THL “CZAR'S DAUGHTER" The picture which appeared in the Herald yesterday, of Miss Anastasia Tchaikovsky, fo be the daughter of Czar Nicholas T1. natur- ally aroueed a deal of speculation as te whether she was a fraud or the genuine article. ller story has baf- fled historians before this and it is possible to believe it without fractuy ing one's credulity. When the firing squad af #erinburg sefzed the czar and the ctarina, and their family, fen 3 a2gon all the world knowe detinitely that the intentions were to put them claiming away. General bellef has been that | Bt according to ghe was only this was done. “Princess Anastasi unconscious, suffering from a wound in the mouth; and that she wae fak- en away from the scene in a hay wagon by a Red soldicr, subsequently married, pechaps out of gratitude for his act. She subse- quently passed _through Kumania, and two years lafer was found in a canal In Berlin, wae rescued, placed in & hospital, and theve “admitted her {dentity.” The world has been wondering ever since, The young man, Gleh Botkin, son of the czar's physician who slain with the Romanoffs, seems to be a reliable witness. He smays he was knew the princess during his boy- | hood, and that they were playmates, She is the genuine article, he de- clares. Mrs. Willlam B. Leeds Oyster Bay, L. 1., the former Prin- cens Xenfa of Nusesia, is convi 1 the woman is the czar’s daughter, and it Is to be a guest at her home for six months that &he is in this country. The New York customs and immigration officials, deferential and accommodating, aleo seem to be of the opinion there is no doubt ahout it. Most of us will hope it's so. The murder of the ezar's family was a particularly brutal and unnccessary incident in Russian annals. The czar had abdicated, and the throne was vacant, and as the people were de- termined upon a kingless govern- ment, the Romanoffs could just as easily have been left to live in re- tirement. They could not have turned to power without popular amsent, CUTTING AIR MAIL RATES The way to popularize the air mail is to reduce the rates—once again; that seems to be the conviction of many congresemen. Indeed, the Kel- Iy bill, which has been sponsored by the post office department, lias heen passed in committce and that the rate cents an ounce to § per cent reduction would b * panied with 10-year coufracts, which are eaid to be necessary in order 1o specifics e uced from 20 cents.

This is the old school, largely discredited in these modern days.

The youth, however, carricd no kind of insurance to indemnify him- sclf against harm dene by an auto- mobile. Considering the large num- ber of pedestrians killed and maim- cd it would scem that such automo- bile financial constderationf are im- portant, It is this type of accident that has speeded a consideration of the work- men’s compensation principle. We 2re not prepared to say that this is the best way, but there are those who regard it as a superior alterna- five for compulsory automobile in- surance or any of the other plans bruited or in operation. Under such a plan the present law of negligence abolished, the motorist would be responsible to all persons to wbom he causes personal injury regardless of the doctrine of per- sonal fault, the victim would be compensated according to a schedule of benefits. The most virile support of the plan is based on the argu- ment it would protect the great number who now are unable to col- lect damages, remove the burden of proof from tha injured party, insure prompt payment, avoid eplitting the anmount recovered with a lawyer, and relieve the courts of a fleed of litigation. But, like workmen's com- pensation, It would require a fund or a special form of insurance. It would add around $20 a year to the cost of running an automobile; and there are complications incident to motor vehicles from other states in- volved. The suggrstion is being studied in various states, particular. Iy New York.
