URGES PROTEST. AGAINST
PROPOSED FLOTATION

PHILADELPHIA. September 15-Dr.
Charles J. Hexamer. president OF the
National German Alliance, to-
day sent broadcast to members Of the
alliance an appeal urging a protest
against the proposed Notation In Amer
lea Of a large loan to the entente allies.
He declared that the Anglo erican
combinatio OF money interests, sup
American press. is bent upon driving
our peaceful nation into the war as
an ally OF England"
The prime movers OF the allied
Anglo-American money interests are
also actually engaged in formulating
the nefarious plot Of robbing the
American people OF their savings" the
appeal continues. They want to aid
England and to enable her to continue
the war which she is now waging to
retain the mastery of the seas and TO
control the commerce OF all the world
for all time.
II call upon all patriotic American
citizens to pass resolutions in an
American society or association ex-
pressing their adherence Of this UNI
patriotic and pro- British scheme. and
to earnestly appeal to the President
of the United States and the Secretary
of State to thwart this evil conspiracy.
"a conspiracy which would rob the
American people OF the money where
with 1t can alone develop the natural
resources of our land, increase our in :
dustries and extend our own means
OF internal transportation and aid our
agriculture.

HOW MISS ANGLIN
RECEIVED NOTICES
Who Was the Person Who Had Col
lected Them?

Margaret Anglin, who is the attrac-
ton at the Apollo Theatre this Friday
and Saturday with Saturday matinee
in LADY Windermere's Fan" and
Screen Stockings" is unique among
actresses, inasmuch as she never
keeps and stores away newspaper
comment about herself and her work.
Thus it is there are no records of
her Australian tour or of many of
the triumphs of her earlier career.
But at least part of this lack was
supplied recently in a most unusual
manner. At the beginning of her
New York engagement last spring
Miss Anglin received a letter which
began as follows:
"Would you care to have some
scrapbooks of press notices of your
work that | have found in an old
trunk left some years ago for stor-
age?"
The letter went on to tell how the
writer, the keeper of a theatrical
clearinghouse, was breaking up to
retire to the country. In her house
some years ago had lodged a young
girl who was studying for the stage
and earning her own living besides.
Margaret Anglin had been her ideal,
and the model that she tried to emu
late, and she had made with loving
care these crude books of every
printed scrap she could find about the
actress.
Whether this struggling young as
pirant for fame has become a success
full actress no one knows. She never
came back for the trunkful of odds
and ends that she had left with the
landlady, when the first long-sought
engagement had taken her suddely
from town.
Of course, some one of Miss Ang-
Inns staff Immediately went after the
books and they now have an honored
place in her business office. The
books were arranged with scrupulous
care and the clippings numbered and
dated on the now following pages.
Who is or was the girl who had
cared to make these collections? Is
she herself now a star, or has she
joined the ranks of those who never
arrive? Nobody knows but the
scrap-books and they won't tell.
