TRIP INTO EXILE BY
 NICHOLAS A SAD ONE

LONDON, Aug l6.-(By Associat- ,d Press Correspondent recently in Rumania)-The American Red Cross Mission to Rumania travelled across Siberia in the train which had carried the former Emperor Nicholas and his family into exile at Tobolsk. The en- gincer, conductor and trainmcn were the same, and they told the Ameri- cans many interesting details of their journey with the royal family.
 The conductor was an energetic little man who spoke French very well and had been employed on the Trans-Sibcrian expresses for several years. He was d thorough convert to the Bolsheviki doctrine and show ed no sympathy with the late Elm peror.
 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

VISITOR IMPRESSED
 WITH CAMP FUNSTON

CAMP FUNSTON, Kas., Aug. 10. A recent visitor ascertained some salient facts about Funston during a tour of the camp relative to the enor- nous plans on which 1t is construct cd and operated.
 He learned that Funston shelters and trains from 35,O00 to 50,00O sol dierS: it has barber shop with forty chairs: a pool hall with two hundred tables: it has what is said to be the largest laundry under one roof; Camp Funston and Fort Riley are ten and a half miles long in places and two and half miles wide. And most of this space is filled with barracks, mess halls, ware houses, ammunition de- pots and other necessary structures.
 But after all, it is not the wide range of space and the multitude Of buildings that overawes one; it is the sureing flow of humanity-youts in khaki. thousands upon thousands of them that give the anatomy super thrill of something akin to Three Cheers for the Red, White and Blue v Those swarms of smiling intelligent young faces: eyes that sparkle and cheeks that glow with health and American pluck-thcy arc, also-the visitor probably cannot refrain from feeling after witnessing the sight some of the finest soldiers in the Morldl

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
 OPENS SEPTEMBER 2s

The campaign for the Fourth Lib cryt Loan will begin September 2S and close October 19. The result Of the loan will be watched with keen interest in Europe. not only by our associates in the war against the Teu- tonic powers but by our enemies. It will be regarded by them as meas ure of the American peoples support of the war.
 The Germans know full well the tremendous weight and significance oi popular support of the war, of the people at home backing up the army in the field. As the loan succeeds our enemies will sorrow; as 1t falls short they will rejoice Every dollar subscribed will help and encourage the American soldiers and hurt and dcpress the enemies of America.
 The loan will be a test of the loy- alty and willingness of the people of the United States to make sacrifices compared with the willingness of our soldiers to do their part. There must be and will be no failure by the peo- pie to measure up to the courage and devotion of our men in Europe. Many of them have given up their lives; shall we at home withhold our money: Shall we spare our dollars while they spare not their very lives:

THIS FUGITIVE WAS TOO
 SLOW ON THE DRAW

JEROME, Aug. i7. - That he changed his name and represented himself to be a subject of the king of Spain when he registered for the sclectivc draft is the charge against Antilano Gomez, alias Jose Ravilla, who was arrested by Deputy |. s. Marshal Harry Carlson on Main street, near the Golden Rule store, early last evening.
 A .32 calibre Colts revolver shoot ing peculiar slender cartridges over two inches long and loaded with bull lets capable of tearing mans head off was taken from Gomez at the time of his arrest. He was in the act of drawing 1t when Carlson pressed his own weapon into the Spaniard'S stom- ach. Carlson learned later that Go meg had been informed during the day that he was likely to be arrested as a stacker and had made a special trip to his room to get the revolver.
 Gomez is native of Spain but took out his first citizenship papers at Clifton several years ago. He learned that this made him liable to military service under the sclective draft law so he registered at Miami as Jose Ravilla, Spanish alien.

FAMILIAR SCENES OF THE LONG AGO
 SWINGING BACK
(From Thu-sday's DaiIvO

Tremendous rains in the Congress Junction country have brought back old-time scenes of vcrdurc, and the familiar vocation of cutting wild hay in the open is to be afforded for the first time in over a third of century.
 Andrew Peterson. visitor yester- day, stated he has sold his poultry business and will now start hay ranch. He states the growth of black framma and gayetta offers an induce mcnt for getting the scythe in work ing order and there are strips of land that will prove remunerative, the height of the native grass being over twenty inches. and of especially fine character for livestock feeding This practice was universally observed in early days, all over this county, when big government contracts were filled from this source solely and before the drouth era compelled farmers to plant the tame article. The novelty of such an occasion in this day would indicate that old times are fast swinging back and that early day "reminiscences of pioneers after all were not exaggerated, in the hay line at least.

