the. Weekend, one of the best
Known of metropolitan periodicals,
land the Weekend learns with
regret that their coming is not re-
garded with any great satisfaction
by the more fashionable West End
hotels.
THE chief London hotels live
largely by their American guests
and between the American and
Japanese there is barrier of mu-
tual dislike. 1t would be foolish,
said a gentleman who voices the
opinion of the directors of two of
our great hotels. to receive the
Japanese as guests at our estab-
lishments. We depend almost en-
tirely upon our American clientele
and we know that we should lose
every one of these Americans if,
when they came here. they were
brought constantly in touch with
the Japanese, Singularly enough
there is no objection to the Chi
nese and it is difficult to under
stand this prejudice against the
Japanese. but it is very real
thing and no hotel proprietor can
afford to ignore it.

FRANCE TOSSED
ABOUT, He SAYS
Maitre Labor Predicts a
Gloomy Future for French
Government Unless There
Is Reform.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS,
Paris Correspondent of the United
Press Association.

PARIS, April 2.-Maitre Labori,
whose writings have been for some
time widely read in America as we'll
as in England and on the CONT
nent, paints gloomy future for
France, and so disguised has he be-
come that he will not be a candi-
date for deputy again.
Parliamentary CONTROL he says
in announcing his retirement from
his seat in the Palais Bourbon, lis
impossible. Members alike, wheth-
er of the majority or of the oppo-
sition, are dependent upon the min
listers to whom they even have to
apply for common justice to their
constituents, this having become a
favor"
Now Labori's voice has been
heard in the chamber of deputies
I n four years. He was elected from
Fontainebleau. He is a radical and
the radicals-republican radicals
and rad.cals-socialists-are in
power and have been for some time
Georges Clemenceau was of this
bloc" The BRAND cabinet Though
BRAND himself belongs to the So
cialistic element) is radical yet, it
having picked up the package where
Clemenceau dropped it some
months ago. The radicals alone
number something like $50 mem
bers in the chamber out of a total
of approximately 575.
GOVERNMENT TOSSED ABOUT.
Therefore Labori's disgust is not
a symptom of sour grapes-not
necessarily, anyway.
"While the ministers control the
chamber of deputies, it must not be
thought that they are a powerful
body. They are not" says Labori
THE truth of the business is, no
one is less powerful than a min
lister" From this conclusion,
coupled with the dependency of the
deputies. the maitre declares that
between the exigencis of a dem
ocracy which is daily growing more
imperious, and those of asfinaf OH
garchy defending its own interests
which are not those of the state,
parliament and the government are
tossed about like a shuttlecock.
Again he gives verbal whit of
grapeshot" at the cabinet, which
he says is never upset or over
thrown on question of principle.
PRESIDENT SHOULD HAVE
MnpE pOWEp
at falls at an hour when groups
| of persons and lobby intriguers
have decided on its fall. And then
nothing is changed but the men.
Even those who by their strength
overthrow the ministries, no longer
succeed them"
The remedy for all this, accord
ing to Labori is proportional rep
resentation andO electoral reform
generally. The president of the re-
public should be the real head of
the government and should use the
plerogatives bestowed upon him by
the law whenever necessary. In
other words, the maitre would see
France governed on line similar TO
those in the United States. the
president leading in all govern
mental matters. This cannot be
done at once and Labori urges that
no violent reforms be attempted
suddenly.

LONDON, April 2,-Every time
there is an outburst of Japanese
American war talk" English di.
plomacy shakes in its shoes and
prays fervently for peace. The
British government would almost
rather fight Japan itself than have
the United States do it. 1t would
be less embarrassing.
England and Japan are tied to-
gether, Extensively and defenisvely
by a very tight treaty, but it is
treaty which few stay at home
Englishmen like and which colonial
Englishmen positively loathe. Brit
ish statesmen admit now that it
was mistake for their govern
ment to renew it, as it did long
ago, and If sufficient excuse could
be found for breaking it no one
would be sorry Any incident grave
enough to warrant the breaking
of the treaty would probably be
grave enough to warrant hostilities
and, in such situation, England
| could go into them with good grace
Such a campaign would be popular
with all BritOns with whom war
is popular at all.
ENGLAND WOULD ASSIST
JAPAN
But fighting between America
and Japan would be quite a diff
ferent thing. Under terms of the
Anglo-Japanese treaty, England
would be bound to help Japan. The
only way out of, 1t would be by
reputation of the treaty and to
have to repudiate so hard and fast
an agreement under these circum-
stances would be, to say the least
| of it. indecent

