Jap Minister Blames
Leniency of Powers in
Outbreak of Chinese
BY DUKE N. PARRY,
international News Service.

TOKYO, May 9.-Torikichi Obata,
who has just resigned as japanese
minister to China, in an exclusive
interview with International News
Service today declared that 1.-The
leniency OF America, Japan and
England towards China is respon-
sible for bandit outrages in that
country such as the recent seizure
Of foreign passengers from a Shang.
hai-Peking express.
THE blame for this and other
Chinese outrages lies partly at the
doors of the powers who have had
close dealings with China-America,
Britain and JAPAN" said the Japa-
nese diplomat. "These nations have
conceded SO much to. China and
they have been so lenient that now
things have gone too far. We are
wondering where and when there
is going to be halt.
This is not the first time a train
has been help up by the brigands.
Japanese nationals have been vic
TINS. This is merely one of a
long list of outrages by Chinese.
The Japanese do not forget that
burned.
"Unquestionably Mr.. Schurman
Jacob Gould Schurman, American
ambassador at Peking) is angry
over this last outrage. But he is
only experiencing what we have
all had to bear here too long.
What have the Chinese done in
Shantung. They have ruined the
roads, cut down the forests and
brought about the worst conditions
in many years. The outside world
should know the facts"
China adds another national dis
grace" said the Tokyo Ashai in
commenting editorially upon the
Shantung train attack. Let China
organize a stable government be-
fore 1t is too late. That is our
advice to the 40O,O0O,0OO people in
that country.

WIN the Meqabhone?

nEL ANDREWS of Thomas Fl. Ince's
- staff of directors, who is now
directing Judgment of the Storm"
the initial Palmer photoplay, made
the first official explanation CT the
use of megaphone to a rather
cynical layman the other day.
why do you fellows have to shout
directions through a negaphone to
q couple OF actors in a parlor scene
at ten-foot range? Looks like af
fectation to me.' this worthy do
clared.
Mr.. Andrews explained gently:
mo director uses a megaphone If
he can avoid it. OF course, in any
scene in which there are many
people, its purpose is obvious. In a
unconventional scene directed at close
range. no one uses it. But In high
ly emotional scene, the actors are
more or less deaf to all that goes
outside. They are living the action
OF that scene so strongly that
nothing but megaphonic orders, even
at close range. can break into the
little world of imagination they have
built around themselves"
