Washington, Aug. 17.-More than
1850, 600 American troops have en-
harked from the United States. Gen.
March told the newspaper cores
pondents today. This includes the
men sent to Italy and Siberia. He said
that approximately 1,550,00o men are
now in cantonments at home. Gen.
March stated that the Russian situa-
ton is very bad because Of the gen.
eral completely of affairs there. lie
intimated that there is not much
chance OF establishing an eastern
front because Of the number OF men
that would be required.
Gen. Ma:cn said that official reports
through the Spanish embassy give no
evidence that American prisoners in
Germany have been singled out for
mistreatm as has been reported.
Every detailed report shows that the
question of treatment of prisoners has
largely become standardized.
Gen. March said the Eighty-second
division, composed of Alabama,
Georgia and Tennessee troops are in
the battle line north of Toul. where
they arrived early in July. He said
the reports do not show that the
Eighty-second division had been en-
gagged in battle.

ACROSS SIBERIA WITH NICHoLAe
Former Car Treated With Little Re
spect by Guards.

London, July 25 (By Associated
Press Correspondent recently Iii k0-
mania)-The American Red Cross
Mission to Rumania travelled across
Siberia in the train which had car
ried the former Emperor Nlcholas
and his family into exile at .TobplsA
The engineer, conductor and tram
men were the same, and they told the
americans many interesting details
of their journey with the royal fam
lily.
The conductor was an energetic lit
tie man who spoke French very wei:
and had been employed on the Trans
Siberian express for several years. tie
was a thorough convert to the Bol-
sheyik doctrine and showed no SYM
pathy with the late emperor.
Both Nicholas and his wife were
disconsolate and dispirited during
their trip with me-" he said. They
seemed to think that there was little
left to live for, now that their crowns
had been taken away from them.
Neither the guards nor the railway
employees deigned to give them any
salute or open marx Of recognition,
and IN the little village stations where
we stopped now and then the SOL
diers merely stared at the members
of the royal party.
'This lack of Difference seemed to
hurt the former emperor's feeling.
At one station, where he was per-
ncitteed to walk up and down the plat
form i'm the sunshine with one of his
armed guards, he spoke to a>soldier:
why do you not salute me?'' he
asked.
1.-The soldier replied solenlnly,
You are no longer my emperor
"'But I am still a Colonel in the
Russian Army" said Nicholas.
The soldier hesitated only mo-
ment and then replied, Yes, but We
are all equal now; the common SOL
dier is as good as the officer, and there
is no occasion for anybody saluting
anybody else.
Nicholas never complained about
anything during the trip" said the
conductor. "He kc0t closely to Ills;
compartment, but did no writing or
work of any kind He ate very lit
tie food, while the guards fare"
sumptuously on poultry, fruit and
wine. The guards were so busy drink
ing wine and playing cards that they
had little time to devote to the royal
party. It was very much like picnic
for everybody except Nicholas and his
household"

FRENCH DEFEAT HUNS.
M!ANEUVER OF GREAT STRATE-
GIG VALUE CARRIED OUT.
Two Woods Capturcd-Last Of More
Important Positions in New Front
Desired by Allies.

With the British Army in France,
Aug. 16, SIS D. m. (By the Assoclal-
ed Press BY brilliant maneuver,
the French have finally captured 'Z''
wood and Damery wood. In these
two wooded traces the Germans have
been holding out desperately FOR sew
eral days, realizing the value of those
positions
The little patches of forest which
are now in the hands Of the allies are
virtually on the extreme right of the
British line and from the eastern bor-
ders it is possible to observe closely
quite wide stretch of ground. The
allied position for several miles on
each side of the two woods haze
been materially improved by their
capture.
These were virtually the last of the
really moro important positions on the
new front to which the enemy has
been holding and which the allied
forces desire. The enemy launched a
heavy attack against the new posi-
tons at Damery. After sharp fight
ing were repulsed, leaving $50 pr1s-
oners. During the last "a hours !ne
British have captured 225 prisoners
and four machine guns. The casual
ties inflicted on the enemy in local
affairs during this time are estimated
at about 1900. Artillery activity con-
tinues along the entire front. Ihe

HUNS ATTACK AMERICANS: !. :
FOR BOMBS
DROPPED ON AISNE
BRIDGES.
Combined Gas Artillery and Air
Bombing Affair Attempted by Huns.

With the American Army on the
Vesle, Aug. Is (By the Associated
Press) The Germans launched
combined gas, artillery and air
bombing attack upon the French and
Americans along the Vesle early Fri
day morning. This was in retalia-
ton for a bombing raid by American
airmen upon bridges over the Aisne
late Thursday.
The German artillery continued
shelling the cross roads south of the
Vesle for hours, on the assumption
that the French and Americans were
bringing up troops. German aviators
bombed the woods and villages south
of the Vesle, apparently working IN
relays.
A group of 12 American aviators
participated in the raid on the Alsne
bridges. Early Friday other Amer
lean fiers went up and took photo
graphs for the purpose of ascertain
ing the effects of bombs dropped.
Great traffic had been reported pass
ing over the Aisne bridges, and the
French and Americans increased the
fire of their heavy guns in an attempt
TO destroy as many bridges as pos
sib]e.
AS a result Of the reports of OBJ
servers, the French and Americans
laid down a box barrage during
Thursday night on machine gun nests
along the hills to the northwest OF
F;smes. Observers and patrols re-
ported Friday morning that y ma
chine guns had been destroyed anu
every German gunner killed.
The Aisne bridges bombed by the
Americans were located between
Pcnt-Arcy and Gerniccurt, distance
of about IL miles The same dlstric1

reports that large ammunition trains

using the bridges.
The northward traffic has consisted
principally of infantrymen and trucks
loaded with goods taken from houses
in villages, according to reports by
aerial observers and three italians
who escaped from the Germans ano
reached the American line. The 1tal-
:ans saw enormous shipments OF
