The Inside story" Of the treaty's
framing is this:
prince Tokugawa, japanese dele
gate made the first public sugges-
ton that an understanding between
the United States. Great Britain and
Japan be framed to replace the An
glo-Japanese alliance. He then at
dinner broached the subject TO Ar
thur Balfour and Sir Auckland Ged-
des Of the British delegation.
The British approved the plan
but suggested there might be some
difficulty in getting It through the
Senate. Tokugawa replied Il might
be in the form OF an understand
ing" not necessitating Senate ratifi-
cation, instead OF n trea'.'.
Hughes, early in the conference,
informed Balfour and Baron Kato,
chief Japanese delegate. that this
country stood for the scrapping OF
the alliance. and tho conference
might as well go no further unless
this We're done. Great Britain and
Japan stated their willingness TO
scrap the alliance under satisfac-
tory plan to replace Il.
Seeing this was the only way OF
getting rid Of the alliance which he
regarded as a menace 30 the United
States, Hughes entered into negotia-
tions after making It plain that the
new understanding must be In the
form OF a treaty to be ratified by
the Senate and must be In such form
as to preserve the peace OF the Pa
clfic.
Balfour submitted the first draft
in the form OF an agreement be-
tween the three countries. This was
said to be virtually a triple alliance

MISS BONNER IN
BOSTON CONCERT

Miss Elizabeth Bonner, contralto,
formerly Of this city, delighted
music lovers Of Boston at a concert
she gave in that city recently. Philip
Hale. widely-known Boston critic
OF the Boston Herald, writes OF
Bonner's singing. as follows;
Miss Bonner. born at Whining
ton, Del. studied singing in that
city. Philadelphia and New York.
Her voice is Of true contralto quail
ity. rich. rather sombre. a voice OF
extended range, not incapable OF
expressing light and gay sentiments
but best suited to the Interpretation
of majestic. solemn or intensely
passionate music. Yesterday her
, intonation was pure and her enun-
citation as a rule distinct. At times
her tones were unsteady, especially
in the attack Of a phrase. Possibly
this was from nervousness, for she
was singing here for the first time
As an interpreter, she interested
the hearor. She evidently felt the
music she sang; intelligently, no
because she had been coached int
semblance OF emotional feeling
songs that were the most wortl
while. she sang the best"
The Boston Globe. in speaking o
Miss Bonner. said: Her voice is
real contralto OF considerable vol
ume and more smoothness than Il
ofe.n found. She sings with an
instructive command OF phraseologl
and rhythm. clear diction. and con
siderable feeling. At her best she
is a remarkably fine singer, whose
success on the concert platform
should prove marked"
Miss Bonner sang in Chicago last
Sunday afternoon and in Cleveland
on Tuesday night.
