When Dynasties Crash
Nicholas H. of Romnof

chronistic brothers do not really counD
and, more than 100 years later, the last
of the Romanoffs wrote, their most in
innate reflections" could not have
failed to strike everybody.
Where Two Were Similar.
The two monarchs appear Identical
not only in their inferiority to the
tragic events by which they were sur
rounded, but also in the puerile medi-
ocrity of their sensations, in the mod
esty of their inclinations, in the SIM
plicity and honesty of their family feel
ings and, also, alas, in the insensibility
not only to the history of their own
country but to the very force of the
sacred traditions which had created
the strength of their families.
For both Louis and Nicholas shoot
ing was the great business of a royal
person. On August II, 1906, when the
first Duma was going to meet in Rus
sia and the whole country was in an
atmosphere of potential revolution, the
Car Nicholas found this alone worth
entering in his diary:
AT 1870 this morning I went by

train to the woods to shoot grouse. The
night was clear, only slightly frozen.
Got two grouse, but saw many more
flying close to the ground. They were
awfully agitated."
The members of the Duma were even
more agitated, but there was not a
word about them.
At an historically analogous moment
In August, 1889. when the revolution
was showing its force by its triumph
over the feudal regime, the King of
France was writing in his diary:
August 4-Stag hunting in the
Marley Forest. Got one. Went on
horseback.
August 5-Nothing."
Nothing" Repeated Entry.
This nothing comes as a constant
refrain in the royal diary almost every
time that it's author has no hunting or
shooting or some formal ceremony to
note.
Now that there is in France snob-
bish form of admiration for the an
cient regimes. do many of the new roy
alists remember that on July IA, 1889,
Evening star., 1929-06-09

when the Partisan mob destroyed the
Bastille-the first of a fateful series OF
revolutionary acts-the King entered in
his diary on the evening of that day
only this word, Nothing" (rien)?
The same entry appears on the fol-
lowing day, when the events were only
apparently less striking. It was on that
day. indeed that the King went to the
National Assembly and bowed to the
new force, implicitly admitting that he
had been vanquished. And this is all
he wrote in his diary on that evening:
Sitting in the hall of the EtatS Gen.
erauX. No carriage when / came back. "
The famous days of October and 6,
1889, when the people of Paris went to
Versailles to take the King and Queen
and forced them to come and establish
themselves at the Tuileries, in the CEN
ter of the revolution, here Is what one
hears or feels of the tragic two days in
Louis XVI's diary:
October 5-Left for Paris at 2:30.
Went to the Hotel de Vile Supper at
the Tuileries. Slept there"
Flight to Varennes.
For the flight of Louis XVI to Var
ennes. for those dramatic days of June
81, %, %, "a and IS, 1891, when the
King was captured by the populace and
only facts related in the diary concern
whether he slept in bed or an arm
chair, what he ate, and so on.
Ten months later, still King, at
least in appearance, Louis went, on
April 20, 1892, to the Legislative Assem-
bly, and there he solemnly read the dec
laration of war upon Austria. 1t was
the beginning Of the tragic chain of
wars out of which came new Europe.
It was, to say the least, war on the
family and the country of his wife.
What did he write in the diary? Only
this:
Went at 1890 to the National AS
sembly. BY coach"
In his mental inexistence the French
King is at least laconic.
The Russian Emperor, in his diary, is
just as insignificant, but loquacious as a
sentimental spinster.
The weather is the principal topic of
his diary, just as it is in the conVersa-
Charming weather." beautiful. sunny
day." delightful, mild temperatures
these are the recurring phrases, alter
mated with "it rains" or-more daringly
white sheet of snow: and that. and
only that. in the long period when his
throne was tottering to pieces.
More Serious Remarks.
When more serious remarks come, at
rare intervals, from his pen, one can
not escape the sensation that what he
said was not his own original thought,
but that he was merely repeating phrases
he had heard. Let us take. for example.
the entry he made on March 2, 1917,
Immediately after his abdication:
This morning Russki came and read
me his long telephone conversation with
Rodzianko, in Petrograd. Rodzianko
thinks that the situation there Is such
that no cabinet might be formed by the
Duma, because the Social-Den1ocratic
party would be against it, led, as it is
now, by the Soviet of the workmen. My
abdictation is necessary. Russki has al
ready communicated his conversation
with Rodzianko to AleXeiew and to all
commanders of armies. Their answers
came at 2. It appears that this step is
necessary to save Russia and save the
armies from anarchy. I have con-
sented."
Is it not evident that he has forgotten
or overlooked some of the arguments
that Russsd must have submitted. To- him

Roy Chapman Andrews
To Continue Cobb Search

DR.. Roy Chapman Andrews, world
famous leader of several expeditions
into the Cobb Desert of Central Asia
in search of remains of mans ances-
tors, is soon to resume his explorations
for the American Museum Of Natural
History. While passing through Toxic
for a brief visit to the Unite States he
declared when asked as to his in1me-
diate plans:
I'VE are going back to the same re-
gion in inner Mongolia where we made
our most recent discoveries. The rock

most part too old to have contained

younger levels of geologic deposits.
"A most interesting discovery which
urges US to return for further investi-
cation was that of the remains of

We named the dune dwellers. Accord
ing to the evidence there we're appar-
emily millions of them and the region
was much more densely populated
than in historical times. This race,
however. seems to have completely dis

