London, June 6.

Three Mary Pickfords the philosopher, the business woman, and Mrs. Buddy Rogers

"Don't you see why I never look back?" she said. "Those Mary Pick- fords of the past are not me. They are strangers. We live through a series of lives. We change."

SAME SMILE

I was thinking that she looked little different from the golden- haired girl who received an his- toric welcome here 20 years ago. Profile, smile, sparkling eyes-all unaltered.

"I may look much the same," she said. "But those old films make me think I am looking at somebody else, somebody I can't quite understand

"Our first holiday since we were married two years ago,” she said, smiling at Buddy. He's away such a lot in the States on engagements.

"Whenever he broadcasts I listen in, and then call him up, on long- distance, tell him what was good- and then just tell him what was wrong."

EXACTING

RETRIBUTION FROM JAPAN

LONDON, TO-DAY. "THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY OF MAKING THE JAPANESE LOSE ‘FACE,' JUST AS THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY OF EXACTING ECONOMIC RETRIBUTION FROM JAPAN FOR THE UN- JUSTIFIED PRESSURE SHE IS ENDEAVOURING TO EXER- CISE,” DECLARES THE DAILY TELEGRAPH THIS MORNING.

But, continues the journal, it is essential that meanwhile the beleaguered inhabitants of the Tientsin Concession shall not be allowed to starve.

Either the local Japanese must be diplomatically persuaded to relax the blockade or food must be sent in a British warship.

American as well as British, citi- zens are involved, and the arrival of Admiral Yarnell (the United States commander-in-chief)

may prove the turning point in the local crisis.

Saying that there is no excuse for yielding the Concessions at present, the paper adds: The "Im perialism" of the Western Powers may have driven some hard bar- gains with the Chinese, but Japan- ese Imperialism does not drive ba gains at all. Its object is to ex-. ploit the resources of China and its manpower not by treaties by the menace of the bayonet. Reuter.