ATTACK ON CHILD IS
 FRUSTRATED BY OFFICER

JEROME, Aug. H.-Evidence that Joe Tonelli, B years old, attempted to commit rape upon the person oi Rosie Meinhold, eight-year-old the daughter of MT. and Mrs. A. Mein- hold, is so strong that feeling runs high in Jerome against the Italian to- day.
 Tonelli was arrested by Deputy L. s. Marshal Harry Carlson last even- ing about S:3O, at the old Marquez & Beltran building few steps north of the Sullivan hotel. He was stand ing with the child on the muddy floor of one of the rooms when he was in- terrupted by Carlson.
 The officer was standing in front of the Yavapai drug store when a United Verde watchman told him of suspicious actions on the part of To- nelli. The watchman had seen To- nelli take the girl to a dark spot back of the old hospital building. When the watchman approached the Italian became suspicious and dragged the little one by the hand across the up- per end of the Main street to the ruins of the old pool hall, which was gutted by the recent fire.
 Carlson hurried to the scene and entered the building through an east doorway. When Tonelli caught sight of the officer he leapt through a north window leading to another room, then shot out through a door to the east. Carlson seized the little one by the hand and hurried back the way ke had entered. He was just in time to see Tonelli rounding the northeast corner and was about twenty feet behind the Italian when he fired once into the ground with his revolver. Carlson admits that he would have shot to kill had he been as sure then as he became later that the fleeing man was guilty of attempting bestial crime.
 At any rate, Tonelli stopped and gave himself up. He was taken to jail, where he offered few lame ex- cuses. The child was taken to the United Verde hospital where she was examined by Dr. A. C. Carlson. The physician found that Tonelli had fail ed to accomplish his obvious purpose. Later, at the jail, she identified To- nelli as the man who had been with her and declared that he was guilty.
 The father of the child was almost overcome with rage and had he been able to get through the bars to the Italian it would have gone hard with the prisoner.
 Tonelli is a butcher by trade and for some months has been working in a local meat shop.
 Tonclli was arraigned before Jus tice of the Peace Frank Smith this afternoon. Two o'clock Monday afternoon was fixed as the time for the preliminary examination but un> less the county attorney or his as sistant is present the case will be continued. The defendants bond was fixed at 5000 which he was unable to furnish.

HIGH SCHOOL TO HAVE
 MILITARY BAND SOON
CFrom Sundays Daily.)

The Prescott high school is to have a 20-piece military band this season, and already fund of approximately .S1OOO has been made available for Inc purchase of the necessary instru- mcnts, an announcement to this et- feet having been made yesterday evening by Superintendent s. H. Mar tin. Because of the fact that there arc three competent band instructors in the makeup of the faculty, it is believed that the training of the youthful musicians will proceed with much rapidity once the band is or eanized Prof. Martin, Principal M. \. Payne of the Washington school and ]. $. Davis. the new instructor in science are all practical band men and there are also six of the high school boys who are already quite proficient on as many different band instruments. Mir Davis played for many years in the University of Chi cago band.
 The band will specialize in military music and will be used largely in connection with the drills which the high school cadets will be put through by Prof Martin.
 It was also announced yesterday cvcning that arrangements had prac- ;ically been completed with the Nat ional Rifle Association whereby number of regulation army Krag riff les would be sent here for the use of a rifle club which will be formed from the high school boys. While most Of the lads have had some instruction in military tactics, few of them have ever had any real target practice. Ii is hoped that the rifle club can get permission to practice at the old Fort Whipple rifle range, north of the city, and in event that such arrange ments cannot be made, a range will be laid out elsewhere.

WOODS SUCCEEDS JOE
 YOUNG ON DRAFT BOARD
(From Sundavs DaiIvl

Homer K. Wood was yesterday ap- pointed as member of the Yavapai county exemption board to succeed Sheriff Joe Young whose resignation had been placed in the hands of Gov ernor Hunt several weeks ago, and at Hthe same time Attorney A. L. Ham, mond of Prescott was named to fill the vacancy which had been caused by the resignation of Dr. A. B. Car michael The new organization will leave the local board without the ser vices of a physician, and all physical examinations will hereafter be made by the corps of physicians at Fort Whipple.
 While Mir. Young had asked leave to quit the local organization several weeks ago because of the press of outside business, it was not generally known, and the announcement of Mir. Woods appointment as board mem Der came as something of surprise to those who were not in touch with the conditions existent in that organi- zation. Dr. Carmichaers resignation was accepted several weeks ago, the young physician having passed up the job because of the fact that he will shortly tender his services to the United States army. Young's reason for desiring to drop out of the board was that his duties as sheriff, combin- ed with the activities attendant to his ownership of the Young & Rob- erts ranch in Williamson valley, were bit too strenuous to permit him giv ing the required amount of time to the military board. Messrs. Wood and Hammond have already taken their oath of office and on Monday next, in company with Recorder F. A. Mo Swiggin, the secretary of the board, will hold the first formal meeting of the new organization.

