go violate tradition may be almost
a sacrilege, but the offense is oc-
casionally a relief to the theater-
goer. Take the last act of Camille
for instance
When Clara Morris revealed in the
role, she died on cot parallel with the
footlights. and only far enough from
them to admit the final curtain. And
how realistically she did die! Her last
scene. of all was an everlasting demon
stration of the final triumph of tuber-
culosis over the flesh. 1t was artistic,
awful and pitiful.
1t is a pleasure to record the viola
tion of this tradition by Miss Percy
Haswell in her impersonation Of Ca
mile at the Grand last night. In the
first place, she did not cough, though
in truth Miss Haswell is not the first
'coughless Camille The bed was not
placed on a line with the first entrance,
but occupied a more remote position up
stage. Moreover, Miss Haswelrs Ca
mile left it soon after the act opened
and occupied an invalid's chair.
She died in Armand's arms which is
more ideal if less realistic And after
all the ideal is preferable in the thea
ter. The spectator can imagine the
real.
In truth, the meeting between Camille
and Armand, who rushes in just in
time to catch her tottering form, is
decidedly effective and much more sat-
isfying from dramatic viewpoint than
the picture of Camille expiring in bed.

The same degree of intensity of feel
ing of the japanese which is mani
tested in patriotic emotion, when mani
tested in other sentiment, hate, is not
SO glorious, although it may be mag
nlhcent. When provoked to anger a
Jap might grind a milestone between
his teeth When hate once enters into
his heart, it will never cease to exist
until the object of his hatred has
ceased to exist. Not even the tears of
good angels will soften the hardened
heart of the Japanese II shall in
carnate seven times a man to annihilate
my enemy" cried a feudal lord, when
he committed suicide after he had been
defeated. This sentiment with regard
to hatred of the japanese, universally
reflects the race. When a maiden is
betrayed, in other countries, for in
stance, the worst thing she would do.
would be to murder him. Such, how
ever, is not the case with Japanese
woman on a similar occasion She
would resort to means more terrible
than death. She would pay nocturnal
visits to the temples dedicated to the
god of hatred to invoke maledictions
upon him so that he might develop
some loathsome disease. When hatred
| has fairly taken possession of Jap
anese the f1erceness and bitterness in
which he appears, can never be ade-
quately described by language.
In connection with the treatment of
| this phase of Yamato-Damashu, it
| would not be impertinent for me to
say a few words concerning the atti-
tude of the Japanese toward the Rus
slams. The japanese had been repeat
edly insulted by the Russians, and their
superSensitiveneSs could no longer en-
dure the iignominy. The Russians have
built the Nicholas in Toxic, overlooking
the imperial palace. despite strong pro-
test by the mortified japanese. Later
on. the japanese We're compelled to
cede Sanhalin, and ten years ago they
were virtually driven out from Port
Arthur. Even since the present war
broke out, the Russians have been
heaping upon the japanese insult after
insult, thus deepening the hatred of
the islanders The impressions Of the
japanese are SO deeply implanted in the
inner recesses of their souls that MOTH
ing VIII remove them unless the Rus
slams are irrevocably defeated and hui
inflated
From the above remarks one may in
Ter that the Japanese are incapable of
mercy toward their enemies and that
they would commit atrocities without
remorse. But Yamato Damashu never
ueSrdues ltSeI 10 the Level OF DeaStly
bloodthirstiness. In it's manners, va
| mato- Damashu conducts itself in mag
| nlhcence and in magnanimity. va
mato- Damashu is saturated, as it were,
with too chivalric spirit to commit
any act that in any measure is calcu-
lated to be base. Yamato-Damashu
fights IKE a mad tiger so long as its
enemy is\active, but the moment its
foe is dead, it melts into tears. To
illustrate ths phase of the Japanese
spirit, shalN relate an incident con-
nected with a Voung Japanese officer
who fought in the Chino japanese war.

