A despatch from Petrograd says' After a brief revolution in 'Petrograd, born of the united forces of the Duma and the army, Emperor Nicholas II. has abdicated and his younger brother, Grand Duke Michael, second son of Emperor Alexander III., has been ap- pointed regent. Representatives of the nation, head- ed by M. Rodzianko, President of the Duma, and a Provisional Government of twelve members, have .established a new order, The success of the revolution was made secure by the co-operation of the guard and regiments in Petrograd and active support given in Moscow. Alex. Protopopoff, head of the In- terior Department, ex -Premier Stiir mer and the other Ministers, as well. as the President of the Imperial Coun- cil, are under arrest. The sole survivor of the old regime is Pokiovsky, Minister of Foreign Af- fairs. The whole garrison of Petrograd has gone over to the Provisional Gov- ernment to the Daily Chronicle says the Em- press of Russia has been placedunder guard. New Provisional Government. A later despatch from Petrograd says: Emperor Nicholas abdicated at midnight on Thursday night on be- half of himself and the heir -appar- ent, Grand Duke Alexis, in favor of Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch. At 2.30 o'clock Friday afternoon Grand. Duke Michael himself abdicat- ed, thus bringing the Romanoff dy- nasty to an end. - The Government, pending a meeting of the Constitutional Assembly, is vested in the Eexcutive Committee of the Duma and the newly chosen Coun- cil of Minister. A manifesto to this effect was issued by the Duma Com- mittee on Friday, and it will be, tele- graphed to the general army head- quarters Friday evening. A despatch from London says: The new Provisional Government of Rus- sia, according to the latest despatches Famous Russian Guards Joined Duma. received here, is proceeding promptly One of the most impressive scene; to organize itself on a stable and of the revolution was the arrival of the Preobrajensky Guards, with their colonel and officers, at the Tauris Pal- ace.

A large number of the prin- cipal cities of the empire already have notified the executive committee strongly democratic basis to reconsti- tute the Governmental departments and to prepare steps for the vigorous carrying on of the war. There is no sign of any serious hindrance to the Catherine Hall, where the President of the Duma had come to greet them.

Grand Duke Michael left it to the constituent assembly to say whether he •becomes Emperor or Rus- sia becomes a republic. CZAR APPRECIATED SITUATION'S PERIL He Evidenced His Wisdom and Patriotism •by Laying Down Supreme Authority.. A despatch from London says: - The Times in an editorial on the RUS- sian revolution says: "A great re- volution has . been accomplished .in Russia. The Czar has abdicated in favor of his infent son. His brother, the Grand Duke Michael, is expected to act as regent. It has become clear for some time past that the strained relations between the Duma and the Court could not last.

The revolution is commented upon editorially here by other newspapers with enthusiasm, mainly as a great triumph for the Entente and a great disaster for she Central Powers. The press describes it as the death of German hopes and a more crushing and more far-reaching blow than Germany has et receeved.

NICHOLAS ROMANOFF LEAVES FOR THE CRIMEA Petrograd, March 18. -Nicholas Romanoff, as the former emperor is now designated, left with his staff to- day for his personal estates at Livadia, on the south coast of the Crimea.

A despatch, from London says: -- A wedding -ring maker in applying to West Hain tribunal for exemption from military service, said his firm is now doing an enormous trade. In answer to a question he said he con- sidered that the making of wedding - rings was a work of national import - awe. He was.ordered to enrol under the National Service scheme. WORK PEOPLE SUFFER ARE THREATENING TO REBEL Standard of Living Lower Than That of Coolies Urban Poor Have :Become Desperately Poor. A despatch from New York says:- "Wagesearning •Germana;s nerves have been worn raw by the increasing weight of suffering that the war has brought it. This class of Germans has become sullen, dissatisfied with the Government, almost rebellious, While the middle class remains intensely' patriotic, parading before the casual observer a • unified and determined Germany, the fatigue of war is mak- ing alarming strides among the work- ing people. A great many of these humble people want peace, at any price -at the price of their colonies, of Alsace-Lorraine, even of their country's prestige and position." This is the opinion of A. Curtis Roth, American Vice -Consul at Plau- en, in- Saxony, who has lived in close touch with 'the people since the begin- ning of the war. Having spent seven years in the teeming industrial Saxon district, intimately acquainted among all classes everywhere, and accepted as a friend; Mr. Roth has an unusually strong claim to an accurate knowledge of conditions there. He was, more- over,\a friendly observer, full of ad- miration and sympathy for those among whom` he lived. "The working people, at •least in Saxony, are becorn gig restive. They have hungered and grieved and over- worked for many months, with condi- tions steadily groyring worse, and with each promise of peace fading into an indefinite prospect of endur- ance. All foods but the very coarsest are beyond their means.' The ration of the coarse foods in insufficient. The poor have been subsisting throughout the fast year upon bread, potatoes, turnips and salt. "Pushed much farther by the gal- ling stress of starvation, overwork and loss of dear ones, a second peas- ants' war may well be added to the miseries of central Europe. "The standard of living among . the working people has been lowered fearfully. It is now on a par with the coolie standard of overcrowded Asia. Their work has increased; their share in clothes and foods and other creature comforts has diminished, and their amusements have entirely fallen away. The urban poor have be- come desperately poor, and they are beginning to realize that each added month of the war means that their plight must become more and more hopeless. "In the beginning all was excite- ment for the war, but in the formerly bustling manufacturing towns in my district, the streets were soon bare of traffic. •People passed about their errands silently. There was no laugh- ing, whistling, loud talking, or jovial greeting. The business streets were clotted everywhere by stores closed up ' by war. Grass grew between the cob- bles in the roadway. Now and again, oxen dragging primitive carts of farm produce lumbered through -the streets. Restaurants and cafes were deserted. It cost money to frequent them, and, moreover, they had nothing to sell." i Mr. Roth has just reached this country from Germany.

