GAMES DRAW BIG CROWDS Theaters rilled "With Men of Mill tary Age Who Seem Cnmoved by Kitchener's Call Boy I l Scouts Plead In Vain. MANCHESTER, England, Nov. 13. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Recruiting throughout the north of England is proceeding slowly and the newspapers of Manchester and Liverpool are outspoken in their discussion of 'the subject. Within the last four days Manchester, with a population of about 600,000. supplied only 400 recruits through a total of 60 recruiting depots. Reports from Liverpool show that recruiting Is even slower. A boy scout band has been parading the streets for days in an effort to stir up the young men, but without effect. Football games draw large crowds. Theaters are filled with men of mili tary age. Apparently they are not moved by Lord Kitchener's call for mora men. Conscription la Threatened. In discussing the situation, the Man chester News says: "The shadow of conscription, wlth all its inherent evils and its serious Industrial handicap, looms over the country. The ever-widening war is likely to be prolonged. Should this be the case, all the men the army ad visers have asked for will be needed. They are not being obtained, however. "When Manchester can send only 100 a day to reinforce our army it be comes obvious that something will have to be done to set a. better pace. "Higher separation allowances for wives and children and new grants to their dependents are helping to in crease the response to the country's call. The reduction of the standard of height to five feet three inches should give a further stimulus. If this does not meet the case new temp tations must be offered. Otherwise compulsion faces young men who for various reasons are hanging back. IrlHh Situation Complicated. "In Ireland recruiting is slower than In the north of England, because it is complicated with the bitter political strife, which has subsided only par tially as a result of the war. "Party leaders have exerted every effort to hasten Irish recruiting, but without the results hoped for. "Many Irish officials have explained the slackness of recruiting in Ireland by sayirfg it is a country of women and old men and that the young men mostly have left for countries where greater opportunities await them. "Census figures. however, show that Ireland has not yielded recruits In the same proportion to Its available men that England has."

LASSEN AGAIN IS ACTIVE California Peak's Smoke so Dense as to Hide Mountain From View. REDDING, Cal.. Nov. 21. Lassen Peak belched forth such volumes of smoke today that the mountain was hidden from view. As nearly as can be learned the eruption began with ex treme violence at 4 A. M. The disturb ance is the first of any magnitude since October 27 and the 61st in the series which began May 30. Forest Ranger Abbey, stationed at Mineral, reported today from head quarters at Red Bluff that last Wednes day he saw a cloud of smoke pouring from a vent in the mountain just at the timber line and a mile below the main crater. He did not get near enough to determine whether the vent was merely a fissure or a new crater. Watchers from Redding thought the smoke came from a forest Are. 10 OLD CHARGES DROPPED Long-Pending Indictment Dismissed at Prosecutor's Request.

Ttia dUtancs im 2 mil Nation Has Uttle Fear of Becoming Involved In Present War, but Some Persons Mindful of Rus sian Attitude Later. CHRISTIANIA, Nov. 8. (Correspond ence . of the Associated Press.) The only menace to the neutral position as sumed by Norway, in the opinion of certain well-informed citizens, appears to hinge upon a possible invasion of Sweden by Germany. There have been Intimations, it is said, that Germany desires a base of operations on the southern coast of Sweden. Should Bhe go as far as to seek to coerce Sweden, Norway, by virtue of a defensive al liance with her sister kingdom, would have to take up arms against Germany. Such a contingency, even in the minds of those who pretend to see Its pos sibility. Is regarded as remote. Norway Is expected to maintain her neutrality. What may happen to her after the war, in event of victory for the allies, is regarded by many Nor wegians as a more tangible danger than the likelihood of her becoming involved in the conflict. There is a long Btanding mistrust of Russia in the minds of these Norwegians. Russian Ambition Feared. It is said to be no new idea that' one day Russia, in her pressing need for a western ocean gateway, n?ay be tempted to seek such outlet through Swedish and Norwegian territory. Heretofore, England has been looked to as a bul wark against such possible aggression. Now it has occurred to certain Nor wegians that In the possible flush of victory and with England and Russia closely allied, the former's vigilance might be relaxed. Notwithstanding these bugaboos, with which, so far as could be learned. official Norway is not deepiy concerned. tne country Is pursuing its normal way, suffering comparatively little from de pression on account of the war. Ac cording to an official statement by a Norwegian authority, less than 10 per cent of the country's population is out of employment . condition scarcely out ot tne ordinary at this season. American Imports Increased. Imports of foodstuffs from the United States have materially Increased, due to the closed markets oi Germany and Austria. Such falling off as is noted in industrial and shipping activities is due to the danger attending transporta tion of raw material on the seas, and to a tightening of credits abroad. As a safeguard for neutrality, by a recent ruling of the Department of Commerce and Industry, no shipments that can by the most liberal construc tion be considered contraband can be transshipped from Norway into bellig erent countries. CANADA ADDS TO ARMY Enlistment to Be Increased at Once to 91,000. OTTAWA. riTif" Mv 1 j. - will Increase Immediately to 81,000 the numoor oi moo unuer arms, Jfremler Bnrden announced tnnlp-ht ci.,. thousand are to be mobilized and sent forward as requisitioned by the War la emb a force of 17,000 will be dispatched to England and by a subsequent enlistment the total num ber of Canadians under arms will be brought up to 108,000 before the end of the year. Premier Borden's announcement points out that 33.000 soldiers already have been sent from Canada. Eight thousand more are engaged In gar risons and outpost duty in the Do minion and the new mobilization will put 50,000 others under training. When the contingent of 17,000 leaves for Europe In. December a new enlist ment of 17,000 will take place im mediately. The number of men who can be use fully trained is limited by the necessity of providing accommodations for them during the Winter, of furnishing arms and equipment and of organizing them ior ainerent arms and branches. The ability of the British government to receive Canadian expeditionarv forces and give them their final training, in view of Great Britain's enormous task in preparing the recruits from the Brit ish Isles for service, also is an im portant factor. ' The followtng statement In the offi cial announcement is regarded as spe cifically significant: "In the western provinces of Canada large numbers of men anxious to serve as mounted troops are available. They are excellent riders and good shots, and the government has made special effort to arrange that their services be util ized. Recent cable communications with the British government lead to the hope mat opportunity to mate the services of these men effective in some theater of active operations may be found in the near future." Inasmuch as cavalrymen on the En. ropean battle line have been dismounted to fight in the trenches, this statement is taken to Indicate the likelihood that mounted Canadians will be sent to the Suez region of Egypt.

