SENTENCED TO DIE
PETROGEAD, Aug. 19.—It was
Officially announced today for the,
first time that the new residence of
Klcholas ilomanoff, deposed Russian I
emperor, is at Tobolsk, a western Si-
geria town, which recently achieved
a dubious publicity in revolutionary
Itussia as the birthplace of Gregory
liiisputin, the mystic monk, who
wielded a remarkable influence over
the former emperor's family up to the
time of the priest's assassination in
Petrograd last December. The offi-
cial announcement says:
"Owing to reasons of state the gov-
ernment decided to transfer to a new
residence the former emperor and
former empress, who are dtalned un-
der guard. The place selected was
Tobolsk, where they were taken after
requisite measures to insur their
safety. With them went of their own
free wlH their children and certani of
their entourage."
The train on which Nicholas Ro-
manoff travelled to Tobolsk had a
long delay on the journey, owing to
a breakdown of the locomotive.
According to some newspapers the
family will reside permanently in
the former governor's palace at To-
bolsk, which is a large house with-
out modern improvements, built in
the eighteenth century for a local
speculator. Nicholas spent one night
there in 1891 when returning from
liis visit to the far east. Other news-
papers say the former emperor will
Stay at the palace only one week and
then will be sent to the Apaltsl; mon-
jstery in a forest twenty miles out-
Vde the town.
Nicholas Romanoff, as the former
Russian emperor is now' known, was
mysteriously removed with the former
empress and their children and suites
from the palace at Tsarskoe-Selo.
August 14. The Russian provisional
government at the time refused to re-
veal the destination of the former
ruling family but it was unofficially
reported that Tobolsk had been cho-
sen as the place of exile. Tobolsk
years ago was the administrative cen-
ter for exiles banished to Slberi^ It
Is on the eastern side of the irral
mountains and about 1,500 miles from

part i.n raid on german
military centers.
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
PARIS, Aug. 19.—The Lafayette
squadron, composed of American avi-
ators, played its part in the French
eir raids reported in the official com-
munication on Sunday, when it was
announced that 28.000 pounds of
bombs and explosives had been
dropped on German military establish-
ments, railroad stations and Micamp-
ments. Corporal Harold Willis of
Boston, a member of the squadron, has
not returned from the raid, which re-
sulted in a number of aerial fights
with the Germans.
Two groups of chasers were chosen
from the ranks of the Lafayette
squadron, commanded respectively by
Lieut. Rauol I.ufbery of Wallingford,
Conn., and Adjt. Dyer Masson of San
Francisco, which travelled protecting-
ly to the right and left of a bombing
machine as it entered enemy territory.
Another group from another squadron
followed from the rear.
The groups, however, saw few Ger-
man machines. The Lufbery com-
mand obtained most of the action, and
Aviator Dudley Hill of Peekskill. N.
Y., had a narrow escape when two
Germans attacked hira with Incendiary
bullets. He escaped with one bullet
hole through a lower plane by out-
maneuvering his opponents. He Is be-
lieved to have brought down one
German.
Adjutant Masson's command was at-
tacked by a patrol of three planes,
which was easily repulsed.
Corporal Wilis was missing when
his group returned to its base after
the bombing raid, but it was hoped he
will turn up.
W. Courtney Campbell Jr. of Kenil-
worthi III., who two months ago lost
one whole wing of his machine in
mid-air and yet manager to return to
his own lines safely, was again the
victim of a peculiar accident. Just as
the bombing party reached the Somme
field a heavy bombing machine balked
and landed squarely on top of hi* light
chas.ng machine. He saw the danger

—Terrific explosions of bombs dropped
by entente allied airmen in a raid

(Associated Press Dispatch.)
BERLIN, Aug. 19.—(Via London.)
—The main committee of the reich-
stag will meet next Tuesday to deal
witt^the military and economic situa-
tion in the empire, which is said to
be considerably improved over con-
ditions existing six weeks ago, when
the political crisis occurred. At that
time the Russians were penetrating
further into Galicia, while the U-boat
figures threatende to show a falling
off in sunken ti linage.
The food situation in Germany was
then anything but confidence-inspir-
ing, due to a shortage of potatoes and
absence of new vegetables and frills
and to reduced bread rations. Today
the food situation has been eased by
the arrival of a new potato crop, add-
ed bread rations and an improvement
in the supply of vegetables while the
military situation on the eastern
Uont, according to the official lead-
ers, has been converted into an over-
whelming rout of the UtMe.ians and
Roumanians and a redemption of Au-
strian soil from the Invaders.
Outstanding Feature.
The outstanding military feature
hince the quieting of the recent po
litical storm, however, is found on
the western front, where the offen-
sive of the entente i.i Flanders, in
the German view, is again halted, and
the German U-boat ba>9 on the Bel-
gian coast has been successfully de-
fended.

