prOcesso artistico, al quale tutti

poi del dubbi, tanto sull'identita
del pittore che su quella dele

GERMANY EXPRESSING
FEAR OF AMERICANS .
Huns Warned Not to Underestimate
Strength of This Country.

The German press Is beginning to
warn the people not to take Americas
entrance into the war too lightly.
Capt. Persius, most noted Of Ger
man military experts, follows Maxi
milan Harden in warning against
YnderestimatiOn Of Americas ability
10 make war. Extracts Of Capt. Per-
suis' writings in the Berliner Tagc-
.blatt reached the State Department
yesterday.
=. He points out that conditions in
America today are similar to those in
England during the early part of the
war, and recalls the prophecies Of
German officers at the end Of 1914 that
the proposed organization of a large
English army would have no i'm
pOTtant influence on the war, as a de-
cision would be reached on the contl-
nent before il could come into action.
Capt. Persuis declares that a single
trip OF the confiscated German and
Austrian steamers would be easily
sufficient for the transportation OF
first contingent OF 125,OoO men. He
adds that the American naval strength
is welcomed by the allies, and that
american energy and elasticity have
enabled them to make the possible

BIOLOGISTS WILL
 LOOK FOR PETROLEUM
 IN BRITISH ISLES

LONDON, Nov. 21 - It was an- nounced in the House of Commons that certain eminent American geologists, who have come from the United States to advise the govern ment, hold that it is well worth while to spend a considerable sum of money in exploring the possible petroleum deposits in Great Britain" |"
 The speaker, spokesman for the Board of Trade, added: Tt is i'm possible to exaggerate the import ance of finding oil in this country We cannot yet say that it is here, but it is certainly worth looking for Oil is almost more important at this moment than anything else. You may have men. munitions, and money, but if you have no oil you are with out the greatest motive power we are using, and the rest will be of little value"

MANY OFFICERS ARE NEEDED BY DEMANDS
 OF WAR IN CAPITAL

WASHINGTON, Nov 21.-One of the manifold problems presented by the war is that of furnishing ade- quate office accommodations for the thousands of additional officials, clerks, and other Federal servants who are pouring into Washington. The government is exercising it's pre- rogative in this direction and has commandeered conveniently located office buildings and apartment hous- es with a free hand. In addition
 it is erecting huge temporary struc- lures for use as offices, and in the building of these contractors are breaking time records for construc

REVIVAL OF BUSINESS GENERALLY APPARENT
 IN ALL DEPARTMENTS

DOUGLAS, Nov. 22 From all channels of local trade come reports of better business. October was much better than either August or September and November is fully up to or better than was October.
 Merchants are finding business de- cidedly better than they had any idea a few months ago it would be by this time and it is steadily inn proving It is not coming in spurts but regularly
 A good index of business at any time and place is the postoffice and Postmaster Henson of Douglas, is authority for the statement that the receipts of his office are steadily in creasing both in money orders and the sale of stamps, being nearly one third greater now than three months ago, and without reckoning the re- suit of the increase in the price of stamps.
 These improved conditions are due to various causes but the principal one is that everybody is working steadily and getting their pay regu- larly. Besides, a number of people have returned to this part of the country lately and more are being employed here than at any time dur ing the past six months.
 The fishing industry has been a boon to Island trade and is keeping up with no indications of falling off. From 20 to 30 fishing boats outfit here every few days and-well, when fisherman wants anything, he buys it.
 Not since the disaster which over took the mining industry on the Isl and last April has the outlook for steadily increasing business been nearly so good as right now and that outlook is brightening every day

GREAT DOINGS

DOUGLAS, Nov 22 - Yesterday was another busy time at Red Cross headquarters when, in addition to general sewing and knitting, a whole bolt of gauge was cut up and pre- pared for hospital use. Upward of 30 ladies were out and fine progress was made. Tomorrow is another work day and, as there is plenty to engage every woman on the Island, a full turnout is expected. At yester- days meeting Mrs. Finger, chairman of the military supply committee, reported having lately received ten sweaters and four complete sets of knitted outfits. AS the latter are badly needed by the government, those engaged in making them are urged to complete them as speedily as possible

YOUNG LADIES NAMED
 TO COLLECT MONEY
 FOR XMAS PACKAGES

DOUGLAS, Nov. 22.-At yester- Red Cross Mesdames Finger, Mac Donald and Hudson who were ap- pointed by the executive committee to arrange for complying with the recent request for 50 additional pack cts of Christmas presents from the chapter, or $50 in money for secur- ing the packets in Seattle, reported having selected a number of young women and girls to solicit the mon- ey, that being more feasible than to arrange and forward packages from here.
 The committee selected to make the canvass for the money is com posed of the following well-knOwn and popular young ladies:
 Misses Essie Lindstrom, Gertrude of Treadwell; Misses Nora Museth, Lucille Walker, Maude Lilljestrand, May Mugford, Cassie King, Elva Kirkham, of Douglas
 Any person desiring to contribute to this fund may leave the money with the management of the Lyric theatre not later than Saturday even ing or with Miss Lilljestrand at the Palace of Sweets. While people generally will contribute, it is ex- pected that single men who had no part in defraying the expenses of the 86 Christmas packets prepared mostly in homes here a few weeks ago, will take the lead in contribut. ing to the fund now.

LANDSLIDE WRECkS
 CANNERY BUILDINGS

PRINCE RUPERT, Nov. 16@Dur- ing the early hours of this morning the mountain side which towers above the cannery at Inverness, loosened by the heavy rains of the past few weeks, started moving down. ward. The huge mass of muskeg, trees and rock gathered momentum as it moved and meeting in it's way certain of the buildings around the cannery took them with it.
 The dwelling house of A. Bailey, the accountant, and the mess house, together with the bunkhouses, re- ceived all the damage. Luckily, there was only one man in the bunk house at the time. K. G. Johnston, the manager Of Iverness, arrived in town last night, accompanied by his wife and family and although their house was not threatened, they have escaped a rather alarming exper- fence. MT and Mrs. Bailey left for the south only last week for a few months, and as the cannery was ciosed dQwn TOT the seaosn, there were few men around at the time. Dick Cruse was the onl yone in the building at the time of the slide, and he had narrow escape. He managed to hack his way through the roof and escaped with bad shaking.
 The slide came right down to the railroad track, blocking it for a dis tance of between five and six hun dred feet, and tearing down the tele- graph wires in its course
 The train was unable to leave this morning on account of the slide, all though the work of clearing the track is being done with all expe- dition.
