GRAND DUKE'S TRANSFER.
WHAT HE HAD TO CONTEND (WITH. London, Sept. 9. British papers are unanimous in applauding the Grand Duke's services and await an explanation of his transference to the Caucasus, The Daily Chronicle says, the position of the Grand Duke is puzzling. Despite the Tsar's rescript it seems that he has been side-tracked to the Caucasus. Germany is likely to rejoice. To believe that the Grand Duke has failed is grievously unjust. He is very gifted and unselfish. The Russian failure is due to the lamentable inadequacy of munitions. The Grand Duke Nicholas had also to contend with corrupt contractors and treason. The Morning Post's Petrograd correspondent says it is 110 secret that many attempts have been made to remove the Grand Duke Nicholas by violence. It is known that the Germans instigated some of them.
