- PAGE FOUR “Bvitch, who is a noted writer aand By Joseph Shaplen (United Press Correspondent.) New York, Sept. 20~-All the Romanoffs have been exiled from Pet- rograd and vicinity. g(.;rts"amd Dukes Paul A]exandro_vitc_h, Nicolai Michailovitch, Serge Michail- ovitch, as well as the brother of the wife of Paul Alexandrovitch, Prince Paul Alexandrovitch Palei, on leay- ing Petrograd took with them only necessaries and books. They took very little baggage with them, due to impossibility of transporting any- thing cumbersome in Russia. All articles of luxury, art, painting, re- ligious objects and precious stones belonging to the grand dukes were left in Petrograd. ; The Grand Duke Nicolai Michail- historian, in fact the only man of big talent produced by the Romanoff dynasty in recent years, left all his writings, memoirs and very rich his- torical library in the care of a cer- tain prominént Russian writer and politician, who played a big part in the revolution, and prominent mem- ber of the Russian Historcial Society, which, after the revolution, unani- mously chose the Grand Duke Nico- lai Michailovitch its president. This grand duke is noted through- out Europe not, only as an historian but as an antiquarian and collector. The palace of Nicolia Michailo- vitch is a wonderful museum of ancient history, the contents of which he collected from all parts of the world. The grand' duke refused to go to Perm, where he has many powerful friends, and perferred to go RUSSIAN GRAND DUKES ARE ~ NOW INEXILE FROM CAPITAL which Alexander II slept was sold on the Alexandrinski market for 15 roubles, and finally located at the home of a cab driver. kerchiefs of Catherine II and the former Czarina were sold in the streets of Petrograd at a rouble (13 cents) apeice. A peasant who ob- tained a handkerchief wused . by Catherine II sold it to a member of the French Military Mission for 15,- 000 roubles. Valuable dogs belong- ing ‘to the Czar were sold at from 10 to 15 roubles eath. One dog named, “Pti,”” which accompanied the Czar on all his trips and was the gift of the kaiser, was sold for 2 roubles. The boots of Peter the Great were sold for 20 roubles. The grand dukes -have addressed special plea to the Bolshevik govern- ment for the security of their prop- erty. 'The matter was taken into the Bolsheviki-—after much of the prop- erty representing part .of the cultural estate of the Russian people was stolen. . Only the grand dukes residing in and about Petrograd have been exiled to Vologda and Perm. It is believed, however, that Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovitch Rasputin’s slayer and son of Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovitch, will also go to Vologda in view of the c¢ritical illness of his father. Dmitri is now in Teheran, whither he was exiled by the Czar for lead- ing the assassination of Rasputin. The grand dukes residing in Finland and Crimea will not be molested. They will simply have to register. Now that the Germans are in control of these regions, the grand dukes are in their hands. to Vologda because, he explained, there. was a collection of ancient ikons and an ancient church there. The former grand dukes are great- ly. worried about their property. Par- ticularly under the Bolshevik regime, many of the precious and rare paint- ings and - things of art belonging to the grand dukes have been stolen and scattered throughout Europe. = A horseshoe, studded with diamonds, for example—the property of the Grand. e Andrei Valdimirovitch— and at more than 3,000,000 roublée’ fabout $1.000,000 in normal times) was obtained by a speculator for 8,000 roubles and sold for 350,- 000 roubles. Fortunately, the horse- shoe was recovered through the grand duke’s own efforts.. . The pillow on . Grand Duke Nicolia Michailovitch is working hard in Vologda on .his memoirs, covering a period of many years, particularly the ‘intrigues at the court during the war and prior to the revolution. Much space will be devoted to the clandéstine corres- pondence between leading members of the court anad Germany. The grand duke will prove, on the basis of original documents, that although efforts were made by certain members of the court and government to con- cludé a separate peace with Germany, there never was such effort made on the part of the government as a whole. An English publishing house- has offered to publish the book but the grand duke has refused the offer. EYES OF THE U, S. ARMY ! i AN UNKNOWN OFFICER WRITES OF HIS LOVE (By United Press.) London, Sept. 14. (By Mail.)— Who is the British artillery officer who fell in love with an American Red Cross girl and. wrote.the story of his love so well that:it is considered literature by an English publisher?, John Lane; the publisher, wants to. know. - He is advertising to notify the unknown artilleryman that the munusc}‘lpt will ‘be published unless jome objection is made soon. A British airman found in a de- serted dugout which had heen a gun position, a roll of papers, on which are written the things the writer Here 1s one of the huge observation balloons of the United States army, called ‘“elephants” by . the soldlers, which are indigpensable in modern warfare, Dream On! A year ago a manufacturer: engaged a boy. For months there was nothing noticeable about the boy except that he never took his eyes off the work he was gloing. - A few weeks ago the manufacturer looked up to see the boy standing beside his desk. “What do you want?’ he asked. “Want me pay raised.” “What are you getting?’ “Ten shillings a week."” “Well, how much do you think you are worth?” “Fifteen shillings.” “You think so, do you?" “Yeg, slr, an' I've been thinkin’ so for three weeks, but I've been so blamed busy I ain’t had time to speak to you about iti" The boy got the raise—Uplift Mag- nzine. Rents Up in Holland. House rents In the larger Dutch cit- fes, especlally The Hague, writes United States Vice Consul A. C. Nel- gon from that capital, have been In- creasing continuously, owing In great meqsure to the large Influx of Bel- glans at the beginning of the war, and the later continuous arrivals of Eng- lish and German prisoners of war, and the few new bulldings erected during the last years. To meet this deficlency the govern- ment has erected a number of tempo- rary bulldings and barracks, but many of the well-to-do forelgn officers and soldlers seek houses and rooms and, consequently, the rents keep soaring.

