for the most part the happy effect Of
Americas magnificent generosity to
Japan's earthquake-strick millions"
l think this writer correctly expressed
the feeling of the Japanese toward
America.
While Americans were engaged In
Red Cross activities, the plans of the
Japanese naval and military author
tiles were concentrating on the recon
struction of the capital, having regard
to the contamination Of aerial defense.
Even before victims of the earthquake
could be buried, the military author
tiles announced their air plans for the
new Toxic. According to these plans,
big airdromes were to be established
in the four corners Of the new Toxic,
kawa and Chobu.
Air Defense Considered.
Anti.aircraft guns installed at diff.
ferent places would maintain proper
communication between the central
government buildings and the differ
ent parts of the city, as with the diff
ferent suburban districts, and called
for the erection of a large tower Of
great height, like the Eiffel tower in
Paris. The naval and military au-
thorities were agreed in concluding
from the lessons Of the earthquake
that the reconstruction of the capital
must be planned with a view to it's air
defense. Maj. Gen. Uyhera, command
ant of the army aviation school, called
attention to the more destructive
power than the earthquake and flames
that an air fleet, assuming the often.
sive, could display against a city like
Toxic, and emphasized the paramount
Importance of taking that opportunity
on capital reconstruction for the con-
summation of its air defense.
Gen. Uyhera expressed the opinion
that he did not think it possible that
any enemy air squadron could take
Toxic in time of war from a base eS,
tablished within the territory of the
empire. 1t was, nevertheless, highly
probable, in his opinion, he stated
that an enemy would attack the CAPT
tai of the empire by making the most
judicious use of airplane mother ships
or cf airplanes with a large radius Of
action. After referring to the allied
powers experiences of suffering from
enemy airplane attack during the late
World War Gen. Uhyera recommended
the construction of dugouts, b; sements
and underground streets in formulat
ing the plan of capital reconstruction
Would Bar Foothold.
Japan's naval experts, on the other
hand, at the same time urged plans
for concentrating the defense 81
Oniami Oshami and the BONN Islands
whenever occasion requires after the
termination of the naval treaty con
cluded at Washington, because, as
they expressed it, the safest way is
to afford the enemy no foothold in
the adjacent seas of the empire in
time of war.
TIL, subtle thing about this public
announcement is that we in America

prescribed by the Washington Confer

1928 Japan will have in actual COM
mission a well balanced fleet of capt.
tai ships. fast cruisers, submarines,
destroyers. aircraft carriers, which
will need no replacement. In addition
to her battle fleet of 10 capital ships
she will have 25 new fast light
cruisers. capable of steaming 33 knots
per hour and ranging in size from
$500 to 10000 tons. Since 1922 her
policy has put or is putting rapidly
into commission some 100 destroyers
and so submarines. Her new pro-
gram of cruiser construction was
adopted in 1925, when she attempted
to justify to the world her large build
ing program, by claiming that it was
necessary to preserve the balance of
power. Some fast cruisers and
20 large submarines were then started

 Alexander is now thirty-fve years old and an officer in the Italian flying corps It is to him they want to marry my Al:ane, Muratore's real daughter. who was six years old when he and Cavalierf went to America. All through the war Muratore never communicated with his little daughter.

 In self-defense I obtained the annul- ment of his legal recognition. 1 wanted my girl to remain my girl 1 refused to be considered as nothing better than the child's wet nurse, and when 1 read in the social columns of the papers that "Mademoiselle Muratore" was being en. tertained by wealthy American friends of her father, decided that Made. moiselle Muratore, for whom l had

 He was then married to Madame Be riga, also of the Opera Comique, but they were very unhappy together and had decided to divorce. That was in 1905. About two years later, in Janu- ary, 1908, my little girl, Ariane, was born. This was exactly ten months be- fore the Muratore- Beriza divorce finally was granted by the French courts.
 Lucien and I had been ideal lovers and immediately he was set free we started our happy little menage together at 8 rue Anatole de la Forge. As the months and years passed we were known only as Monsieur and Madame Muratore.
 Lucien was the happiest father and best husband imaginable. say "hus- band" because we both expected to have our union legalized as soon as Lucien Muratore was firmly established as a grand opera singer with an interna- tional reputation. Social conventions do not count for much in the lives of sing CTS and dancers, you see.
 Then, one day, the beautiful Italian prima donna, Lima Cavalieri, came to our cozy little flat and stayed for dinner. She had great jewels which she had brought from Russia where the wealthy Prince Dolgourouki had been among her admirers, and her stories of travels and successes were most fascinating.
 At that time Lima lived in a magnifi- cent chateau at Vallan Goujard, near Paris, which also was gift from Prince Delgourouki. She invited us to come and live with her a month, and when Lucien insisted that it would be an af- front to refuse, we went there with our baby, the servants, baggage and all. It was only short trip from Paris and we could motor to our work in an hour.