appointed staff of secretaries there-

Situation Different Now.
When the reichstag adjourned Its
plenary sessions to September 28 pro-
tests were not lacking which pointed
at the need of parliament and the
government, keeping in active touch
with each other, even while the new
regime was being inducted Into office.
The desire to give Chancellor Mieh-
aelis an opportunity to select new
aides, to Inform himself regarding the
chief problems confronting the na-
tion and formulate his program war-
ranted the brief intermission, which
now has come to an end with the
summoning of the main committee
for Tuesday. In view of the unparal-
leled economic and military situation,
the opinion prevails in many quarters
that the reichstag, unmindful of the
clamors of the Pan-Americans, should
uneqqulvocally reiterate the principles
of its peace resolution as adopter! by

22 Soldiers Suffering From
Ptomaine Poison at Houston
Illness Said to Have Been Caused by Eating Stale Sand-
wiches—Indignation at the Lack of Arrangements.
(Temple Telegram Special.)
HOUSTON, Tex., Aug. 19.—Twenty-two men of Com-
pany E, First Illinois engineers of Chicago, were taken
suddenly ill with ptomaine poisoning Sunday afternoon at
Camp Logan and were at once removed to an infirmary.
The company, in command of Capt. F. C. Rossiter, 164
strong, arrived in Houston at 6 o'clock Sunday morning
from Chicago. According to members of the company, the
illness is believed to have been caused by some ham sand-
wiches the men ate en route to Houston. The sandwiches
were purchased in Chicago and were reported as not very
fresh. Several of the men expressed indignation at the lack
of arrangments made, or, as they put it, not made, by the
proper authorities for furnishing food en route. No prepa-
rations whatever were made, they said, for cooking meals on
this trip, and neither was a medical officer furnished the
contingent, who are the vanguard of the regiment.

SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 19.—James
Rowan, district secretary of the I. W.
W., who has been planning a western
mine strike, and 26 other alleged
members of the organization, were
arrested at local I. W. W. headquar-
ters here this afternoon by a com-
pany of Idaho National Guardsmen,
and placed In the county Jail as mili-
tary prisoners.
The arrests were made on the eve
of the day on which a strike ovder
of the I. W. W. and agricultural and
construction workers in Washington,
Oregon, Idaho and Montana, is to be-
come effective. Strike orders advis-
ing farm workers to "let the fruit rot
on the ground," and catling on con-
struction workers "to lay down their
tools" have been signed by Rowan.
Lumber workers in the four states
already are on strike.
Can't Stop Strike.
"The only effect of my arrest will
be to intensify the strike," Rowan
said, while he was awaiting his turn
to be searched and booked. "I think
the strike will spread further now,
and probably will affect industries in
which no strike has been called."
Only a vote of the members of the
organization can halt a strike, ltowan
said, as there is no one with author-
ity to take action. The strike order
becomes effective tomorrow unless I.
W. W. members, alleged by leaders
to be held In Jail, are released by that
time.
Men Rounded Fp.
Rowan and William Moran, secre-
tary of the local I. W. W, organiza-
tion, were arrested at the local i.
W. W. hall by Ma J. Clements Wllklns,
in command of a battalion of guards-
men on patrol duty here. While Ma-
jor Wllklns accompanied by Rowan
went to the executive headquarters
three blocks distant to unlock the
door, forty members of the company,
under command of Capt. F. A. Jeter
rounded up 22 other men who were
In the hall and took them with Mo-
ran to the' county Jail. None of the
men arrested offered resistance.
"You men are military prisoners and
are not detained under civil law."
Major Wllklns told the men after
they had been lined up in the jail.
"An Investigation will be begun to-
morrow, and if any of you are wrong-
fully held, you will be released."
Later Major Wllklns said the entire
proceedings were under military or-
ders and that no charges had been
placed against the men.
Arrests Without Specific Order.
Reports tonight from all the states
named In the strike order were that
the federal, state, county and city au-
thorities were prepared for any event-
uality.
The arrests tonight were made with-
out specific authorization, MaJ. Clem-
ent Wilkins said.
"I acted under general orders em-
powering me to take such steps as ap-
peared to be necessary to prevent the
destruction of property and the ham-
pering of Industry,' 'lie said. "The ar-
rests were made after I had held a
conference with Mr. Blaine, repre-
senting the governor."
Major Wilkins said no disorders had
developed and no further arrests had
been made at a late hour tonight.
Guafdsmen patrolled the vlclnltv
where I. W. W. speakers usually hold
their meetings and prevented all such
gatherings.
OTHER ARRESTS.

