POKER DIPLOMACY RESUMED BY TOKIO AND WASHINGTON But the War Clouds Being Manufac tured by Japanese Expansion Uts Carry No Rain TN JAPAN, acting for an invisible group -1- that aims to be a new power behind the throne nml therefore ter.t fnr indeed from the masses of the people, nre n few strong willed men who hate suddenly brought to the game of international diplomacy the technique of ky-limit poker. Thet know how to appear spu-ne and resolute when thet are most uneast. how to force the play ing to the edge of c alamit while keeping open a wnj back to safety, how mercilessly to crowd an opponent who shows the first flickering sign of weakness or panic. Opposite them now is a solitary plaer. and he is no less u peron that your own I'nele Samuel That is why you hear whi.pered rumors of increasing friction and possible war between the I'nlted States nnd Japnn Your patient and distinguished relntite h.iupcu to have st in on some hard gnmes before thi nnd he Is not an ens person to stampede On this occasion he isn't play ing for his own nionev.

If .tour I'nele weakens the loss will fnll heat lit on people who should not be asked to heur it and who cannot well afford to ! bear it. We got into tlie game lit neeident. Tlie business began when a contingent of Ameri can 'soldiers was incorporated in the allied expedition to Siberia. In other words, your I'nele tried in a ter.t serious emergency to oblige his friends, and it is cheering to re member now that he neter backed out of a big gnine in his life The Japanese ,ire desper.itelv in need of room Thci wish to expnnd the empire and to protide new opportunities for the people. the business men and the hankers Their country is oterpopulated. Naturally they have looked for years toward China and Siberia. Lenders of the aggrcssjtc faction in the goternment nnd it is not by any means the most powerful faction hold that Japan, i because of its superior eoinmeieial instinct. t should be guide nnd mentor to modern China Shantung was seized during the war. Troops ' of other allied countries went into Si be fin I merelt to maintain order.

In Miuntung are the ino-t impor tant nerve .'inters of tlie Chinese milwnt st stem as well as vast qunntitlis of iron nnd other metal There, too are the seats of Chinese culture and the roots nf nil the traditions which the Chinese hold sacred. If n neighboring people iould take a re nion incl uiing Mount Vernon and Inde pendence Hall and pnrt of th Massarhuse.tts i oast, as well as the greater deposits of iron ,,re in this country, we might feel about as t'l intelligent Chinese feel nboilt the orcll . .nction f Shuntung.

Another thing is to he remembered too. The iiiussi s of the Japanese people and the mujorltt cif Japanese business men do not wnut either wnr or unfrleiidlt relations with the I'nlted Stntes nnd the nun who hnve instituted the elabnrnte nnti-Ainericnn propaganda in Japan know better than anv one else that they cannot push the gume to a fiuish. They hate not the money nnd they hute not the credit necessary, for n wnr It is seriously tn be doubted whether in uuy case they could so inllaiiie public opinion in their country as to mttke even a threat ot war possioie. J Plalnlj?, however, fcvcrytblng that can be PUBLIC LEDGER-- done will be done to magnify the Importance of restrictions: which the state ot California wishes to put on Jnpnnrpc residents. Rut until recently the Toklo (lovcrnmeut re fused to be seriously concerned about the fortunes of Japanese in America. Differ ence: arose between our own government and the goternment nt Toklo, but they were easily settled. The number of Jnpaueso In Cnllfomin Is relntltely negligible. Rut the Japance nre plicnotneiially Industrious and acquisitive, and Cnllforulnns resent the nppnrent ense with which they nre boring into business nnd getting control of produc ts e land. The immcdlntf cnuse of the present discussion is n proposed referendum In tlie state under which Japanese in tiic future tuny he denied the right to own or cten lease lands, Washington hns not the right to tell the Cnliforninns what lawn they shall or shall not enact. The Justice or injustice of the nuti-Jiipuncsp legislation Is not for the federal got eminent to decide. It Is largely because of the phenomennl ahiiitt of tlie Japanese to learn, nnd lenrn quicklt. thnt there can be no serious break between Japan and the I'nlted States. There are liifitieutinl men nt Toklo who studied too intently nt the feet of the (tcnnnns. Hut among tlie plain people are countless leaders who hate studied quite ai Intently In the schools of western democracies. Liberal opinion is advnncing throughout all Japan with amazing strides. There nre no more resolute antagonists of war lu the .Tnpan of today than the business men und the stu dents. On the other hand Is an exclusite group of militarists with an eye to an effi cient navy nnd nn army which cume uu scathed and strong through the war. Rut tin-re has been nothing cten In the current debate between the two goternments to indi cate that anv one nt Toklo eter seriously thought of putting the military organization of the country to a test which cten the statesmen say would be suicidal. The notes relating to tlie California re striction Intts may grow ominously polite and strained, but they should nltvnys be read with tlie knowledge thnt it is Japan in Cliinn and Jnpnn in Siberln that is under discus sion nnd not Jnpnn in California. The aim of thoe who hate brought linker technique again into international diplomacy is to force this country, by a show of aggressive ness and determination, from a position which we have assumed partly for our own honor and partly for our own safety. And no matter what the Hornhs and tlie Jolni sniis mny say, the poker method will be tried nnd tried again until the world nrrites at some better system of internntiounl guar anties than any now in existence. "BUNDLE DAY" AMERICANS, with a perversity which perhnps represents n conflict of tradi tions with temperament, talk hentedh nf iiumuiiitv from European problems, and then, with a generosity of which histort Is bound to take Impressive account, open their hearts and purses for the relief of suffering abroad It is the latter character nset to which the organizers of "Hundle Day" nre now nppealing.

