A resolution, protesting against rendering assistance to the monarchistic activities of Grand Duchess Cyril, was unanimously adopted at the last meeting of the Grand Adirondack Lodge of the Knights of Pythias, held at Yorkville Casino, 210 East 86th Street, New York.
The resolution makes particular reference to the fact that the Daughters of the American Revolution have agreed to act as hostesses for the Grand Duchess. The resolution, which was presented by Attorney Jonah J. Goldstein, reads: “Whereas, as an American fraternal organization we regard such action as un-American, as subversive of the fundamental principles of our democracy, as an intrigue of international reaction, as a inenace to world peace and fraught with the danger of involving us in undesirable international complications, therefore, we, as members of Grand Adirondack Lodge, the Knights of Pythias, an American fraternal organization, resolve and do herewith ask the daughters of the American Revolution to reconsider their action in officially receiving the Czarina.”
A special force of police and detectives guarded Pier No. 57, North River, today when the French liner “Paris” arrived, bringing the Grand Duchess Victoria Feodorovna, wife of the Grand Duke Cyril Vladimirovitch, who three months ago in Germany proclaimed himself “Cyril I, Czar of All the Russians”.
