JAPAN'S TREATY
With GERMANY
Believed to be Work of Boil
sheviki, but Action of
Japan Has
AROUSED suspicious

Paris.-The report that Japan
has entered into a secret treaty
with Germany Is believed to be
the work of the Bolsheviki in an at
tempt to divide the allies, but on
the other hand some actions of
Japan are regarded with suspic-
ion.
.'The memorandum attached to
the treaty says it is the work OF
the former Japanese Ambassador to
Berlin, who is alleged to be in Ber-
lin now. 1t explains Germans
downfall due to a policy of western
Orientation based upon the futile
hope of a fair peace with England,
whereas eastern OrieI tation would
have established a bridge across
Russia to Japan, forced England
to make peace and constituted
grave menace to America.
Schiedemann has since unofficial
ly denied the existence of this
treaty.
Although the above information
from Peking, which the Chinese
Foreign Office considered serious
enough to cable to Paris, refers to
the treaty as possibly bogus" and
propaganda, there is a feeling am
ong the Chinese here that there
| may be something in it. There have
| been other reports of Japan flirting
with Germany, even when hostili-
ties were in progress.
At recent meeting of the Paris
Economic Commission of the
Peace Conference the subject under
| discussion was the parity of gold
| and silver rates of exchange with
| reference to payment to Germans
| on contracts made with people
| of that country prior to July, 1914
| The Japanese delegate present sur
| prised his associates by asking
what method was suggested for a
settlement of the German contracts
subsequent to July, 1914. The Brit.
ish member who was presiding re.
piled with considerable astonish-
ment:
''Why, nobody is supposed tt
have had any contracts with the
Germans since the beginning of the
war;
In connection with all this it i.
being r@alled in Paris now tha
Terrauchi said last year when some
body asked him about the possibi
lity of an alliance between German,
and Japan. The Japanese Premiel
replied that in the rapidly chang
ing international relations it wa
impossible to tell what alliance
would be madein the future.
In the dispatch I sent you ol
! Wednesday on the Chinese claim
to be presented at the Peace Con
ference there was a paragraph OF
japanese war aims, as seen by Chin
to the effect that Japan had entere
the war solely for the selfish Dur
pose of Strengthening her grip il
China and that Japan had prevente
China from entering the war til
the other powers had said that the
would support japan against Chin
IN the Peace Conference. The me,
responsible for formulating thes
claims told me today that they ha
left much to be read between th
lines, and that one thing thew al
had in mind was the belief that Ia
pan was not only interested in dc
feat1ng Germany, but would max
secret alliance with German
whenever it became advantageou
to do so.

one feminine film satellite in all Amer

bomb into the ranks of the workers
of. picturedom in an interview in
which, according to a lot of experts on
motion picture ethics and technique
and all that sort of stuff, she has VIC
lated all the traditions of a properly
regulated motion picture production
enterprise.
Little Mildred Harris, star Of .sT'he

made the damaging admission that
she is not an actress.

Harris SO popular in such short time.
She insists that there, be no restraint
IN her pictures when freedom is the
logical requirement. When she
