The authorities are taking no chances,
and despite the urgent need of men In
the field they keep large bodies of

Cologne where the situation has once

Truth Trickles Through.
only recently has the truth with re-

East Prussia. Their appearance caused
positive CONSERVATION. It is estimated
that the German losses in Prussia by
reason of the Russian invasion already
reach 75,00O.000, most OF which Is sus-
tanned by the "Junkers," who are all
powerful there. This fact Is likely to
have considerable bearing upon the
future of the war. for the "Junkers"
have large voice in the conduct of
affairs. and their enthusiasm for the
war has diminished visibly since the
Russians started advancing in earnest.
Shopkeepers Are Ruined.
There Is no moratorium in Germany
and the result is that the smaller shop
keepers are completely ruined already,
chiefly owing to the wholesale collapse
of smaller and purely local banks. and
the closing down of so per cent Of the
provincial branches of all the large
credit banks. No one has any money
through this, while credit has entirely
disappeared.
Those who saw what was coming, or
who had time to save anything out OF
the wreck, sent all their money and Sc
curities to Switzerland. or, that is, as
much as they dared. Through the In
come tax returns the fiscal authorities
knew the exact standing of everybody,
and used the information to advan-
tage for the purposes of forced sub
scriptions exacted for the national de-
Tense loan. For this same operation
every savings bank, friendly society
and all such institutions were denuded
of every pfennig of their reserves,
while, as already known, the private
banking accounts were raided to the
same extent.

LUNATlC ASYLUM USED
AS GERMAN SPY DEPOT

Special Cablegram to The Star and New York
Times.
PARIS, November 21-German spies
have been found in the most unlikely
places in Lorraine. The enemy used
one lunatic asylum there as regular
spy depot. All the doctors and most of
the ordinary attendants deserted the
institution with the approach of the
French army and their places were
taken by spies.
Fighting proceeded around the place
for several days and by clever use Of
Red. Cross flags the spies were able to
direct the German artillery fire with
deadly effect. Fifteen were executed in

CANADA TO RECRUIT
100000 THIS YEAR
Expects $4,000 Men to Have
Been Forwarded by
January !.

OTTAWA, Ont, November 21-Cana-
da will increase Immediately to $1,000
the number of men under arms, Pre-
mier Borden announced tonight. Fifty
thousand are to be mobiliZed and sent
forward, as requfsitioned by the war
Office. In December a force of 1900
will be dispatched to England, and by
a subsequent enlistment the total num-
ber of Canadians under arms will be
brought up to 10000 before the end of
the year.
Premier Borden's announcement points
out that $4,000 soldiers already have
been sent from Canada. Eight thou
sand more are engaged in garrison and
outpost duty in the Dominion, and the
new mobilization will put $4,000 others
under training. when the contingent
Of 1900 leaves for Europe in Decem-
Der a further enlistment of 1900 will
take place Immediately.
England to Buy Guns.
1t is stated officially that an arrange
ment has been made with the British
war office whereby the British govern
ment will purchase field guns needed
by the Canadian troops. Meantime the
field artillery units are being trained
with twelve FOUNDERS, the type used in
the South African war.
The number of men who can be use
fully trained is limited by the -neces-
sity of providing accommoda tions for
them during the winter; of furnishing
arms and equipment, without which
lengthy training is considered iueffec-
tive, and of organizing them by DINER
ent arms and branches. The ability OF
the British government to receive Cana
dian expeditionary forces and give them
their final training, in view OF Great
Britain's enormous task in preparing
the recruits from the British isles for
service, is an important factor.
Rough Riders Ready.
The following statement in the Off
cial announcement is regarded as espe-
cially 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 that opportunity to make the
services of these men effective in some
theater of active operations may be
found in the near future
Inasmuch as cavalrymen on the Euro
pean battle line have been dismounted
to fight in the trenches, this statement
is taken to indicate the Likelihood OF
mounted Canadians being sent to the
Suez region Of Egypt.

Germany's Idea.

