JAPAN 1S LOYAL T0 HER WAR ALLIANGE' Treaty With England Regarded as Basis of Foreign Policy Tokio, Oct. 17, (Correspondence of the Aasociated Press)—Japan is as loyal to the ‘great alliance caused by this war" as she is to the Anglo- Japanese alliance, declared Viscount Tchida, the Minister of Foreign Af- fairs in the new Japanese cabinet in an interview today. She regards the alliance with Great Britain as the cornerstone of her foreign policy, he added. “We are impressed,” he continued, “by the most recent utterances ot the President of the United States, ad- iressing the people of tha country. The declaration of thco resident that with perfect unity of purpose and ounsel will come the surance of ymplete victory’ seems to me the st principle in the solution of the fiicult problem before There can be no League of Nations unless there is among the members as com- plete unity of confidence and trust in one another as of purpose and coun- sel. The ‘noblesse oblize’ of the West ‘or ‘the ‘Bushido’ of the East must permeate and guide the action 5f any such league. Distrust and sus- picion must e left outside the dor. “Japan has always endemvore make plain by word as well a deed that she is ready to undertake a fair proportion of the work looking to the attainment of the common aim and she loyal to the great alli- ance create; ¢ this war as to the rds as the corner- stone of her foreign policy. “We are all joined now closer than ever by a common duty fo obey a common mandate to prevent the spo- liation of a nation which was betray- ed In an hour of great weakness. Our | great neighbor Russia is not disloyal. ! She has been regarded as disloyal simply becausee an attempt has been made to rob Russia of the name she carried proudly in the past. The hon- est people of Russia must come into possession of their heritage and be helped to secure it by the nations who have joined to help Russia with a unity of purpose and‘counsel and a loyalty, which should not seek any advantage which is not shared by their ally “The situation in China has greatly improved. Wec are looking forward with confidence to the announcement of the solution of the differences which have kept apart the peoples of the various provinces. United Gov- ernment and good order in Chlna are more important to Japan than to any nation except China herself. We are proud of our close and lasting friend- ship with all the natons with which we are associated in this war.” INFLUENZA IN MEXICO.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 191& AGTORS HAVE LONG TRIPS IN FRANCE Those on ‘Hut Circuit’ Experience No Little Dilliculties Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 22.—The “hut cirouit” of theatrical performances in the American army in France is per- haps the longest and largest in the world. Thomas Wood Stevens, head of the Department of Dramatic (Arts at the Carnegie Institute of Technolo- gy, who has Jjust returned from France where he was associated in the production of soldier talent shows, estimates that a single company play- ing every right to different soldiers, would require eleven years to go through the American army in France. *The general scheme of diversion for our men in France,” said Mr. Stevens “is in three general divisions. There is tha ‘Over There' Theater League, represented in New York by Gearge M. Cohan, Winthrop Ames and James Forbes; the French concert companies managed by Walter John- son, and the Soldier Talent Shows, under the direction of Joseph Linden Smith. Mr. Stevens went to France primarily to help Mr. Smith with the Boldier Talent Shows. Together they selected 25 lcal directors for these performances with the various Young Men’s Christian Association divisional headquarters, Now E. C. Catter, chief secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in France has asked for more directors, and the Carnegle Institute has announced that as soon as the influenza quarantine is lifted it will begin to train 25 addi- tional men and women Y. M. C. A. workers for this work. Difficulty of transporting properties and costumes is one of the hardest problems in improvising shows for the soldiers, according to Mr. Stevens. They had to be carried in small valises instead of drays, piled high with trunks and the directors had to make their shows fit on the small stages of the “Y” huts instead of the big theater stages. “One of my jobs has been to dis- cover or write plays for use where no costumes or prop: citizen’s clothes can be had; that is to say sol- dier plays, not war plays,” said Mr. Stevens. “My first effort in this direc- tion, called ‘Three Wishes’ has been given in a dozen camps at present but we want other plavs just as we need many more directors. The twenty- five we have at work are far too few”. One of the main performances given for the American soldiers was that of a festival play presenting the main features of the life of ‘Joan of (Arc,” written by Mr. Stevens. Tt was pre- sented at Domremy, the home of Joan three days after the great American drive on the St. Mihiel salient and dur- ing its performance Liberty motors on the way to the front were purring over the heads of the audience. Miss Marie Young played the part of Joan, but the performance as a whole did not depend upon the professional ac- tors but upon numerous soldier play- ers who had been rehearsed for three weeks. Twenty-five hundred soldiers attended the performance, although none of them are stationed at Domremy. The American front was for many months in the section of French Lor- raine associated with Joan's career, and it is said that more than 50,000 American soldiers have made pilgri- mages to the house where she was born. SEEK MARITIME SUPREMACY. London, Oct. 5, (Correspondence of the Asociated Press)—If, after the war, British shipowners are not ham- pered by government control, I he- lieve we shall be able to maintain the supremacy of the British Mercantile marine in the world,” said Baron Incheape, president of the Institute of Bankers in a speech he delivered the other day before the Chamber Shipping of the United Kingdom. of who drink coffee find substantial relief when 'they change POSTUM This pure,whole- some table drink does not contain “caffeine’or an other harmful, nerve disturb- ing ingredient.
