This good old-fashioned herb home remedy for constipation, stomach ills and other derangements of the system so prevalent these days is in even greater favor as a family medietas than in your grandmother's day. HE very latest form of the stock que** tion, "What next in Russia?" is this: "Czar Cyril I?" 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. "What next after Kerensky?" Its next form was, "Whnt next after Lenin?" Now the question seems to be, "What next after Trotsky?"--with "Caar Cyril I" thrown In for good measure. The Russian situation has as many complications as a cross-word puzzle. At this writing Leon Trotzky, the war minister, may be alive of dead. 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 Coljurg, Bavaria, has proclaimed himself Cyril I, czar of all the HussIqs). The Grand Duchess Cyril has recently paid us a Hslt of more or less mysterious purpose--which may have been for publicity The dowager empress of Russia--to give her lier former title--does not admit that Nicholas II Is dead and denounces Cyril. Grand Duke Nicholas, uncle of Nicholas II and oldest of the Roinatioffs. supports her. General Wrangel and the exiled remnants of his anti-Bolshevik "White Army" are loyal to the claim of Grand Duke Nicholas to the Romanoff throne. Kerensky, also in exile, Is as strongly •gainst Wrangel as he is against the Soviet government. And. finally, the Soviet government appears to be having difficulty in holding down the peasants and making them say they like the ruin nnd 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, 1 for more than a month, has^>een 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 Mesopotamia. The Communist Internationale of 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 1014, 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. SeptembeV, 1917, Provisional President Kerensky declared a republic. November the Lenin coup at Petrograd overthrew the Kerensky government and established Communism. July 10, 1918, the Fifth All-Russia' congress adopted a constitution. (The congress of 1922 established the Union of Socialist SJoviet Republics under the Communist Party.) February 19, 1918. Lenin apd Trotzky announced the surrender of Russia to the~t*eritral Powers. Hard) 26. 1922. the Russian Soviet Supreme court executed Archbishop Zepllak. January 21 occurred the death of Nikolai Lenin (Vladimir Ilyitch Cll: anov). head of the Russian Communist party and Soviet republics. The United States has refused to recognize the Soviet government. The British Labor government recognized It February 1. 1924. "Czar Cyril I" Is Grand Duke Cyril Wladlmlrovltch. Grand Duchess Cyril Is Victoria Feodorovna. Her father whs the Grand Duke Alfred of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, She is a granddaughter at Queen Victoria, a cousin of King George V of Hncland and a sister of Queen Marie of Rumania. Her first husband was her first cousin, the grand dt® a!sy CboA.--JYcxt cfisy Ckxm mia&ajduke of Hesse, a brother of the czarina of Russia. She divorced him in 1901. In 1905 she married Grand Duke Cyril, In spite of the fact that Csar , Nicholas II forbade the marriage. They were banished and it was not until 1909 that they were allowed to return. Here Is the proclamation la part of Cyril: Let the Russian ertny. „ although called Red. bat whose ranks have larucly beon forcibly enrolled, nay Its final word and come (o the succor of the downtrodden rights of the Russian people and revive tha, historical tradition. Bt.-ndlnK for the faith, the eaar and the fatherland, and restore law and order 14 Russia. In conjunction with the army, let the masses of !>«•» pie arise and call for the rightful ciar of the countrf,. who will be the loving, forplvlnn 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 recelv* • ample relief from ftmht and salvation from ftnat destruction, and later will be able to restore Its destroyed household and will regain peace and happiness. The task of the csar will be a painful and difficult one In a Russia impoverished and ihaken to Its foundation. Not for personal glory, not for vain honors nor for attainment of power shall the csar assume the throne of his ancestors, but for the accomplishment of his duty before God, before l.is conscience and his country. Imperatively calling foi the accomplishment of his holv task of liberating our native land from the humiliating and ruinous yoke. 1 first of all consider myself obligated to uphold the law and follow my duty, ignoring any hesitation and disregarding the fact of my unwilling abeence'from my country. Crnnrt Duke Cyril's proclnmation wns received with unper hy Marie Feodorovnn. dowacer empress of Russia, mother of t'ne murdered Czar Nicholas II. She wrote the following letter of protest from Villa Hvldoere. near Copenhagen, to Grand Duka Nicholas: Tour Imperial Highness: My heart was painfully depressed by reading the manifesto of the Orand Duke Cyril Wladlmlrovtteh who declared himself emperor of all Russlas. There Is no definite news up to now about the teta of my beloved^ son and grandson. I, therefore. con« slder the act of Grand Duke Cyril's proclamation aa premature. Nobody is In a position to deprive mo of the last gleam of hope. I am afraid that this manifesto may create dlrtgjoa and Instead of Improving will render still worse the state of tortured Russia. If it would pleaee the Almighty, In His unknown ways, to take unto Himself my beloved eon and grandson. I believe, without any forecast of the future and with firm hope In Divine Grace, that the future emperor will be designated by our fundamental laws In unison with the Orthodox church and altogether with the Russian people. I pray the Almighty to spare ua His angvr and to aave us by those ways known only to Him. -- I am sure that you. as the oldest member of the house of RomanofT. share my views. MARIR. Following Is the statement of Grand Duke Nleholas following