WHAT PRICE ANITA IAMERICANISM

Less has been heard lately about anti-Americanism
demonstrations abroad. But though there may be
fewer overt acts the spirit continues An American
correspondent in Europe says there is of anti
Americansm sweeping the world.
That hurts American feelings. 1t also hurts Ameri-
can business More may be heard hereafter of this
latter effect.
European business men taking shrewd advantage
OF the feeling against America to restore the waning
popularity of their goods in competition with
own.
In Germany, England France, Italy, and everywhere
the correspondent finds virtual campaign against
things made in America 1t doesn't matter if they are
the best articles of their kind in the world-auomo-
biles tires, vctrolas, movie films cash registers
what not-the method is the The public is urged
strenuously to "buy British goods or "buy German
goods buy French goods as patriotic duty This
is rendered easier by the hostility felt toward America
And the business interests said to be actively TO-
menting that hostility, to insure the preference for
their goods.
Thus the noticeable falling off in the foreign de-
mand for American products is said to be about half
due to prejudice artficiay stirred up for business
purposes
1t is going to take considerable effort and wise
handling to overcome all this foreign dislike But the
effort must be made alike to protect the good name of

HIS TEETH HIS OWN,
YOUTH is SAVED

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Richard
C. Flynn left his home at 4493
Hudson Boulevard, Union City,
extremely satisfied with existence.
In his pocket was an engage
ment ring whirh he intended to
place on the finger of q Manhat-
tan girl who had accepted him the
week before. But in store near
his home where he paused to buy
a package Of cigarets the rift ap-
peared in the lutte.
Just as he started from the
store Mrs. Anna Mccarthy Of 1913
Railroad Avenue, Jersey City, and
a woman friend came in. Mrs.
Mccarthy stared and before Flynn
could leave sad to him:
"I thought you were dead"
81 should say not. I'm very
much alive" was the reply.
"Well," returned Mrs. McCar-
thy positively, "you are my hus-
band, and I know you even if /
have seen you only once in IA
years."
1t was in vain for Flynn to
protest that he had never mar
ried. He was brought before the
police of Union City and then
taken to the First Precinct in
Jersey City. There, after leng-
thy Interrogation by Capt. John
Underwood and Mrs. Mccarthy,
Flynn was submitted to a final
test.
"My husbands teeth were all
false" she said.
Flynn smiled. A hasty exam
ination proved his teeth to be
those that nature gave him. AS
he hurried to keep an appoint

eff she breaks the engagement
because I was late. TIL sue you"
Mrs. Mccarthy told CAPTAIN

WHEN A BACH

When are bachelors not bachelors That is a question that many would like answered, yet Matt Moore, with the help of Dorothy Devore, presents just that ambiguous condition in the Warner Bros. Classic of the Screen, ''The Narrow Street" that is running at the Liberty tonight.
 Dorothy Devore is his wife, in the eyes of the, world, but he's a bachelor in spite of his fast-growing desire not to be. With the startling suddenness of an apparition, Dorothy Devore, in the role of a police-hunted girl, is dis covered by the bashful bachelor, Simon Haldine, right in the privacy of his home. From then on the fun is fast and furious, William Beaudine, direc- tor of 'The Marrow Street" having woven together a very humorous mys- tery tale. EU

 In 1914 the Germans thought that England was too engrossed with the Irish and the suffragists to have time for a world war, and maybe they thot that the occasion of a general strike in Britain was a propitious moment for restoring Kaiser Wilhelm, the gro cer, to his dynastic heritage.
