GEN. SCOTT BEEE
 kEidEvED OF COMMAND

WASHINGTON: Major General Hugh L. Scott, formerly chief of staff. has been ordered relieved of his com rnand of the seventy-efghth (natfon- al army) division at Camp Dix, New Jersey, and placed in command of the camp itself, which is to be made an authorization camp. Brigadier Gener- al James T. Dean has been appoint ed to temporarily command the 18th division.
 No official reason for the order was assigned. General Scott came to Wash ington for examination by the medical board appointed to determine the fit- ness of officers to hold commands on the fighting front in France. and he understood that he had passed the test.
 Five other divisional commanders had been relieved of their commands earlier because they failed to pass the physical examination.
 The general policy of the war de- partment has been not to give fight ing commands to officers who have reached the retirement age. in the be- lief that when an officer has passed 62 years he is not qualified for the ar- duous duties which command on the battlefront entails. General Scott reached retirement age last Septem- Der 22, on which date he relinquish- ed the post of chief of staff, but was called back into active service.

GAR LOSES HIS
 INTEREST IN RUSSIA

PETROGRAD: Imprisonment has affected greatly the mental capacities of the former emperor, Nicholas II, according to a letter from the former Empress Alexandra Alix, written from Tobolsk to one of her former maids of honor in Petrograd, which has been intercepted. In it the former empress gives a detailed account of the royal family's life in Tobolsk.
 The former emperor, she writes, seems to have grown dull and very un- sociable. He does not evince the slightest interest in current events has ceased to think about the crown and only wants to be allowed to live
 in his own way. His only regret is that he cannot live in his old palace at Livadia, in the Crimea. Nicholas dresses in civilian clothes and spends much of his time with his son, Alexis. He corresponds only with his mother.
 The former empress declares that her children have become quite accue- timed to their new position. Tatiana spends much time reading French lit erature. particularly novels as do oth- CTS in the family. Olga is much in- terested in housekeeping and spends most of her time in household duties. Alexis is busy with his studies and desires to travel.
 Regret over her separation from her best friends is expressed by the empress, hut sh" writes that she and the entire family welcomed the news of peace with Russia. She declares she hopes that with peace the ROmanoif family will be permitted to go to some town in Central Russia where fife is more lively than in Tobolsk.

The registration books closed last night for the city election with but 231 names registered, the lightest in years. Up to the hour of going to press but 94 votes had been boiled. the weather apparently being too bad for the ladies to get out. The lack of a contest also caused the voters to re main in.

By David Cory.

Tow let me see We left
little Puss Junior in the
last story in the wicked
lords castle, and Puss had
Just come out of his room to ask
the little bird in the cage how he
could rescue the captive maiden.
"Sh-h-h-h." said the little bird.
don't make any noise" So Puss
kept very, very still.
"Open the door of my cage" whis-
pered the little bird. And awsn't it
strange she wasn't the least bit
afraid of Puss, although most birds
are afraid of cats, you know.
Now follow me-" said the little
bird and she flew up winding
pair OF stairs and then she stopped,
for they were just under the turret
roof, you see.
Now the key OF the room hangs
on the wall" she said, and she
showed Puss the Key. II will fly
around TO the window of the maid
ems room and tap on the bars. And
when she asks me what | wish, Il
will tell her that you have the Key
and will open the door If she viii
promise not TO make a noise
Then Puss took down the key and
the little bird flew out Of the stair
way window and around TO the
window of the maidcn's room,
while Puss stood quietly by ihc
door waiting for the bird to tell
him TO open il. And pretty soon
he heard a tiny ChiTp through the
keyholc, open the door, sir Cat.
So he tuPlcd the lock, and opened
the door, and there stood the lovely
maiden. only. of course, she was
very pale and her eyes were rcd
with crying.
But now, how was FUSS to take
the maiden down the stairs through
the castle" for all the retainers
OF the wicked lord were keeping
guard, although it was midnight.
we must find a way ChIrped
the little bird, and then she looked
out Of another window, up To which
climbed a stout vino. And as tn"
little bird looked down. little steps
seemed to grow as il by magic out
of the woody part OF the vino.
Conc" said the bird, turning TO
the maiden. Look at this wonder

up TO the window sill. DO YOU sup

And then the lovely maiden
bravcIy stepped over the sill ami
at once commenced to climb dow n,

the little bird flew near. Well at
