to Investigate the charges rellectlng upon
their ability as physicians.
Tho statement that thirty per cent of

JAPAN FEARS MENACE
TO SAFETY AFTER WAR
Discrimination Against Asia's In
terests at European Peace
Conference Foreseen
TOKIO. Jan. 9 (Uy mnll to New York,
l'eb. 21). Voicing tho fenr that the nn
tloin of Ailn will bo forBotten or sllfthted
when the Huropean l'owcrs meet nround tho
peaco conferenco board, tho Osaka Malnlchl,
ono of the most powerful Journals In Japan,
prints n leading nrtlclo on the position of
Asia uftcr tho war
Tho Malnlchl also prearlies n prepared
ness sermon, declaring that there la danger
that (ho heavily armed nations of I'.urope,
nftcr the war, will tako advantage "f the
defenslesinosi of Asia to fnitltlon tho
continent to uult their own purposes.
"Tho reply of tho l'ntenti- Powers to
President Wilson declares that Tut key must
be lemoved to Asia," sa the nevvsi aper
Asahl "Tho Turks, being Asiatics, aro not
welcomed In Iluropc. If the Turks are not
welcomo In IJurope, why should they bo
welcome In Asia 7 Westerners tn.iko tho
fundamental mistake of supiroslng that Asia
Is a continent of barbarism. This error
must bo corrected.
"The position of Asia after the war Is n
Kerlous pioblem for Asl.itlis. Peace may
bring n blessing to Ah. a in n now awaken
ing, caused bj pressure Irom putsldo na
tions, making Asia hasten to keep up with
tho trend of western civilisation. Jut It
may also bring disaster to this part of tho
world, by l dealing the great armies of
Iluropo to prey on a defenseless east,
"In view of-this second possibility Japan
must toko tho le.itltralilp In pulling the,
nations of Asia together. Not that wo
would lead any nntl-foielgn movement, but
wo fihould compel the wot to acknowledge
tho pl.ico of tho Orient In tho world. We
do not wish u revival of 'jellovv peril'
talk.
"An example of J3urnpcnn dltcrlmlnatlon
against Asiatics Is the referenco of tho
Kaiser In his lecent note to neutrals as to
the emplomcnt of colored troops by tho
Allies Ills icferenci'.i must bo icgarded
as a slur on all colored peoples. Moreover,
.the Asiatic laces, even though civilized, aro
not admitted freely In tho countries of tho
West for Instance, tho United States and
the British dominions Tho peaco for vvtilch
the Occidental advocates arc working la u
peace for Kuropo and tho West, but does
not tako Asia Into account.'

"Betty to the Rescue," With Fa.,,
nie Ward, Is Pretty, but '
Longish,
By the Photoplay Editor -;
IIUnT "llettr to the lleMim." I.aal.Par
inount, with Ksnnlo Ward and Jack Dean.
Htory by llealrlco A. He Mllla and Ltlchtoa
t)mun. "Directed by Frank ltelchter. rnoto
araphed by Dent Gilbert.
Fnnnlo Ward Is getting as ubiquitous as
tho capering Chaplin or tho prnnclns Plckp
ford. Here Wo have her In tho role of a
young California minx, who goes throufW.
tho famll'nr dramatic evolution of teasing
her guardian; nearly beggaring him, and
finally falling In lovo with him. What Is
known as "comedy-drama," you see. To
g ve tho slender plot some zest, the authors
have put In a villainous mine Inspector, who
deceives Betty's father Into thinking him
self a pauper beforo he dies, and who tries
to win Betty. Tho picture has a good deal
of sunlit charm, and Is often prettily played
and set. But five reels of such material Is
going It lather strong, especially when ths
extra time can bo rpent In noting painted
backdrops. Miss Ward, preserving her
famous figure and curls, dlsplnys with tho
mot astonishing regularity a pair of per
sonable legs. Jack Dean greatly Improves
on former roles by being grown-up this
time. Charles West Is well cast as ths
rascal. Tho camera work and prlntlnc ars
both meritorious.
BAVOV "The Man Mho Took a Chance,"
lilurMnl with I'ranlyn Pnrnum. Directed
by Wllllnni Worthlnston
Another "comedy-drama," this time with
a double "kick" nt tho end. It Is ono of
thoso yarns with surprise ns the chief ele
mnt tho sort of thing that writers for tho
btago call "melofarce." In tho present In
stance the "punch" of utter astonishment
Is not quite ns sudden or sharp as It might
bo, though the situations have been fairly
well handled. The entire production will
serve for progrnms where stress Is put upon
easy comedy and fast action, rather than on
absolute originality of Idea and treatment.
Tho ncting Is commensurate with tne fea
ture's merits, far better than In Mr. Worth
Ington's last picture, "The Devil's Pay Day,"
May one. however, suggest to him fewer
close-ups, especially when ho Is featuring his
current starred player?
Manager Jay Kmanuel phones In this
data : "The Park Theatre has been re-'
painted, new railings for the safetyand con
venience of patrons have been Installed, a
better class of pictures Introduced and ths
big event Is coming soon, when I will tako
the picture of any man, woman or child In
terested and flash them on tho screen at a
Infer date. Tho Idea Is this: I am going
to have a motion picture taken of as many
people ns I can get In tho locality. All
tho school children will bo photographed
at tecess and nfter school All thoso In
terested may write to tho manager and
mako an appointment for us to call and
tnap them "
