Paris, Sept IL.
With the pendulum of Russian sem
tirnent, as far as those citizens of the
unfortunate empire who have sought
temporary asylum in France is con-
cerned, rapidly swinging back to pre-
war opinion in favor of the czarist
regime, an intensive campaign has
been started to show that other po-
litical groups than that represented by
Kerensky were largely responsible for
the assassination Of Russia's Little
Father"
According to the Royalists, when
Kerensky was approached and asked
permission to send the Car and his
family to friendly haven, either in
France, Spain or England, the Pro-
visional President refused to accede
to the request. indicating by a signifi-
cant gesture that the Cars fate had
been decided.
Kerensky's Defence Denied.
According to M. Karabtschewsky,
formerly reputed to be Russia's greatest
lawyer, who Is Kerensky's latest ac-
cuser and who has given flat denial of
Kerensky's defence, he negotiated with
England to have the Gear sent there,
but it was impossible to carry out the
plan before the Ekaterinburg holocaust
arrived.
Kerensky has even declared that Lon
don refused to consider rescuing the
Car, until the war had been concluded,
but M. Karabtschewsky has secured the
capitals OF Europe and has obtained
what is considered trustworthy evidence
that there was hardly q royal family or
government which was not greatly con-
cerned over the Cars predicamert, and
that everywhere cffers were made In
contradiction of what Kerensky says.
Apparently the Czar was never In
formed Of the kindly disposition Of the
allied nations. Early in March. 1917,
King George of England sent m open
telegram to the Gear expressing SYM
pathy because of his overthrow.
King Georges EfYort.
This message assured Nicholas: Il
think increasingly about you and re-
main. as you know. always your faith
full friend" This sentiment was ex-
rlained a few days later 10 kerensky
nnd the growing Soviet delegations at
Petrograd by Sir George Buchanan.
British Ambassador. who said that King
George was happy to offer the eX-
Emperor of Russia and his whole fam
lily refuge in England with the hope
that they would take advantage of 1t
Lefore the end of the war
Almost simultaneously the King OF
Spain, through an Intermediary, Prince
Koudachef, then Charge dAffaires at
Madrid, informed the Russian Govern
ment that the King was alarmed az the
possibility of the Cars continued pres
ence in Russia, as 1t might arouse san
culinary disorders, and the Prince prom
ised to approach the Government off
cially with n definite plan of succorins
the Czar and his family.
Before this plan developed the Car S
fate was sealed and with 1t that of other
members of the imperial family. Sim
liar offers came from Paris but were
ignored by the provisional governments
leaders, one of whom assured NJ. Cam
bon that continued proffers of this sort
would be considered as defiance of the
provisional regime.
Coming Conflict Forecast.
It is evidence such as this, borne out
by undeniable documents, which will
make the conflict for power. once the
Reds are oustcd. exceedingly dangerous.

funds ready and each is arnassing
column after column of sworn testimony
of refugees from all parts of Russia as
TO the attitude Of the Soviet politicians
or their opponents during the commence
ment of the Bolshevist regime.
The Paris Bureau of THE New York
HERALD is informed that some former
Russian landholders. now almost poverty
stricken. ard living from hand to mouth
in various European capitals. have
signed pledges that they VIII deliver
large shares of their estates TO the politi-
cal group to which they belonged for

and a constitutional monarchy estab-
lished.
Kerensky's party, with headquarters
In Prague, is equally vigilant and rs re-
ported to have collected huge sums from
peasants on promises that when peace is
restored in a country where II Is now
little more than n memory, the land VIII
not be restored TO the nobility.
They promise that the property VII
remain in the hands of the proletariat
and when the now order comes, provided
they remain faithful to Kerensky's re-
fogn1 platform, they will not be COM
PEELED to bend their knee TO any new
Little Father of All the Russias."
