CAREFUL SEARCH IS URGED cabs is a new war spectacle the Can adian contingent is providing-. Several hundred of the Canadians have visited the metropolis this week on short leave of absence from their camp at Salis bury Plain. They appear to have plenty of money and to enjoy the sights thoroughly, while Londoners find equal pleasure In fraternizing with the visit ors from the colonies. The American newspaper correspondents have sup plied a-keenly felt want by being' able to inform Canadian visitors of some news from their country. The assumption of the command of the Canadians by General Alderson and his orders for the establishment of a canteen and greater liberality in grant ing leaves of absence from camp have relieved - the principal causes of com plaint which at "'first beset the con- Secret Wireless Apparatus Also Be lieved to Exist and Persons Sheltering Them May Be k Treated as Spies. LONDON, Oct. . 23. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) London has been greatly excited by the report that a German-owned music printing plant In Wlllesden. a prominent manufac turing suburb of London, has an im mense building, whose heavy concrete foundations, floors and roof are well adapted to the use of siege guns. : Twenty of the German employes of the firm were taken Into custody and military experts are studying the build ing carefully. Meantime the excited public is fully convinced that the plant was designed to act as a German base for attack upon London proper. The building unquestionably occupies a strategic, position. It stands high with a clear range to Crystal Palace. Willes den Junction, where two main lines en tering London center, is but a short distance from the plant. Foundations Six, Feet Thick. ' However, the English architects who designed the building and supervised Its construction eight years ago say it la similar to many other printing plants and has no heavier foundations and floors than are required where heavy machinery is to be Installed. The building is about 200 feet square on the outside and is constructed about a court 60 feet square. It Is only one story and the foundations are of con crete and six feet thick. The English manager of the concern says this un usually thick foundation was laid as the firm expected to add additional stories to the plant when business ex panded. A concrete roof covers most of the building. Discovery by the allies that Ger many has prepared conciete bases for Its howitzers surreptitiously in many places in Belgium and France has made all Englishmen suspicious of possible German preparations in England, strategic Position Suspicions. In discussing the Willesdea factory. the Sunday Times says .n a situation which commands an almost: unlnter rupted view of that great tract of Lon don which lies between WiUesden and the Crystal Palace is discovered a building whose roof, floor and founda- tions are constructed of exceptionally thick concrete and might apparently be employed as the emplacement of a heavy gun, in fact, one of those 17 Inch howitzers for which such careful arrangements were found to have been made around Antwerp and Namur. We are far from suggesting that the prem ises at Wlllesden were deliberately ar ranged. " "Considering the German workmen. It is at least probable that in the event of an attack upon London the atten tion of the Germans' commanders would have been called to that convenient concrete floor, even if they had not known of It before their arrival. Careful Search Advised. - "It is highly probable that there' do exist such places around London and In the neighborhood of our great fort ress positions, which have been care fully prepared for slego guns, and the chief value, to our mind, of the Wllles den discovery is that it may be ex pected to stimulate authorities . to search for them. . .. "The suspicion that many wireless equipments are operating" in' London was justified by the discovery of such a plant in the home of a German pro fessor. As wireless apparatus can be operated for so stort a distance as from . London to the European coast without an outside tower, the .discov ery of Illicit wireless stations is very difficult. The Times advocates that'the War Office issue a statement stipu lating that persons found sheltering such apparatus will be treated as spies and handed o-er to military power." ADVERTISING MAXACteR.

FATHER IMPORTANT, TOO BIOLOGICAL EMINENCE ASSERTED BV . PURITY SPEAKER. Parents Criticised for Lack . of Care Exercised In Selecting Husbands for Their Daughters. KANSAS CITY, Nov. 7. "Undesirable fathers, are a greater . menace 40 this country, than. undesirable citizens,". Dr. Russell Price, of Chicago, asserted . in an address . before the International Purity Congress here today. "The" tendency of the age," he con tinued, "is to magnify motherhood, min imize fatherhood. Yet It is a scientific fact throughout the animal world that off springy take their characteristics from the male parent. Propensities-In children have been traced similarly to activities In the father shortly prece dent to procreation, according to Dr. Price, who gave a number of illustra tions from personal- observation and drew examples from the breeding of race horses and fighting cocks. 'Parents have, been -.careless In al lowing their daughters to marry, hit or miss, ana are compelled to wot lor ward to grandchildren from a diseased and decrepit fatherhood," he asserted. He contrasted this with the care exer cised' in mating dumb animals so as to obtain sound progeny. . . . 90 STEAMSHIPS ON WAY Baltimore Reports Big Prospective Shipments to Europe. BALTIMORE, Nor. 7.
