I Grand Duke Nicholas is report a Iieuter dispatch from Petrograd to have readied the Russian capital, lispatch says that he will proba ike command of the troops. Czar Gives Up Throne. London, March 19. Czar Nicholas has abdicated the throne of Russia. The czar abdicated in favor of his young son. A dispatch to the London Chronicle from I'etro.srad on Thursday says the ress of Russia has been placed un- der piard. According to information received here the Russian people have been must distrustful during recent events of the personal influence of Empress Alrxnndra. She was supposed to ex ercise the greatest influence over Em peror Nicholas. The Empress Alexandra, before her marriage to the emperor of Russia in 1S94, was the German Princess Alix of H.sse-Darmstadt. A popular revolution has been sue- - ;il and the government of Russia r--sts temporarily with a self-appointed committee of the duina. After three days of battle, in which tin- majority of the 30,000 troops in Petrograd niutiuied and supported the revolutionists, calm has returned. (irand Enike Michael Alexandro vitch. brother of the czar, has been Hppointed regent. The czar's abdication was in com pliance with the urgent demand of the eommittee of the duma which notified him that upon his assent depended lie fate of the dynasty. Troops Back the Duma. Telegraphing from Petrograd Wed nesday, Reuter's correspondent says Kronstadt, the fortress and great na val station at the head. of the Gulf of Finland, 20 miles west of Petrograd, has joined the revolutionary move ment. Two ueputies, Pepelauff and Taskine. on instructions from the du ma committee, proceeded to Kron stadt, where the troops placed them selves at the disposal of the duma. The Copenhagen Ekstrabladet re igns that the Russian consul in Hapa randa, Sweden, says that former Pre mier Stunner and Minister of the In terior Protopopoff were killed in Petro--rad. Both were charged with pro German sympathies. New Cabinet Announced. A new national cabinet is announced, with Prince Lvoff as president of the council and premier, and the other of fices held by the men who are close to the Russian people. The members of the new national cabinet are announced as follows: I'remier, President of the Council and Minister of the Interior Prince Georges E. Lvoff. foreign Minister Prof. Paul N. Milioukoff. Minister of Public Instruction Pro fessor Manulloff of Moscow university. Minister of War and Navy, ad in terim a. J. Gucbkoff, formerly presi dent of the duma. Minister of Agriculture M.

Telegrams 'generals commanding at the vari routs have displayed an astonish ( unanimity of support of the new btrnonstrations against the govern ment have been frequent during the last few weeks. The attempted pro roguing of the duma fanned the fires, which spread rapidly from class to class and from civilians to troops. Sunday it broke forth in flame Panic-stricken, the government or dered the mounted patrols to fire on the people. The patrols refused, and a battle between the police and the troops followed, regiment after regi ment joining the revolutionists, seizing arsenals, burning prisons and jails arsenals, burning prisons and jails and throwing the heads of the secret police into prison. For three days open battle raged in the streets of Petrograd. Strikes in factories and on street cars were called in sympathy with the revolu tion. Wednesday the week's nightmare of revolution ended more suddenly than it had begun. Planks were pulled from windows, doors were unbarred, factories, stores and banks reopened. The only evidence that a revolution had been fought and won was the smoldering ruins of a few public buildings. The cost in life is unknown. It is believed, however, th'at it did not exceed 500. Magical and sudden as was the transition from the old to the new, it is believed here that its results will be almost immediately visible in the in stitution by the new Russia of a more vigorous and efficient prosecution of the war against Germany. The duma telegraphed the principal generals at the front to use their influ ence with Emperor Nicholas in sup port, of the duina's appeal for a popu lar government, says Reuter's Petro grad correspondent. General Brussiloff, commander in chief of the armies on the southwest ern front, replied : "Your telegram received. I have fulfilled my duty to my emperor and my country." Gen. Nicholas V. Ruzsky, member of the supreme military council, replied: "I have carried out your request." M. Rodzianko, president of the duma, sent the following telegram to Emperor Nicholas : "The situation is becoming worse. Measures must be taken immediately, for tomorrow it may be too late. The hour has arrived when the fate of the