Too many letters had ' asked the same question and it wpuid .have been utterly impractical to write all of them. You see, I am to play with Earle Williams once more. So many of you have written me since -we have played in different pictures during the last year and asked me if wo would ever play together again. When the let ters were answered I had no idea that we were once more to be saen work ing opposite one another and, there fore, told you that as far as I knew we would lend our efforts to different productions. And as I sat on my lounge trying to think of some way in which I might tell you all who have asked this ques tion that things hau cnanged, it dawned upon me that I might tell you through these dear chats. So that's my news to you' today. Once more the billboards will read "Anita Stewart and Earle Williams." This is good news, I think, for Mr. Williams and myself work together. Somehow we bring out the dormant points in the characterizations and some of the emotional scenes I have had pleasure of doing with Mr. Wil liams are among the best I have ever created. ' Perhaps by the time you read this talk in. your paper I will be working under the large Cooper-Hewitt lights on my next picture.' This plan is to start immediately just as soon as I return to the studios. In fact, even now I am arranging for my frocks and the . hundred and one other things which I will find necessary before the camera is set and the director calls, "Ready." Of course, I should "have much pre ferred writing each one of you a sep arate note, but when the question was so universal I found that it would not do, and chose the second best means of informing you that things had changed.

(By George, H. Manning.) Washington D."i C , June 16 . Very little is known of the authorship , or about the author of "Dixie", the song iwhich inspired the courage and pa triotism of the people Of the South, ;jind now thrills the heart of the re united! nation. This fact was brought fresh to mind last week during the reunion of the Confederate Veterans in Wash ington, when almost every band was playing it and few, very few, could say who wrote the so"ng or t6ll anything else about it. Mr. J. L. Barr, of Mansfield, Ohio, is authority for the statement that Daniel Emmett, who was born at Mount Vernon, Ohio, wrote "Dixie" and also "Old Dan Tucker." "Daniel Emmett, a young Irishman, was born at Mount Vernon, in 1815," said Mr. Barr to;day. "His father came from Ireland when the West was an unknown wilderness. The I elder Emmett, after spending some ( years in adventuring in unexpected ; sections, served in the American army against the British, and then settled down at Mount Vernon, and estab lished a blacksmith shop. "Here Daniel was born in 1815, and remained with his parents until lie was 13 years old, when he went away with a circus that came to town. Later he was connected with the leading minstrel shows. "He made a trip to London and the commanding promonotory or the spent two years with Al G. Field, his Messines ridge toward the German last work being at Richmond, Va. held positions defending Cornmes. "In 1859 while playing with Bryant's Battle front dispatches have indicated Ministrels in Mechanics Hall in New signs of a German withdrawal from York, a new walking song was need- the lowlands in this section of the ed, and Emmett who was supposed to front a withdrawal forced by the in furnish new comic songs as needed, tensely violent British artillery fire, was called upon. Emmett played a 'If the British success, in advancing fiddle in the orchestra, thrummed a their lines in such a wedge" in the banjo and sang negro melodies most- Comines region, lulls it will be seri- ly of his own composition and finally added fife and drum to his ac- complishments. While .thinking of something to lwHt ' rpmiTldpd of the time Iho urns ponuht in a stnrm nni. nf lipnr- ing the negroes say 'I wish I was m Dixie,' and that was the cue for the song which has become so popular. "The song became very popular and at the outbreak of the war had be come known all over the country- "In spite of Emmett's many musical creations and the constant demand for his services he died a poor man in 1904, at the age of eighty-nine, and is buried in the Mount Vernon ceme tery. "Although 'Dixie' was the national song of the South and its inspiring strains were heard on innumerable battlefields and later became one of the forging links between the North and the South, its author laid in au unmarked grave for several years. Some time after his death a local dramatic club undertook to raise mon ey for a monument to his memory and j other means were restorted to, but imett's memory, and after investiga tion personally erected a handsome granite memorial in 1914. '"The monument is of imperial blue Vermont granite eight feet high, of artistic design and bears this in scription : To the memory of DANIEL DECATUR EMMETT 1815-1904, Whore song, 'Dixie Land,' Inspired the courage and devotion of the Southern people and now thrills the heart of a reunited nation." poucHbIm I.Y. STS Riot and Raid Feature Busy Day Emma Goldman Sent to Jail. (By United PreBS.) New York, June 16. A raid, a riot and the arraignment of Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman, on a charge! of anti-conscription propa ganda, was the record of the anarchists here today. A " crowd of 300 TSastside mothers who marched yelling and singing from Rutgers Square to the city hall, to pre sent an anti-draft petition to Mayor Mitchel, was incited to riot by friends df Berkman and Miss Goldman, who were passing the massed police and the Crowd of mothers in City Hall plaza oh their ya to court. . Thus goaded, the women, shrieking and yelling, attacked the police with hat pins, bricks and kicks. The police responded by" the free use of their clubs and blackjacks. A free for-ali fight, audible, if not visible for blocks around, was stopped only when the police commandeered passing motors ""I bundled the ring leaders off tc jail. A '.v.fifr; About a dozen of the women were arrested. Berkman and Miss Goldman were meantime arraigned before United States Commissioner Hitchcock, and held in"$25,000 bail each after they had pleaded "riot guilty" to the charge of conspiring and actually attempt, through articles in Mother Earth" and "the Blast" to block enforcement of the draft law. An attempt will be made to bail them out Monday. While this was going on a squad of detectives, under Lieut.Busby raided rested thirty men. Pamphlets about the meeting place contained such phrases as "You are being - drawn into the nooses of mili tarism and you are to be drafted dur ing strikes to do the dirty w.ork of bosses." 7 ANARCH Hair's Men Capture More Tet ritory From the Germans. - o .

The progress on the Hindenburg line was northwest of Bulle Court 'and was featured by sharp fighting during the day. Around Ypres salient there was active gun fire on both sides.

"In a sector of the 'Hindenburg line northwest of Bulle Court there was fighting during the day." Field Mar shall Haig reported. "We made prog ress, capturing prisoners.
