itory *f Great Russian Military Com-
mander Most Amazing Romanes
•f ths War—His Splendid Gen-
eralship Is Recalled.
From March, 1917, till October, 1018,
Grand Duke Nicholas Romanoff, for-
mer commander In chief of the Rus-
sian armies and one of the most bril-
liant generals of the great war, was
a prisoner In the town of Yalta In the
Crimea. He is now In Milan with his.
family, humbly housed. The story of
“Big Nick” Is one of the most air>^-
log romances of the war, the Pitts-
burgh Gazette-Times states.
When the bolshevlkl gained control
of Russia Nicholas was residing at
Tiflis, where he had been governor un-
der the czar and under the Lvoflf
regime. He was summoned to Yalta
by the bolshevik authorities and obeyed
the summons. His brother, his wife,
his sister-in-law and other members of
his family and his suite were impris-
oned with him. Twenty-five bolshevik
soldiers were detailed to guard the dis-
tinguished prisoners.
Late In the summer of 1918 It was
decided by the Yalta soviet to execute
all the prisoners. The bolshevik guards
absolutely declined to permit the sen-
tence of death to be executed and sent
the firing squad back to headquarters
Three times thereafter executioners
were sent to kill the prisoners, but in
each instance the guard prevented the
carrying-out of the sentence.
When the Germans came to Yalta
Nicholas declined to permit the Ger-
mans to enter the house that had been
his prison, declaring his utter loath-
ing of all things German. Soon after
this the allies took Yalta and Nicholas
was rescued.
All the private fortune of the grand
duke has been lost. His lands have
been confiscated. At Milan he lives
comfortably, but very unostentatiously.
Democracy owes much to Grand
Duke Nicholas. He was, in fact, a
stanch upholder of the old Russian ab-
solutism. But first of all Nicholas was
a Russian. He knew Russia’s salva-
tion depended on the vanquishing of
Gefmany. He was a leader of con-
summate skill and it Is more than prob-
able that only his splendid generalship
prevented Germany from winning the
war In the early stages. His retreat
before the tremendous attack of Mack-
•sen and Hlndenburg, which resulted
In the saving of the Russian armies,
was one of the most notable chapters
•f the war.
Between the bolshevist Russia of to-
day and the old autocratic Russia for
which Nicholas fought, practical stu-
dents and statesmen find little choice,
but It must be admitted that the au-
tocracy produced great men, while the
gutter communism has found only
Scoundrels for Its leaders. In the
awarding of Justice there should be
some provision for this gigantic Rus-
sian, who In 1014 and 1915 prevented
Germany from marching to easy vic-
tory.
Preventive Measures
Green Feed for Poultry
If the best results are to be ob-
tained with poultry they nhust be
furnished with a plentiful supply
of green feed. Where fowls have
unlimited range on a farm they
will secure green feed during the
spring, but during the winter it
must be supplied for them. The
6
question of how to supply the
best feed at the least cost is one
that each poultry keeper must
dscide largely for himself. It will
probably make but little differ-
ence what kind of green feed is
Supplied provided it is relished
by the fowls. Cabbages, turnips,
beets, potatoes, etc,, are suitable
for this purpose. The larger
roots and the cabbages may be
suspended by means of a wire or
string, or they may be placed on
the floor, in which case it would
be well to split the turnips or
beets lengthwise with a large
knife. Potatoes and turnips to
fed cooked. The mangel is an
excellent root for feeding raw.
Cut clover soaked in boiling wa-
ter fed alone or with the mash is
good. Clover meal and ground
alfalfa make very good feeds for
Growers of winter wheat are
advised to practice immediate
control measures advocated by
department experts. The follow-
ing eight cardinal control meas-
ures, if rigorously enforced and
ddhered to hy every grain grow
cr, will prevent the introduction
and sp. -ad of the. pest:"
Do n;>' sow wheat on stubble
i.‘ possible to avoid it.
Plow under all infested stubble
and ruined wheat where practi-
cable soon after harvest, espe-
cially where this does not inter-
fere with the growing of clover
and foreign grasses.
Destroy all volunteer wheat by
harrowing, disking, plowing or
otherwise.
Plow all winter wheat land as
eai !y am deeply as existing con-
ditions permit and prepare a
thoroughly pulverized and com-
pacled seedbed.
Conserve moisture against a
period of drought at seeding
time.
Use the best seed procurable.
Keep the soil in good tilth and.
most important of all, sow winter
wheat during the fly-free period,
as advised by local farm advisors
or staie experiment stations.
Work in. co-operation with your
neighbor in fighting this pest, as
community actioia is essential to
insure complete success.
Stop* Loss
Cotton raisors are losing an-
nually an average of $30,000,000
!iuiu weather damage to bales
left in the oppn. That estimate
is regarded as conservative, for
every bale cx posed to weather
soon loses en ough “pickings” to
represent at least $2.50, and in-
stances of muc h greater loss to
individual bales are not infre-
quent. An instance that is not a
rent dislanci; from typical con-
cerns a bale l.haJ; was exposed to
(he weather for six months, los-
ing 76 poun dt, at 23c, or $17.48.
Ihe U. S. Dept, of Agriculture,
through tb.c Bureau of Markets,
is urging southern farmers to
"tore their cotton and stop this
waste. It calls attention to the
warehouses licensed and bonded
under the U. S. warehouse act,
says that they furnish best re-
ceipts—good for cash at any bank
—cheaper insurance and better
service. The department does
not confine its recommendations
to bonded warehouses. More
general use of private warehouses
will do much to stop the big loss.
PossibJ y a New Party
Independ ,ent voters from all of
the forty-f light states will come
together i n a conference in St.
Louis calle :d by the Committee of
Forty-eigb ,t -for Dec. 9th next.
The co manittee, which has its
headquar tea s at 15 East 40th St.,
New Yor k«C'ity„ has just issued a
statement c, riling attention to the
necessity fo r frank discussion of
vital politic :al, social and eco-
nomic issiii es. Neither the Re-
publican o or the Democratic
party is ing to bring up such
issues, tb* statement continues,
aud it iv. necessary for those of
liberal oaiia ion to draw up a plat-
form rest&ii ng fundamental prin-
ciples of 3\i aericanism as applied
to presemt day problems. The
Conference will discuss the ad-
yiews on current industrial and
political questions. From the
answers to this a tentative pro-
gram will be prepared to submit
to the coming conference.
France Buys U. S. Surplus
The Secretary of War has an-
nounced the sale to the French
government of $400,000,000 worth"
pf surplus U. S. army supplies in
France. Much difficulty attended
the sale of this property. .Certain
factions of the French Republic
were unwilling to see tfie. Ameri-
can material placed on the French
market while others were eager
to get hold of it. Material needled
by the army at home will be
brought back to the United States
and enough was saved for the
forces that still remain overseas.