Welfare Union Is Read in Holland, and Cen sor Does Not Bar Way. INVASION IS. DREADED Belgium Will Be Held at All Costa Until Negotiations Are Opened, to Be Used In Obtaining Favorable Conditions. THE HAGUE, Holland, Nov. 21. (Special.) Although the German press asserts that Germany can bring 6.000, 000 reservists into the field without making use of men under 18 and over 45 years old, there are several indications that German officials desire peace. Semi-official attempts are being made to negotiate first with one and then with the other of the allied forces. The German sections of the peace societies are sending circulars to their repre sentatives in Holland and other neutral states to initiate a peace movement. Peace Circulars Reach Holland. The International Wohlfahrt Vereln (Welfare Union) of Berlin has made a direct appeal to influential Dutch news papers by means of a printed circular inclosed in. an open envelope, expressing the wish that all neutral countries and lovers of peace work together and pre pare the way for mediation overtures to be made by some neutral power, as, for instance, the United States. It is considered remarkable that the circular should have reached its des tination. If its contents had been dis pleasing to the German censor It never would have passed the frontier. Effect of Invasion Feared. In military and governmental circles in Holland it is considered likely that Germany Itself soon will" open peace negotiations. The government, it is said, sees itself seriously menaced by Invasion and, should the enemy march into Germany, the people would feel that they have been misled by the gov ernment as to the trend of the war. It also would impair the authority of the central government and the cohesion of the states of the empire. Germany, public men at The Hague believe, will try to hold Belgium at all costs until peace negotiations are opened, since it desires to use Belgium as a pawn for obtaining favorable con ditions from the allies. A strong sec ond line of defense has been prepared In Belgium. Roughly, it runs from Ant werp to Mons. A third line is being prepared along the Meuse River. SCHOOL LEVY CONSIDERED Clackamas Taxpayers Estimate As sessments at 6 31111s. CIiACKAMAS, Or., Nov. 21. (Spe cial.) A 6-mlll levy was estimated by E. P. Dedman, chairman of the Board of Directors, as sufficient at a meet ing of the taxpayers of the Clackamas school district Wednesday. Since no new buildings or equipment is needed the tax is 2 mills lower than that required last year. The last of the indebtedness has been paid off. The erection of a large play shed for the use of the school children was dis cussed but no action was taken. The manual training equipment, installed at the beginning of the year, will be moved from the basement to more suit able accommodations at an early date.

Pearson, the president of the firm, for the retire ment of the company from the field, was the unsatisfactory condition of the produce business in this part of the country. For the past two or three years there has been no profit in the handling of produce lines, and busi ness has been further injured in the last 12 months by the general busi ness depression, political happenings and the war. The company goes out of business with all its debts paid, but it is tied up -with leases on its properties. Mr. Pearson met with his bankers last night and turned the affairs of the business over to them with ample funds to meet all obligations. FOR SALE Stationery and News Co.
