Russian Exiles Hope Czar May Still Be Alive in Siam
Berlin dispatch reports Russian exiles, including Czars and National Democrats, cling to the belief that Nicholas II may be alive. Secret agents cite evidence and rumors of double bodies, possible monastic concealment in Tibet, and a potential refugee refuge with Siam’s king.
