NICK'S HARD FATE.
One Romanoff to Whom Country
Has Been UngratefuI.
Story Of Great Russian Military Com
mander Most Amazing Romance
of the War-His Splendid GEN
eraIship Is Recalled.

From March, 1917, till October, 1918,
Grand Duke Nicholas Romanoff, for
mer commander In chief of the Rus
sian armies and one of the most bril-
liant generals of the great war, was
prisoner In the town of Yalta In the
Crimea. He is now In Milan with his
family, humbly housed. The story of
Big Nick" is one of the most amaz-
Ing romances Of the war, the Pitts
burgh Gazette-Times states.
When the bolsheviki gained control
of Russia Nicholas was residing at
Tiflis. where he had been governor un-
der the car and under the Lvoff
regime. He was summoned to Yalta
by the bolshevik authorities and obeyed
the summons. His brother, his wife,
his sister-in-law and other members Of
his family and his suite were impris-
oned with him. Twenty-Five bolshevik
soldiers were detailed to guard the dis
tingulshed prisoners.
Late in the summer of 1918 1t was
decided by the Yalta soviet to execute
all the prisoners. The bolshevik guards
absolutely declined to permit the SEN
tence of death to be executed and sent
the firing squad back to headquarters
Three times thereafter executioners
were sent to kill the prisoners, but in
each Instance the guard prevented the
carrying-out of the sentence.
When the Germans came to Yalta
Nicholas declined to permit the Ger
mans to enter the house that had been
his prison, declaring his utter loath-
ing of all things German. Soon after
this the allies took Yalta and Nicholas
was rescued.
All the private fortune Of the grand
duke has been lost. His lands have
been confiscated. At Milan he lives
comfortably, but very unostentatiously.
Democracy owes much to Grand
Duke Nicholas. He was, in fact, a
stanch upholder of the old Russian alb
solutism. But first of all Nicholas was
Russian He knew Russa's saliva
ton depended on the vanquishing of
Germany, He was a leader of con-
summate skill and it Is more than prob
able that only his splendid generalship
prevented Germany from winning the
war in the early stages. His retreat
before the tremendous attack of Mack
essen and Hindenburg, which resulted
In the saving of the Russian armies,
was one of the most notable chapters
of the war.
Between the bolshevist Russia of to-
dry and the old autocratic Russia for
which Nicholas fought, practical stu
dents and statesmen find little choice,
but it must be admitted that the au-
tocracy produced great men, while the
gutter communism has found only
scoundrels for its leaders. In the
awarding of justice there should be
some provision for this gigantic Rus
sian. who in 1914 and 1915 prevented
Germany from marching to easy vic,
tory.

HAVE YOU ScROFULA?
Now Said to Be as Often Acquired
as Inherited.

1t is generally and chiefly indicated
by eruptions and sores, but in many
cases it enlarges the glands of the
neck, affects the internal organs, es-
peeially the lungs, and if neglected
may develop into consumption.
1t causes many troubles, and is
aggravated by impure air, unwhole-
some food, bad water, too much heat
or cold, and want Of proper exercise.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the medicine
that has been used with so much
satisfaction by three generations, is
wonderfully successful in the treat
ment of scrofula. Give it trial.
Lit cathartic or laxative is needed,
take Hoods Pills,-there is nothing
better for biliousness or constitution.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
Ellsworth Goes Democratic For First
Time Since 1913.

Time Since 1913.
There was municipal election in
Ellsworth Monday. Everyone with

And the democrats went "over the
top" carrying everything before
them.
Mayor Hagerthy, thirteen times
the candidate of the republicans for
mayor and eleven times the victor.
was defeated by Frank L. Heath,
democrat, by plurality of 95.
Fred B. Marden, republican nominee
for street commissioner, was also
beaten, Perley j. Phillips, democrat,
being elected by plurality of rs.
Four of the five wards are surely
democratic, the aldermen elected be-
ing Edward F. Small, Russell J.
Smith, Charles w. Sweeney and
Frank J. Dunleavy, and while. in
ward /, the official returns of the
ward officers give the election to
Carlton S. Donnell, republican, by a
plurality of three votes, an inspection
of the ballots yesterday indicated the
election of Clifford Earle Smith, DEM
ocrat, by two votes, or, at best, that
the vote for alderman is tie.
Petition in behalf of Mr.. Smith
has been filed in the supreme court.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
with the approach Of the Birthday
Of the Father of America on February
%, and with this country OF ours so
saturated with Bolshcviks, radicals,
knockers, and discomfort, it occurred
TO the writer that the time was ripe
when something should be done to
remind the people OF this great ma
tlon that. after all, there Is no room
for any spirit in this country except
one which tends to knit us all closer
together and to make us realize that,
after all, this country Ii today the
best spot on the entire globe in which
TO live.
Therefore. tho writer believes that
this year George Washington's
Birthday could be made a day known
ms Team proud to -be-an-American
Day" and could be worked up
throughout the country along the
various lines, such as public demon
strations, floats, community singing,
which would tend to drive home the
fact that this Is America-flrst, last,
and always.
Every true American would want
20 take part in such n celebration.

To tho Editor Of THE TINES:
read an article appearing in The
Times stating that Congress intends
letting the service mems bonus bills
slide unless the service men and their
organizations put more force behind
their plea. One Congressman stated
that Congress did not know what the
service men wanted and, therefore,
was unable to act.
Is 1t up to the service men to state
what they want7 Has there ever been
n case where the man to be rewarded
stated what he wanted7 Would II
not be n bad policy for the service
men to state what they want7 ! can
assure Congress that anything they
do for the service men will be greatly
appreciated by them.

coolies of money and no matter now
much he thinks of me. l think my

kissed me good-by. At that time 1
didn't think much of him not kiss

would have embarrassed me ter
ribly: but since 1 have been here
in the East and have found that all
the fellows that come to see you
