Sends Out Appeal to Gain Aid
for Its Cause.
Duesseldorf—The league for Rhenish

following the incident at Munchen-
Gladbach yesterday in which National-

ing to hold a meeting.
Dr. Hans Dorten, the Separatist lead-

journalist.
The league's appeal, which is in the
form of a letter from its executive
committee, says:
"The demonstration organized in
Munchen-Gladbach by all the national-
ists of the surrounding country re-
vealed the spirit of Prussian revenge
that still animates the population and
which in a few years will lead to a war
of revenge against France and Bel-
gium."
