ing upon the Secretary Of the Treas
ury TO learn as soon as possible the
amount of Anglo-French or other for
eign bonds owned outright by the ma
tional banks of the country or depos-
tied with them as collateral for loans.
The circular is apparently of neu-
trail character, as 1t not only criticises
the Anglo-French issue. but also offer
ings of the German government. The
sale Of such securities TO American
investors is called a menace 20 the
countrys prosperity. The circular
adds;
"They spell disaster because from
present indications they are more
likely to be repudiated than paid. no
matter who wins. II is current gossip
that the foreign war bond market in

WILLIAM ROCK SEEN AGAIN
RETURN. 10 Local Vaudeville Stage AZ
ter Long Absence.

William Rock. who has tossed away
half dozen years on the Pacific Coast,
returned TO New York and vaudeville
AZ the Palace Theatre yesterday after
noon. Time was. when he appeared
with Maude Fulton. that Mr.. Rock was
huge favorite in this part OF the
country. He should have no difficulty
in rccstablishing his popularity. for he
still is a good dancer and a good actor.
What the profession knows as "pattcr,
however. Is unworthy his talents.
Since his most recent metropolitan
appearance Mr. Rock has acquired a
new partner. Miss Fulton is now writ
ing plays. and her place is taken BY
young woman named Frances White.
Miss White IS attractive and dances
well. and will undoubtedly develop into
a thoroughly capable vsudcvillian.

Of the product mined in Pennsylvania

the price of steam coal would drive