country and of the dynasty is being decided." M. Chtchegiovitoff, president of the council of empire, was arrested in his home and temporarily held in the min isterial room of the duma. A telegram received by the naval attache of the Russian embassy in Paris reported that the railways and public services in Petrograd had re sumed work. The revolution, which evidently was carefully prepared, broke out simul taneously in Petrograd and Moscow. The garrisons, which obeyed the in structions of the revolutionaries, im mediately took possession of these cities after comparatively little fight ing and equally small amount of de struction of property. Petrograd Bridge Blown Up. In Petrograd one bridge was blown up. Strict military rule prevails and the army has the situation so well in hand that it is not expected adherents of the late government will be able to offer any serious resistance, even in remote provinces. After receiving word of the revolu tion, it is reported. Emperor Nicholas returned to the palace, where he ar rived on Wednesday. The following details of the revolu tion have been given to the press from a source usually well informed on Russian affairs: "The soldiers refused to act against the crowd which started trouble when it heard of the ukase issued by Em peror Nicholas proroguing the duma. On Sunday the committee which had met to discuss the food situation was partly transformed into a provisional government under the presidency of President Rodzianko of the duma and included representatives of the duma council of the empire and of the municipality. The garrison agreed to support the provisional government." Papers Fail to Appear. Newspapers, with the exception of revolutionary publications which sprang into life with the success of the revolt, had failed to appear. Street car service at noon had not been resumed, but it was believed that night would see partial service. The government was declared to be overthrown by the duma leaders, who met in the Maveritchisky palace after the regular session had been adjourned by imperial ukase, and in a telegram to the emperor the popular represent atives declared that a special commit tee composed of the leaders of the various parties in the duma, would submit a list of names for the new cabinet. The imperial palace at Tsarskoe Selo is said to be in a state of siege, but thus far no fire has been report ed between the guards defending the palace and the revolutionists and troops. It is stated that General Michael V. Alexieff, former chief of staff, has been offered the military dictatorship. Two Statesmen Killed. Stockholm, March 19. Passengers arriving at Haparanda, Sweden, with hospital train reported that two men of prominence in Petrograd had been murdered. One of them was said to have been Alexander D. Protopopoff, minister of the interior, and the other was be lieved to be Boris Sturmer, former premier. The old Russian government, it is alleged, tried to bring. troops to Pe trograd from Finland to save the situ ation, but the troops refused to go. Helsingfors is declared, to be in a state of siege. - ' . . VIRTUALLY II STATE OF WAR BETWEEN U. S. PRESIDENT IS CONTEMPLATING CALL FOR IMMEDIATE SES SION OF CONGRESS. NATION IS FACE TO FACE WITH DEFINITE WAR POLICY ll the Conditions as Aut ined By President in His Message Announc ing Break With Germany as Lead ing to State of Armed Neutrality Have Now Been Fulfilled. Washington. With the announce ment of the ruthless destruction of three unarmed American merchant ships by submarines, it was unofficial ly admitted here that virtually a state of war exists between the United States and Germany. Technically the United States ra mains in a position of armed neutral ity. Whether this shall be changed oefore April 16. the date fixed for a spcial session of Congress, the war making branch of the Government, President Wilson has not decided. , One step the President is contem plating is a call for an immediate ses sion of Congress to hear an address asking for authority to adopt aggres- ! sive measures against the submarine menace. Already American ships are being armed to defend themselves. The next move must be to send warships with orders to seek out submarines and clear the trans-Atlantic lanes. Some of the highest officials of the Government hold that the Executive has the power to declare that a state of war exists and to proceed with ag gressive protective steps pending the assembling of Congress. There is no indication, however, that the Presi dent will follow that course. Of the three ships destroyed, two were unloaded and homeward bound, and all were American-built, American-owned and officered, and manned largely by American