somewhat upon the effect of casting a
woman for it's central figure. For the
rest the names of successful drama

In the field of grand opera we shall
have the first productions of three OPP
eras by composers of note. These are
''The Girl of the Golden West" by
Puccini; ''The Kings Children" by
Humperdinck, and "YsobeI," by Mas
eagni, for the first nights of which
these composers will visit America.
Many new comedies, dramas and comic
operas have already appeared or are
promised for the near future, so that
the quantity of our stage novelties is
sure to be ample.
One of the new plays that promise
to have long runs is WinchelI Smiths

A new play by Margaret Mayo, en-

This is farce in three acts, in which
all sorts of funny complications follow
the borrowing of baby by a young
wife. Later on in the season we are
to have new play by George AIDE.

The usual negotiations were but pre-
lude to war, the first act In the modern
drama Of the far east.
China as a result of the war lost all
right of interference in the affairs of
Korea. But the exit of China proved
to be merely the entry Of Russia on
the stage. Japan saw clearly that
Russia's line of expansion would lie
toward the Pacific through Manchuria.
She saw that Russia's eyes were bent
on Korea. and she resolved to be first
in the field and place herself as guard
ian at the Pacific gateway of Manchu-
ria.
Japan's plan seemed to have sue
ceeded when the intervention of the
powers in 1896 barred her progress
and installed Russia in Liaotung.
Thenceforward Japan had but one
idea-Russia must be dislodged from
Korea.
Matters came to a head toward the
close. of the year 1908. Japan demand
ed that Russia withdraw her troops
from Manchuria. Russia declined, and
long negotiations followed. in the
course of which Japan offered to efface
herself entirely in Manchuria if Rus
STA would do the same in Korea. An

Korea, and what has been the result?
That country has been laid on its
back, so to speak-fn fact, wiped off
the map. Korea is no longer Korea,
the Hermit Kingdom, but She-Sun, the
Land of the Morning Calm. 1t is part
of Japan. having just been annexed by
that country. The emperor becomes
Prince Gi and will rank lower than
the Japanese crown prince. The civil
list will not be curtailed, and there
will be more money for the court to
spend, as there will be fewer retain
ers. Narning calm will be succeeded
by evening calm where once Korea
was, and another ancient nation has
been smothered out of existence.
Japan by the formal annexation of
the Hermit Kingdom has at last real

all her efforts have been directed for
twenty years, to gain which she fought

countless thousands of her subjects.
