Drama
When Johnny Comes
Marching Home Built
Upon War Fervor
BY HEYwOOD BROUN

Producers who know the theatrical
effectiveness Of waving one flag can
not resist the opportunity presented
by the fact that we now have four
teen allies. This may explain why the
Civil War light opera when Johnny
Comes Marching Home" ends with a
tableau Of English, French. Belgian,
Italian, Russian, Australian and Cana
dian soldiers on the stage.
The piece, described on the pro-
eramme as a patriotic military OPERA
has been revived, Of course, under the
assumption that /, is timely. A world
catastrophe is responsible for the
opera. However. it seems 20 US that
the least timely occasion upon which
TO sing war. dance war and play war ~
in n year when there is war. Stolen
orders, rumbling drums and all the rest
Of the strategy of the playhouse IS
much more successful wnen war is re-
mote and romantic.
The music Of the light opera at the
New Amsterdam is admirable. Julian
Edwards has been particularly happy
in his ensembles. There are several
good solos as well. and the good voice
OF Edward Basse is we'll employed IN
Flag of Ny Country" and MY Own
United States Arthur Cunningham =
spirited singing is also factor IN sew
eral solos and his voice is indispensable
in the ensembles. Nannette Flack is
acceptable as Constance. The book. by
Stanislaus STANCE, is without merit.
The final tableau is effective in spite
OF the fact that it has nothing what
ever 20 do with the opera. Not all our
allies are represented, but there is "a
stageful. and each contingent was
wildly applauded last night. The French
were perhaps little more popular
than any others, but there was also a
rousng welcome for the Canadians.
The Russians carried red flag and
marched TO the tune Of God Save the
Gar" but everybody knows that things
are still much unsettled in that country.

Terauchi Puts Into Effect
New Policy Toward

San Francisco. May s.-Cable sd-
vices received here by the Japanese
press say that Japan has acceded 20
China's wishes to raise her custom
tariff. The import tariff Of China is
to be increased 2i2 per cent.
Il means decided sacrifice on the
part of the exporting merchants Of
Japan. This in turn means a good deal
Of advantage to the ever-embarrassed

meeting held on the first of May to
make the matter public.
Chinese Tariff ~ Per Cent
The government, therefore, has in
structed Baron Hayashi, the Japanese
Minister at Peking. by cable TO give Il
formal notice Of Japan's consent for
the raising of China's import tariff.
~ per cent ad valOrem.
4 large number of manufacturers
and export merchants Of Japan. espe-
cially those round about the city of
Osaka. opposed this raise on the
ground that il would mean an annual
loss to them of over 100000 yen
81 100000.
The real meaning Of this action Of
VI
Osaka merchants would lose three
million yen a year. or China would
gain several times three million yen OF
revenue. 1t means the birth of new
japanese policy toward China.
Importance of Chinese Policy
The one supreme article in the polit-
ical creed of Japan of to-day is her
Chinese policy. If Japan and China
can and DO come together IN solid
alliance the future sky Of Far
Eastern politics promises nothing but
smiles. II not, all Will be storm. The
people of Japan have been demanding
a new Chinese policy for years-de-
handing It for the one supreme need
Of their international existence. The
Okuma Cabinet failed to answer the
call; the presentation Of the twenty
one demands at feklng IN 1910 wa
something in the nature of funeral
Grafton on its failure. Hence the
Ierauchi regime.

portfolio Of Premier Count Terauchl

his speeches before the Imperial Diet
and before the conference Of project
ural governors. But by lar the most
tangible evidence Of Japan's change Of
heart toward China came with the
settlement Of the sad little fracas be-
tween the japanese and the Chinese
troops out there in Mongolia. known
as the Cheng- chiatun affair.
The Terauchi Cabinet settled the
question by waving the right to sta
ton japanese police in the Mongolian
towns where there were neither
japanese nor Chinese police 10
protect the life and property OF
japanese traders. And now Japan ac-
codes 20 China's wishes 10 raise her
customs tariff. And somehow It gives
us the sensation Of the frst-nighter
facing the first scene in what prom
ises TO be tremendous drama.

State Banks Oppose
Reserve System Plan
Object to stepping in the
Dark" Says Chairman
Elliott C.. McDougall

State banks are developing a strong
opposition against entering the Federal
Reserve system. This became appar-
out yesterday at the annual meeting OF
the American Bankers Association at
Brisrcliff Lodge, Briarclif, y. Y, when
Elliott c. McDougal, chairman Of the
executive committee Of the Associs-
ton Of State Banks Of New York, an
nouuced fatty that the bankers Of this
state were opposed to stepping in the
dark
This. he continued, would be neees-
sary if the banks were to approve the
plan Of entering the Reserve system
before IL was known whether pending
amendments to the system would be
adopted.
The office of Controller Of the Cur
rcncy should be abolished while the
Federal Reserve Board is in existence"
"a 1 Mr.. McDougall. That is one con-
dItion our bank will insist upon before
entering the sysem. The Secretary Of
the Treasury and the Controller of the
Currency are ex officio members of the
Federal Reserve Board. The board, of
course. should be an Independent body
and free from politics. This, obvious
". is imposs bic while it has such ex
oificio members"
Still another objection 20 the plan
found by state banks has TO do with
the collection Of fees for collection OF
out-of-toWn checks. This one feature,
they argued. would make the differ
ence between dividends and no divi-
bends for some banks. The entire
question in which state banks are so
vitality interested will come up for con-
sideration at meeting Of the council
tomorrow.
Bankers Take Serious View

in which the bankers view the war SIT

posters appeared about BrlarcllT
Lodge to-day, in which the dangers OF
extravagance are set forth in colored
type of large size.
'Are you helping the Germans? :" IS
a question at the head of one OF these
posters. In answer, the document says.
"You are helping the Germans II you

buv extravagant clothes, when you EN-
nlov more servants than you need,
when YOU waste coal. electricity or
gas. when YOU eat and drink more than

1t is probable that the bankers will
take official action, pledging themselves
70 make definite personal sacrifices as
a patriotic duty tomorrow.