citizens. Meager dispatches Indicate that all were sunk with complete disregard for the safety of those on board, and that many of the crew may have been lost. Nation Face to Face With Definite War Policy. New developments brought the Gov ernment fact to face with the problem of formulating a definite policy for the Nation in case the United Stat5 act ually enters the war. This possibility was mentioned by the President in his inaugural address March 5. All of the conditions outlined by the President in his message announcing the diplomatic break with Germany as leading to a state of armed neutrality have now been fulfilled. The "overt act" described by him then has actual ly come if in fact it had not been com mitted when the President went be fore Congress. Since then he has established a state of armed neutrality" without the specific authority of Con gress. President Wilson was out automob iling when the first Associated Press dispatches telling of the disasters came in quick succession. Through Secretary Tumulty he was given all available facts immediately on his re turn. Several hours later official reports came from Consul Frost at Queens town and Consul General Skinner at London, telling of the sinking of the City of Memphis, the Vigilancia and the Illionis. These dispatches con firmed press reports but added few details. International lawyers and constitu ;ional experts here showed no nesi tancy in saying that President Wilson has full authority to interpret as an act of war, an announce that the coun try considers that an actual state of war exists by reason of Germany's flagrant assault on American ship ping. Such action would be subject to the approval of Congress. Despite the unwarned sinking of big passenger liners like the California and the Laconia, the jeopardizing of Americans on nearly . score of other vessels, and the sinking of three oth er American ships, Ihe Housatanic, the Lyman M. Law. and the Algonquin since the unrestricted warfare began, some officials, inspired by the Presi dent's announced reluctance to believe that Germany would carry through her threat, have clung desperately to the hope that some slight respect for interational law might still be shown. German sea warfare may fairly be stated, however, to have surpassed even the most pessimistic forecasts here. That she actually means to send every vessel to the botoom that dares to venture within her forbidden zones is now accepted as a fact. Neu tral, passenger, Belgian relief, appear to be all in the same category. Practically Certain to Become Involved With the practical certainty that this country will become involved in hostilities with Germany, officials are scanning thi war news with the clos fcf sci unity. AND GERMANY BIG STRIKE HAS BEEN CALLED OFF PRESIDENT'S MEDIATION HOARD BRING ABOUT SATISFACTORY AGREEMENT. GREAT CALAMITY IS AVERTED Settlement Early Monday Morning Nullifies Order for Four Hundred Thousand Trainmen to Walk Out. New YOrk. An official of the con ference committee of railroad mana gers announced at 12:45 o'clock Mon day morning that the railroad strike was off. , , A few minutes after the announce ment wa smade, the railroad mana gers went from the Grand Central Ter minal to the conference hotel and were joined immediately by the medi ators. They refused to make any state ment on the way to the meeting room. It was presumed the announcement would be made through Secretary Lane- The mediators and managers were believed to be awaiting the arrival of the brotherhood chiefs, who had re tired, before making the announce ment that the strike had been averted. The brotherhood men arrived at the hotel at 1:20 o'clock and immediate ly went to the conference room. The managers left the conference room at 3o' clock, but the brotherhood chiefs remained in conference with the mediators. It was learned that Daniel Willard, one of the mediators had in formed the hotel management that he would give up his rooms. Statement by Lane. The managers, headed by Elisha Lee, returned to the conference room at 2:30 and Secretary Lane sent for the newspapermen. Secretary Lane issued this statement: "Regardless of the decision of the Supreme Court on the Adamson law the basic eight-hour day will go into effect." "The details are being worked up on by a joint committee which will have its negotiations completed by noon," Mr. Lane said. The conference committee of rail road managers early this morning authorized President Wilson's media tors to make whatever arrangements were necessary with the railroad brotherhoods to call off the threatened strike. The formal letter in which this au thorization was made signed by Elisha Lee, chairman of the managers' com mittee, was