The partisans of peace are daily becoming more numerous, even in the official world, their hopes being based on the certainty that the Japanese conditions will be more onerous a few months hence.
"One Summer's Day" is almost idyllic in its conception. There are a couple of gipsies, a good uncle, who seeks to cover the errors of his brother, and a love story in which one friend offers to sacrifice himself for his friend. The scene opens on an island on the Thames where a couple of gipsies are discussing the noble art of blackmail. It seems that a military man married one of the gipsy tribe and made her quite respect ible for a time. But the freedom of the open air appealed to her veins, and she The New Loan for Japan.
