Petrograd, Aug. 19.--It was of
ficially announced today for the first
time that the new residence OF
Nicholas Romanoff, the deposed Rus
sian emperor, is at Tobolsk, a west
ern Siberia town, which recently
achieved a dubious publicity in revolu-
tionory Russia as the birthplace of
Gregory Rasputin, the mystic monk
who welded remarkable influence
over the former emperor's family up
to the time of the priests assassina-
ton in Petrograd last December. The
official announcement says
Owing to reasons of state the gov
ernment decided to transfer to a new
residence the former emperor and
former empress who are detained un-
der guard. The place selected was
Tobolsk where they were taken after
requisite measures 10 insure their
safety were taken. With them went
of their own free will their children
and certain of their encourage"
According to some newspapers the
former imperial family will reside
permanently in the former governors
palace at Tobolsk. Other newspapers
say the former emperor will stay at
the former governors palace only
one week and then will be sent to the
Apalatsk monastery in a forest twenty
miles outside the town.
Nicholas Romanoff, as the Russian
former emperor now is known, was
mysteriously removed together with
the former empress and their children
and suites from the palace at Tsars-
koe-Selo August IA. The Russian
provisional government at the time
refused to reveal the destination of
the former ruling family but it was
unofficially reported that Tobolsk
had been chosen as the place of exile.
Tobolsk years ago was the administra-
tive center for exiles banished to
Siberia. 1t is on the eastern side of
the Ural mountains and about 1900
miles from Petrograd.

The echo of its footballs car ried hope to every heart in France, but as 1t grows there must be period when we shall be taxed to supply 1t. While it's numbers slowly increase, you Americans, who are a great in dustrial people, must see that this war is an industry of destruction, You will understand how urgent it Is to send us guns, middle heavies and shells in or - der that we may be armed 10 win victories and to defend ourselves so that some of us may be alive to fight by your side when at last America is ready
 "The Italian army Mir. Mccormick continued. had something less than one quarter as many guns as the French and British armies combined, although there was no great differ ence in the length of the fronts. In Italy they suffered from a shortage of ammunition.
 "The middle heavy is to this war what the steam shovel was to Panama. If we make guns enough and then transport them to Europe before the spring of 1918 we ought to win this war without terrible losses. Without the guns we shall lose the men and maybe lose the war.
 We must build for ourselves and the allies g5.000 cannon. This is the estimate of the best military opinion in Europe But apparently we shall have produced practically no guns within a year after our declaration ol war.
 "It seems evident enough that wt must create a department Of munk tions just as the French and Englisl have done The problem of gun ant 1 intuition making is so big that ever the ablest industrial executive il America will find he is taxed to th' ultimate in directing their production Time is the essence Of victory an 1 cannon are the weapons by which | must be won. We must make gun enough in time to win"

Fighting at StondstiH
 Or the Western Front
Rome Announces That the Austro- Germdns Were Completely Re-
 pulsed in Last Attack.

New York Dec. 1S.-Preliminary peace discussions between the Bolshe- wiki representatives and delegates of the Teutonic allies are in progress at Brest- Litovsk. The real negotiations. having in view the bringing about of peace and the consequent retirement of the Russian army as belligerents against tho Teutonic allies, are ex- pected to begin next Tuesday
 The German and Austrian foreign ministers, both astute politicians, are speeding toward Brest-Litovsk to take part in the barley and in the battle of wits which will take place, it probably is not outside the realm of reason to infer that the Teutonic allied representative will not be at a disadvantage in dealing with men of the calibre the Bolshevih will have present to plead their cause.
 On none of the battle fronts, ex- cept that in northern Italy, are mili- tary operations of great magnitude en- suing. Heavy snow and bad weather generally has brought the fighting al- most to a standstill on the western front in France and Belgium, except

pal epidemic centered in the civil pop ulation for meningitis.
 General Gorgas recommends obser- vation camps, the relieving of over crowded conditions, the oiling of nearby roads to keep down the dust and the erection and heating of am bulance sheds to obviate the present difficulties found in getting the motor ambulances started during the cold weather, because of the freezing of the water in the radiators.
 Sanitary conditions at Camp Sevier, in the Thirtieth Guard Division, are described by General Gorgas as seri- ous. Sixty men have died of pneu- monia in the past month and the camp has been exposed to a general cpl demic of measles, there having been about 2,000 cases during the month. There have ben 115 cases of pneu- monia and fifteen cases of menin- gitis.
 The basic cause of unsanitary con ditions, the reports continue. is over crowding as the result of shortage of tentage.
 From eleven to twelve men had 10 be put in each tent with about twenty surface feet to each man. General GOrgas recommends that no additional men be sent to this camp until the division commander says he is able to care for them in the proper manner. When General Gorgas visited the camp November 29. the whole com- mand was in khaki and as a result there has been god deal of discom- fort and exposure. Woolen under clothing and overcoats, however. have been distributed. Heat and plumbing 1 is badly needed in the hospitals, as are ambulances.
 During the past months at Camp Doniphan, where the Thirty fifth 1 Guard Division is training, there have been seventy-four admissions from pneumonia, with eleven deaths; 31t cases of measles and one death; 10l

 Almost at the moment Chairman Hurley of the shipping board was an nouncing the resignation of Rear Ad- miral Harris as general manager of , she emergency fleet corporation and the appointment of Charles A.