as follows: "In the national crisis precipitated by events of which we heard this after noon, the national conference commit tee of railroads joins with you in the conviction that neither at home nor abroad should there be fear or hope that the efficient operation of the rail roads of this country will be hamper ed or impaired. "Therefore you are authorized to assure the nation there will be no strike, and as a basis for such assur ance, we hereby authorize the com mittee of the Council of National De fense to grant the employes who are about to strike whatever adjustment your commitee deems necessary to guarantee uninterrupted and efficient operation of the railroads as an indis pensable arm of national defense." The decision reached by the mana gers at their midnight conference means that the brotherhoods have won an important victory, although it does not bring them all their origi nal demands. By the agreement, it is assumed they will be awarded pro rata time for overtime on the basic eight-hour day which they have been assured- THREE AMERICAN VESSELS SUNK BY SUBMARINES. City of Memphis, Vigilancia and Illi nois Are Sent to Bottom. London. The sinking of the Ameri can steamers City of Memphis, Illinois and Vigilancia was announced. Four teen men from the Vigilancia are miss ing, as are some of the men from the City of Memphis. The crew of the Illinois was landed safely. The City of Memphis, in ballast from Cardiff to New York, was sunk by gunfire. The second officer and fifteen men of the crew have been landed. A patrol-boat has gone in search of the other members of the crew. The Illinois, from London for Fort Arthur, Texas, in ballast, was sunk at 8 o'clock Sunday morning. The Vigilancia was torpedoed with out warning. The submarine did not appear. The captain, first and second mates, first, second and third engi neers and 23 men of the crew have been landed at the Scilly Islands. The fourth engineer, 13 men are missing. IMMENSE GAINS ARE MADE BY FRENCH TROOPS. Paris. The advance of the French troops continues between the Avre and the Eine along a front. 67 kilometers (about 37 miles) according to the of ficial communication issued by the War Office. French cavalry entered Nesle. In the direction of Ham, oh the Somme River, the French forward movement reached a depth of 12 1-2 miles. North of Soissons the French have occupied Crouey, Carlepont, Mor sam, and Nouvron Vingre. OF; MOST ALL OF THE 1,400 PRESI- DENTIAL NOMINATIONS WERE CONFIRMED. - COLOMBIAN TREATY FAILED Treaty Was Unexpectedly Withdrawn on Motion of Chairman Stone Sub stiute Pact Will Be Submitted at Extra Session. Washington. The special Senate session which began March 5 adjourn ed sine die after Democratic leaders had secured confirmation of most of the 1,400 nominations which failed at the last session, and had despaired of attaining ratification of the $25,000,000 Colombian treaty. The treaty was. unexpectedly with drawn on motion of Chairman Stone of the Foreign Relations Committee. Its provisions for payment of indem nity to Colombia for the partition of Panama and its expression of regret for the ill-feeling arising out of that incident had encountered stubborn Republican opposition which convinc ed the Democrats there was no chance of ratification. It is expected a sub stitute pact will be submitted during the extra sesion of Congress beginning April 16. The session just closed was the first of its kind in many years which was not called upon to confirm a cabinet nomination. President Wilson decided that all of the members of his official family could be retained with out the formality of renomination. Among the hundreds of nomina tions confirmed, only one met with pronounced opposition. It was that of Dr. Cary T. Grayson, the president's naval aide and physician, to be a rear admiral. No action was taken on the nominations for the tariff commission made this week. The outstanding achievement of the session was the senate's quick re sponse to President Wilson's plea for a change in rule to limit debate and prevent in the future, such filibusters as that which killed the armed neu trality bill. PRESIDENT WILS MAKES APPEAL TO PREVENT STRIKE "Country's Safety Makes Settlement Ifperative." President's Appeal to Prevent Railroad Strike. Washington. President Wilson late Friday sent a personal appeal to the representatives of the two sides in the railroad controversy urging that they do everything posible to co-operate with the mediation committee. The President's appeal follows: "I deem it my duty and right to ap peal to you in this time of national peril to open again the questions at issue between the railroads and theii operatives with a view to accommo dation or