One of the com fortable tvajs we've borrowed of late from John Hull has been these impromptu thrco course repasts with conversation general conversation at thnt. Men did not use to think they had time lo meet women In the middle nf the day, or more likely women did not want men nt their elnbornte, upholstered ten -course nihi lity feeds. Did you ever hear one of those lunch parties in the full tide of tnlkV 'Che sound is as precise and ts nlntining us n bnttcry of machine guns.

Rut nownduys when women have con descended to cut their luncheous down tJ a normal meul, men arc grateful to cut their midday ofb'ee chores, and there is no hour better for casual talk. MRS. SEYMOUR'S talk Is nothing If not casual. Touch her on one or two points notably her brothers or her father nnd she runs on plensnntly nnd Informing!)' with the evident sense that, being public charac ters, any light she can throw on them will be intercstinc and biographically valu able. Y'ou nre nt once swept into npartlstn view without being quite aware Just what the old quarrel was nil about. I had murmured soniethlng.mlld nnd ap preciative nbntil what our nttlve land owed to these pioneers of music in our bcnlghte.1 j ears before und lifter the Centennial the '70s nnd the '80s when people still chatted at concerts, and Wagner wns "heavy music" aud the Musict.l Fund Hall was a ineica for the subscribers to the the Orpheus con certs ! The coupling of the ut.ine of Theodore Thomas with that of Leopold Damrosch wns what touched Danirosch's daughter off Into reminiscences of some old quarrel between the two great men that I was quite Ignorant of or had forgotten. TT APPEARED the two met some yeats later on board a ship sailing for Europe. Damrosch was sailing to gather In songbirds for the new opera venture just stnited in New Y'ork ; Thomas was sailing to nugmeut his orchestra lately started in Chicago, no doubt, nnd to Danirosch's think ing it wns the time nnd plnce to have n tec ouciliatlon. So he forthwith went up to Thomas tnd offered his hand uud Thorn h refused it. Leopold Damrosch died not long Hfter. the triumph of his opera enterprise well assured, nnd he himself, nfter his long, plucky strug gle to give New Y'ork the best and on't the best, wns triumphantly backed by money ns well ns by a tardy apprecintion. Hut he died too soon to lift his uffuirs out of the precarious state of this .tec's income paying last year's debts. So the "boys." ns Mrs Seymour called Frank and Walter Damrosch. had to come to the rescue of their mother and the jouni; er members of tlie family. WAr; VV sio ALTER DAMROSCH was n profec nal musician even then, but the elder brother. Frank, was n business nun out In Denver. lie hnd. howeter. beguile 1 the city fathers of Dent or into letting him try out his theories about "sight reading" and chorus work on the school chlldien. and his byproduct had proved so successful thr.t he presently exchanged his business for it. and came to New York to start his school und his people's classes. Frank Dnmrosch's theory or rntlier il wns Nolt of Hoston's theory nnd Dnm rosch's practice of teaching sight reading bt the use of the movable "do" is n souuv of discussion thnt neter dries up when one or two are gatheied together in tlie name of music. To the uninitiated who pronounce "do" like do and not like dough, it is neither hce nor there, but if any one wnntsto mnke him self cozy with n group of piofessionals, lot him ask them for their candid opinion on the theory of tlie movable "do" pronounced dough. And then he may sit back aud take it ci.sy. It is like asking tlie owner of a new car how low lie cun throttle down on high. I TRIED the movable "do" on Mrs. Soy -inner and she thought I was a fellow "profesh." We tnlked about Walter D.'s trip with the orchestra to Europe last spring nnd we ngrecd that his wny of pitying the Star Spangled Ilanner hnd more thrill to it than any other, even than Rtokowski's She told me a thing about Italy and Walter Danirosch's concerts in some of t'ie Italian cities tin. t interested me more thau it did her. It was this: Every time the boxes and the stalls applauded him. the galleries were cold and sometimes hissed, and when the expensive seats were silent tlie chenp sents gate him the "htirn.li boys " The President ought to know that, or Secretary Colin or Van Santvoord Smith, o w hoover tlie chr.p is that holds down th stool in the Department of State, becnuse u puts cpiite another meaning on the reports thnt he was liissisl because lie was an Amor lean As a matter nf fact the orchestm got huge applause et cry where. The hissing wus n privi.te uffjr between the Socinlists and the reactionists. WAI.TP.R DAMROSCIPS vrr.t magnetic personality and the tine enthusiasm roused bt the orchestm excited ills audiences into being themselves.
