JAPAN READY FOR MOVIES


There is wealth of material for pic
ture plays in the legends and folklore
which the Japanese, as you perhaps
know, treasure highly. Each mans aim.
whether ne be artist or artisan, writer
or official, is to add some one thing
worthy to endure among his country S
possessions 1t is because individuality
is fostered in this way that so many ex-
amples of "lost arts make Japan so
fascinating to art treasure lovers. And
if some sincere seeker will search it out,
he will find a surprising storehouse of
material in the literature of Japan that
will make wonderful pictures which
would tie popular, I think. You all like
1.-THE Bluebird" and mystery plays like
that We like them, too. but with us it
is one of the usual ways to use symbols
in presenting ideas we wish to make
permanent. 1t is so we teach our chill
dren. presenting lessons in a form they
grasp, as children of all countries grasp
at fairy tales. When boy reaches an
age when he is thinking what he will
do with his life we teach him, by the
use of the carp for symbol. that it is
his duty now to learn to swim upstream
and gain strength by resistance.

Horrors of War

q LANDING on the battlefield near
~ Queant, the grandiloquent Kali
ser seems for once to have been
struck speeches.. He is reported to
have made but one remark: What
have l not done to preserve the world
from these horrors
A characteristic statement. "What
have l not done? ?" Many things, Will
liam Hohenzollern, and when brought
to book for your sins of commission, as
we'll as commission, you will be re-
CURED to answer categorically. The
world, that part of it outside of de-
luded Germany, knows fairly well
what you have not done to prevent
this, the bloodiest and one of the
most indefensible wars ever waged on
mankind for loot and plumber.
The Kaiser's crocodile tears will
not becloud the issue. They will de-
ceive no one who knows who started
this war and why it was started
and that includes a large percentage
of the earth's civilized peoples.

That Familiar Sound,
Roar of the Eleachers

WINE America is at present
Wv engaged in the stern business
of war, baseball is still our national
pastime, the one game which symbol
ICES our democracy. The opening of
the baseball season in Birmingham
yesterday was "auspicious." When
was it ever otherwise? 1t comes at
a time when we are sadly in need of
something to tighten our burdens and
occasionally distract our minds from
the slaughter that is going on in Eu-
rope. @
There is music in the crack of the
Some of the "old, familiar faces"
will be missing, of course, among
players and fans, but as long as base
ball does not interfere with our prose-
cution of the war against Prussian-
ism. ~n should continue to give it the
enthusiastic support it received in
piping times of peace.
Football has been a material fac
tor in making British soldiers the
gallant fighters they are and base
ball has played its part in the lives
of practically every one of our boys
now in France, teaching them sports
manship, inspiring them with zeal
and pluck and giving them endurance.
The Kaiser and his war lords will
have to do more devilment than they
have yet accomplished before it will
be necessary for US to disband our
baseball teams, scrap balls and bats
and renounce all forms of healthful
recreation. We can still play games
and beat the Kaiser at the one game
be thinks he has mastered-war.

list BETWEEN EMPERoRs

From the New York World.
In his eager acceptance of the denial
by Emperor Charles that he ever sought
to betray Germany, Kaiser Wilhelm re-
veals a magnanimous mind. In other
circumstances he might have been justi-
fled in adopting a tone of suspicion and
resentment, but that can be better le1t
to the .emi-off1cial press OF Berlin. which
may be trusted to go no further than
its orders require.
Between Emperors in their fix little
matter .ike private double dealing is
pardonable offense. They do not move
on the same low moral planes as ordinary
mortals. If one of them, under tempta-
ton, should depart from the paths OF
honor and truth fixed for minor person
ages, it is merely proof that Hohenzol-
lerns and Hapsburgs may suit their own
convenience and make virtue OF it.
At the same time it is not wise to be
caught in the open, for plain people, even
in Germany and Austria, may not al
ways be able to make the necessary dis
tinctions in the rules of personal conduct.
AS the matter stands, Kaiser Wilhelm
holds Emperor Charles in increased ad-
miration and reverence. They have been
drawn closer together than ever in bonds
of royal cousinship. The Austrian's Sc
cret letter on the subject of peace and
published in Paris, Goes
not exist because the revelation of its
contents is embarrassing. If the case
had been the other way about, Kaiser
Wilhelm, as a matter of course, would
have given the same noble exhibition OF
undying loyalty to his ally and expected
the same indignant assurances of graft
tude and affection.

The reason why we have never joined
