be only nominally the head while the
real active government will be in the

Japs Not Miliarists
During the writer's stay in Japan
he has been very closely connected
with all classes of Japanese from the
| ordinary laborer in the factory to the
Influential financial man and practi-
cally without exception he finds them
in favor or reducing the present ex-
penses of the government on the army
and navy, which by the way is more
than SO per cent of the entire in
come. and expending this money for
the improvement of the school system
and for the improvement of streets
and roads. He, also finds that in
practically every instance the common
people are not militarily inclined and
have no i'll feeling toward America
but on the other hand he does find
resentment Of the California laws,
which the Japanese interpret as being
aimed directly at Japan and as the
Japanese people are proud race and
very sensitive they feel hurt to have
their former allies in the great war
turn against them in this manner.
They do say, however, that any coun-
try has the right to determine what
their population shall consist of and
otherwise control their population. The
only point being that they do not wish
to be Disseminated against.
AS to the liability Of any serious
trouble between Japan and America,
its the writer's opinion that there is
no grounds for such fear at the pres
ent time, unless cerain newspapers
both in Japan and in America con-
tinue to keep this problem in front
of the people until it is impossible to
come to an understanding regarding
the trivial differences which occasion
ally occur. In this connection we might
state that the newspaper articles on
the subject OF war between Japan and
America are almost identical on both
sides Of the Pacific, and it would
not be impossible to imagine that all
of these articles came from the same
pen, the only difference being that
where in America we read that Japan
is building large navy, is training
a large army to come over here, the
Japanese paper says that America is
building a large navy and is training
a large army to 60 to Japan, other
wise the articles are almost identi-
cal.

Thrilling Play
Showing at the
Brotman's Rialto

Count di Montrone awakened
gradually. He seemed restless in
his bed. Why was It so stuffy :?
And dark? He liked plenty OF air
and sunshine in the morning. Well.
he would get up and open the
shutters Of his cheerful bedroom,
the windows of which looked out
over the prettiest garden in beau
tufl Italy.
AS he tried to sit up, his head
struck something hard. After =
few moments struggle, the truth
flashed over him-he was in a
casket! In that moment his hair
turned white. With the frenzy of
despair he forced the narrow con-
fines Of his prison and broke
through the top. He sat up to
find himself in the family vault,
sitting in state between his ances-
tors.
How he escaped from the vault
to live again, but disguised, among
the friends who thought him dead !;
how he finally was revenged upon
the false relative who had caused
his premature burial, and how he
finally won the girl he loved. is

Melody" the Universal photodrama
