EX-CZAR KILLED
BY FIRING SQUAD
Latest Version of Death of
Former Ruler Appears to
Bear Marks of Truth.
Antagonists Surprised by Number ol
Votfes Mustered In Face of an.
Opposing Sentiment Believed
to Represent Majority.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, -Washington,
July 20. Two of the cleverest
groups of politicians that ever oper
ated In the National capital have been
pulling wires that have produced re
sults amazingly effective during the
present Congress. These are the equal
suffragists and anti-saloon leaguers.
In comparison of ability to get re
suits, as distinguished from methods
employed, the lobbyists -of a by-gone
day whom the President designated
"insidious" were novices mere ama
teurs. Though neither the equal suf
fragists nor the fighters of the liquor
traffic have yet secured the final ac
tion they desire, they have surprised
their antagonists by the number of
votes they have been able to muster in
the face of an opposing sentiment that
is believed by many to represent a ma
jorlty in each- House of Congress, and
with the White House not overly
friendly. They have played the game
so well that they have been able to get
reluctant votes votes that the old
methods could not win.
Prohibition Always to the Fore.
Among the Anti-Saloon League forces
Clarence True WilBon, formerly of
Portland, and E. C. Dlnwiddie, of the
National Temperance Legislation Bu
reau, have been the planners and di
rectors of the campaign. They have
kept Wilson and Dinwiddie In the back
ground In order not to arouse jeal
ousies or divert attention, but have lost
no opportunity to present the issue be
fore Congress and the country using
Congress to keep the subject before the
country and the country to keep the
subject before Congress. ,
The joint resolution for the submis
sion of the prohibition amendment to a
vote of the states was adopted by the
Senate August 1, 1917, by a vote of 65
to 20, with 11 not voting. It was con
curred in by the House on December 17
by a vote of 282 to 128. with 23 not
voting. A two-thirds majority was re
quired In each House.
But the anti-saloon - campaigners
were not willing to let the matter rest
there. The constitutional amendment
will not be effective until It has been
ratified by 36 of the 48 states and such
ratification must take place before
December 18, 1924.
War Measure Instated Upon.
Thirteen states have already ratified
the amendment. Although confident of
success within the time limit, the foes
of liquor sought a speedier victory.
They sought statutory prohibition as
a war measure and secured prohlbi
tion of the manufacture of distilled
liquors with authority to the President
to curtail or stop the manufacture of
beers and wines. No action having been
taken in the latter direction, the antis
have been proposing a prohibition rider
on every sort of bill to which' It could
fie construed to be germane, with re
ttfts embarrassing to many members
of Congress and to the President. That
the Wilson-Dinwiddie tactics have been
too shrewd for even as clever a politi
cian as the President is indicated by
the orders issued by the Food or Fuel
administrations on the eve of Congres
sional action, restricting use of grains
or fuel In the manufacture of malt
liquors. The same tactics will evidently
be played to the end and In all of it
the strategists are keeping themselves
out of sight and giving the nominal
leadership to men In Congress.
Preachers Clever Politicians.
The campaign thus far has been char
acterized by an almost entire abandon
ment of discussion of the moral phase
of the question, heretofore most prom
inent, and the adoption of the economic
argument in support of the legislation.
Preachers, as such, have had little to do
with the prohibition campaign. Preach
ers they are, it is true, but clever poli
ticians as well.
The equal suffragists have likewise
followed new tactics in recent months
There has been an abandonment of lec
tures and addresses and pamphlets on
the merits of equal suffrage the quail -
iications or women for voting, the
effect of equal suffrage upon women
the effect upon home life, the dangers
or loss or respect or men for women
and the multiplication of conjugal In
felicity. These are subjects never heard
now In the equal suffrage debate. The
only question is how to get the votes
In Congress for the submission of the
amendment, and. aside from the im
plied threat of retribution, the only
plea Is that women are doing their
share In the war and ought to share
in the control of government.
Equal suffrage-, like prohibition, has
been made an Incident to the war and
fteema thus to have the best chance of
success.
Negro Troop In Battle.
'In this advance and opposing the
advance of the Germans, there are
seven American divisions and -one regi
ment of colored troops.
The press has carried during the
past fw days statements about the
number of troops we have continued to
send over. It was an estimate made
by some person who arrived at his
conclusion by assuming that we were
send lag troops over at the same rate
as wi did last month and, like many
guesses, it Is wrong.
The statement published In the pa
pers was that we had sent over about
90,000 men last week, and that the
number was now a little short of
1,200,000. The fact of the matter la
that we have passed the 200,000 mark
on the second million. We have over
1.200.000 embarked. If you will wait
for these things I will tell you the
facts; they are always better than
when you guess.
Troop Swiftly Trained.
One question asked me has been:
Will you be good enough to tell us
where the Illinois National Guard,
which trained at Fort Logan, has root.
is situated in France?" The division Is
commanded by General George Bell,
Jr.. and is In the English training sec
tor. A unit from that division took
part in the fighting which was re-
Dorted last week where the Australians
made an advance accompanied oy
American troops, so that the training
has progressed to a point where they
can actually take part in the lighting
"Another question is: "Where is the
77th Division, and are they operating
as a division?" The 77th is In the line
near Ludville, and is operating as a di
vision, complete, under its own com
mander."
In answer - to questions General
March said:
Our reports do - not indicate that
Soissons has fallen. It Is under artil
lery fire. Our troops have come up to
the point where they are so close to it
that the town must be heavily Dom
barded, but it is evident the Germans
have thrown Into the defense of that
line a large number of reserves, which
did not accompany them during the
original attack along the Marne. and
fighting is going on very heavily at
that point. "
Casualty IJst TTnlutovrn.
