THE MACK-MAE
FAVORITES AT THE
PARMELE TONIGHT
The Mack-Mae stock company ar
rived this morning to open their five
night's engagement at the Parmele
theatre and will afford a treat to the
lover of the dramatic art. This com
pany is one of the best stock organ
izations making the smaller towns
and are even better this season than
they were last summer when they
appeared at th Air Dome in this city.
Mr. Mack and Miss Mae who were
such favorites with the threatre goers
of the city during their stay here,
are anticipating another pleasant
time with the Plattsmouth people and
will do their utmost, together with
the other members of the company to
provide high class entertainment for
those who attend the performances.
The opening bill tonight will be the
pleasing comedy drama, "Pretty Peg
gy O'Neil" and is one of the most
delightful Irish comedies on the stage
today, and one that is free from all
suggestiveness that is found in so
many of the late plays. It is a
charming little story and in the hands
of the Mack-Mae company will be
given a pleasing presentation.

UNCOVER GER
MAN PLAN TO FOIL
NEUTRALITY
American Secret Service Men Slowly
Unravel Extensive Plot to Arouse
American Opinion.
WAR FUNDS WENT ASTRAY
Suspect Network of Hidden Wireless
Systems Constructed at Great
Expense With German
Money.
New York, March 11. The United
States secret service net, reaching into
all sections of the country, is slowly
gathering in parts of an alleged Ger
man machine that was put together in
Wilhelmstrasse to violate American
neutrality or work against its interest
in case of war.
Arrests in New York, Chicago and
Philadelphia today, and in Los An
geles yesterday, showed the extent of
the federal operations.
The district attorney's office an
nounced today that revelations of a
German agent established that the
kaiser has been levying a war tax on
his subjects in this country. Accred
ited representatives of Germany, it is
said, have systematically assessed
Germans in America and have collect
ed millions of dollars. The spending
of this money will be one of the ob
jects of the grand jury probe already
begun. Officials do not believe the
money was sent to Berlin.
Indications that a huge German
fund was in existence during the re
cent elections, to secure the election
of federal and state officials who would
be favorable to German enterprises,
are being probed.
Wulf to Philadelphia.
Chicago, March 11. Federal offi
cials here probably will take Fritz
Wulf. German suspect, to Philadelphia
tomorrow. Prominent Germans, some
of them known to have been identified
with German propagandist movements
in the past, have called upon Wulf at
the county jail. They refuse to give
any information concerning him. Wulf
also maintains absolute silence.
Wulf and the investigators were
closeted in the federal building practi
cally the entire day. Since his arrest
at the request of Investigator C!a
baugh last night, the prisoner has been
constantly guarded by secret service
operatives. A number of pro-German
sympathizers are under surveillance
and additional errests are expected
Wulf, if that is his name, has worked
in Cleveland about a year.
LAST LECTURE COURSE NUMIJER
On Wednesday night at the Parmele
theater there will be given the last
number of the high school lecture
course, by Miss Therese Davault, read
er and entertainer. Miss Davault is
one of the most papular readers en
the lyceum platform today, and where
she has appeared has scored a great
triumph in her work as an entertainer.
In her offering are selections from
"The Melting Pot" by Zangwell, "The
Music Master" by Klein, "Peg o' My
Heart" by Manners, "Polly of the Cir
cus" and Charles Dickens' "Christmas
Carol." This will be one of the most
popular numbers of the entire course
and those who attend can rest assured
of having an evening of high class en
tertainment. The Mack-Mae com
pany that is appearing this week at
the Parmele, will not show on Wed
nesday evening, leaving the date open
for the lecture course.
