Washington, d. C.Japan is pre-
pairing to call the administration s
attention to the Pacific coast land
disturbance once again because of
the anti-Japanese results in the re-
cent elections.
1t has developed that in California
and Washington, the two states
where there Is the strongest anti
Japanese feeling, the legislators will
be Overwhelmingly opposed to the
Asfatics.
According to an official in the Dip
lomatic service here Japan is now
considering whether to precipitate
the land question before the outcome
of the present war or whether to
wait until after 1T closes to make
her next move. She Is in strong
position to insist upon iler claims
whichever way she decides.
What Japan VIII Demand.
Tt is said that Japan will insist
that her citizens shall be given rights
similar to those enjoyed by citizens
of all other nations, or else that the
American open door shall be closed
to Europeans, just as is now closed
to Asiatics. One of the main reas-

Japan's contention undoubtedly
will be more embarrassing to the

the offensive by the Germans, a
movement by which the heart of

erations. Petrosrad does not deny
that the Germans have resumed the
offensive, but the dispatches from
the Russian capital declare that such
a movement will not cause the
slightest diversion from the Rus

4 time or in my great agitation it

I'VE have heard a great deal about
the marriage we have celebrated to-
day, but have we not forgotten
something? What is marriage? Is 1t
the execution Of a contract? Is 1t the
signing of a register? Is 1t even the
taking of an oath before an altar? No.
Marriage is the sacred covenant
which two souls make with each
other, the woman with the man, the
man with the woman. when she
chooses him from all other men, when
he chooses her from all other women,
to belong to each other forever SO
that no misfortune, no storm of life.

I had dropped my head again, but
under my eyelashes I could see that
the company were sitting spellbound
Only my husband was shuffling in his
seat, and the bishop was plucking at
his gold chain.
MY bishop" said Father Dan, has
told us of the submission a wife owes
to her husband, and of her duty to be
lovely and wise and faithful in his
eyes. But isn't it the answering

this time that the next words were
lost to me. When l came to myself
again Father Dan was saying:
Think what marriage means to a
woman-a young girl especially 1t
means the breaking of old ties, the
beginning of a new life, the setting
out into an unknown world on a voy-
age from which there can be no re-
turn. In her weakness and her help
lessness she leaves one dependency
for another the shelter of a father for
the shelter of a husband. What does
she bring to the man she marries
Herself, everything she is, everything
she can be, to be made or marred by
him. and never. never never to be the
same to any other man whatsoever as
long as life shall last"
More than ever now, but for other
reasons, l wanted to fly from the
room.

His voice was breaking-I was sob

that he was facing about in our d.

hand to my husband

faithful to her, as you will have TO

BORN COMEDIAN

The term "a born comedian" finds
illustration in Knute Erickson, Har-
risburg's favorite comedian, appearing
at the head of delightful one-act
musical comedy called THE Seminary
Girl" at the Orpheum this week. MIR.
Erickson essays the role of Daffy Dan,
an escaped lunatic, and while much
of his comedy business is new. the
character remains practically the
same. However the act is decidedly
new here, in the personnel of the
cast, the theme of the playlet. and
the staging. During the action of the
piece, Mr.. Erickson wanders on the
stage at irrelevant intervals and acts
a nonsensicaI nut" One of the best
things Mr.. Erickson does is roll a
cigaret. II ought to know how" said
the comedian when complimented on
the ingenious stunt. II have done IL
often enough, though I never touch q
