Actresses for Japanese Stage.

Although woman is credited as
the founder Of the Japanese stage, no
name of an actress adorns its history
the onagata has reigned supreme.
But the artificial custom Of substitute
ing men for women is about to give
way to the onrush of modern ac-
tresses, and one of the most unique
customs Of the stage is thus threat
ened to be superseded by real wearers
Of petticoats.

DEBT PLAN IS HIT
BY FRENCH LEADER
Union of Economic interests
Also AssaiIs Berenger as
Being Too Optimistic.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 17.-Criticism Of
the American tariff and the demand
that the French Parliament amend
the American debt settlement agree
ment were voiced last night at a con-
venten of the Union OF Economic
interests, the most powerful COM
mercial and industrial body in France.
A resolution characterizing both the
Washington and London accordS as
unacceptable in their present form was
adopted. its main point being the de-
mand that Parliament amend the
Mellon l3crenger agreement especial
ly, $50 AS to make a settlement pos
sible and equitable"
Before adoption Of the resolution,
Deputy Louis Dubois, former presi-
dent of the Reparations Commission,
made a long address against ratifica-
ton, which probably will not come up
in the French Chamber until early
next year.
NJ. Dubois criticized Ambassador
Eerenger for not having attempted to
obtain "A reduction in the total amount
Of the claims of the United States on
France, inst aad of contenting himself
merely with scaling down the interest
rates He also criticized NJ. Berenger
as having undue optimism concern
ing the capacity of France to pay
from 1880 on.
The French deputy maintained that
the total payments for the g. years
really worked out at Sc. 848, 900 900, in
sead Of the lower sums previously an
nounced in France. He declared the
present tariff rates in the United
States We're insurmountable barriers
10 the French, who were desirous Of
securing the necessary money to pay
their debts by the sale of merchandise
in America.
I'VE received the substance Of war
time advances in the shape Of mer-
chandise from the United States" eX-
claimed NJ. Dubois in the midst of ap-
plause, why cannot we repay in
kind?''
NJ Dubois then argued that the
United States Treasury already has
regained a large portion of advances
TO France by war profit taxes. He
evoked great applause when he read
extracts from the Congressional
Record Of speeches made by Repre-
sentatives Wainwright. Hill, Crisp and
Gibson, the tenor of which was that
the Mellon-Berenger accord was not
lenient enough to France.

Both were in fragrant contradiction to
