Grand Dake Nicholas Comes Back to Old Place at Army Head At the opening of the war Grand Duke Nicholas was appointed com mander-in-chief of the Russian arm ies. He quickly came into world-wide prominence by his series of victories against the Austrians in Gallcia dur ing the summer of 1914 which made him the popular hero of the Russians and one of the great figures of the war. Even the great Austro-German drive in the following summer hardly lessened his prestige, although the Russians were forced back all along the front, losing most of Galicia, all of Poland and parts of White Rus sia and the Baltic provinces. During this disastrous campaign the Russians, short of guns and ammunition, pre served an unbroken front and the grand duke conducted the retreat in a manner which won the highest praise from military men. Despite this, the Grand Duke was deposed by Emperor Nicholas in Sep tember, 1915, the Emperor himself taking command of the Russian arm ies and sending the former chief com mander to the Caucasus. In this comparatively inconspicuous nosition little was heard of the Grand Duke as a personage. The results of his military genius, however, soon be gan to make themselves apparent In the results achieved by the Russian Caucasus armies. The brilliant campaign which he conducted in Turkish Armenia speed ily led to the fall of Erzerum, the Turkish stronghold in the eastern r>;rt of the province, and later of Trebl zond, on the Black Sea coast, and Er zingan, further west in the interior. For virtually a year past nothing has been heard of the Grand Duke. It has been assumed, however, that he was still in command in the Cau cusus. Already this year, the activ ities and successes of the Russian armies in the Persian branch of the Caucasus operations have given indi cations that some skillful guiding hand, presumably that of Nicholas, was responsible for the campaign ap parently designed to cut off the Turk ish forces driven from Bagdad by the British and now in full retreat up the Tigris towards Mosul. Grand Duke Nicholas, who was born in 1856, is the second cousin of Nicholas 11. His part in the Russo- Japanese war was an active and dis tinguished one. In 1906 he became president of the Council of National Defense. Twice in that year his life was unsuccessfully attempted. Great Britain Expects to Recognize Revolt London, March 16. —Great Britain has not officially recognized the new Russian government at the hour the House of Commons met to-day. Chan cellor Ronar Law, replying to a ques tion whether the house would send a message of sympathy to the Duma and what steps were being taken to recognize the new government, re plied: "The honorable members may feel no anxiety but I think they recognize that we must see the situation a little more clearly." Mr. Uonar Law added that tele grams were beingf received hourly from Petrograd. He promised a state ment on the situation in Russia on the conclusion of the business of the House. NOMINAL LIFE RESUMED AFTER RUSS TURMOIL [Continued From First Page] in which the same spirit of good or der prevailed through the hours when the revolt was at its height. Unor ganized crowds of revolters seemed to take pride in 'doings things regu larly.' "In all sections of the city the crowds commandered all motor cars on the streets, but in every case took the names of the occupants and prom ised to report the names and circum stances to the Duma committee and facilitate the return of the car. Practically Bloodless "In the view of the populace the revolution was practically bloodless. Certainly there has been some loss of life, but It is insignificant in popular estimation as compared with the tre mendous results obtained. For some weeks past everybody In Pctrograd realized that a crisis of some kind was approaching. The temper, even of the most patient people in the world, j becomes frayed when they are obliged to stand three or four hours in a tem perature ten or twenty degrees below | zero waiting for bread which often | was not obtained. Potatoes had risen to eight and nine times their ordinary price and other food commodities were at a cost practically prohibitive to the poor. "The explanations of the voluble new Minister of Agriculture, M. Rit tich, were not calculated either to re lieve the present hunger or the anx iety for the future. He ascribed the delay in the arrival of flour to a snow storm, as though snow storms In Rus sia in February were unparalleled phenomena. The people in the streets were not the only ones who squirmed under this sort of explanation. The Duma leaders as well regarded the situation as inexcusable and President Kodzianko llnally felt justified in go ing to the length of offering his whole-hearted assistance in putting into effect special emergency measures for Increasing the food supply. Deserted By People "Minister of the Interior Protopop off was absent from Saturday's confer ence on the food question. M. Proto popoff is a wealthy manufacturer and a courtier with a reputation for deb onair duplicity. Residing in the Tsarskoe-Selo palace he was reported lately as spending a large part of his time indulging in spiritualistic trances. Equally detested by the parliamentar ians and the people he never appeared in the Duma since his ministerial ap pointment. "With