NICK GOES TO SUMMER RESORT.
Former Russian Ruler Said to BE OF
for Siberia.


petrosrad, Aug l4.-The semi
olflr1al Russian news agency an
honhced Tonight that former Empe-
ror Nicholas and his family were
removed to-day from the palace at
1SarSkoc-Selo ana that 1T was report
cd 'hey were being transported to
lopoiSk, siberia.
III oro"r TO Keep the departure Sc
crct as long rs possible the train was
kept on sldetrack, to which Nicho-
las and his party went. The public
was unaware or the transfer until late
last might. III order to keep up the
1c'lon that Nicholas was still in the
palacc the guards were retained
around the park and special vigilance
was shown in keeping the people
away.
Many rumors are current in re-
gard TO the motives for the removal
OF the imperial family and as to it's
"eS'lhailoh. The scmi-oilicia} news
agency says the demands for Nicho-
las transfer were due to fears Of the
authorities that an attempt would be
maze to libcrate him in connection
with counter revolutionary move
meht' n prevalent theory is that the
discovery Of the letter in which Gen.
Gurko' former commander OF the
so"'h western front, expressed loyalty
10 the former Emperor and Of plots
10 erect the escape Of Nicholas, caus-
ed the council Of deputies to demand
HIS removal to safer place-either

"Now, frankly said German war
correspondent to me, in the press head
quarters in Galicia, doesn't it indicate
that we Germans have great self-control
when we overlook the fact that your coun-
try is supplying ammunition to the Allies,
and permit you, as an American war cor
respondent, to come with our armies?"
"But you want the German side of the
story told, argued.
Yes; but see how much natural antip-
athy to your country we must overcome
TO gain that end. OF course |, as a well
Informed newspaper man, know that you
are selling only small proportion of
their ammunition to the Allies. But I've
lost relative in the war, and how do |
know it wasn't piece of American
shrapnel that killed him."
1T is unnecessary to elaborate upon such
instances. They seem petty, at this dis
lance; but Americans in Germany know
that they are unloved as individuals and
that their government is unloved.
don't mean to say that Americans in
Germany are not without friends among
the Germans. Every American, found,
has good German friends friends who
would warn them, in advance, of trouble,
and who would help them to get down to
the Friedrichstrasse railroad station to
catch the last refugee train.
when you settled that Susser thing
with Germany last Easter, and when
Germany backed down and shook hands
with you, the whole thing got under our
hides in England" said an English maya
zine editor to me, not long ago. 1--WE felt
pretty good toward you while you were
quarreling with Germany; but as soon as
you made up and kissed, the whole feeling
in England changed in an eye-wink."

English Disappointed in Us

THE deep truth is that Englishmen are
disappointed in us. We are not the
United States they thought we were.
There have been some black days in
England since the war began--days when
the news was nothing but bad, morning
after morning, night after night: with
casualty lists growing; big ships going
down into the waters with a thousand
Englishmen at a crack; the Dardanelles
failure; Kut a rout; Serbia lost; the
best blood in England split like water;
and the Germans always coming on.
I've had English friends say to me, in
those days: ooh, if we could get just one
little, little bit of good news! Just little
tiny thing to cheer us up. But it's all
black-all black!"
That was last winter Engiishmen
couldn't see why we didn't come to the
help of the mother country in those days
when it took faith to believe that England
would not go down.
That disappointed expectation-th
feeling that the United States did not help
the mother country when she seemed to be

\ OBODY in Europe loves us.
III 1t is well for us Americans to
keep this fact in mind. We NAV

keep this fact in mind We may
- have whatever leanings we will
In the Great War. Our hearts may 20 out
as the racial blood in us directs them
but, in all our play of sympathy, we will
not err if we keep the fact before us that. no
matter whom we love in Europe, and no
matter how hard we love em,-nobody
in Europe, nationally speaking, loves us.
Our love is welcome, but one-sided.
1t will be necessary to make clear one
fact before proceed with the exposition
OF this sad news: In all countries in
Europe the people and the government
are two different things-separate and
distinct units. In France and England
this line of cleavage between the people
and the government is less marked than
In any other countries across the water:
but, in general way, and especially in
wartime, when militarism is in control.
the cleavage is definite. The people of
Germany are one thing, the government
another; the people of England one, the
government another.
When l say, therefore, that England
does not love us, | mean that the massed
opinion of the people of England has
found, during this war, nothing lovable
In us. The average man, the man on the
street, is against us; or, at least, he en-
tertains such opinions of us that could be
turned actively against us very easily.
The same may be said of every other
nation In Europe, on whichever side it is
ranged in the Great War.
This lack of love for us, as Americans
for us, as mass of individuals, and for
our governments constantly apparent
to an American whose occupation leads

He was right, my English friend. He
admires America, in part, and is DESTROYS
of seeing the relations between the two
countries pleasant and smooth. He is
friend who would tip me off in advance
if affairs between England and the United
States reached a crisis in which Americans
would have to flee from London to escape
interment. He would disguise me in his
English tweeds and his too big low collars,
and help me down to the refugee train at
Charing Cross station in his motor. But
he felt what he said.

him to Europe these Great War days.
The governments of Europe, being accus-
toned to diplomacy, are able to hide any
lack of love they may feel. The people,
represented by the individual selected
from the mass in any of the warning coun-
tries, do not possess that self-control.
At Easter-time, in Germany, when the
tension produced by President Wilson's
submarine note was at high-C tautness,
Americans remained within their homes.
True enough, many of them were busy at
the task of arranging their household
goods for flight; but those who did not
find such preparatory domestic duties
pressing down on them discovered, new
ertheless, that the confines of their homes
and premises or their hotels were more
comfortable than the streets, cafes. and
restaurants of Berlin

When Americans Avoided
Berlin Crowds

L was glad news for Americans when
the word went out that all packing
operations at the American embassy
had come to an abrupt end, and that
the packers had begun unpacking; it was
news that ended packing operations in
some two hundred Americans homes in
Berlin. But, for some days, Americans
did not mingle with the crowds in the
Berlin streets. And, ever since that ex-
perience, German crowds have appeared
In different light to Americans who,
during those few days of tension, saw the
smoldering of potentially fierce hatred
in the Germans about them.
1T Is buried in the souls of Germans that
their men are being killed by American
ammunition
