Great Activity in Japanese Ar
my and Navy Circles Alarms
-Teutons Into Predicting Japanese-American
Conflict- .
tPobUsheri' Prate Leaaed Wire.)
Berlin, May 21. Disquieting news
. reaches Berlin from the far eafct Ac
cording to the report which are cur
rent in high circles, the situation In
Japan la very similar to that which
existed just previous to the outbreak
of the RussQ-JananeBe war.
At all the Japanese dockyards the
men are working the full 24 hours on
the ships under construction and the
same thing is tru of the arsenals, and
establishments for the manufacture f
war material.
At both array and navy headquarters
the general staffs are working under
f u41 pressure. Of course this may all
mean nothing: but it la recalled that for
months before she entered upon her
great struggle with Russia she adopted
the eiime tactics. It is believed in dip
lomatic circles that directly Japan con-i
eiders her financial position Is ' suf
ficiently strong to warrant her adopt
ing a belligerant attitude. trouble Is
in store for one of the other powers.
It is believed here also that soma idea
of this sort Is felt at Washington and
that the recently announced Intention
of President Taft to send the American
battleship fleet on another voyage
around tha world' is due to Japanese
activity. ' '
I understand tha kaiser has said in
case there should be trouble between
Japan and the United States, Germany's
motel support would certainly be given
to America, and If needed more than
moral support would be forthcoming.
The kaiser regards Japan as a danger
ous enemy to the western - civilization
and has more than once expressed him
self strongly" along this line.

VEEJUS TO FIRE
According to. Report From Col
on Nicaraguan Is Looking
for Trouble. .
l?nlla rrws ted Wire.l. ,
Colon, May 21. It was rearned here
today that President Madrls sent an
order by wireless to General Arias,
aboard the Nicaraguan gunboat Venus,
to return to Bluefields and bombard the
town regardless of American prders to
the contrary. : .. 1
The action of Madrls is believed nere
to foreshadow a fight between the
Venus and the American gunboat Padu-
cah. The possibility of an encounter is
regarded as certain-!! General Anas car
ries out the order.
Recently the Paducah ordered the
commander of the Venus not to bombard
Bluefields. The order was obeyed and
the Venus left the harbor.-
It is believed that should .sha return
nd begin a bombardment, tha forces of
President Madria outside Bluefields
would commence a land attack. This
also has been forbidden by the American
commander, who landed marines and
Gatiing guns, ostensibly to protect the
American consulate, .but' in reality to
keep peace in the city. "

S m BEAUTY
Huge Sum Dedicated to City
Beautiful Project That Will
Take 10 Years to Carry Out
In Full.
By Paul Vllllers.
Paris, May 21. Not content with be
ing the gayest city in the world and the
most beautiful. In the minds of all true
Parisians Paris is preparing to spend
some $300,000,000 in the improvement
and embellishment of the city.
It is doubtful if any city In the world
has ever seriously undertaken so- ambi
tious a scheme of betterment
The present plan for these improve
ments Is simply to complete the scheme
of Baron Haussmann, .This great "de
mollsheri' conceived a Paris of which the
two axe would Intersect at right an
gles the Rue de Rlvou and Rue St. An
tolne, and the Boulevards de Sehastopol,
du Palais, and Saint Michel, This Paris,
in his plan, would contain a circle of In
ner boulevards, the great boulevards,
popularly .o called, and the Boulevard
St Germain. Radiating highways would
bring inner boulevards into communica
tion with outer and with the center. Fi
nally a triple girdle of highways was
projected, to consist of the boulevards
laid out under Louis XVI., the military
boulevards, and an almost uninterrupted
series of wide streets connecting these
two lines and forming a curved highway,
especially noticeable on the left bank.

and de la Convention.;.; ;. .
One half at least of the money which
is to be raised by the new loan Is to be
devoted to the piercing of arteries of
communication, to the improvement of
tha old streets, and to the demolition of
some scores of the ancient highways in
quarters which ?: have remained un
touched since the period of Henri IV. or
of Louis XIII. - V.
As far back as last December a bond
issue oi isu,uvu,uuu was auinorizsa iur
this work. ,
.When the floods devastated the city
it 'was supposed that a portion of the
municipal loan might be utilised for the
relief of the sufferers, and for the re
pair of the damage caused in the capital
and in the suburbs. Stats and private
contributions will suffice, . however, to
meet thosa needs. Moreover, to divert a
single : farthing : of tha , loan from
its "original purposa an act of parlia
ment ..would 7 ba necessary. - No such
step is J contemplated. ": Tha municipal
council, indeed, not content with the
$180,000,000 is gradually voting some
$110,000,000 more lor further improve
ments.. k,..vi:.:i;.?7v..:i,...,.-7',,,;i.
It will take something like 10 years
to carry out this work. When It is fin
ished, it is confidently believed that no
city in the world will approach the
French 'Capital In symmetry and beauty.
A Beal Romance. -6
Paris is enjoying the culmination of a
typical French romance in the marriage
of Mile. Juliette Thaldy, a pretty young
actress to M. Merland-Ponty, governor,
of French West Africa, ; . '
Engagement, courtship, and marriage
were rapid and dramatic. It all began
last September, when a. company of Par
isian stars, homeward bound from South
America, put into Dakar to fulfill a
promise made by cable from Rio de Ja
neiro that they would give a perform
ance at tha local theatre. ; i
The boat was delayed by ; terrible
weather, and-Instead of S in the evening
did not arrive till past midnight As
the manager of the company had prom
ised they should perjtuan, he determined
to give a theatrical representation at all
hasards. He rallied his . sleepy com-,
pany, and they were rowed ashore by
the na.ive boatmen in the dead of night
and hurried to the theatre.- At 1 o'clock
the performance was ready to begin.
Then for the first time the manager
thought of his audience. There was not
a single spectator. The local party had
long since given up their expected
guests in despair and gone to bed. When
told of this predicament --the energetic
manager merely replied. 'Then wake
them up." The governor, despite his
viceregal ' powers, was ' not exempted.
Resounding knocks at his door brought
out M. -Itterland-Ponty in his pajamas, to
be informed, Ilka another Hamlet "The
players have arrived, my lord."
By 2 in, the morning the audience be
gan to assemble in the theatre, . M. Merland-Ponty,
rubbing his eyes, went for
ward with many apologies to express
his personal regret to the company. His
rank carried him behind the scenes, and
there he came face tq face with Mile.
Thaldy, : quite one of the minor ac
tresses, it was love at first sight, at
any rate on the governor's part ' He
never took his eyes Off her during the
performance, and at the subsequent tup-1
per or breakfast it was given at his
the pretty lady marked attention. ? At 8
the entire company went abroad, and the
governor saw tha object of his sudden
passion sail at sunrise on a storm swept
ocean. ' sr
As soon as he could M. Merland-Ponty
obtained leave, traveled to Paris, mar
ried the lady, who had accepted him by.
letter already, and took his fair bride
back to Dakar. ; '