THE New York Times said yesterday
that the policy of allowing German mis-
statements to correct themselves was not
only the most dignified and self-respect-
ing. but altogether the most effective
method. The Berliner Tageblatt seems
to be of the same opinion. for We read
in one of it's articles that enough if
not always the right efforts have now
been made, and that Germany does not
need any more arguments.
I'VE do not know what arguments
could be selected as the right ones to
convince a great democratic people like
the limited States that the German cause
should command their sympathy. The
Americans see the fate o. Belgium. when
Count Won Bernstorff has exhausted his
eloauence they ask the meaning of Lou
vain, Malines and Termonde, and just.fi-
cation, other than German necessity of
these examples Of frightfulness which
the Belgian government brings to the
Judgment of the civilized world.
The American people and their gov
ernment are beyond reproach in the
observance of neutrality. and they have
among them men and women of Ger
man descent whose sympathies are
naturally with our enemies. We must
do our best to keep them informed of
all essential facts, and to Illustrate all
efforts to SOW mischief between them
and US, but having done that we will
leave our case in their hands in per-
feet confidence they will form Q right
and Independent Judgment

Scheme for Publicity.

The committe has projected Il far
reaching scheme for the distribution of
suitable literature in neutral countries.
Coincidently with this announcement
the London Times published u dispatch
from it's Washington correspondent
which quotes an American paper edi-
torial in reply to the Saturday Reviews
suggestion of establishing some sort
of American bureau. The correspond
ent continues:
There is little doubt that this re-
fleets a preponderance of thoughtful
opinion and that the Americans appre
clate the compliment implied by our
willingness to allow actions and official
documents to speak for themselves, nor
1t must be repeated has our trust In
American intelligence been misplaced"
In an editorial dealing with the same
subject the Westminster Gazette to-
night says:
THE great neutral countries and
especially the American people Will
form their own views and the less any
attempt is made to force them to our
opinion the better it will be. The re-
ports are unanimous that the German
propaganda in America has over
reached itself and has defeated its own

Full Evidence on Which ENGLAND
Rests Her Case Is to Be
Made Public.

Special Cablegram to The Star and New Yotk
Times.
LONDON, November 21.-Under the
name Of the Central Committee for Ma
tional Patriotic Organizations, there has
been formed a body whose chief OBJ
jectives are:
First, to keep British public opinion
informed and fortified and
Second, to lay before neutral coun-
tries a clear statement Of the British
case.
These objects are set forth in let
ters to the press signed by Premier
Asquith, Lord Rosebery, Mr. Balfour
and others.
In regard to the second objective
the committee in a letter says:
Equally important Is the task of
laying before neutral countries a clear
statement Of the British case, for the
moral weight of neutral opinion will
exert an ever-increasins influence on
the issues Of the conflict.
Germany, with that thoroughness
which characterizes all her undertake
ings, Is making strenuous efforts to
influence the opinion of the world in
her favor. 1t Is necessary that iInme-
diate steps should be taken to present
the full evidence on which our case
rests in order to enable the neutral |
countries to arrive at an impartial
Judgment.

Washington Experts Are
Bafled by the Reports

Washington, March 27-Conflicting
reports of the results of the fighting
which has been in progress for the
last four days in the neighborhood OF
Torreon have bafled the efforts of
army experts here to estimate the re-
suits of Villas campaign up to date.
The state department has had no adj

Wednesday evening and such infor-
nation was the war department. has
been able TO collect came from border
points.
Out of the mass of rumors and pri-
vate dispatches, it was gathered that
Villa, Notwithstanding the formidable
resistance at one time assuming the
character of active attack, which ne
had encountered after his first victory
at Gomez Palacio, had determined TO
renew the attack on the suburbs OF
Torreon with his whole army.
Failure to capture Torreon now. in
the opinion of the army experts,
means the collapse of Villas campaign
and possibly the dispersal of his
forces. That the fighting has been
more severe than at any battle in the
present revolution is generally belieV-
ed here and it is predicted that, even If
successful in capturing Torreon, Villas
army will be in no shape to continue
his forward campaign towards the
capital for many days to come.
That it would be difficult to get re-

Government Supporters
Now Army Reformers

London, March 27.-The New Statesman
says the designations of the cavalry offi-
GERS "has turned every supporter OF the
government into an enthusiastic, deter
mined army reformer."
The newspaper adds that the need for
the characterization of the executive
ranks of the army and the abolition OF
the absurd conditions which practically
restrict the selection of officers In most
of the regiments to those having private
means has been recognized for genera
tons"
The New Statesman in concluding says
that heretofore there had not been
enough behind the demand for reform to
ensure any serious changes being at
tempted, but that the curragh incident
makes certain that the much needed re-
form in the army will take high place
in the program of the Liberal party.