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Aug. 19.—
An American passenger ctcamship

Irish coast on her laat outward voy-
age and escaped bMrig torpedoed by
a margin of Inches, her officers said.
The periscope of the U-boat was

a torpedo. As the missile came on,
it seemed, judging from Its course,
that the liner was doomed. Her
speed, however, saved her, the tor-
pedo missing the rudder, the officers
said, by not more than a foot. The
navy gunners fired almost instantly
but missed. The submarine submerged
but soon the periscope reappeared.
The gunners fired a second shot,
but that also went wide. The sub-
marine then quickly submerged again.

Anglo-French Forces Devoting Their Efforts to Cgusolida

Put to Rout—Towns Bombed by Entente Aviators.
(Associated Presa Dispatch.)
Although for the most part the Brit-
ish and French forces in Flanders and
in the vicinity of Lens are consolidat-
ing positions won last week from
Crown I'rince Huprecht, the British
near Ypres have made a further ad-
vance on a mile front to a depth of
about 500 yards and also In the Somme
region have renewed their attacks
with advantage. In the latter ma-
neuver Field Marshal llaig's men cap-
tured positions near Rpehy, in inflict-
ing heavy losses on the Germans,
The Germans have been trying the
strength of the French lines In the
Vos(res mountain region, where, ofter
heavy bombardments, they attacked
the French around Badonvillier and
north of Celles Sur Plane. Their ef-
forts went for naught under fire of
French guns and rifles.
Along the Aisne front and in the
Verdun sector along the banks of the
river Meuse continued attempts by the
German crown prince to break the
French lines met with failure.
Intense Aerial AotUlty.
Airmen of the allies are working
havoc with German flyers and have
bombarded German positions behind
the lines. In fights Saturday French
airmen accounted for seventeen Ger-
man aircraft and British flyers seven,
which were destroyed or forced to
land inside the Teutonic lines badly
battered. ICIght British machines
failed to return to their base.
In aerial raids behind the lines al-
lied machines have bombed numerous
towns, railway stations and canton-
ments, the raids extending as far as
Sehaete, near the Dutch border,
eighteen miles from Ghent, which also
recelv d a visitation.
American aviators belonging to the
Lafayette squadron took a prominent
part In French raids and performed
notable execution. One of the Ameri-
cans, Corporal Willis of Boston, was
missing from the squadron when it re-
turned to Its base.
German airmen also tried their hand
at slipping through the British patrol
and bombing. 'In this they also were
successful, but the score was against
them in the end, for the explosive they
loosed fell on a British prisoner clear-
ing station, killing ten Germans and
inflicting further wounds on nine men
of their army who had already met
with hard usage at the hands of the
British guns.
There has been considerable stiffen-
ing in the front in Itournania and also
in Itussla In the region of Vilna.
South of Grozcchti, Southern Moldavia,
the Itusslans have repulsed attacks of
Ihe Teutonic allies, and in the Slavic
sector have beaten off attempts to
take further ground. In the Lake
Narocz district of ihe Vilna front the
German endeavor to win liussian
trenches broke do an under Kussian
barrage fire.

BRITISH FRONT L\ FRANCE
AND BELGIUM. Aug. 19.—The begin*
(ling of the fourth year of the war
finds the Germans making a radical
change in their methods of defense
along the British battlefield in north*
ern France and Belgium. The contin-
uous line of wonderfully constructed
trenches, with their deep dugouts, in
which lived and fought great numbers
of men, are fast passing into the dis-
card.
The enemy Is adopting the system
of scattering his advance forces over a
great depth. Cunningly constructed
strongholds among the myriad of shell
holes along the fron^ now conceal
Innumerable small isolated garrisons
of men, who formerly fought shoulder
to shoulder along great stretches of
picturesque ditches, through whlcl|
communication was not broken for
miles.
Trendies Ituried by Shellfire.
This alteration has been brought
about by the ever-growing preponder-
ance of British artillery, which has
buried the German front line trenches
under an avalanche of shells and has
left the defenses nothing but heaped
furrows of earth.
The contlnuou deluge of breaking
fteel made repair work on the trenches
impossible, and as the Germans were
gradually pushed back, they of neces-
sity were forced to invent another
mode ot stemming the ever advancing
tide. So it has come to the depth of
the defenses upon which the Germans
depend In many places, rather than
the strength of his first line trenches.
