200,000 Russian Royalis t Exiles Fight
Poverty in France to Overthrow Soviet
By MTNOTT SAUNDERS
NEA Service Writer
PARIS, April 4,—Political out
casts and people without a country,
200,000 White Russians who still
follow the lead of the remnants of
Czar Nicholas' regime are living In
exile In France, waiting and hoping
for the overthrow of the Soviet gov
ernment at home.
Many of them are former nobles
of the Russian court, once accus
tomed to lives of east and elegance
and now reduced to the verge of
poverty. Twenty thousand of the
number are ex-soldiers, veterans
who fought against the Reds under
General Wrangel.
Recent events In Russia have
fanned their royalist patriotism to
fever heat. Also playing an Import
ant part has been the mysterious
disappearance and suspected kid
naping by Soviet secret police of
General Koutepoff. Russian mon
archist military leader. He disap
peared from the heart of Paris.
Foes of the Soviets
These Russians are grateful for
the hospitality of France, and they
live peacefully. Their leaders avoid
anti-Soviet demonstrations. But
their sentiments have been express
ed in a letter to the French govern
ment, written by General Goule
vitch, a former chief of staff of the
Russian army and signed by more
than 11,000 followers.
"General Koutepoff has fallen a
victim to Bolshevik terrorism on
hospitable French soil ” It said. “It
was he whom the late Grand Duke
Nicholas chose as his successor as
he pursued the hope of the future
liberation of Russia.
"In the face of this crime, ac
complished by the agents of the
Red International; In the face of
this latest atrocity of these enemies
of civilization, the Just Indignation
of all patriotic Russians Is known.
"The Russians who escaped this
regime of crime and death proclaim
the confidence of the real Russia,
the Russia of yesterday and of the
future. In noble France..*
Many Hold Lowly Jobs
High and low, these White Rus
sians have, for tb? most part, found
work in Prance. About 2000 are busy
In Paris alone as taxicab drivers.
You may hail a prince in his own
right, but he will accept a tip of a
franc or two.
Thousands of others haw taken
Jobs in factories. Those w%io can
find nothing else to do. toil as la
borers. or work on farms. They
make good waiters, probably be
cause they once were used to being ;
served, and many may be found in |
all sorts of restaurants. Cavalry of
ficers make a living as Cossack dan
cers In gav nieht clubs.
Many have done well here and are
prospering. The natural charm of
Russian women has brought them
success In France. They conduct wo
men’s stores Dressmaking houses
find that they make excellent man
nequins because they are accustom
ed to wearing clothes well. Practi
cally all of the manikins In one
fashionable house known the world
over are Russian women formerly
of high estate.
However scattered, the White
Russian armv has not ceased to ex
ist. Here in France it has its chiefs.

with its organizations and discipline.
They have the Union of Gallipoli,
the Union of Russian Officers (for
mer combatants), the Union of Cos
sack. etc., with the Union of Rus
sian Military, which General Koute
poff directed, comprising all. The
main body is now directed by Gen.
Miller, formerly Koutepoff's aide.

Would you like to try
this doctor’s laxative
free of charge?
Every family has occasional need of a laxative,
but it should be a family laxative. One that can’t
form a habit, but can be taken as often as needed.
When the breath is bad or tongue is coated. Or
appetite fails. Only a doctor knows the right
ingredients. Dr. Caldwell discovered the right
mixture years ago. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin
combines harmless herbs and pure senna. It starts
muscular action and soon corrects constipation.
Gently, but Surely, it relieves a bilious or sluggish
condition. It is mild. Delicious. Effective. All
druggists keep this famous prescription ready, in
big bottles. Or nritc Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, Monticello, 111., for a free trial bottle postpaid.

DOWNTOWN BROWNSVILLE
there are Russian laborers who are
survivors of a Cossack regiment of
guards. When their humble work Is
done, the single men retire to a sort
of barracks in the poor quarter
where the officers and soldiers, who
had been tolling side by side all
day. resume their respective rank,
with a dormitory for officers and
another for the men. The one sec
tion eats at a mess, the other at a
canteen. They are Inspected by a
general commanding the regiment.
This discipline Is far-reaching,
whether the old guard members are
miners, farmers, chauffeurs or com
mon workmen. Also It Is understood
that the young officers are being
trained, so that the White Russian
army will be ready when the day
of opportunity comes.
A White Russian newspaper, Our
Union, Is published In Paris.
Kldnaplngs are Feared
The White Russians now fear that
the Soviet secret police are plotting
against their leaders. The French
police have taken precautions to
prevent the kidnaping of the 12
year-old Grand Duke Vladimir, son
of Grand uke Cyril and heir to the
throne of the Romanoffs. The boy
is living with his father at Saint
Briac, where the grand duke has a
villa. A guard has also been thrown
around Kutepoffs own son, aged 5.
living with his distressed mother in
a modest Paris flat.
Grand Duke Boris, brother of
Cyril and a leader of the monarch
ists. lives in the forest of Meudon.
a few miles from Paris.

“You’d be surprised,” replied the sprightly Sophia. “With a rasping
voice like yours, love is likely to fly out of the window and land on
the back of its neck. What our love needs is insurance.”
“What insurance?” he wondered.
‘The insurance of OLD golds, boy friend. Throat-ease and tender
tones caused by the mellow, mild, heart-leaf tobacco; vocal cords thatact
without a struggle; no tickle, scratch or scrape. OLD GOLD yourself
Marmie, and we shall be inseparable. There’s not a bark in a billion.” j
