SUNDA Y AMERICAN’S SPECIAL CABLE LETTERS RECEIVED FROM ALL THE GREAT CAPITALS OF EUROPE
Nipponese Plan Asiatic Empire
With Themselves as Ruling
Power,
By FREDERICK WERNER.
Special Cable to The American.
BERLIN. Aug. 30.—Under the head
ing. ‘ Japan’s Monroe Doctrine,” the
Yokohama correspondent of a Berlin
paper has been making some revela
tions about the Japanese which have
aroused great interest here, and sure
ly will interest Americans even more.
The Japanese, he says, are carefully
laying the foundation of a great Asiat
ic Empire, a federation of states among
which Japan will occupy a position 1
very much similar to that which
Prussia occupies within the German
Empire, only more predominating.
■With this purpose in view, Japan is
in constant and most vivid commu
nication with all other Asiatic na
tions.
Recentlv eighteen young Japanese
from Honolulu came to Dai Nihon
under the guidance of their teacher.
They were given a cordial official re
ception by the Yokohama Chamber of
Commerce; at Toklo they were re
ceived in a private audience and given
valuable presents by the Minister of
Foreign Affairs.
Chino-Jao Entente Planned.
From India the famous Hindoo
priest Darmapala is on his w r ay to
Japan to participate in a memorial
festival i nhonor of the late Mikado
in the Shofokutisi Temple in Tokio.
An official Japanese commission has
Just returned from China, where it
has been studying social and economic
conditions, and simultaneously a num
ber of members of the Japanese Sen
ate have been investigating political
conditions in China and making prep
arations for a Chino-Japanese entente
or alliance.
A large number of Japanese men-
of-war are stationed along the coast
of China and a Japanese General is
studying military conditions in the
southern provinces of China.
Some six or eight weeks ago a base
ball team from the Philippine Islands
was In Japan and a visit by Aguinal-
do is expected. In every way the
Japanese government is encouraging
friendly relations with Asiatic people,
Awhile the hatred against Europeans,
iLnd especially Americans, is growing
-Snore intense every day.
Japs Jealous of Whites.
The Japanese are furiously jealous
of the white nations that have con
quered most of the world and dare
keep their outposts in the Far East.
They feel it as a national calamity
that they have so far been unable to
•build up a world empire and regard
every European or American naval
station in the Pacific as a deadly in
sult. Everywhere it is said: “If we
had only money -we should soon,
sword in hand, drive these white
•usurpers out of Asia.”
The hatred against America sur
passes all belief, because of the Jap
anese situation in California, and
Japansso jingoes are firmly convinced
that Japan will declare war against
the United States as soon as the
Japanese dreadnoughts now in course
of construction shall have been fin
ished. They are furious that they
are unable to declare war before the
opening of the Panama Canal, which
will double the strength of the Amer
ican navy. .
At the same time Japan has adopt-
ed as many anti-foreign laws as it
dares at present, and it ts made as
difficult as possible for foreigners to
acquire real estate in the country.
Ban on Foreign Vessels.
While Japanese vessels have free
access to all ports In Great Britain
and her colonies, all foreigners who
wish to ship goods from one Japa
nese port to another must use only
Japanese vessels. This is the begin
ning of a Japanese Monroe doctrln^.
Practically the whole Japanese
press is hostile to the foreigner and
engaged in an anti-foreign campaign
which is in every possible way en
couraged by the Government, al
though it insists that it exerts no in
fluence upon the press. Every Japa
nese paper of importance is working
for an alliance under the guidance of
Janan against the white race.
At the same time it can not be said
that the Asiatic people who have
come under Japanese government
have any reason to congratulate
themselves. Everywhere in the new
provinces the Japanese masters treat
the native population as coolies.

tel National by the golf club and
other hotels are following suit. All
voted the dance the greatest success.
At the National ten couples com
peted for valuable prizes, which

PARIS Aug. 30.—Talking, laugh
ing and generally ’'cutting up" at fu
nerals have become so annoying in
some parts of France that a league
of silence at funerals has been
formed at Dijon, under the patronage
of the Bishop.
This league has been formed, say
Its bv-laws “in order to encourage as

