The Grand Duchess Cyril, of Russia, had hardly arrived in New York
on her recent visit to the United States, when she succumbed to the cross
! word puzzle mania. TheDuchess is the wife of the Grand Duke Cyril
I Valdimirovitch, who recently proclaimed himself “Czar Cyril I, Emperor
of All the Russias.” The Grand Duchess Victoria Feodorovna, Grand
| Duchess Cyril, of Russia, is a daughter of the late Admiral of the Fleet,
| the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, who became first Duke of Edinburgh in
; the British peerage, and of the Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrovna, only
daughter of Czar Alexander II, of Russia. She is thus a granddaughter
1 of Queen Victoria, a sister of Queen Marie, of Rumania, and a first cousin
of King George of England.

New York Digging Its
Way Out of Deep Snow
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.—The 11 and
a half inches of snow which covers
| the metropolis today will cost the city
; $1,500,000 to remove, it was estimated
j tonight. A rise in temperature caused
: the streets to become deep in slush,
! which greatly slowed up traffic.
During the day the force of muni*
| cipal snow shovelers was increased to
20,000 with 1400 trucks and 417 snow
plows.
Steamers delayed their' sailings four
hours to accommodate passengers held
up by the storm. The pier passengers
had to walk the last stretch to the
i boats and in many instances had to
! carry their own seamer trunks or drag
1 them by ropes like sleds. Several
! passengers became so disheartened
they pitched their trunks into drifts
and abandoned them. They were la
! ter gathered up and delivered to their
steamers by tugs in the harbor.
Eight passengers were left behind
because they refused to face the slop
py pavements afoot.
Five persons died in the city area
due to the storm.
