we'll schemed Japanese diplomacy she
will become nothing more than trtbu-

There is one great drawback to this
scheme Of the Japanese however, which
will either wreck their plans completely
or bring on another war, If the Jap
anfse were not such opportunists in the
policies of the world. they would realize
that their treaties with England and the
United states viii not avail them any
thing In the long run. For, no matter
how strongly they seem to Have closed
their hands on helpless China, and, for
the moment. have her firmly in their
grasp, their power must ever rest on
an insecure basis SO long as they do not
produce the best possible international
situation against the day of their reck-
oning with America.
My belief 10 that Germany lost her
opportunity to secure herself against the
world war when we neglected to con-
clude an alliance with Japan prior to
1914, This at that time was certainly
feasible. If the alliance had been oe-

Pauline Frederick Will Be

The struggle between mother love,
sAlf-eacrifice and revenge furnishes the
main dramatic scenes In Pauline Fred
Arick's unusual picture, Bonds OF
Love" which will be presented at the
Majestic Sunday for four days,
In this photodrhma Miss Frederick
plays the role Of governess to q little
boy who has lost his mother, Her as
ISOLATION with hms develops all the
mother love In her nature, but she de-
cides to leave the employ Of his father
when the child's relatives make hN"
position unbearAhle with continual ret.
erences to the sanity character OF the
first wife. They accuse her Of BcheIn-
ing to marry her rich employer.
But when she saves the child from
death In a runaway motorboat, and IL
nally when she discovers that the first
wife had been untrue to her husband,
she Is willing to let the husband believe
the worst Of her rather than that the
stigma OF shame be attached to the
mother OF the little boy, However, the
father learns the truth, and begs the
governess to become the mother OF his
child.
A pair of unusual gratters appear In
Bonds of Love" Their aims are not
novel, but their means for obtaining
them are as vicious as they are Singh

spongv sort of individual. whose pres
ence helped to pad out tho emptiness
of the large living room
Together the brother and sister
planned to keep their brother-in- Law
from marrying again and to ingratiate
themselves in his favor SO that their
lives might be made soft and comfort
able. To this end, they decided to keep
the memory OF their sister ever green
In the thoughts Of her husband. They
consecrated her former room as a mu-
scum, and spoke about her on every
possible occasion,
The plan worked for about year,
when new governess was engaged for
the dead wife's little boy. And the
spontaneous affection which sprang up
between the two convinced the husband
that his little boy needed mother.
Despite the Vaccinations Of the graft
ing brother and sister n-law to black
on her character, the little boy found
new mother and the social grafters
lost their means OF sustenance.
