. Com
mandant Detchegoyan. one of the
keenest of French military writer's,
now at Sebastopol with Gen. Baron
Wrangel, expresses the opinion in the
Matt1, that the restoration of Carbon
would not be badly received by the
greater portion Of the Russian people.
He names the Grand Duke Michael,
the Cars brother, who refused the
throne when Nicholas abdicated. as the
likeliest chief Of the new dynasty.
Gen Baron Wrangel Is unmonarch-
istic, but is surrounded by former Off
GERS of the Cars army who are known
to favor the restoration and who are
spreading the gospel through the areas
conquered from the Bolsheviki. More
over, the Russian clergy sees the hope
OF regaining It's former prestige and Is
losing no time In taking advantage OF
Czarist propaganda, appealing to the
population at all religious festivals to
scourge their hearts and admit their
guilt In overthrowing their Little
Father and urging them to establish
once more temporal chief OF the Rus
sian Church.
The propaganda is developed along
psychological lines, Detchegoyan shows.
Rumors of the intention of the Grand
Duke to be present at big church fesri-
walls invariably precede the event. The
public. aroused 20 a state of enthusiasm,
decorates the buildings with Czarist col
ors and passes tile word everywhere that
the restoration is to be effected and
Russia rescued from the grip OF the
Bolshevist assassins.
The fact Is that only a few know
that the Grand Duke Michael was not
slain but is remaining In seclusion
awaiting the opportunity to assert his
claim to the Russian Empire, a task
which IS undeniably rendered easier by
capturing the imagination of the Rus
sian peasants. Gen. Wrangel is even
likely to support the restoration il the
monarchy is established along consti-
tutlonal lines as expressing the peoples
will.
Other dispatches from Russia to-day
indicate that the Bolshevist financial
deficit for the current year exceeds
s66, 900, 600, 900. n condition which, con-
sidering the fact that gold is being
shipped from the country as fast as
Lenine and Trotzlsy cSn complete the
arrangements, can only hasten the
downfall of the Red regime.
In this connection THE New YORK
HERALD correspondent is informed that
Ambassador Wallace recently con-
ferred with well informed arrivals from
Russia, who considered n crash immi-
nent, but believed the period of transit
ton following the Bolshevist dispersal
would provide scenes of terror UNI
eQualled in Russa's history, as the peo-
pie are rapidly reaching a state where
they have no confidence in authority Of
any kind.