The American divisions which are
on the front of the large offensive are
the 1st, 2d, 8d. 4th. 26th and 28th di
visions. The colored regiment belongs
to the 93d division. The other division
now in line Is the 42d. In the imme
diate path of the German attack and
our counter offensive are the seven di
visions I have Indicated. These divi
sions are not operating as a corps, but
are used wherever It is necessary for
us to use them.
"We have nothing to Indicate how
costly our casualty lists are. No re
ports on casualties have come in, and
we do not know yet what it will cost
us. -
1 can give no Information as to the
number of prisoners, because the only
reports we have refer to prisoner
which were captured by French corps
In which American divisloBs were oper
atlng and no difasaocia tion was made
in the reports'; but. as far. as I can
judge, they followed quite closely the
newspaper accounts.
Taking the salient as It stands, one
of the prime reasons for making thi
advance is the position of the railroads.
Soissons is connected with Chateau
Thierry by railroad, and. it is assumed
that the Germans get part of their sup
plies at Chateau Thierry from that
railroad, and, of course, that has an
important bearing on how long these
troops can stay there."
Estimate Is Given.
In response to a question as to the
total number of American troops en
gaged. General March replied:
"If the whole divisions were there,
the number ot combatant troops would
be 27,000 in each division, and In my
talks to you, yon can estimate them at
27,000 per division unless I tell you
otherwise. Including service of supply
troops and combatant troops, a division
comes to 45,000 men.""
RASPUTIN LETTER SEIZED
Publication of Correspondence 'With
Monk Promised Ex-Einpres
and Former Heir Apparent
. Said to Be Safe.
LONDON, July SO. Russian advices
today appear to remove all doubt that
ex-Czar Nicholas Is dead. Following
repeated rumors recently of his execu
tlon, a Russian wireless statement to
day says the former ruler of all the
Russia has been shot, .
The former emperor correspondence,
including letters from the Monk Ras
putin, who was killed shortly before
the revolution, written to the emperor
and his family, will be published In the
near future, the wireless message de
clares.
The former empress and the young
Alexis Romanoff, the former heir ap
parent, have been sent to a place of
security.
Ex-Czar' Diaries Seized.
The central executive body of the
Bolshevik government announces that
it has at its disposal important mate
rial documents concerning the former
emperor's affairs, including his own
diaries.
The message announces that a coun
ter revolutionary conspiracy was dis
covered, with the object of wresting
the ex-emperor from the authority of
the Soviet Council..
In view of this fact, the president of
the Ural regional council decided to
execute the former ruler and the deci
sion was carried out on July 16.
Trial Had Been Proposed.
Documents concerning the conspiracy
were forwarded to Moscow. It had
been decided, the message explains, to
bring the ex-emperor before a tribunal.
o be held for crimes against the peo
ple." Later occurrences, however, led
to aeiay in adopting this course.
There have been rumors eince June
24 that former Emperor Nicholas of
Russia had been assassinated.
There eeenringly is no question that
today' dispatch is an official version
of the death of the former emperor.

Ground I Rongfh.
"Along the Marne, between Chateau
Thierry and Rhelms, the Germans made
an advance of from four to five miles
on a 23-mile front. The terrain at
that point is very difficult, wooded hills
rising up to a height of from 400 to 500
feet perhaps. This general movement
has been brought to a standstill.
'The object of the entire German at
tack was not a great strategic object,
like an advance on Paris or an advance
on the English ports. It plainly had
for its objective simply the supplying
of the nut-cracker process on the city
of Rhelms. If .it were possible for
them to come in there and surround
Rhelms they could force a surrender in
time. Rhelms, however, as has been
shown. Is very well organized for de
fense. Without going into details. It is
organized for house-to-house defense,
and that has been the reason why the
Germans have not been able to get in.

Agree to Accommodate Mother
but Forget Babies' Address.
ALBANY, Or, July 20. (Special.)
ir you ever undertake to take a baby
horn, be sure to ascertain its name and
the act place where it resides. This
is the advice given today by Mrs. Ida
Maxwell Cummings. County School
Superintendent of.. Linn County, and
J. C. De Ball, city editor of the Albany
Democrat, following an embarrassing
experience they had yesterday.
To accommodate a woman at Lyons
tney agreed to Carry her baby to its
home two miles away, and after they
had proceeded some distance recalled
that they didn't know the child's name,
so could not inquire where it lived.
iney rinally found its home, however,
and placed it there safely.
Mrs. Cummings drove to Lyons yes
terday to attend a meeting of taxpay
ers of the school district. Mr. De Ball.
who leaves Monday to enter the serv
ice, accepted Mrs. Cummings' invitation
to enjoy a day's vacation and take a
70-mile auto ride.
Everything, went well until thev
started homeward from Lyons. A
woman who had attended the meeting
asked Mrs. Cummings , to take her
6-months-old baby home and leave it
with some older- children. Mrs. Cum
mings agreed to do this.
They had driven only about a block
when, the baby began to cry. Mr.
De Ball proved Inexpert In caring for
email children and the crying continued
uninterrupted. Mrs. Cummings savs
the only thing Mr. De Ball could think
of to pacify the baby was to give it a
cigarette, but the latter has another
version of this part of the episode.
After they had driven about two
miles It occured to them that they
lidn t Know the woman s name and
hence, couldn t inquire where she lived.
They recalled, though, that she said she
lived near a bridge, so the first bridge
they came to they picked out the near
est house and Mrs. Cummings took the
baby in and the little girls there recog
nized" the youngster as a part of their
household.