WOMAN, 75, GETS DIPLOMA

Special Cable to The American.
GENEVA, Aug. 30.—The mountain

arz Mountains, has presented a di-
oma to Frau von Hanstein. a <5-

he is preparing for stage, production.
It probably will be several months be
fore the work can be released (or
production in America.
"Potiphar" is neither an opera, a
musical drama nor a pantomime. Dr.
Strauss denies that it is a ballet, tn
the traditional sense. Ills aim has
been to provide a musical setting for
a number of stage pictures, In which
the sufferings and passions of the
characters are portrayed and ex
pressed through the medium of danc
ing pantomime.
Salome Did Dance
When but Child of 11
Accurate Study of Ancient Coins
Shows She Was Woman of
Bewitching Beauty.
Special Cable to The American.
ROME, Aug. 30.—Theodore Relnach
has made some very interesting dis
coveries as a result of ten years' con
stant study of the coins of Nlkopolis,
the capital of Little Armenia, whose
last King, Aristobulos, was the hus
band Of the famous Salome, whose
dancing cost John the Baptist his
head.
Relnach, through a new interpreta
tion of the coins, has found it possible
to clear up unknown particulars if
the life of Aristobulos and of Salome,
and at the same time the sivant gives
a complete description of the per
sonal appearance of the dancing girl.
She must have been of really bewitch
ing beauty. Her nose was straight,
her forehead high and her bust, com
pared with the circumference of her
hips, was unusually full and large.
An accurate study of the dates of
the coins proves that when Salome
made her famous dance before her fa
ther. Herod, she must have been a
child of only about 11 years, but girls
of that age were often wives d-ring
the time of Herod and Aristobulos.
Americans in Lead
As Religious Artists
Two Painters From This Side Now
Monopolize Field of Biblical
Art In Paris.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, Aug 1 . 30.—As the artists of
other countries desert religious sub
jects, one of the most effective of the
younger painters in Paris is win
ning success after success in that
field.
C. Arnold Slade, of Philadelphia, is
sending over for exhibition there and
in Boston and Chicago his “His
Christ on the Mountain.” His con
ception of Christ is new without of
fending the traditions.
Painters of religious subjects have
become so rare in Paris that the
Americans have the field practically
to themselves. These ^re Slade, of
Philadelphia, and Tanner, of Pitts
burg.

United States soon to compete with
the best that America affords.
They are Miss Gladys Ravenacroft,

10 and will play in various matches
in Canaaa, but they are not eligible

six months residence is necessary.
They then go to Philadelphia, where
the American open championship be
gins October 13.
London Papers Like
American's Cartoons
Scarcely Day Passes That One or
More Are Not Reproduced
by Big Dailies.
By PHILIP EVERETT.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Aug. 30.—There often
have been times when proceedings in
the House of Commons have been al
most unbearably dull and respectable,
but no one can say of the session
which ended the other day that it
has been lacking In sensations or
even in scandals as far as we ever
have scandals in this country.
At the end of the session, before we
had quite forgotten the Marconi mud
dle, a new scandal threatened to crop
up and was only avoided by the firm
attitude of Mr. MacKenna, I refer
to the so-called Piccadilly flat case,
out of which sensation-loving Tory
papers tried to make political capital,
insinuating that the immoral flat In
question was under government pro
tection.
Mr. MacKenna’s open answer, de
claring that no member of either the
government or the House of Commons
was implicated in the affair, put an
end to the attempts of the sensa
tional press to create another pollti-
can scandal.
Lords Now Under Cloud.
Rumors now began to circulate that
high and noble personages were in
volved, to whom the arrested woman
had acted as procuress, and Imme
diately a labor member, Mr. Kelr Har-
die, asked the Minister If he were
willing to declare that no names of
noble lords had been found among the
evidence, a question which the Min
ister skillfully avoided answering,
leaving, probably very much against
his intention, the House of Lords un
der a coud of suspicion.
That the question will come up
again later is beyond any doubt, es
pecially as it is now said that the
woman who was convicted of run
ning an illegal resort, and who was
supposed to be serving her sentence,
is walking about freely. In the mean
time we are assured that a score of
people of our highest aristocracy, and
among these even a duke, are living
in a state of terror and hardly dare
look at their morning papers lest they
discover that their crimes have been
found out.
The suffragettes, who a short time
ago looked upon the members of the
Labor party as their faithful allies and
champions, no longer conceal their
utter contempt of the Parliamentary
representatives of the sons of toil who
recently were compelled to show their
true colors and reveal how little their
sympathy was worth.
Caught in Maternity Benefit.
It happened during the debate of a
paragraph in the insurance law which
grants a maternity benefit of 30 shil
lings to poor mothers to help meet
the expenses of childbirth. It having
been sJiown that in many cases this
money had been handed over to the
father, w'ho had promptly invested it
in alcoholic refreshments, it was sug
gested that in the future maternity
benefit was to be handed over to the
mothers direct.
The suggestion caused a panic
among the members of the Labor par
ty, who, with one exception, all de
clared against it, and declared that
if the motion was carried out it
would ruin the harmony of thousands
of homes. Nevertheless, the motion
went through by the votes of men
who are strong opponents of the wom
an s suffrage movement and the La
bor members and Mrs. Pankhurst’s
followers are no longer on speaking
American Turns Palace
Into a Gambling Resort
-By LA RACONTEUSE.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, Aug. 30.—Though Parisians
are not nearly as addicted to gam
bling as our American or English
visitors, there were many who felt
it as an attack upon their personal
freedom when the authorities put a
ban on public gambling in or near
this city and ordered the Casino at
Enghien to be closed this fall.
A new gambling resort will, how
ever, be opened shortly at Pierrefonds.
just outside the prohibition ai'eo, and
which may be reached in an hour by
train or automobile. It Is, I am told,
an enterprising American who has
secured an option on the famous old
chateau which will make an ideal
gambling palace should the Senate
ratify the bill which forbids gam
bling at Enghien.
Arranges to Find Spring.
Like a true American, the promoter
already has arranged for the discov
ery of a mineral spring inside the
grounds of the chateau which is the
necessary adjunct to all continental
gambling resorts not situated by the
sea, and which must be there that
you may be able to persuade your
conscience that you visit the place
solely because of your health.
If we are able to believe a journal
istic statistician, you will soon have
to Invent another name for this city
Instead of the time-honored "gay
Paree,” for the Parisian, he says, no
longer is gay.
According to his notes we are seen
to best advantage in the Place de
l’Opera, for here 68 per cent of us
look gay, while 25 per cent only look
melancholy and 7 per cent wear no
expression whatever. As Place de
l'Opera, however, Is the favorite
hunting grounds of our visitors from
abroad, I am quite willing to take a
bet that the 68 per cent have been
Americans, the 25 per cent Germans
and the 7 per cent Englishmen.
Sad Look Is Explained.
Worse It is that the statistician
states that 60 per cent of those who
pass Place de la Concorde look mel
ancholy and 75 per cent of those who
saunter along the quays of the Seine
look as if they were contemplating
suicide.
Even in this case, however. I am
able to offer a plausible explanation,
for as the Journalist has chosen the
summer time to study our facial ex
pressions, and as all those of us who
are forced to remain here will tout
Paris is at the seaside or in the
mountains are mad or sad because we
can not get away, it is really not so
very surprising that the statistician
should come to the conclusion above.
If he repeats his experience two
months from now he will get quite a
different result.

