SEEKERS OF THRONES
CALL ON HIGH HEAVEN
TO SUPPORT CLAIMS
COBURG, Germany, Feb. 6.—Mysti
cism and the alleged manifestations
of Heaven figure so extensively in
the communiques of rival claimants
for the Russian throne, a throne
which no longer exists, that central
and western Europe generally regard
the family row of the Romanoffs as
an uncanny and useless performance.
Since his original manifesto declar
ing himself the rightful czar of all
the Russias, Grand Duke Cyril has re
mained silent in his Coburg villa, and
there are indications that he and his
supporters will keep the Russian
court and its doing well under cover
because of the Communist efforts to
have the self-styled szar expelled
from republican Germany.
There is something so fatalistic and
Asiatic in all the actions of the Ro
manoffs that liberalminded people of
the west cannot take them serious
ly. Even the aged Marie Feororovna,
mother of the murdered Czar Nich
jolas, Danish princess though she be
| and sister of Alexandra, England’s j
: queen dowager, rounds this same j
! note. She has never believed her'
| son is dead and, in denying the:
! claims of all successors, especially!
j of Grand Duke Cyril, she talks of
, the divine rights of rulers as if the
‘j world were plunged back into the
, Middle Ages.
i It is the “hand of God" which mov
ed Cyril to proclaim himself the ful
ler of all the Russias, if one is to be
lli •ve the statements of this, Homan
I off, whose manifesto sounds no more
'modern than the documents of Ivan
l the Terrible. His supporters, of
j whom his wife, who has recently
jbeen in the United States, seems
to be far tlie most active, would have
one believe it was divine providence
which saved Cyril from drowning
when his ship was destroyed in Pa
cific waters during the Russo-Japan
ese war that he might eventually
take over the Russian throne.
But the monarchists among the
Russian exiles who are supporting
the claim of Grand Duke Nicholas
Nicholavitch, are not at all inclined
to admit that divine providence ever
had anythng to do with Cyril, and
adduce scores of reasons in their
brochures why nobody should pay any
attention to such a pretender. On
the other hand they have proofs
which are entirely satisfying to them
that Heaven has designated Nicholas
Nicholavtch to sit upon the throne
which nearly everybody in the world
except the old Russan monarchist,
has forgotten.
The old omciais aDoui me czar s
court, arid the fragments of Russian
royalty, find it difficult to divorce
themselves fro mthe idea of imperial
Russia, and a few of them find their
way to Grand Duke Cyril to talk
things over.
i Cyril lives in a villa just across the
I street from the house that shelters
| ex-King Ferdinand of Bulgaria. In
i an old-fashioned market square in
| the center of the provincal town of
; 30,000, which s still living back in
j pre-war days and is apparently in al
! most complete oblivion to the chang
es the world has undergone in the
last 11 years, stands a statue of
Prince Albert, the husband of the
Late Queen Victoria, whose marriage
to the English queen resulted in
Saxe-Coburg Gotha becoming aligned
with practically all the ruling famil
! ies of Europe.
There is reaction in the air at Co
burg. Wakner is played at the opera
and films from the Wagner operas
are shown at the moving picture
! house. It is an ideal place for Cy
ril and Ferdinand and the rest of the
| dislodged royalty which has taken
refuge here, here are lew industries
and consequently little to upset the
j medieval quiet of the well-improved
; village above which hovers the Co
burg Veste, a magnificent Gothic for
tified castle which houses marvellous
collections of arms and armor borne
by German princes in the Crusades.
Parsifal would be quite at home in
Coburg, if it were possible for the
! young knight to take on human form.
Theie is a make-believe atmosphere
about the place. It is unreal to visit
ors from centers where the modern
spirit prevails. The big motor cars
of ex-King Ferdinand and Grand
Duke Cyril are the * most discord
ant note. These men should ride
on armored horses if they wish to
fit into the picture and keep in har
mony with the spirit which they are
! endeavoring to perpetuate.
Elks’ Paradise Planned
By Izaak Walton League
ROCK SPRINGS, Feb. 7.—'Trans
formation of the Jackson Hole coun
try of western Wyoming from a vir
tual graveyard into a winter paradise
for elk of the Yellowstone National
Park region is the plan of the Izaak
Walton league of America, according
to announcement by the local branch
of the organization. Each year, many
hundreds and even thousands of elk
perish because of lack of food and
it is the aim of the league to remedy
this situation.
In conjunction with the United
States biological survey, report to the
local members said, the organization
has obtained options on several ranch
es and they will be taken over this
spring and turned into winter elk
refuges.
It is estimated $100,000 will be re
quired to carry out the full program
and the money is to be raised by
subscriptions from the league’s 89,
000 members throughout the United
States.
As the ranches are purchased the
league will seek to have the grazing
rights complementary to the ranches
set aside for fall feeding grounds and
later on it is hoped to have congress
enact legislation closing the Hole
country to homestead entry. It is
the claim of the league that it is
not a profitable ranching region.
The snows, which fall early on the
mountains forming the summer range
for the elk, drive these animals down
to lower altitudes, which formerly
were lush with swamp grass and mea
dows. Now it is pointed out, these,
fall pastures are grazed over by cattle
and sheep with the result that the
ilk have nothing left and starve.
The biological survey now operates
one winter feeding ranch and it is
estimated thousands of elk are taken
care of each year.
The Jackson Hole country in fron
tier days, was famed as the rendez
vous of outlaws and much is said
about ii in writings of the early west.
