ASK HIGH HEAVENS
 SUPPORT OF CLAIM
Regard RomanOlf Family Row
 as Useless Performance

Coburg. Germany, Jan. 2l,-- Mysticism and the alleged manifesto tons of Heaven figure so extensively in the communiques Of rival claim ants for the Russian throne, throne which no longer exists, that central and western Europe generally regard the family row of the Romanoffs as m uncanny and useless perform ance.
 Since his original manifesto declar- Ing himself the rightful czar of all the Russias, Grand Duke Cyril has remained silent in his Coburg villa, and there are indications that he and his supporters will keep the Russian court and It's doings well under cover because of the communist ef- forts to have the self-styled .czar ex- pelled from republican Germany.
 There Is something so fatalisic and Asiastic in all the actions of the Romanoffs that liberal-minded peo- pie of the west cannot take them seriously. Even the aged Marie Feodoroyna, mother of the murdered Czar Nicholas, Danish princess though she be and sister of Alex andra, Englands queen dowager, sounds this same note. She has never believed her son is dead and, In denying the claims of all success sors, especially of Grand Duke Cyril. she talks Of the divine rights of rulers as if the world were plunged back Into the Middle Ages.
 It Is the hand Of God" which moved Cyril to proclaim himself the ruler of all the Russias, if one is to believe the statements of this Roma noff, whose manifesto sounds no more modern than the documents of Ivan the Terrible. His supporters. of whom his wife, who has recently been in the United States. seems to be far the most active, would have one believe 1t was divine providence which saved Cyril from drowning when his ship was destroyed in Pa cifc waters during the Russo-Japa- nese war that he might eventually take over the Russian throne.
 But the monarchists among the Russian cxiles who are supporting the claim of Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaivitch, are not at all inclined to admit that divine providence ever had anything to do with Cyril. and adduce score Of reasons in their brochures why nobody should pay
New Britain herald., 1925-01-21

any attention to such a pretender, On the other hand they have proofs which are entirely satisfying to them that Heaven has designated Nicholas Nicholawitch to sit upon the throne which nearly everybody in the world, except the old Russian monarchists, has forgotten.
 The old officials about the czar's court, and the fragments Of Russian royalty, find 1t dificult to divorce themselves from the Idea of imperial Russia, and few of them find their way to Grand Duke Cyril to talk things over.
 Cyril lives In a villa just across the street from the house that shelters ex-King Ferdinand of Bulgaria. In an old-fashioned market square in the center of the provincial town of SO.00O, which Is still living back in pre-war days and Is apparently in almost complete oblivion to the changes the world has undergone In the last l. years stands a statue of Prince Albert. the husband of the late Queen Victoria. whose marriage to the English queen resulted in Saxe-Coburg Gotha becoming aligned with practically all the ruling families of Europe.
 There Is reaction in the air at Co., burg. Wagner is played at the opera and films from the Wagner operas are shown at the moving picture house. It Is an ideal place for Cyril and Ferdinand and the rest of the dislodged royalty which has taken refuge here. There are few indus tries and consequently little to upset the medieval quiet of the well-im- proved village above which hovcrs the Coburg Veste, magnificent Gothic fortified castle which houses marvellous collections of arms and armor borne by German princes in the Crusades.
 Parsifal would be quite at home in Coburg, if it were possible for the young knight to take on human form. There is make-bel at mosphere about the place, It IS un. real 10 visitors from centers whore the modern spirit prevails. The biz motor cars of ex-King Ferdinand and Grand Duke Cyril arc the most dis cordant note. These men should ride on armored horses if they wish 10 fit into the picture and keep ir harmony with the spirit which they are endeavoring to perpctuate.