On some pages the yellow mud is disfiguring. On such a page the un- known has shown how he half de- cided to tell his loved one—over the telephone!—that he adored her. “l have only to unhook the re- ceiver,” says he, ‘‘and to telephone to you..

This is the man who has been with you all the even- ing, almost every evening, in fact, of his leave in Paris, I called you up to ask if you would marry me!” On another page, on which part of the writing is nearly obliterated by mud, he calls her his own Joan of Are, “with your pale rose beauty and your Croix Rouge Amercane—you both answered the call of " duty. Your spirit is the same, though cen- turies divide you.” Apart from its love interest the manuscript tells vivid tales of gun- ners' fights, LOAN MARCHES ON.

Tokio, Sept. 2. (By Mail.)—Budd- hism will die a natural death ‘when militarism and imperialism are dis- sipated from” the world, and Chris- tianity will become’ the religion of the Japariese, according to the predic- tion of D¥. Danjo Ebina, veteran and Jeading Japanese Christian pastor of Tokio. Dr. Ebina made this proph- acy at the Conference of the Federat- ed Council of the Churches in Japan in Karuizawa, the most popular, sum- mer resort of Japan. At this report 617 Americans and 365 Britons, al- mest all missionaries, are spending their annual holiday lasting through July and August. o “T am exceedingly glad that Japan is - participating as an ally of the great democratic . nations in this war,’” Dr. Ebina said. = “The revolu-| tion of 1867 in Japan effected the abolition of a feudal government. Thus the caste system was destroyed and the equality of men established. The principles of ‘American democ- racy had a tremendous influence on this revolution. “While old Japan hated the gospel taught by Christian missionaries. the new Japan welcomed it. For 20 years after the revolution conditions faverable to Christianity continued in Japan. Then the German system was introduced into the country. It suited the spirit of militarism and imperialism that still obtained in cer- tain quarters; but it gave to Japan a philosophy of absolutism which had a fascination for some minds. “This spirit appeared almost to gupercede the democratic ideas that had been inculcated in the minds of the people. It made Japan very con- servative. In certain respects Japan even went beyond German kaiserism, introducing a kind of emperor-wor- ship. With this Buddhism easily united. > “Then for a time many Japanese STRENGTHENS KIDNERS-PURI- FIES BLOOD You can’t expect weak kidneys to keep up under the terrific strain of nature’s effort to filter the acids and poisons out of the system unless they are given a little help.
