State St. Opposite Huston's Bostonian and Florsheim Shoes (NEW SPRING STYLES) One of Our Dinners Several weeks ago Samuel Bar- mak, '19, who came to America from Mohilev-on-Dniester in the province of Podola, Russia, three years ago, wrote a series of ar. ticles on his native land for The Michigan Daily. While these ar- ticles were written without any knowledge of the revolution that has just taken place in Russia, they are prophetic of the present situation. The first article ap- pears this morning. The first serious revolutionary movement took place during the reign of Nicholas I. A conspiracy with the purpose of extorting a con- stitution from the czar was discov- ered. Most of the conspirators were members of the aristocratic class, many of them being nobles, and others high government officials. They were all ruthlessly punished. A number of them were executed dur- ing the beautiful "white nights" of Petrograd, the rest were deported to Siberia for a life term. This is known in Russia as the "affair of the De- cembrists." It occurred in Decem- ber, 1825. Under Alexander II opposition to autocratic form of government was becoming intense. The people under- stood that the ruler would not cur- tail his unlimited power unless com- pelled to do so. They began to pre- pare to vindicate their right of par- ticipating in the government by pre- paring for revolution. Numerous or- ganizations were being established with the purpose of conducting propa- ganda among peasants and soldiers. Proclamations were being widely distributed, their contents were stim- ulating the intellectuals and enlight- ening the,,peasantry and workmen on the evils of autocratic government. Several unsuccessful attempts to as- sassinate the czar and to combat the governing party while it was without a ruler, were made. Instigators Original In some of these attempts the in- stigators proceeded in an original manner. The description of which may be of some interest to the reader. One of the royal employees, a furni- ture polisher, was a revolutionist. His lodging was in the basement of the palace, in .which he gradually ac- cumulated a quantity of dynamite. Having located the royal dining room he exploded the charge at the time when it was the czar's custom to dine. A terrific explqsion took place. As the czar had a guest on that day the dinner had been postponed and no one was injured. The would-be assassin escaped. He was later ar- rested in connection with another rev- olutionary affair, identified, and exe- cuted. Make Another Attempt Another attempt was made in the following manner: The czar was to return to Petro- grad from a certain city. In a vil- lage near the part of the railroad which was unavoidably to be passed by the royal train the attemptors hired a house from which they be- gan to dig a tunnel to the railway. The work had been begun a few months before the time when the czar was to go to Petrograd. This hard and dangerous undertaking was finally completed. The electric wires ran from the house to the railway through the tunnel. Dynamite stored beneath the railway was to be ex- ploded by this arrangement. In order to prevent the success of any attempt upon the life of the czar, the royal train is usually preceeded by one train and followed by two others. When the second train, which the would-be assassins thought car- ried the czar, drew near, the current was turned on. An explosion oc- curred which shattered the train. Great was the disappointment of the attemptors when they learned that the czar was in the first train. Assassinate Alexander II Alexander II was assassinated in 1881. This, according to the agree- ment of the revolutionists, was to be a signal for revolution. Revolution indeed did break out at many places, but was quickly suppressed by Alex- ander III, who succeeded. A scheme for a Russian constitution was found in Alexander II's office. Certain books claim that he was killed by Royalists who were to lose much if Russia should become less autocratic. These royalists played a conspicuous role during the reign of Alexander I, grandfather of Alexander II. Alexander I was noted for his lib- eral ideas. It is known that he con- templated drawing up a Russian con- stitution but was prevented by court- iers from carrying out his plans. It is also claimed that Nicholas II, the present czar, is of a mild disposition and undecisive character, and that were it not for the reactionary min- isters and influential and selfish courtiers the Russian nation would have enjoyed more liberty.

Those going on the trip will leave Ann Arbor Friday night, April 6, and will go directly to Gary where a day will be spent. The engineers will stay three days in Chicago, one in Mil- waukee, one in Keokuk, three in St. Louis, and one in Toledo, the students returning Monday night, April 16.
