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.

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

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.

GERMANS SANCTION
PEACE SUGGESTION
Appeal of . 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.

tensive establishment on the East
Side and also a house on Front street,
went out of business last night.
The reason given by T. 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.