 When she returned to me Ariane was 2 changed girl. She thought of nothing but amusement Her music and paint ing were forgotten. She was completely under the spell of the wealth of Lima Cavalieri and the charm of her father.

 Last June she slept for the last time in my house. Her fathers persuasive charm and the constant display of the Cavalieri jewels weaned ,Ariane from her mothers love and lured her to Italy.
 An, how remembered the impassion- ate appeal in Muratore's eyes when he first won my heart, and how 1 now realized the power he could wield over the heart of my child.
 She went with cavalieri to Rome, and Muratore notified me in a casual way that he had decided to marry Ariane to Captain Alexander Cavalieri Muratore of the Italian Flying Corps.
 In this manner he expected to rein state Ariane to the position she should occupy as his daughter, he said, and give her the name of Muratore, which was rightfully hers,

 I was miserable beyond expression, but my baby and my work in the opera ballet saved me when thought of sui eide. One night danced my solo num- Der in the Faust ballet. Lucien sang Faust and Lima Cavalieri occupied my personal seat in the orchestra stalls.
 All through my dance, with the forty cor3phees around me, the hot tears were streaming down my face, but smiled right through, smiled as if this were the happiest day of my life, smiled even when curtsied before the great Faust, whose eyes watched me indifferently. Such is the lot of the dancer.
 Upon the outbreak of the war it be- came necessary for Muratore to join his regiment at Marseilles, his home city. Thence he was moved to Saint bier, near the front, which was unfortunate for him, in view of the fact that he had just been signed with Lima Cavalieri for . tour in America.
 He did not remain long with the colors, however, for the business of war did not agree with his voice. Something went wrong with his vocal chords and he came back to Paris.
 It developed that Lima Cavalieri had obtained for him the permission to go and sing in New York, Boston, Philadel- phia and other American cities. The papers said he could win more hearts in America by singing the Marseillaise than by fighting in the trenches of the Somme. This was quite true.
 When he reached New York, his voice was better than ever and his successes were reported in all the Paris papers.

spirited controversy OetWeen ncE mother and stepmother, Lima Cavalieri
 By MARcELINE RoUV1ER. Prima Ballerina at the Paris Opera
 PARIS. N TOW that the French courts havs M given me back my child and l 4 have prevented her father, the operatic singer Lucien Muratore, from marrying her to the son of his present wife, the noted Metropolitan star, Lima Cavalieri, am at last able to publish the whole truth about this "Rouvier- Muratore-Cavalieri mystery" which IS agitating the Paris world of the theater as nothing has in many years.
 It may sound like melodramatic movie tale, but will tell it frankly as l told it to the judge, and without blushing.
 am just a plain ballet dancer, you see, and some people may think this is merely another case where a girl from the ballet did not watch her step-and slipped.
 Many may think I should have com peiled Muratore to marry me and give our child name. Others may say I was selfish in wanting my daughter to share my modest existence rather than let her live . life of luxury and gayety in the mansion of the wealthy diva who is now her fathers legitimate wife.
 But will anyone censure me, I wonder, when the whole truth is known? know ballet girl should have no heart She should be all legs, stiff toes and no brains. Her smile should be the kind that never comes off, no matter what is going on inside of her.
 If she loves a man and lives with him a full dozen years without the sanction of the law, she should be glad, I sup pose, if there is baby, to have some one come along and take care of it.
 But could go on dancing and smiling, ask you, with the torturing thought in my heart that the wealthy woman who took my man from me now wanted to take away my little girl, too, and marry her to her own son?
 The life of ballet dancer is a droll mixture of joys and sorrows. had plenty of both, as you will realize when you read my story as I told it to the Pro- cureur of the French Republic
 I left nothing untold. In order to get my girl back I had to prefer charges of abduction. She will be back with me in a few days and could force her to re- main under my roof until she is twenty one; but she is past eighteen now and able to think for herself So 1 will simply ask her: "Ariane, do you want to go to your father or stay with me-"
 Twill look into her beautiful eyes and try to put all my heart into mine so that she can see all the misery and the aching of it. And if she says the terrible words that I dread, will hide my sorrow and simply reveal to her that she cannot, under the law, be Ariane Muratore and stepdaughter of Lima Cavaleri, opera singer, but that she is and must remain. no matter where she lives, the daughter of Marceline Rouvier, prima ballerina. Let me tell you my story from the be.