settlement. "With my approval, a committee of the Council of National Defense is about to seek a conference with you with that end in view. "A general interruption of the rail way traffic of the country at this time would entail a danger to the nation against which I have the right to enter my most solemn and earnest protest. "It is now the duty of every patrio tic man to bring matters of this sort to immediate accommodation. The safety of the country against manifest perils affecting its own peace and the peace of the whole world makes ac- I commodation absolutely imperative, j and seems to me to render any other j choice or action inconceivable." The President's message was sent to Elisha Lee. chairman of the confer ence commitee of railroad managers; L. E. Sheppard, acting head of the conductors; W. G. Lee, head of the trainmen; W. S. Stone, grand chief of the engineers, and W. S. Carter, president of the firemen and engine men. The President is confident there will be no strike. However, he al ready is considering what may be done if his appeal to the patriotism of the men involved is futile. NEW ALIGNMENT RUMORS AFLOAT IN MEXICO El Paso, Tex. Reports of a new political alignment in Mexico, with General Obregon leading the" opposi tion to First Chief Carranza which were brought- to Juarez by Mexican and foreign refugees from the inte rior, were defined by Carranza offi cials. They said General Obregon was loyal to the first chief and that his retirement from the cabinet several days ago was due to ill health and not because of any political differences. FORMAL NOTIFICATlftN SENT TO CARRANZA Washington. The United States sent to General Carrahza a formal no tification tbat it cannot participate in his proposed pan-American concert to cut off munition and food shipments to the European belligerents with a vew to forcing peace.. The reply is under stood to point out that such a move would have no justification In interna tional law. It is going forward through Ambassador Fletcher, at Mex ico City. SPECIAL SENATE SESSION 0 GERARD REPORTS TO STATE DEPARTMENT EVERY EVIDENCE THAT GER- MANY FULLY INTENEDED TO CARRY OUT CAMPAIGN. PEACE TALK IS ABANDONED Germany Considered Consequences Before Proclaming Campaign. Food Situation in Germany Serious But Not Necessarily Critical. Washington. Former Ambassador Gerard, fresh from Berlin,' reported to the State Department that when he left there was every evidence that Ger many fully intended carrying out her ruthless submarine campaign, regard less of the prospect of war with the .United States, and that talk of peace had been abandoned. The former Ambassador did not see President Wilson because the Presi dent still is confined to his room, but he conferred at length with both Sec retary Lar.sing and Counselor Polk, and went over with them in detail events leading to the break in diplo matic relations between Germany and the United States. Mr. Gerard reported that German officials apparently considered the ef fects and consequences of submarine ruthlessness before proclaiming it, and so far as he could learn, were confident of its success. When he left Berlin, however, the campaign was only in its second week, and the Ger mans were still predicting the destruc tion of a million tons of shipping a month, the amount admitted by Teu tonic experts to be essential for an effective starvation blockade of Eng land. Since then, however, the aver age destruction has been below half that. Food conditions in Germany when Mr. Gerrard's party left were reported as seriousbut not necessarily critical. This question is looked upon by the American Government as very import ant because of its bearing upon the possibility of further peace moves by Germany in the near future. The former Ambassador arrived here from Key West shortly after noon and was met at the station by a group of officials, including Counselor Polk and Assistant Secretary Philips, of the State Department, Secretary McAdoo, Secretary Tumulty and Senator Hughes, of New Jersey. A formal statement was g'ven out by Mr. Ge rard saying he would make his report to the Government and would not talk for publication. During the re mainder of the day and night, he held to this determination He remained over here night and went to New York in time for a formal reception tendered hi mthere Friday. The report made by the former Am bassador to tha State Department was understood to deal particularly with the treatment accorded himself and other Americans following the break in diplomatic relations, the efforts of the German Government to get him. to reaffirm the old treaty of 1828, with extensive changes, the general atti trde of the German Government and public towards