DOUBT CAR NAMED
SIBERIAN EMPEROR

London, Nov 15.-Slight credence
was given here today to an unconfirm,
ed dispatch from Copenhagen to the
effect that the peasants Of Siberia
have proclaimed independence of that
country, have liberated the former
Russian czar and have esta blished
him as their ruler
This information Is attributed to a
German source and was regarded as
only one of the wild rumors that shave
filtered into London thru Stockholm
and Copenhagen.
The real situation in Russia still
remains mystery. The General
opinion, however is that the Bolshe-
Wiki revolt has been or Is being put
down. but the silence OF the Petro
grad wireless station is causing deep
mystitication.

Federal Agents Are Working on
Clews Obtained in Mobile and
Birmingham on German Agents.
Secret agents of the War Depart
ment are said to be investigating in
Mobile and Birmingham, Ala, what
they believe to be the most gigantic
of all German spy plots in the
United States. They are on the
trail of woman who gave her name
as Mrs. Charles Westerlund, who,
posing as an advocate of American
preparedness against war, sought to
obtain information concerning the
Notifications which protect Mobile
bay. That she interested herself in
munitions made in Birmingham and
their shipment to the allies also is
asserted. The agents have discovered
that the alleged woman spy had sew
eral agents employed in Birming-
ham steel plants. She is believed to
have left Mobile
Mrs. Westerland claimed to be a
British subject. When she left Mo
bile it was with the statement that
she contemplated a preparedness

MANY SHOPPERS ARE
BUYING In DAWSON
SPRING BUYING is OPENING UP
IN GOOD STYLE-PRICES ARE
HIGHER THAN USUAL.

The coming of the spring season
gives evidence of the business car
ried on by the local merchants. Not
a day passes that we do not see new
faces on our streets and in our de-
partment stores.
Numbers of visitors are attracted
to this city every day by the splendid
stores which are located here. There
is not day that passes but that the
streets of the city are we'll filed with
out of town shoppers. Men and wo-
men are among the throngs as Daw-
sons mems stores are as widely
known through this territory as are
the ladies' department stores.
This year, according to merchants,
spring trading has opened up in fine
shape. Prices are, of course, higher
than they have been in some time,
but this fact has not stood in the
way of buyers. Many persons are
paying more for clothes than ever
before in their lives and having lit
tie to say about the increases. There
is large amount of money through
out South Georgia and buyers are
going about their business of making
purchases with little comment.
Local merchants state that the
high prices have caused them many
spells of uneasiness but they have
been unable to remedy the situation.
Practically all different kinds of
wearing apparel has gone up notice
ably, some more than others, but the
local merchants are not to blame, as
they are in many instances making
less profit proportionately than when
prices were lower.