tears After a moments hesitation
Okansan buried her face upon his bos-
ON and wept tears of joy. When one
of the sentimental brides maids con-
doled her, the bride whispered gently,
Il consider myself very fortunate, FOR
my prudent parents have chosen this
man for my benefit. No maiden in our
land will smile on him because of his
intolerable LONELINESS, and on that ac-
count, he will be entirely mine"
The burning fervor with which va
mato-Damashu adores truth, is indeed
sublime. 1t is reported that young
lady renowned $4,000, 900 in order that
she might become true Christian. To
the Japanese nothing is more contempt
ibIe than lukewarmness and hypocrisy.
Yamato-Damashu, in its final analy-
sis, is found to be a mixture of saw
age zeal with the finest and MODEST
emotions of the soul. If the barbarlc
qualities be removed from its noblest
and purest emotions, even as the droSs
is removed from pure gold, Yamato-
Damashu will evolve what is magnif1-
cent and sublime in the SOUL 1t is this
spirit in the yellow army which in
PEELED them to evolve constitutional
government from feudalism within less
than quarter of century. 1t is this
spirit that impelled Admiral Togo to
deal that blasting blow upon the Rus
sian fleet Off Fort Arthur, 1T is TINS
spirit in the yellow army which in
spires the soldiers to imperil their lives
in crossing the Yellow and to shatter
the flower of the Muscovite army; it
is this spirit which inspires maiden
of tender age to renounce pleasures
and wealth and to give her white heart
to the alteration of truth and to the
service of humanity. Yamato-Da-
mashu has led the Japanese out of
semi-civilized state into enlightenment
within less than forty years, and has
rendered them leaders in progress and
benefactors to the benighted and OPP
pressed millions of the Orient. Judg-
ing from the past, the future of the
possessor of this spirit will be glorious,
provided the spirit be not nipped in
the bud by contagious moral disease
which spoils every blossom of Europ-
can civilization. But if the Japanese
spirit be purified by the teachings of
the Nazarene, its unbounded intensity
of emotion for what is most beautiful
heroic, and magnificent; its profound
reverence and alteration for truth; its
unspeakable contempt for selfshness
and cowardice-will some day evolve a
civilization purer and more refined
than that the world has yet seen.

@INCE Japan defeated China ten
- years ago, but more particularly
since Togo delivered the Russian
fleet that fatal blow off Port Arthur
the Sth day of February, much has been
spoken and written concerning the abil-
1ty, the daring of the Japanese; of their
strategical ability and their ingenuity
concerning matters belonging to war;
fare. Considerable literature has also
appeared with reference to the social
and home life of the Japanese. Very
little, however, has been said concern
ing Yamato-Damashu, or the spirit of
the Japanese, excepting in matters of
progreSS1veneSS. The most interesting
phase of the Japanese has been hith-
erto overlooked. The following pecu-
harities characterize the typical Japan
csc.
His unlimited depth of patriotic SEN
timent;s his intensity either in love or
In nate; the remarkable calmness with
winch he faces great danger and his
presence of mind; his obedience to the
great and his philosophical resignation
to the inevitable. Nothing needs be
said concerning the patriotism of the
japanese, since so much has been said
about it in the current literature of
this country and in Europe. 1t is. how
ever, difficult for foreigners to compre-
bend in its full extent, this virtue of
the Japanese people. They have lived
In their seclusion for centuries. To
them, outside of their island home
there is no resting place. To live and
to die at home was their highest realiza-
ton and happiness. They have sung
Tor twenty five centuries that the love-
Hest, the sweetest, and the happiest
spot on earth is the land where cherry
blossoms drink deep the morning dews
and where the soft light of the rising
sun breaks upon the purple waters of
B1wa and snow-capped summit of the
Fugii Yama. Not to live and to die for
their country like this, they declare
would be a black sin that might pro-
woke the gods in paradise to anger.
Not being hampered by commercial-
ism, which is a menace to American
clvlllzation, nor being spoiled in their
sentiment of altruism by false Rem
than11an ethics, the japanese have lived
bearing each others burdens and shar-
ing each others joys. The entire ISL

They feel and realize that they must
die for each other and live also for
each other and for their country. Such
are the circumstances which bound the
entire islanders into one compact whole
Even q poor and despised woman is

ambition is 10 grow up to be soldiers

the Japanese Is to serve the mikado.
