Countries Will Erect Barriers
 Against Importing Foreign Goods.
 Tokio, April 4.-Prediction that all the nations of the world will adopt a protective tariff policy after the war in order to check the importation of foreign goods and encourage home manufacturers, was made by viscount Ichiro Motono. the foreign minister, in an address before the Japan For eign Trade association. The best way to meet the situation which would re- suit he said; would be to carry on manufacturing industries in the coun- try where the goods manufactured are to be sold.
 '.In such country as Russia where industry still is in an infantile state," he said, such enterprises can he car- ried on with the best possible result and to the best imaginab ble advantage. I strongly recommend this theory to our enlightened merchants
 viscount Motono urged the Japan ese manufacturers to stop the expor- tation of inferior goods which, he said, was damaging the commercial reputation of the Japanese empire.

'AMERICANO" AT
 ORPHEO THEATRE

Douglas Fairbanks athletic star of Triangle-Fine Arts, again has a part in "The Americana that gives him full opportunity to display his ath- letic prowess. The play is fairly saturated with action, and will be shown at the Orpheo theatre Monday.
 Fairbanks goes to Paragonia, a South American country, arrives just while the country is in the throes of revolution, starts out to discover the former president, who has been showed out of office by a usurper, rescues the daughter, makes the usurper take to the bushes, reinstates the legitimate president and inci- dentally wins the hand of the latter's daughter for life mate. He scales walls, climbs trees, whips a whole company of South American soldiers in a subterranean passage and comes up smiling.