 Action came on the resolution in- troduced by Senator Harding of Ohio. who denounced the boards continu- ing difficulties as "an interminable tangle Vf red tape"
 With haste rarely shown. the sen ate auditing committee, which first has to pass on the expenditures of such investigations, approved Sena- tor Harding's resolution and the son. ate ordered the inquiry. referring it to the commerce commission.

Washington, Dec 18.-lnsufficient clothing, oyercrowding and bad sani- tary conditions are held largely re sponsible for disease epidemics at Camp Bowie, Texas; Camp Funston, Kansas; Camp Doniphan, Oklahoma; and Camp Sevier, South Carolina, by Surgeon General Gorgas, in reports to Secretary Baker, made public today as the result of his personal inspec- ton of the camps.
 With the exception of Funston, none of the camp base hospitals have been completed, General Gorgas says, and this is handicapping the medical 1 officers in treating the patients. He recommends the rushing of this work, particularly the ins allation Of neces- sary plumbing.
 General Gorgas points out that nearly all the disease is brought to the camps by incoming men and roc ommends the establishment of obser- vation camps for all new corners. To aid sanitary conditions he recon mends that 50 square feet of floor space be furnished for each man al all camps. In some cases now only
 20 feet is provided
 steps to remedy existing unGayor- able conditions have been taken by i division commanders as far as pos- sible, the reports say, while winter clothing Is being pp jed as rapidly as received Lack Of warm garments during the cold weather of the late | fall is believed lYy General Gorgas t1 have contributed largely to the spread I of pneumonia.
 At Camp Bowie, where the Tlirty- sixth guard division is training, Gen eral Gorgas reported il dea hs during the past month from pneumonia ouI or 409 cases admitted to the hospital 1 Abauot 2,900 cases of measles have
 developed in the same length of time
 There is great deal of uneasines, and criticism among the people with regard to conditions here which are
 worse from the sanitary point oi view than in any of the camps I have wis | hed," General Gorgas says.
 The base hospital Is unfinished without water, plUmOing or sewrage connections. I recommend that tee graphic instructions be sent to the ! division commander at once to put in plumbing, water and sewer connection and electric cookers in all the wards,
 q think the recommendations Lave made will tend to correct the existing sanitary erOrs, but I cannot urge too strongly that they be Dot | into effect at once The camp sites and surroundings are all that can be desired The troops and general con- 6itions are good with the exception of such conditions as relate to the | epidemic of diseases at presnt pre- vailing."
 At Camp Funston. in the Eighty ninth national army division there has been 43 deaths from pneumonia
 with 1S0 cases, and 22 deaths from meningitis from 70 cases. As em- phasizing the situation, 1 call atten- tion to the fact that they had Si deahs from all causes when the nor nal death rate of such a command should be about 12."
 The general reports that among the | S6 GOO drafted men, injected into the cantonment in october, were many

oi confidence and sympathy as will insure the free approach of their men TOT counsel and advice. This relation snip may be gained and maintained without relaxation of the bonds of dis clpline and with great benefit to the service as a whole
 Tn this paragraph will be seen an endeavor to arrive at true balance in the proper relationships between officers and enlisted men; on the one hahd to encourage an exchange of confidence and cooperation between the officer and the soldier and on the other to avoid personal intimacies be- tween officer and any particular sol dier or soldiers which might have a tendency to lead to favoritism or to the suspicion of favoritism in assign ments for duties, or cause discontent on the part of those not selected for special intimacy by the officer in question. All offfl CTS are expected to exercise their judgment under this regulation at all times to enjoy the sympathy, confidence and respect of the soldiers and it has always been a part of the instructions given young officers by their superiors to exert themselves to promote the relation ship.
 Distinctions of rank in the army are solely in the interest Of the mili- tary discipline. They imply no social distinction; indeed, in a country like ours the advantage of education and culture will very frequently be found In favor of the soldier, and yet 1t is necessary that the soldier should ac- quire by continuous and unvarying ractice the habit of instant obedience to his superior officer. This is as true of officers as 1t is of men.
 "In the emergency of battle, when every condition tends to distract men 8 attention and peril is on every side, safety for command frequently lies only in it's organized and co-ordinated activity, and this can proceed from one inspiration alone-tne instant, unquestioning compliance by all with the voice of authority. There is no time to debate no opportunity to consider, the men must have acquired their rule Oe standardization and obedience 10 command, This habit cannot Dc created in emergency and forgotten obedience to command This habit cannot be created in emer- gency and forgotten under other cir cumstances, but must result from some practice which tolerates no ex- captions either of persons or occa- sions.
 The relationship between officers and men, therefore. must be so ar ranged as to lead to this indispen slble result; but this is entirely con- sistcnt with respect, sympathy and mutual consideration, and the best officers are those who have most completely won the affe ton Of th"i' men. Military annals are filled with splendid stories of men imperiline their lives outside of the necessities of military action in order to save tho life of beloved captain,
 The war department, thefefore, has endcavored and Is endeavoriug by every means within its power to i'm press upon officers the military value
