IDRTURE

BEHIND THE SCENES

With Rulers and Leaders of Wartime Europe

By the Princess Radziwill

tiii: phovinci; or (oi hiand. People are talking a lot about C'.uihtnd and the Russian Raltic ir"inie.s on acrount of the dcterii ination recently expressed by fltrrnany to annex them. The kaiser and hi.s satt ' : ? d c 1 a r i n s that ' KL the se provinces man in their sympathies, and that their only desire is to be reunited to the empire whiih claims them. Nothing could be further from S Prince Iladiwill. the truth than this assertion. It is only the laritc land owners, those one calls in Russia the Raltic barons, who have any affection for Prussia. Tin Do I ii of the Letts. The population of Courlani is, and always was, mite Russian in its sympathies and has never wished to be separated from the Russian empire. This population is not at all Ierman, but Rett, and the only tiling which the Letts crave is their autonomy under Russian protection. They all hate the (lennan nobles who have constantly tyrannized over them and who conquered them in past aes that is, in the loth century when they were subdued and converted to Christianity by the "Urethren of the .Sword," a German military order. In l'JUT Courland passed under the domination of the "Teutonic Knights." owinjc to the amalgamation of this order with that of the "Urethren of the Sword." At that time it comprised the two duchies of Courland and Semjiallen. Under the Increasing pressure of Russia, the "Teutonic Knights." in 1361, found it expedient to put themselves under the suzerainty of Poland, their urand master, Gotthard Kettler, becoming the lirst duke of Courland. The duchy suffered severely in the Russo-Swedish wars of 1700-09. Rut by the marriage in 1710 of Kettler's de.-vendant, Duke Frederick William, to the Princess Anne, niece ot Peter the Great, and afterward empress of Russia. Courland came into close relations with the latter state, Anne beincr duche.-s of Courland from 1711 to 170, when she became a widow. The last Kettler, William, titular duke of Courland, died in 17::7. when the Rm press Anne seized the duchy and bestowed it upon her favorite, the stable boy Riren, who held it from 17:57 to 1740, when he was exiled to Siberia by the successor of Anne, iwan VI, or rather by the latter's mother, Anne Leopoldowna. who was recent during his minority. Tlie "Stable Roy Riivii." Th " - Riren was a most extraordinary personage, and it was after him the favorites of the Russian sovereign were called "Wremienschik," which usually means the man of the moment. His good looks had attracted the attention of the duchess of Courland. who, when she became empress of Russia, made hini her threat chamberlain, created him a count, and at last transformed, him into a duke of Courland. lie had the insolence to adopt the arms of the I Yen h Dural House of Riron, and to declare himself a member of it. notwithstanding the fact that eety one knew his German origin. i:orhody in Russia detested him. because he was not only mean, but ; i treacherous, rapacious and horrildy indictie. He made millions, ih.'.nks to Iiis exactions, which were as extcnsio in Russia as later on in 'na rland. w here he kept a sumptuous court, the magnificence of which astonished all the foreigners v ho wa r admitted to it. The diamonds with which he loaded his wife, a I rau lein von Treiden, were the uiy of. the Princess Rlizabeth. the daughter of Peter the Great, who was later on to become the empress of that name. After the death of Anne, Riren. who had been appointed recent of the Russian empire by her will, was dispossessed by the council of state, tried and condemned to death, a sent v e which ultimately was chunked to lifelong exile in Siberia. His ast properties, including the duchy of Courland. were confiscated, a ral he w as reduced almost to penury. Hut with the adent of Catherine II Iiis position charmed for the better, and he was reinstated by her in his duchy of Courland in 17U. No one was eer able to ijuess why, as he was a!iady so old that one i oub! not admit the empress ever allowed him to occupy the place of one of her favorites. He died in Milan in 1 7 7 and left the duchy of Courland to his son Peter. Rut the latter could not preserve it from f. rcicn invasion. and the country became a shuttlecock between Russia and Poland until eventually in the meanwhile dispossessed Peter, sent bin; into exile and placed the d.ahy under the Russian scepter, which had kept it ever since. luke Peter retired to his castle of Safari in Silesia. which he had -Vicht from the heirs of the famous W.i!!en!tin. and was freU.untly seen at the Rerlin court. It was in th it town he died, in a house which was afterward bought by the C.:ar Nicholas . which was until the eciunmg of the present war ot-. upied by the Russian emlass-y. and which constitutes perhaps the ! .st ! ;t of personal property which is left to Nicholas II. after the con- :. sc, it ion of his fortune by the new Russian co rnmcr.t. Under Ru-ian Kult. Courland. under Russian rule, de-

veloped extremely well, and. in spite of its bad climate, is one of tlie most fertile provinces of the former empire. The czars favored the Lett population, and in IS;.", laws were passed which enabled the people to acquire the farms held by the aristocracy, and special hanks were founded to help them to do so. Rut the antagonism which this measure provoked on the part of the Ger-