the receipt of the letter of the dowager empress: I am happy to state that her Imperial majesty tfia Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna had no doubt that I share her feelings In regard to the act of the Orand Duke Cyril Wladlmlrovltch In proclaiming *"m aelf emperor of all Russlas. I had already many opportunities of expressing my deep conviction that the form of the future organisation of the Russian state can be decided only on RusI slan soil In accordance with the aspirations of tho Russian people. Disagreeing with the steps taken by the Grand Duka Cyril Wladlmlrovltch. I appeal to every Rucslan sharing the thoughts of her Imperial majesty and mine and I urge them to fulfill their duties to their coui*I try by continuing energetically and without Interruption the holy task of the liberation of Russia m»y Qod help us . GRAND DUKE NTCOLAI NICOLAYEVITCH. Alarmed over Grand Duke Cyril's propaganda campaign for the Russian throne, the Berlin Russian emigre colony of supporters of Grand Puk** Nlcholns held a secret conclave with Genentl Huron Wrangel. commander of the anti-Bolshevik iirtny which wns Interned In Yugo-Slavia and Bulgnria after its defeat In the Crimea. At a secret coi- * clave General Wrangel denounced Grand Duk» Cyril's Intentions as a "bluff" nnd all the participants pledged loyalty anew to Graafl rij,!.t , olas. •'-*v Russian Monarchists Students' fed eration and Russian emigre lawyers. • communique Issued by the colony to the German press, which ass e r t e d t h a t t h e "heads of the Russian emigre socleties and Russian anti-Bolshevist organizations" welcomed G e n e r a l Wrangel waa hotly resented by the Kerensky a d h e rents, the ex-preniler's friends also ^ ^having a flourish- ^fng 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 tied to Czechoslovakia and Germany, answered reports that he had joined the Soviets. ' # At this writing the latest news concerning Trotzky. the war minister. Is that the P.olshevlx commissar of finance. Sokolnikov, has denounced him in the Moscow Pravada as a Menshevik, say- Jiik: "\v? i,.,ve ,jeC|,jP(1 q„|etly to rentove, M. Trotzky from the Soviet activities without further explaining the differences between his policies and Mir own. Our party faces a great crisis to fulfill M. Lenin's policy, which Is a successful world revolution." All sorts of stories continue to come out-of Russia, Indicating a bitter struggle between Trotzky nnd the ruling triumvirate; some even tell of bloody conflicts In the streets of Moscow between the factions. That the Soviet government Is having trouble with the peasants Is shown by an epidemic of assassinations of Communist officials In the villages which has been raging since September. Said M. ZInovlev, dictator of the Leningrad district, In a public speech In Moscow: We must be careful how we treat the peasants. The peasant question Is more dangerous for us than the combined forces of 100 Kolchaka. 100 Wrangels 100 Chamberlains, and 200 Hughes The question Is" de- . veloplng In Communist villages into a Gordlan knot, which we must solve if*our dictatorship Is to continue Should we fall, our excellent maneuvers In International politics will not help us. The revolution will perish and our dictatorship will fade. Should we fail to take Into consideration* the change now proceeding In the attitude of the peasants towards us We are making a monstrous mistake which will mean our collapse. The Soviet government hns consistently warred on religion. It may or may not be significant that the Russian peasants almost universally this year celebrated Christmas. Even In Moscow the chapel of the Iberian virgin, the most famous Christian shrine In nil Russia, was crowded all day--while almost next door to It Is the Bolshevik shrlnef the - tomb of Lenin. The Russian peasant has again burst forth Into song and satire In the form of rhymes of four lines each, their old-time "chatushkl." Where the Communist dares not even whisper, they are boldly singing anything that comes into their heads about Soviet officials and policies. Here's a printable sample: Yesterday a cook was I. Stewing beans and peas-- , Now I am a Commissar feigning my decrees. What was the purpose of the visit here of Grand Duchess Cyril? Nobody seems to have reliable Information on the subject--or Information that Is accepted as reliable. Victoria Feodorovna herself gave out this statement upon her arrival In New York: The Grand Duchess Cyril has learned of reports appearing In the public press which have variously Intimated that her visit to this country Is for political purposes, to help restore the Russian monarchy, to sell a chateau, etc. The grand duchess wishes to invoke the courtesy of your newspapers In publishing a complete and unequivocal denial of these statements and reports. They are without any foundation In fact. Her visit Is purely social In Its nature and * has no political or financial purpose. It Is being made at the Invitation of American friends whose Invitations she accepted in I'arls last summer. The cordial invitation which was then extended to her furnished an opportunity which the grand duchesa has long desired to visit t. country bounjl to her own land by ties of traditional friendship, and which has so frequently and generously befriended her countrymen. She is looking forward with the greatest Interest and pleasure to her short stay here; but bey'ond her expectation of nieetinK her American friends and visiting some of the places of Interest she has. formed no plans. CJrand Duchess Cyril wns made much of socially in New York and Washington. But It was evident that social recognition was all she got; if diplomats attended the functions they went as private citizens. She departed after a stay of ten days, her parting word being this: "All Russian factions will be united against tha Soviet when the time comes." , " Will Build Bridge as Did Legions of Caesar w. N.