Press.
BERLIN, April 2.-Once again
the kaiser has stirred Germany to
the depths. This time he has done
1t by temporarily becoming con-
WINGED democrat and a pro-Semite.
Aristocratic Germany is mad with
rage. The "Junkers" are up in
arms against what they consider a
betrayal of their privileges and
rights. The influential court
cliques and reactionary political
groups are in despair.
1t all started quite harmlessly
when the kaiser invited the most
prominent among his Jewish sub
jects to accompany him on a re-
cent North Sea cruise aboard the
Kaiser Wilhelm II. The party in
eluded thirteen admirals, six gen
erals, three cabinet ministers and
men of prominence in science, art
and letters. Altogether the guests
numbered one hundred, and could
rightly be said to be really repre-.
sentatives of the makers of mod
ern Germany.
PROMINENT JEWS WERE
INVITED.
But the Jews, the all-pOwerful
heads of German finance, were the
guests that really counted. They
included: Paul Schwabach, head
of the banking firm OF of Bleich-
roeder; Fritz Friedlander, mining
mapnate. Carl FuerStenDurg
banker; Emil Rathenau, managing
director of the Berlin Electrical
Works: Ludwig Delbrueck, banker,
and Arthur Gwinner, director of the
Deutsche bank.
These are the men who control
the money market of Berlin. They
are the keen business men of the
country with whom both the kaiser
and his government must keep on
cordial terms. They know their
power and are not to be placated
BY pleasure cruises or imperial
favor. They are also self-made
men, who, with no initial advan-
tages of rank or fortune, have come
out on top against the strenuous
opposition of the old nobility and
aristocrats. They realize the OBJ
stacles that have been placed in
their way and in turn they are the
bitterest enemies of the reaction
aries who rule the Fatherland.

STOLE AWAY WHILE
HUSBAND SNOR[D
Robert B. Bruchmann Says That
His Wife Found Other Men
to Be princes"

OAKLAND, March 23.--Waiting until
her husband had fallen asleep, Mrs
Lillian Bruckman of Alameda used to
crawl quietly out of bed, don her
clothes and steal away for good time,
if the story of her husband, Robert B.
Bruchmann, manager of the Pacific
typewriter company, is true. Bruch-
mann filed a cross complaint today to
his wifes divorce suit, in which he
makes this and other accusations.
Bruchmann says that his wife lost
her affection for him and used to ma g
him persistently. He was no good, she
told him, while other men she knew
were princes" She continued to nag
him, Bruchmann declares, until he got
nervous prostration and lost his mind
for a while. Her affection did not last
long. he says, for she kicked him out of
bed 10 days after their wedding.
Testimony was taken today in the
trial Of the Klopp divorce case, which
has been going on for several days be-
fore Judge Ellsworth, tending to show
that George w. Kuopp, the husband,
who is accused by his wife, Jennie, of
marrying her for her money and then
eontenting himself with borrowing
money from her, did make himself USE
full about the house.
Jessie Bonney secured an interlocu-
tory decree of divorce today against
Arthur Bonney on the ground of ex-
treme cruelty.

sertion was begun today by William A

OAKLAND. March 23.-Preparations
for an appeal from Judge Wells over
ruling of demurrers in the Buffers will
contest are being made, and if the
present contest proves successful the
proponents of the will are to make
their appeal on matters of law con-
nected with the demurrers as well as
on rulings in the contest proper. To-
Gay Judge Wells approved the bill of
exceptions prepared by the proponents
to his rulings when he disposed of the
demurrers.
The proponents of the will, who are
j. G. McKinstry, r. a. Bray, DR. Alex
ander Garceau and ID. S. Edwards, ex-
ecutors, raised the point in the demur-
rers that it could not be gathered from
the contest whether Mrs. Buffers will
was invalid because she was of un-
sound mind or because she was actu-
ated by desire TO make peace with
her husband, Henry Buffers. by leav-
ing the bulk of her property to her
youngest son, Henry Buffers Jr. Judge
Wells ruled that this. point was not
well taken and legal obstacles to the
trial of the contest have now been
cleared away.