On Friday after- noon the Turks were in full flight to- wards Samara, 75 miles north-west of Bagdad The British statement follows: "In the fighting on Wednesday an the right bank of the Tigris, as al- ready reported, the Turkish rear- guard was driven from a succession of ridges to a strong position cover- ing the railway station at Mushadie. Our troops continued to attack the position during the night, and finally captured it at 3 o'clock on Thursday morning. • The enemy is retiring hastily, "Tho retreat continued during Thursday, and on Friday afternoon the whole enemy force, consisting of remnants of three Turkish divisions, was in full flight in the direction of Samara. On the morning of Friday the enemy were straggling over a dis- tance of 20 miles, with their rear 25 miles north of the scene of the fight- ing on Wednesday." FOR CARRYING LETTER NOT SENT BY MAIL American Sent to Jail for Three Months in England. A despatch from London says :- At the Thames Police Court John Robertshaw, an American citizen and a fireman, was charged with having in his possession a letter for transmis- sion otherwise than through the post He arrived on Sunday by a Norwegian ship laden with grain for bpain. The officer of the Customs questioned the prisoner, who produced the letter and said he was going to post it when he reached. Spain. The letter contained falsehoods and exaggerations and re- ferred to Zeppelin raids that never had taken place. The prisoner was sen- tenced to three months' imprisonment. OBJECTORS TO BE EMPLOYED IN AGRICULTURAL SCHEME A despatch from Plymouth, Eng- land, says: -The famous Dartmoor prisons' at Princetown, on the Prince of Wales Duchy estate, are to be emptied ,pf their convict inhabitants and timed over to the War Depart- ipent as barracks for regirrrent of conscientious objectors, who will be employed on some ambitious agricul- tural schemes' which the Prince of Wales is toinstitute on his property.

Internal conditions in Russia have long been known here, the newspaper adds, and it is said the Emperor in- formed the British Royal family that he anticipated some such happening, but was confident he could suppress it. The Manchester Guardian con- tinues "Sir. George Buchanan, the British Ambassador at Petrograd, has kept his Government well informed and has been throughout a staunch supporter or the Duma and the Liberal element. It is said Lord Milner urged the Em- peror to appoint a Ministry respons- ible to Parliament, although this was more than the Duma had asked for. The Emperor rejected the proposal on the ground that it did not harmonize with Russian institutions and could not be worked by so politically unripe a people. "Viscount Milner then proposed that the Emperor appoint a Ministry ac- ceptable to the Duma, suggesting Ser- gius Sazoneff (now Ambassador at London) for Premier and Foreign Sec- retary. This proposal also was re- jected, Lord Milner made other sug- gestions and also held conferences with various leaders of Russian opin. ion in the hope of working out some scheme that would avert a revolution- ary outbreak. Every effort was shat- tered by the obduracy of the Emperor, Oat- - "It is notable that the outbreak promptly followed Lord Milucr's re- turn from Russia. His .failure was generally understood to mean that nothing could be hoped from the Em- peror, and that the people must work• out their own salvation." ;a MAY MODIFY EMBARGO ON FRESH FRUITS A despatch from Ottawa says:-. That there may still . be a possibility of modification of the order prohibit- ing the importation of fresh fruits, other than bitter oranges and lemons, into Great Britain is indicated by a cable message received by the Gov- el'nnlent here from the Colonial Office. The message is to the effect that the prohibition of fruit imports into the United Kingdom is still under consid- eration. Ili the meanwhile,. it 'states, it has been decided that overseas sup- plies of fruit for the navy, including gifts from British dominions, should be allowed to be continued in spite of t . prohibition.
