AME ERICAN TROOPS
PARADE STREETS
Of CITY Of LONDON
Soldiers Are Cheered by Great
ThrongS in Trafalgar
Square.

London, Aug. 15.-American troops
marched through London today. They
were reviewed by Ambassa dor Page
and later by King George at Bucking-
ham palace. Great crowds lined the
streets, which were decorated pro-
fusely with American and British
flags. Enthusiasm was shown every
where. The Americans were chcercd
by civilians, by soldiers on their way
to the front and by wounded men.
A cabinet meeting in progress when
the Americans approached was ad-
journed to permit the premier and his
colleagues to pay their compliments 10
the Americans. The cabinet went in a
body TO the war office.
The evening newspapers say that
for a parallel to the scenes witnessed
today in the neighborhood Of Trafalgar
square It probably would be necessary
to recall the time Of the South African
war and the return home Of the troops

TAKING EX-CZAR
To 4 PRISON IN
REMOTE PLACE
Provisional Government Re-
fuses to Reveal His
Destination.

Petrograd, Aug. 15.-The seml-o
fetal Russian news agency announced
tonight that former Emperor Nicholas
and his family were removed today
from the palace at Tsarkoe- Selo and
that it was reported they were being
transported to Tobolsk, Siberia.
Petrograd. Aug. l5.--Former Emper-
or Nicholas and his family are being
transferred to another point. They
were removed in an ordinary train in
stead of in the gorgeous imperial train
on which Nicholas was brought to the
palace. The former emperor appeared
to be very much depressed. Former
Empress Alexandra seemed to be
pleased at the prospect of change.
y. V. Nekrasoff. vice premier said
today that the removal of Nicholas
was decided after a series of secret
sessions of the council of ministers
late last month. The motives of the
ministers, he said. are political and
military 1t was decided to get Mich
olas out of the way before circum-
stances arose making it difficult. When
the former emperor reaches his desti-
nation the facts will be announced.
The provisional government today
formally refused to reveal the destina-
ton Of the former imperial family.
At time of the removal Nicholas was
at the front. on his way back to the
capital he was arrested and taken to
the Alexandrovsky palace at Tsarkoe-
Selo, Is miles south of Petrograd.
where the former imperial family has
since been confined.

SHORTAGE Of LABOR
HINDERS R. R. WORK
Government Officers Announce
They Could Employ 500
More Men.

Seward, Alaska, Aug. 15.-The con-
vlction that the United States railway
extending from Seward to the
Matanuska coal fields should be COM
pleted with all possible haste in order
to make available the great fuel sup
plies of that field, was expressed here
last night by Herbert a. Meyer, as
sistant secretary of the interior. and a.
d. Shepard and Edwin +. Wendt,
railroad experts.
The three have just finished q de-
tailed investigation of the coal fields
in Alaska, including traffic conditions
and connections with Seattle and the
east.
Lack of labor is delaying the work
of connecting the two ends of Seward =
Anchorage line. Places could be found
for 500 more men. The demand for
men in the copper mines is chiefly re-
sponsible for the shortage.

Washington. D. c.. Aug. l5.-It will
not be long until every available plant
in this country will be busy making
war aeroplanes, heavy artillery and
submarine destroyers.
During the last few days there have
been numerous conferences here for
the consideration of the general war
situation and the outcome OF these is a
decision that the war Will be won with
aeroplanes, artillery of the largest type
that has ever been used in war and
plentiful supply of submarine destroy
ers. There viii. of course, be activities
along many other lines. but there is
TO be a concentration on these three
lines.
a war aeroplane of an entirely new
type Is to be manufactured under gov
ernment supervision. As a fighting
machine 1t will, its designers believe,
be far superior to any aircraft that has
yet been used in the war. The speci-
fications for this air engine OF war
have just been .. KID at a conference
here. A new motor is to go into this
aeroplane. 1t will be by far the most
powerful motor that has ever been
used in propelling an aircraft.
Soon after the United States entered
the war, experts in the building Of mo-
tors for automobiles and aeroplanes
were sent to France to study battle
aeroplanes used by Great Britain and
France. These men returned to this
country some weeks ago and the COM
pleted new model motor which has just
received it's final test here embraces
the best points of the motors used by

The volume of work that must be

Almost e,ooo men registered in the