such an administration of J agriculture and the interior and with the premier a nonentity it was not surprising that the food prospects were regarded by the members of the Duma with the greatest alarm and dismay. While the Duma leaders were discussing the food situation the peo ple in the streets were getting more and more voluble in their protests against the whole situation." Further details of the events pre ceding the revolutionary coup in Pet rograd given in a Renter dispatch from the Russian Capital. The dis ; patch says that the working class had ! decided on "peaceful" street demon i .strations on Saturday. Early on Sat j urday morning the police warned the | citizens not to leave their houses as it | i was not safe. In other words, the j food demonstrations were to be sup- 1 pressed with an iron hand. Undeter red,however, by this warning the peo ple came out in such numbers that | the N'evsky Prospect and other main | thoroughfares were thronged. Middle Class In Crowds The crowds were mostly from the | middle classes as the roads from the [ labor district were barred. The peo- I pie were so good natured and jovial j that the authorities believed at first I that the day would pass all right. ! Nevertheless ttyey took precautions by sending for reinforcements. Patrols of Cossacks, mounted and I foot soldiers and police lined the Nev j sky Prospect and the court yards of j the houses were fijled with reserves. The crowd cheered the troops and Cossacks warmly as the soldiers show ed themselves appreciative. There was unprecedented feeling of com i raderie between the populace and the troops. Cossacks doffed their hats re peatedly to the cheerers and some groups of soldiers called back at the crowds. It was a sign of the times, which the authorities, however, failed I to read. Archives of Russian Secret Police Burned by Mobs of Persons London, March 16.—Practically the entire archives of the Russian secret police were burned by the revolution ists. according to a Times dlepatch from Petrograd. When the building in which the notorious Third Section had its headquarters was captured eager crowds sacked the offices, blasted open safes, wrecked strong boxes and rushed into the streets carrying mass es of documents, which were quickly ! converted into blazing bonfires. Not j all the documents, however, were de | stroyed. The new government has ob tained possession of lists of spies and informers who are being fast run to earth. Although the populace is strongly disposed to wreak summary vengeance on those who incurred their hate in the days of the old regime, the prlson i ers are safe once they are under the protection of the soldiers. The strong est anti-German feeling animates the population and all highly placed per sonages who are suspected of German proclivities or who bear German names or titles are being systematically hunted down. Revolutionists Mean To Push War Against Germany to Victory By Associated Press Petrograd, Thursday, March 15, via London, March 16.—The problems which we are going to solve consist of the re-establishment in Russia of a power capable of giving the people final victory over the enemy," said Professor Paul Milukoff, the new for eign minister and one of the most prominent Liberal leaders In Russia, in a statement to The Associated Press. ',' The great crime of the late gov ernment consisted of throwing the country into complete disorganization and subjecting it to the hardest trials. This state of affairs might even have had dangerous effects on the Issue of the war. The increase of popular dis content was the cause of the turn which events have taken. "During a few days the Duma at tracted to itself the attention of the whole nation, and was the center of enormous moral force. To-day It has material force also at Its disposal, see ing that the army has taken its side. Every hour brings news bearing wit ness to the continual growth of power of the forces of national representa tion. "The new government considers It Indispensable that the abdication of the Emperor be confirmed and the re gency temporarily entrusted to Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovltch. Such Is our decision. We consider it impos sible to alter it. "According to the latest news, the Emperor is at Pskov (162 miles south west of Petrograd). Contrary to cer tain rumors His Majesty has not been arrested. The Empress remains at Tsarskoe-Selo, where she Is in perfect safety " , t Grand Dake Nicholas is Reported to Have Reached Rass Capital By Associated Press London. March 16. —The Grand Duke Nicholas Is reported in a Reuter's dis patch from Petrograd to have reached the Russian capital. The dispatch says that he will prob ably take command of the troops. The question of replacing officers who were disarmed by their own troops is one which mugt be dncldeo most promptly. In the meanwhile the provisional government Is doing its ut most to straighten out the numerous tangles. The Duma and the Zemstvo council are working hand in hand, al though issusing separate proclama tions. Despite the non-appearance of news papers the public is better Informed of what Is going on than ever before. For this purpose a special squadron of motor cars have been commandeered " 1 Young men! come to our store ■' M fa 5 "?
