TSAR'S CURT REFUSAL

The Tear's reply was a curt refusal.

On the margin of the petition he wrote in his own hand:

Then in 1925 the Prince suddenly disappeared. For a time neither his whereabouts nor the manner of his

It is said that the escape was en- gineered by an American who was in league with the Prince's friends in Egypt.
