said:
The receipts of the democratic

less than 100000. The contributions

mostly in small amounts"

quarters today of the statement of
Congressman Fred A. Britten, of Hi

British embassy in Washin gton had
been contributing 10 the democratic

AT TIE REpTRLIC TONIGHT

The art Of registering on the screen
the workings OF the brain and the in
nermost frame of mind OF certain
characters is reported to be specially
demonstrated in Vitagraph's newest
feature, Slaves of Pride" Alice Joyce
is star of this production, which is 10
be the attraction at the Republic the
atre tonight.
Slaves of Pride" is a screen drama
on the theme of supreme pride. 1t I'M
folds a visual statement of how pride
can fasten itself on certain types OF
mind, overpower them in the fashion
of disease and lead the victim into
strange experiences.
Miss Joyce plays the role of beau
tiful girl who is sacrificed in matri-
mony to the god of wealth Patricia.
Leeds, the girl becomes the unwilling
bride Of Brewster Howard, a wealthy
man obsessed with excessive ideas Of
his own importance and sufferer OF
the pride germ
Brewster, played by Percival Mar
mont, manages to express by his bear
ing and actions the most delicate
shades and tints of his thoughts. con
yeying a vivid vision of how his mind
works. Patricia, through Miss Joyce.
likewise sets forth the workings Of
mind subjugated by the domineering
mind of the other The conflict of
these two leads to surprisingly dra-
matte conditions and a climax packed
with excitement.

NEWSPAPER DISCLOSES
GERMAN WAR SCHEME

Correspondence Associated Press.)
London. Jan. ia German scheme
for an air raid on Gibraltar in con-
junction with the Italian and Austrian
fleets in 1914 has just been disclosed,
says the Evening Standard
In the summer of 1914 an aviation
exhibition was promoted at Malaga.
Spain, but was suddenly abandoned on
the eve Of hostilities German com
petitors had entered ostensibly for
show purposes, the Standard states
but really in order to be close at hand
for an air attack on Gibraltar They
hoped to secure the cooperation of the
Italian and the Austrian fleets in this
venture
The British authorities had pre-
yiously learned of this plan and. as all
hope of participation of the Italian
fleet failed. the coup had to be de-
clared off. much to the chagrin of Ger
mans who had reckoned on Gibraltar
as an excellent place for a submarine
base

Buenos Aires, Jan. I0-Evevy steam
er arriving here from Latin ports of
Europe and from Holland is loaded
with immigrants coming here TO set
tie Most OF those on the Dutch ships
are Germans They are attracted by
the facts that Argentina is prosperous
unscathed by war and belief that it
gives promise To rapid development
A great increase in the foreign popu-
lation of the Argentine is expected ow-
ing TO this immigration Already
nearly one-half Of the population OF
Buenos Aires is foreign born and a
majority OF these have failed to become
citizens. although only two years resi-
dence is required Many have long
been residents OF Argentina and are
large property owners.
The influx of new immigrants has
prompted a proposal by DR. Juan Car
los Garay. professor OF Law in the Uni
yersity of Buenos Aires, to propose en-
actment of law making nationalist
ton obligatory without remuneration of
citizenship in the country of birth.
Professor Garay hopes in that way to
solve the problem presented by failure
of SO many foreign born persons to be-
come citizens and take part in the af-
fairs ana politics of the country He
admits that this is revolutionary
doctrine, but contends that for Argen-
tina its advantages would outweigh the
disadvantages.