submarine warfare, peace, and relations with the United States, and conditions in Germany. Unusual Activity. The Department presented a scene of unusual activity with the many r turning diplomats who accompanied Mr. Gerard reporting to their super iors. Some of them will be kept at the Department and others will be given new posts. While officials are extremely anx ious to learn the personal opinions of men fresh from Germany, there is not the slightest disposition to feel that the international situation can be affected in any way at this time. Germany is believed to have shown herself in the. series of sinklings, such as the Laconia, the California and many others, including the American steamship Algonqu.n, reported sunk without warning, to be utterly unmind ful of the country's rights or Its pos sible participation in the war. Regarding food conditions, one of the best observers who has reported to the State Departments in months, said that 20,000,000 people directly connected with the Army or Govern ment, another 20,000,000 people in the rural population, and about 8 000;000 wealthy people, are well fed, but that the balance, about 20,00,000, are in a serious plight. The arrival of Mr. Garard revived reports that he would be a candidate for mayor of New York next fall or that he would be sent to Tokio to succeed the late Ambassador Guthrie. He would discuss none of these reports further than to say that he was pay ing no attention to politics at this time. Regardless of whether he remains in the service of the Government, he undoubtedly will come back here within a few days to amplify his re ports. He may see the President, but more likely will wait until an other trip here because it probably will be several days before the Presi dent's physician will consent to his receiving callers. Twenty-Six In Crew. Pensance, Eng. A member of the crew of the Algonquin said that the ship's company aggregated 26, oi whom 11 were Americans. "SAFE FARMING" IS ORGEO BT HUDSON COUNTY AGENTS ENCOURAGING FARMERS TO PLANT MORE FOOD STUFF. ONE CROP WAY IS NOT SAFE Estimated That North Carolina Im ports Annually Around Sixty Mil lions Dollars In Foods. Raleigh. When a farmer has stak ed his hopes on one crop for produc ing the money necessary for him lo live and keep his family in comfort, he is taking a gambler's chances, accord ing to Mr. C. R. Hudson, who through the medium of the County Agricultur al Agents, is waging a "Safe Farm ing" campaign. It is not safe to play one crop any one year. After the time and labor has been given this crop, it may bring good price and re pay all effort, but it may not bring 'a good price and then all is not well. It has been estimated that the South ern States have been importing an nually from other sections of the country over seven hundred million .dollars worth of food stuff. While North Carolina does not head the list SAYS FARMERS MUST NOT STAKE HOPES ON ONE CROP. C. R. HUDSON. of Southern States in this practice, still, it is estimated that our bill is around fifty to sixty million per year. This seems unreasonable yet it is very true and true in a section of country that has fertile soil, as fine a climate and as intelligent set of farmers as may be found anywhere under the sun. Cotton brought a good price last year, but it is wondered how much food the money from a bale of cot ton would buy, now, with all kinds of foodstuffs higher than ever before in the history of the country. The food and feed situation is abnormal now in the United States and the wise farmer is he who produces food and feed at home this year. He may get a good price for both tobacco and cotton, but the money received will not go very far in purchasing those necessities of life which could easily be produced at home. Mr. Hudson is having the County Agents of the Agricultural Extension Service encourage all farmers to plant gardens, spring oats and Irish potatoes also need immediate atten tion. A few acres planted now to Appier or Burt Oats will help out very much in the feeding of stock. The Irish potato crop was short last year and a good crop should be planted, at once, to this important and valuable food crop. "Yackety Yack" Out In May. Chapel Hill Editor in Chief James Ralph Patton sent to press the seven enteenth volume of the "Yackety Yack," the University of North Car olina annual. The book this' year is the most unique that has ever rep resented the institution. The biiiding is to be of flexible Roycroft with the historic old well embossed on it. In the senior division individual cartoons have been instituted which will in it self, add to the spice of the volume. A greater amount of space has been given to the athletic department.
