Baron Rosen, formerly Russian am bassador to the United States, and , one ot the peace envoys who settled , the war between Russia and Japan, for more than four years bad been an exl'e from his native Und. . , A one-time world famous diplomat, he spent the last years ot his life In , the United States where he engaged ; in writing for magazines and news papers. He came of very old Swed- ish stock, was born in 1849 and edu- , cated in the University of Dorpat and ; the Imperial Academy of Laws in ' Petrograd. His ancestors followed the banner of Gustavus Adolphus in the invasion of Muscovy t300 years ago and settled in Lithuania, where the family maintained a vast estate. The Rosens gave Russia many dis tinguished generals, diplomats and writers. A brother of Baron Rosen achieved eminence in science. He was a member of the Russian Academy of Immortals and was, perhaps, at I one time, the greatest authority on Arabia. Baron Rosen, because of his schol arship and desire for world peace, was a trusted adviser ot the late Em peror Nicholas. He had been a state councillor, chamberlain ot the im perial court and a Knight ot the Or der of St. Vladimir, St. Ann and St. Stanislaus. Baron Rosen arrived in America in the spring of 1919 from Stockholm, Sweden, where he had fled with his wife and daughter following 'the coup d'etat which overthrew the Ker ensky administration and established the bol8heviat3 in power. He said at that time that "Russia as a politi cal entity has ceased to exist." He declared that it was the "dead ly poison of bolshevism" which brought on the defeat of Russia. "The germs of this deadly disease, bolshevism, although lying dormant, were present and are still present ev erywhere," he said, "bred and nur tured by the atmosphere of social un rest, and inevitable accompaniment ot tho wonderful achievements ot modern civilization which are doing so much to emphasize ana render moro glaring the contrast betweeu luxury and ease of the few and the want and limitations ot the many, condemned to a lite of incessant toil, joyless monotony and anxious inse curity." . , . V j The former diplomat had resided for several years with his wife and daughter, at a New York hotel. His widow, Baroness Elizabeth Alexievna Rosen, is the daughter ot General Odintzoff. who tor many years was governor general of Moscow. " U S. PROFESSORS ARE ED BY TURKS ATHENS, Dec. 31.