rnan nobles, who were all large land owners, brought about much trouble in the province. The Itts, however, remained faithful to the czar5, and when at the beginning of the r.resont war the German occupied ! Mi tau the first time, it was some Rett regiments who drove them out of it. In the duma the Lett deputies constantly advocated autonomy, but not separation for Courland. and they repeated continually that the one thing which their constituents dreaded was to be annexed by Germany. Indeed. Just before the revolution broke out, a Lett of great prominence in his country, who had I been a deputy in the Jlrst duma, and who is also a prominent lawyer in Mitau as well as in Petrograd, a certain Mr. Tchakste, was about to come to the United States to hold a course of lectures, in. which he wanted to explain all the reasons which cause the Germans to be so intensely detested by the Lett population in Courland. U-Boat Captain's Threats Fail to Move S. Officer AN ATLANTIC PORT, I'eb. 12. Capt. William Johnson and live other officers and the 1!U bluejackets who made up the gun crew of the American steamship Actaeon, torpedoed off the coast of Spain last Thanksgiving night, arrived here Monday. Thirty-five members of the crew were left in Spain, but will be returned to the United States as soon as a ship is available. Capt. Johnson, whose home is in California, said that his ship wits torpedoed without warning at 7 o'clock. Within two minutes water reached the engine room and the lights went out. He immediately ordered the men into the four boats, and they put off separating for fear of being shelled .by the submarine, which to this time, no one had seen. Capt. Johnson's boat reached Camarinas, Spain, two days later and within three days two other boats had landed. The boat commanded by Engineer John Murphy was 12 days at sea before it was picked uj by a Spanish ship. The men suffered severely from hunger and cold, and four of them died. Arthur H. P.ordley of Baltimore, the third officer, commanded a boat in which were 10 men. They pulled away from the sinking ship, and in a few minutes came up alongside the submarine which turned a searchlight upon them. Rordley was ordered, in perfect English, to take six of his men on board the underwater boat. lie was taken below and closely questioned concerning the land and naval forces of the United States; while a half dozen seamen from the submarine made repeated trips to the sinking Actaeon and curried away all nautical instruments and such stores as they wanted. The submarine captain, Rordley declared, served him with wine and cisarets while questioning; him and when he refused all information threatened to keep him a prisoner on the submarine. When Rordley persisted in his refusal the captain dismissed him and his boat was pushed off. GREEK PRINCE TO WED MRS. WILLIAM B. LEEDS LONDON, Feb. 12. Mrs. William R. Leeds. a wealthy American widow, and Prince Christopher of Greece, according to the Daily Sketch have been quietly married in Switzerland, where Mrs. Leeds has been stopping for a time with a hon who is in delicate health.

Heatless Monday Holidays Over Says Garfield

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. Tndicaj tions Monday night were that Mon day was the last of the heatless Mondays. Fuel Admr. Garfield expects to suspend tho closing order Tuesday night in view of better weather and improved railroad traffic condition's. Reports during the day to the director general of railroads show that traffic conditions are improving rapidly, despite floods in many parts of the country. Coal mines arc receiving empty cars in larger number than for weeks past and loaded cars are moving to their destinations. The fuel administration order giving preference in distribution to household consumers, ships, public utilities and preferred war industries consequently is just now really becoming effective. The fuel administration is planning to prevent a recurrence of the recent situation in which domestic consumers throughout the east found themselves unable to obtain fuel supplies. L. A. Snead. who has been in charge of distribution, was named Monday as assistant to Dr. Garfield and will make a tour of the country, conferring with local fuel committees and officials on arrangements to take tare of domestic needs. Mr. Snead will inquire also into retail prices and will assist the local committees in arriving at a basis for fixing" pices. The administration plans to create reserve supplies of coal in all the consuming centers to be used to meet any emergency that may arrive through breakdown in transportation or from other causes. "The intention of the fuel administration," said Dr. Garfield Monday night, "is to see that the domestic consumer is able to obtain coal and that he gets the full benelit of the prices tixed by the -government.'' As soon as weather conditions permit, the Rock Run mills will start the erection of a two-story brick building 30 feet long, 70 feet wide and located at the west end of the plant. Lockwood, Greene & Co., Roston architects, have designed the structure and the contract for building it has been awarded to Isaac W. Miller of this city. Machinery has been purchased which will give the mills 30 per cent more capacity in the carding and spinning department. About 2 50 persons arc now given steady employment at the enterprise, which is engaged on government contracts. chick fa Tim:r taken. Pern Iandon, 1G years old. was arrested on n charge of stealing chickens from the coop of Samuel Osborne. When arraigned in Justice Fryberger's court Luidon entered a plea of not guilty and was released under $200 bond. It is stated that Landon was implicated in poultry thefts with Karl Eckenrode, who was taken into custody. REMOVED TO HOSPITAL. Miss Cora R.
