Parry Sound. Ont. Nov. 22.--An ex-
plosion. attributed by officials to alien
enemies, occurred tonight in the plant
of the Canadian Explosives Company,
Ltd, which covers nearly three square
miles at Nobel, seven miles north Of

store cordlte, which the company has
been manufacturing IN large quantities
were destroyed.
Fifteen hundred men are employed
in the plant. but so far as known there
was no loss OF life. the employees hav-
ing quit work before the explosion. The
magazines were situated a mile and a
half from the manufacturing plant,
and except the night Waterman. who,
it is thought. is uninjured, 10 one was
in the vicinity.
That the explosions occurred stimuli
taneously gave rise to the theory that
they were not th9 result Of accident.
The force of tne explosion partly
wrecked the Canadian Northern depot

London. Nov. %. Tel America that
England is all right The spirit Of the
people is just as fine as it eve was.
There is nothing wrong with ihe men.
The only trouble have had to contcad
with is in the country districts. where
some Of the people are not sufficiently
informed TO realize the issues ade-
quately."
Lord Derby made this statement TO
The Tribune to-day. The mere ap-
pcarance Of Lord Derby is sufficient
to dispcl any idea OF his being a
pessimist. but, speaking these words,
he threw in weight OF 22O pounds
Of sheer optimism.
His declaration was n reply to the
direct question: "Are you satisfied
with The result Of your recruiting
scheme? ."
Lord Derby was too clever to answer
directly II he had said that the re-
suits werc satisfactory, he knew that
hundreds Of thousands OF eligible men
not yet enlisted might infer that their
services were unnecessary. while an
opposite reply might cause consdera-
ole depression.

whereon the time limit OF my scheme
expires" was his answer.

Immediately he was asked this ques-
ton: "Do you think that England will
have to adopt conscription >"
To this ne returned the same answer:
ASK me or December II. All | can
say is that we want TO win this war
by the voluntary method. Ii We are
able to win by this method, then it will
be an additional triumph for England y
Saying this. Lord Derby beamed
again. Although he refuses 10 disclose
the results Of his efforts, ye; it is i'm
possible to shut out the thought that
he is convinced in his own mind that
nol only is England certain of winning
but that he is also. Lord Derby is too
strong, personality to adopt the
methods Of a poseur. He proceeded to
