When Alexander Kerensky, who headed the revolution that forced the late Czar Nicholas II from the throne of the Romanoffs, was tottering to his fall the question was, Its What next after Kerensky? next form was, What next after Now the question seems Lenin? to be, What next after Trotzky? with Czar Cyril I thrown in for good measure. The Russian situation has as many complications as a cross-wor- d puzzle. At this writing Leon war the may be alive or dead, minister, Trotzky, in power or a prisoner or in exile press reports from Russia agree only in omitting to say that he is dead. While the news from Russia is utterly unreliable because of a strict Soviet censorship, it is presumably true that Trotzky is at outs with the other Soviet leaders and is the center of what appears to be a cyclonic storm. Grand Duke Cyril, from his place of exile In Coburg, Bavaria, has proclaimed himself Cyril L czar of all the Itussias. The Grand Duchess Cyril has recently paid us a visit of more or less mysterious purpose which may have been for publicity only. The dowager empress of Russia to give her her former title does not admit that Nicholas II Is dead and denounces Cyril. Grand Duke Nicholas, uncle of Nicholas II and oldest of the Romanoffs, supports her. General Wrangel and the exiled remnants of his White Army are loyal to the claim of Grand Duke Nicholas to the Romanoff throne. Kerensky, also In exile, Is as strongly against Wrangel as he Is against the Soviet gov- ernment. And, finally, the Soviet government appears to be having difficulty In holding down the peasants and making them say they like the ruin and chaos that everywhere prevails in Russia. On the other hand, although the Soviet government may be having hard going in Russia, Europe appears to be badly scared over Communist activities outside of Russia. The British government, for more than a month, has been working hard in a campaign to organize a crusade of great and little powers, including the Vatican, against the Communist activities for a world revolution. It Is frightened by the progress of revolutionary propaganda in India, Egypt, Persia, Afghanistan, and The Communist Internationale of Mesopotamia. Moscow retorted by ordering a general Bolshevik uprising in the Balkans the second week of March and the establishment of Soviet republics in- Albania, Bessarabia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Galicia and Macedonia. The British foreign office has brought about a coalition of Rumania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia against Soviet Russia. The French have also felt the scare and have turned and are giving support against Russia. As to Russian chronology, it will be remembered that the World war broke out in 1914, with the declaration of war by Austria against Serbia, July 28. Germany declared war against Russia August 1 because the latter had begun to mobilize Its armies. September 1, 1915, Czar Nicholas II took over the supreme command from Grand Duke Nicholas. his uncle. March 12, 1917. the Kerensky revolution was accomplished and Nicholas abdicated. September, 1917, Provisional President Kerensky declared a republic. November the Lenin coup at I'etrograd overthrew the Kerensky government and established Communism. July 10, 191.8, the P'ifth congress adopted a constitution. (The congress of 1922 established the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics under the Communist Party.) February 19, 1918. Lenin and Trotzky announced the surrender of Russia to the Central Powers. March 20, 1922, the Russian Soviet Supreme executed Archbishop Zepliak.

In 1905 she married Grand Duke Cyril, in spite of the fact that Czar Nicholas II forbade the marriage. They were banished and it was not until 1909 that they were allowed to return. Here is the proclamation In part of Cyril: Let the Russian army, although called Red, hut whose ranks have largely been forcibly enrolled, say Its final word and come to the succor of the downtrodden rights of the Russian people and revive the historical tradition, standing for the faith, the czar and the fatherland, and restore law and order to Russia. In conjunction with the army, let the masses of people arise and call for the rightful czar of the country, who will be the loving, forgiving and thoughtful father and ruling sovereign of the great Russian country, who will be feared alone (by the enemies) and by the willful wreckers and destroyers of the nation. The czar will restore the churches, forgive those who have misled and give to the peasants the legal ownership of land they possess. Then Russia will receive ample relief from famine and salvation from final destruction, and later will be able to restore Its destroyed household and will regain peace and happiness. The task of the czar will be a painful and difficult one In a Russia impoverished and thaken to Its foundation. Not for personal glory, not for vain honors nor for attainment of power shall the czar assume the throne of his ancestors, but for the accomplishment of his duty before God. before his conscience and his country. Imperatively calling for the accomplishment of his holy task of liberating our native land from the humiliating and ruinous yoke. I first of all consider myself obligated to uphold the law and follow my duty, ignoring any hesitation and disregarding the fact of my unwilling absence from my country. Grand Duke Cyril's proclamation was received with anger by Marie Feodorovna, dowager empress of Russia, mother of the murdered Czar Nicholas II. She wrote the following letter of protest from Villa nvldoere, near Copenhagen, to Grand Duke Nicholas: Tour Imperial Highness: My heart was painfully depressed by reading the manifesto of the Grand Duke Cyril Wladlmlrovltch who declared himself emperor of all Russlas. There Is no definite news up to now about the fate of my beloved son and grandson. I, therefore, consider the act of Grand Duke Cyrils proclamation aa premature. Nobody Is In a position to deprive me of the last gleam of hope. I am afraid that this manifesto may create division and Instead of Improving will render still worse the state of tortured Russia. If It would please the Almighty, In His unknown ways, to take unto Himself my beloved son and grandson, I believe, without any forecast of the future and. yj.th firm hope in Divine Grace, that the future emperor will he designated by our fundamental laws In unison with the Orthodox church and altogether with the Russian people. I pray the Almighty to spare us His anger and to save us by those ways known only to Him. I am sure that you. as the oldest member of the MARIE. house of Romanoff, share my views. Following Is the statement of Grand Duke Nicholas following the receipt of the letter of the dow- flourish- having ing society. They declared the Wrangel group did not reflect the real feelings of the Russian emigres, representing only an insignificant fraction of them. Hell will freeze over before I become a Bolshevik. Not In this life or hereafter will any one be able to call me a Bolshevik. Thus Kerensky, who made the revolution which overthrew Nicholas and who was defeated by the Bolshevik! and fled to Czechoslovakia and Germany, answered reports that he had joined the Soviets.