Beautiful Russian Adventuress
With Sixteen Husbands Is
Banished to Siberia.
6peclal Cable to The American.
LONDON, Aug. 30.—After causing
innumerable men to fall in love with
her, and actually marrying sixteen of
the more impressionable and richer
ones, says The Standard’s St. Peters
burg correspondent, a wonderful
woman named Tatiana Betchorlak
has just been exiled for life to Si
beria.
The woman, who is now more than
40 years of age, retains her remark
able beauty to a surprising degree.
She was married at the age of 16, and
lived with her husband for about
three years. Becoming a widow, she
was soon wedded again to a rlcn
landowner and succeeded In compell
ing him to spend large sums upon
her. When he was nearly ruined, she
left him, but remembered to take all
his valuables with her.
The next •'husband’’ was a stock
broker, who quickly fell captive to the
fair Tatiana. Having induced him to
transfer all his property to her, the
adventurous beauty sold it and es
caped abroad with a lieutenant, whom,
however, she quickly deserted in or
der to wed a fascinated Oriental Con
sul.
Caught ar.d Exiled.
Seizing all the Consul’s realizable
possessions, she left him post-haste
and returned to Russia, using a stolen
passport. Here she was wooed and
won by an important official. Again
she left her latest “husband,’’after ab
stracting all portable valuables, but
this time she was caught and exiled
to Siberia.
It now seemed as though her career
had received an effective check; but
the chief Jailer in the Far Eastern
wastes soon came under the spell of
the beautiful Tatiana and fled with
her to Constantinople. Here, however,
the woman chanced to encounter her
former "husband,” Oriental Consul,
and, dreading complications, she sud
denly left the chief Jailer and re
turned to Russia.
Finally Fell In Love.
For two years she lived peacefully
there and enjoyed a considerable pri
vate Income, having realized excel
lently upon her various “husbands'”
valuables. Also she made a great
number of other ellglbles temporarily
happy by “marrying” them.
In this varied path of life she con
tinued until her sixteenth victim, a
barrister, was wedded to her. Ths
union proved peaceful and happy;
there was a child. But, at a ball In a
small town, she came face to face
with a former “husband,” who, de
spite her entreaties, informed the
man whom she at length genuinely
loved.
The latter instituted proceedings,
and the police th*»n discovered that
the woman was a former convict.