Man Behind Our Exports


removed from the drabness and dreari-
ness popularity associated with such a
calling as can be imagined. He IS filled
with romantic idealism in connection
with everything affecting commerce, and
especially foreign commerce. He has a
gift for discussing it in vivid terms,
electric with infectious enthusiasm
There is no phase of it upon which he
cannot wax both eloquent and infor-
NATIVE. He can almost make trade
statistics sing. He has them at his
tongues tip-a veritable walking en-
cyclopedia of world commerce.
His tastes in this direction were culti-
waited early in life. AS a boy in Cali
fornia he loved to go up to San Fran
CISCO The lure of the great bay and
the ships that sailed it proved irresist-
ible to him. He used to haunt the
places that had been frequented by
Robert Louis Stevenson, Bret Harte,
Frank Norris and Jack London. He
knew the toll and turmoil of the water
front. He was fascinated. too, by the
vistas that lay beyond these immediate
aspects, the visions of Oriental ports,
hidden riches, mysterious peoples,
strange products. So his mind. very
early in life, was turned to questions of
Cargoes, crews and commerce.
All this remained with him when, in
1908. he entered the University of Cali
fornia at Berkeley His bent was un-
mistakable. and, whenever the opportu-
nifty arose in the progress of his studies,
he gave those instructive interests free
and ample scope.
Soldier and Cowboy.
During his undergraduate days young
Klein interested himself, too, in mill
tary matters. He obtained a commits
sion in CALIFORNIA; S citizen soldiery and
had chance to do his bit" during
the San Francisco fire in 1906, COM
manding some of the troops that strove
desperately to bring order out of chaos
and to prosecute the vital work of
"cscue and relief
Klein, too, has been a cowboy. Dur
ing the Summer vacations he used to 60
up to ranches in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains and punch cattle. This had
n strong appeal for Klein. He liked the
picturesque environment. the tonic
activities out of doors. and he liked
too. the men he worked with-their
humanity their courage, their realistic
view of life.
Klein at college won signal honors,
among them two essay prizes on his
torical themes that fitted in admirably
with his innate inclinations.
The first of these was the James
Bryce prize for a discussion of the
Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo between
the United States and Mexico. by
which our country had acquired those
vast stretches of territory in the South
west. The second was an essay having
TO do with Central America. Constantly
recurring in Klein's career has been this
dominating motif" of the Spanish
Americas and Spain.
Experiences Shipwreck.
In 1919 Klein had the experience OF
shipwreck Having been appointed
United States commercial attache at
Buenos Aires, he was on his way down
the west coast of South America. II
was his plan to go by way of Chile
and thence across the Cordillera by rail-

Autonomy Is Sought
By Formosa Residents

A delegation representing prominent
residents of Formosa has visited Toxic
and submitted to the Diet a petition Tor
political autonomy. The petition Is
signed by 1882 persons in all walks of
life in the island colony. The people
of Formosa have already attained a
stage of cultural development where
they are qualified to participate in the
administration of the island spokes-
man said. "It is true that the governor
generalship of Formosa had to carry
with it absolute powers when Japan
first took the island over 40 years ago,
but times have changed. regret
deeply that the Japanese people do not
know more about Formosa or the
1000, 900 Formosans. They are so en-
crossed In their own affairs that they
are not awake to the mistakes in
colonial policy being made by the gov
ernment officials in Toxic. We are
completely satisfied with the island as
part of the japanese empire. but we
believe that autonomy Is best both for
the island and for the empire" Lack
of freedom of publication was cited by
the group as one of the most objection
able features Of the present rule.

and that what he repeats are mere
phrases detached from a much heavier
chain of fears and facts? But the few
phrases, for some reason. stuck in his
memory and he wrote them down.
Even when, a few days later, he wrote:
Everything around me is treason, cow
ardice, knavery"-even this outburst,
when studied in its context seems to be
the repetition of what some faithful
servant probably sighed in his presence
few minutes before.
Nicholas Even Feebler.
Poor, miserable, yet pitiful shadow!
Nicholas was even feebler than the
French King. This one at least, was in
existant as king, as a ruler; he might
have been successful country gentle
man, heavy as he was, great eater.
with certain peasant-like cunning OF
his own.
Much more refined than the other,
Nicholas was one of the series of niflil-
istic beings we have learned to know in
certain immortal Russian pages. When
somebody suggested that he take the
initiative in arranging for the two con-
ferences at The Hague to discover way
to peace and disarmament, he certainly
saw the beauty of the task. sSut he did
not have the force to follow the great
ideal.
Louis XVI would have been unable to
understand-just as he was unable to
see the beauty and moral nobility Of
the American Revolution.
Or is 1t, perhaps. only the proof that
more than a century had not passed IN
vain, even for monarchS?
One hesitates to invoke the general
law Of progress in explaining the initia-
tives taken by Nicholas II. For it is i'm
possible to forget that the German
Kaiser was cotemporary Of Nicholas
II and that the Russian initiatives for
peace were opposed and scoffed at and
ridiculed by the diplomats and the gen.
erals of the last of the Hohenzollerns.
The last of the Bourbons and the last
OF the Romanoffs at least spared the
history of their families the comedian
touch which. despite the fact that there
was no royal execution, has made even
more pathetic the end of the Prussian
dynasty dynasty that gave eighteenth
century Europe one Of its most striking

us to meet practically every day
for nearly three months. In all
that time he was never late but
twice, and then only for a few
minutes. And each time he sent
word to me from his office tell
ing me that he would be late"
J, p. Morgan figured that every
hour of his time was worth
$1,000, and he had no patience
with men who were late for
appointments, or who. when they
came to see him, did not give
him his moneys worth in ex-
