 Count von Bernstorfi exposed his connection with the efforts to dis. patch a revolutionary expedition from .he United States to India by mak- ing a claim of ownership of the cargo of the vessel Annie Larsen, which was proved later to consist of arms end ammunition destined for India.
 An expedition actually did reach India with arms and ammunition and from the leaders were taken official dispatches from the German government and liCts of scditious m- dians.

Rocky Mountain Club in An Appeal to Miners Is To Receive

 The interest of the Rocky Modn- tain Club in this movement was aroused by a speech delivered ber,:e the club in New York, January % Mir Hoover. a Wcsterner himself is member of the Rocky Mountain Cub, and has been donating his time and tremendous organizing ability 70 the cause Of Belgian relief. The Rocky Mountain Club took the mat ter up, ant constituted each of its members a committee of one to ac- cept subscriptions and otherwise raic money for the fund. It is pro posed that every dollar raised shall reach the object Of is donation.
 The Juneau movement is being .a. ken up by ladies of this city, and subscriptions sent directly to B. L.. Thauc. a member Of the Rocky Noun tain Club of New York, will bc transmitted to the club.
 Women Make Statement
 The ladies of Juneau who have taken up the matter and organized an executive committee have made the following statement:
 "In Poland today there is said to be not a child alive under ten years of age. In Belgium the same condi. ton would exist but for the charity of other nations. There still live in Belgium over a million children. who are being fed. and saved as far as is possible from all kinds of pri- vatiOns and disease. by the relief work done by a committee organized some two years ago when the need of the Belg!aus evoked the sym. pathy of the world The world re- spOndCd generously but then NObOOy thought the need would last as long as it has. over two years Ani at present, there is no end in sight
 The people of Belgium. and probab- ly many Americans, are under the impression that this help is coming largely from the American people This impression is due undoubtedly 10 the fact that such fine work has been done in organizing and carry ing on the relief work in Belgium by a number Of Americans, chiefly Mir. Herbert C. Hoover who has been chairman Of the committee for Belgian Relief. and with those whose. work every one who reads is famil- far.

 The committee has been spend.
 ng $lS,OOO,OOO or $l9,OOO.OOO a month, and that is the minimum with which it can actually keep the people from starving to death. With this amount they try to give each child one meal 8 day, and the nor. maj rations for a family have been cut 90 per cent Arrangements have been made between Spain, Holland, the United States and Germany, that the food ships shall be allowed to go through to Belgium, in spite of the submarine warfare or anything else that may occur,

They began by appropriatlng their million dollar building fund 10 carry on the work, and are now calling on their members all over the world for help. Tho miners of Australia raised $75O- 900 in two months and in Johanns- burg they are giving 10 per cent Of their wages and the owners and du- plicating this amount,
 Juneau is a district which has been in the limclight of the mining world for some years past, and always will be an important mineral dis. trict. Undoubtedly the miners oi this region will respond to this call, but the object is such a worthy one, that the women of Juneau as well wish to adI their share to the fund that will go to swell the moneys that are keeping the splen- did nation of Belgian people alive Plans are now being made for a series of entertainments, and not only have the women of Thane and Perseverance signifled their willing ness to assist, but the merchants and people of Juneau are showing the most generous and helpful attitude.

Then early one day next week, the afternoon and evening will be set aside for a number of entertainments. out of which every body in Juneau will surely be able to find something that appeals. Plans fer all this will be perfected in day or two, and meantime the help and interest Of every woman in Juneau and Thane and vicinity is solicited
 It takes Sl,25O,OOO to give 1,25OOOO children still living in Belgium, one meal day for one month. This sum the Rocky Mountain Club is go- ing Co try Co raise as their share of this wonderful relief work in Bel. gium, and every dollar that goes from America will not only buy it's dollars worth of food, but 1t will help 10 make the name The Say Tor of the Belgian people, which they themselves have too gener- ousIy given Us, that much more hon. ,st and fittingly."

GOOD ROADS.

The ADVERTISER has yet to hear the
first voice raised against a generous
expenditure in this county to secure
better roads. There are many, OF
course, as there are always. who OPP
pose any movement liable to increase
taxes, but they are SO few that little
has been heard of them. This is the
year for something to be done. The
county is in a fairl. prosperous condi-

counties around us are either already
building better roads or are prepar
ing to do so. We must keep abreast
or fall behind. Which?

IDENTITY OF FIRST
FILM HOUSE FIXED
Original Exclusively Movie
Theatre Erected at Export
Exposition in 1899

There has been much discussion in
film circles recently as to the p ace
where the first structure, erected for
the exclusive showing of moving pic
lures were erected. The question was
finally put to Emil Ankermiller. that
old-tine Philadelphian, who In his day
has been tho manager or advance repre-
sentative Of many stars in the thea
trical armament and who at present is
In this city directing the publicity work
for Arthur Hammerstein's You're In
Love"
Mr.. Anker1nil er at on interview this
week said: Moving pictures are COM
parativoly new branch of show business
and when they were first exhibited were
looked upon as n joke by wise show
men, who thought they would die out
in a few years. They Invent as yet
At first they were exhibited In few
theatres, as an extra attraction, or In
stores converted into n semblance OF a
theatre. Tho first theatre, however, that
was built exclusively for the showing
of moving pictures was in Phil .delphia
and two men still living here were re-
sponsible for the enterprise. The house
was ocated on the midway OF the Ma
tionai Export Exposition, held in Phila-
dclphia in 1899. Bob Watt, the ex-
theatrical manager and author Of plays
and sketches, and 4 lifelong resident of
this city, had been engaged to secure
the attractions for the midway and
when the attractions were discussed he
eloqucntly appealed to the board of
managers TO add this style OF amuse-
ment. The business men who formed
that committee did not look upon tho
scheme with favor, but after Watt had
told them he would secure n man who
wou d erect n building and take all tho
monetary chances they gave in. The
man Watt had in view was Sigmund
Lubin, who was then makr" moving
pictures at a small studio on Arch street
md in the yard of his residence on
North Fifteenth street. Lubin agreed to
Guild the theatre, and he did build a
small but beautiful structure. IL was
built of staff, tastefully decorated and
was a success from the start. Many
Philadelphians got their first view o
moving pictures in this STRUCTURE. but
few, IL any of theu knew that 1t was
absolutely the first theatre in the world
| constructed so ely and exclusively for
the showing of moving pictures. Sig.
Lubin subsequently amassed fortune
| through his screen enterprises"

STAGE DOUBLES KEPT
AUDIENCES GUESSING

It is n coincidence of booking that
. play by Winchell Smith should fol-
low another play from the pen of that
versatile dramatist at the Garrick Thea
tro on Christmas. Mr.. Smith and Victor
Mapes wrote THE Boomerang" and Mr..
Smith and John +. Hazard Turn to
the Right" which follows THE Boom
erang" iext week. Another coincidence
~ the fact that one of the members of
the Turn to the Right" company Is
Alice Hastings. who has so often been
called the double of Martha Hedman in
s@The Boomerang company.
When Miss Hastings was engaged to
g<fong's THE Heart of Thief" the
roDemblance between the two actresses
4requently led to comedies of error as
nmusing as they were extraordinary.

t1nte friend) with her on the road as
