peror Nicholas and his family are be-
ing transferred to another point. They
were removed in an ordinary train
instead of in the gore<~us imperial
train on which Nicholas was brought

change.

was decided on after a series of secret

out of the. way before circumstances
arose making IT difficult. When the
former Emperor reaches his destina-
tion the facts will be announced.

las was at the front. On his way
back to the capital he was arrested
and taken to the AleXandrovsky pal

RAILROADS ARE
WORKING HARD
Thus Far Have Done Won
ders in Transportation of
Government Business

Washington, ID. c., Aug. Is. - To
facilitate the movement and prompt
delivery of materials for the con-
struction of the army cantonments.
the Railroads. War Board has as
signed G. e. Denney, assistant to the
president of the Nickel Plate Rail-
road, to the Quartermaster's Depart
ment in Washington. There are 16
army cantonments and 16 guard
camps. All the material for the
cantonments will take about $4,000
freight cars.
The camps will require about 40,-
600 carloads, all of which must be
moved promptly and without delay
ing in any way the usual traffic of
the railroads.
An indication of the speed with
which materials are being moved is
contained in a report from the can
tonment at Louisville, Ky. Admins
tration. buildings there were built
from lumber cut in Mississippi pine
forest the week before. The trees
were felled on Saturdays kiln dried
on Sunday, loaded on freight cars
Monday and delivered at the Louis
Vile site on Wednesday morning.
An army of energetic carpenters
completed the Transformation from
forest TO Government building just
one week from the day the trees had
been felled.

Ominous War Program
of u. S. May Force Berlin
to Make Peace Drive

London, Aug. 15. - Germany will
make the greatest peace drive of the
war by the end of October if by that
time her military chiefs consider the
war program of the United States too
ominous for the Central Powers to
continue the war through next Win
ter and spring.
Reports to this effect were re-
ceived in high quarters from Dutch
sources. In two months time, it is
asserted, Germany believes she will
be able to gauge correctly just how
much America can do, despite the
submarines. If the chiefs decide that
America is not able to WELD her
strength soon enough to be a vital
factor, Germany will continue fight
ing.
There is every indication that Ger
many is growing extremely nervous
about the speed with which America
is working.

dominates the city, has been stormed
by the Canadians.
Since the beginning of the attack
on the northern end of the Franco
Belgian line, which apparently has
been selected by the British and
French for their principle efforts in
the summer campaign, the Canadians
have been making steady progress
around Lens, driving slowly into the
outskirts of this important and bit
terly disputed mining center. The
new attack, on the front Immediately
north of Lens, evidently is designed
to close around the city from the
north. If successful, this operation
may compel the Germans to evacuate
the town without a direct attack on
it, with the heavy sacrifices such a
move probably would involve.
The French attack was made near
the coast, in the vicinity of Dixmude.
The official communication from
Paris reports good progress west of
nounces gains by entente troops
northwest of Bixschoote, in the sec
tor north of Ypres.
Active operations continue on the
Aisne front. The French positions
between Hurtebise and Craonne were
bombarded heavily during the night
but the Germans did not renew their
infantry actions which have cost
them such heavy losses in the last
few weeks, in their vain efforts TO
expel the French from command
ing positions.
The Russo Rumanian forces have
been compelled to yield further
ground on the Southern Rumanian
front. To-day's official communica-
ton from Petrograd reports the oc-
cupation by the enemy of a height
west of Ocna. in Southwestern Mol
davia where the Austro-German
forces are endeavoring to outflanlS
south.
