Berlin, Nov. 21.-The "vossische

Minister to Germany, in which the min
lister said:
while Persia is neutral, the Islamic
sentiments and natural opposition TO
foreign oppression incline the peoples

may be before Teheran before the Brit
ish, but il is doubtful whether they
will enter, as the British would not
want to see them in the Persian capt.

"The present course OF the Russians
in north Persia is due 10 the fact that
they are seeking territory TO compen-
safe them for their losses in Europe.
Persia's relations with Turkey are
friendly. A strong feeling against the
Russians exists in north Persia and
against the British in south Persia.

regiments is being followed with great
interest in the United Kingdom The
tour of the Irish Nationalist leader
opened dramatically, according to the
accounts forwarded by the correspond

Mr.. Redmond was making an inspec-
tion of a battalion Of the Royal Mum
ster Fusiliers, which had taken a
notable part in the fighting from the
first days Of the British entry into
France The inspection took place close
TO the trenches, and a German aero
plane appeared overhead just as Mr..
Redmond arrived.
The British artillery opened on the
aeroplane from all directions. Some
shell fragments fell unpleasantly near
Mr.. Redmond and his party, and the
inspection was abruptly concluded.
The Irish leader has been making
speeches to the troops, and they have
been received with enthusiasm.

that the leaders decided to urge the

Moreover, il is considered doubtful

ASKS AMERICANS RELEASE
L. s. Insists Britain Cannot Question
Naturalization of Citizens.

London, Nov. 21.-The American
Embassy has requested the British gov
eminent to release Emil Miehlke and
Herman Krauss. of Chicago. natural
lied Americans of German birth, who
we're taken from the Norwegian-Amer-
lean liner Kristianiatiord recently at
Kirkwall.
The two men are confined in Edin-
burgh. Their passports are correct,
but the British authorities are making
q practice of OBTAINING naturalized citl-
zens who are unable to produce their
naturalization papers. When word was
received from Washington that Mr..
Miehlke and Mr. nrauss were entitled
unquestionably to their passports i'm
mediate representations were made for
their release.
1t is understood here that Washing
ton does not admit that the British
authorities have any right to go behind
American passports, and will take the
stand that there must be no discrimi-
nation between native born and nat
uralized citizens.

Petrograd, Nov. p dispatch 70 "The
London Morning Post" 1.-The CORE
spondent of the "Russkeye Slovo" gives
a detailed account of the preparations
the Germans are making for a winter
campaign in Russia. After atteng ing
first 70 the question of warmth, the
Germans devoted their ingenuity to in
ventions for concealing their winter
trenches and the movements Of their
troops and supply trai. and to finding
means Of dealing with snowdrifts.
Several new ideas have been evolved.
Light metal buildings. ready to be put
together and provided with steam heat
ers, are designed to afford temporary
warmth, even in trenches. Supplies of
sleeping sacks are being procured. Pro-
vision is being made for the delivery OF
enormous quantities Of spirits. and
strict orders Iave been issued that sol
diers must rub themselves all over with
it daily. Marshal Won Hindenburg is
said to have declared that any COM
manQer VINO loses a single man IIOHl
frost deserves to be shot.
Gather Linen Everywhere.
Among the most curious preparations
is the gathering together Of quantities
of calico linen and h, Hand cloth and,
indeed, of any light white materials.
Apart from the collections of domestic
linens throughout Germany, the whole
region held by the Germans in Russia
has been systematically pillaged Of
such material. The object is to cover
uniforms. trenches and supply carts. in
the hope that they will be invisible
amid the snow.
The Germans have invented special
tripod arrangements, carrying q vast
eXpanse OF white material, under which
they hope TO bivouac unseen by aero
planes. Another device is intended to
allow a line advancing TO the attack to
creep up without being seen.
Organize Boring Commands"
AS the ground during the Russian
winter freezes for a depth of from
three TO six feet, trench digging be-
comes practically impossible under or
binary circumstances of war. The Ger
mans, therefore, have organized special
So-called boring commands" whose
duty il is TO creep forward ut night, to
make succession of behring's with spe-
cial instruments and to insert explo-
sives. These are to be fired when all is
ready. so that the soldiers will be able
easily to shovel debris away and make
places which will afford them adequate