employees deigned to give them any salute or open mark of recognition, and in the little village stations where we stopped now and then the soldiers merely stared at the members of the royal party.
 This lack of deference seemed to hurt the former Emperor's feeling. At one station, where he was permitted to walk up and down the platform in the sunshine with one of his armed guards, he spoke to a soldier.
 "Why do you not salute me?" he asked.
 "The soldier replied solemnly, You are no longer an Emperor
 " But I am still 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 sold Ger is as good as the offiser, and there is no occasion for anybody saluting anybody else
 Nicholas never complained about anything during the trip" said the conductor. "He kept closely to his compartment, but did no writing or work of any kind. He ate very little food, while the guards farcd sumpt- uously on poultry, fruit and wine. The guards were so busy drinking wine and playing cards that they had little time to devote to the royal party. It was very much like picnic for every body except Nicholas and his house hold v

MEN PICKED OUT OF
 ARMY AND PUT TO WORK

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN ENGLAND, Aug. 13.-When . soldier leaves the United States Inc should not feel certain he is going to win glory on the battlefield in France Whether officer or enlisted man he is subjected to further scrutiny in England and in France and until a little corps of keen eyed and careful officers have completed the examina- ton no one can tell into just what part of the big army machine he is going to fit.
 There are in England camps where every man who passes through is trade indexed." This is especially true of one camp where large part of the airmen and motor transport forces arrive shortly after debarka- ton. The records accompany them show what the men have been doing in civil life and further examina- ton of them and scrutiny of the de- mands often determine the part they are to take. sometimes only for tenn porary duty but in some cases for an indefinite period.
 From this lot arc selected the men who will go into the big repair shops at once. Men experienced in electri- cal work are sent to stations where their service is most needed. Orders for automobile experts are filled and not infrcquently the men in command of the station are called upon to sup ply men for following, for time at least, exactly the same kind of work they were doing in the United States before their numbers in the draft were called.
 A big hospital is being erected at one camp The money for the mater ial was furnished by the Red Cross. The work is being done by the army. The construction of the buildings is not materially different from that of war hospitals being erected in the | 0lIGu SldlGS, anu tue SdiiiC class Ot skilled labor is being used. Experts in the use of cement are working there. Plumbers arc doing the same sort of work they were paid to do in the United States, carpenters are em- ployed in doing as high grade labor as could be found anywhere, and the drawing of the plans and specified tions was done by architects and en- gineers. All the men whose work is going into the building have been taken from the rank and file of those who reached camp on their way from the ports of dekarkation. They will be held there only so long as their work on the structure is required and then they will rcjoin their organiza- tions unless detailed for other work.
 Officers engaged in fixing the trade index of the army have boasted that from the ranks of the national army there may be found men who can do any class of work required, from grinding diamond to working on the rifling of big gun.

labor. The best time to begin con- struction would be early in the spring, then the entire project could be com pleted in one season.
 If the Cherry Creek Hill route is constructed the amount of saving would not be SO large if done by contract, as the work is not so heavy and the State has equipment sufficient to construct the project even though it were done by day labor.
 From a scenic standpoint there IS no comparison between the two routes as the direct route between Prescott and Jerome will undoubted- ly make one of the most beautiful drives in the whole southwest. Yet during the period of national stress should we consider scenic routes? The U. s. Highway Council, recently organized in the City of Washington, emphasizes the great need of conser- vation of money, transportation, labor and materials by restricting highway and street work to most essential needs. It ranks maintenance of exist ing streets and highways first, recon struction of badly damaged streets and highways second, and it places last new construction justified only on account of vital war or economic necessity, justified only where the highways are vitally important to- ward the winning of the war or for the movement of essential commodi- ties. The last to be summarized as follows:
 1-Those which are utilized or
 will be utilized by the military
 establishment.
 2-Those which carry con
 siderable volume of material and
 supplies essential to war indust-
 ries.
 3-Those which have a bearing
 on the production and distribu-
 ton of food supplies, connecting
 population and shipping centers
 with surrounding agricultural
 areas.
 They also emphasize the import ance of through highways connecting with those of adjoining states, and have provided a definite form on which to make application for govern ment approval of highway work, it be a question of finance of materials. transportation, or of war necessity or desirability. These forms not only ask for the location and distinguishing features but also economic and military status as well as finances
 As yet we have made no application to the Council for approval of either of the above mentioned routes, but wish to do so just as soon as we can definitely decide on which of the two routes would be the most feasible at this time: though our estimates are not complete, I would say the Cherry Creek route
