Trtbont-Omaha Bm iMMd Wlr. Washington, March 12. The Jap anese menace wii revealed today as the trump card which the adminis tration expects to spring when the Colombian treaty is brought to a showdown in the senate next month. By showing that there is grave danger that the Japanese will take advantage of the present strained relations between the United States and Colombia to gain a foothold in the western hemisphere, adminis tration leaders expect to break down the opposition to the Colombian treaty and bring prompt ratification of the pact. Word has come from Bogota that the Japanese have cast a covetous eye on the rich natural resources of Colombia and are as anxious to , acquire rithts there as they have lecn in California. It is further Stated that the Colombians are not opposed to granting preferential treatment to the Japanese because of their intense feeling against the United Ststes. Ratification of the Colombian treaty, administration leaders con tend, will do much to restore cordial relations between the United States and Colombia and perhaps remove the danger of secret understandings between the Japanese and the Co lombian government At the same Jimt, they point out, a Japanese foot nold in Colombia would jeopardize the 'safety of the Panama canal in case of war with Japan. Opponents of the Colombian treaty take the information regarding the Japanese question with a gram of salt. They insist that the payment of $25,000,000 to Colombia would not improve the relations between the United States and Colombia and declare that there is nothing in the treaty to protect the United States from Japan acquiring concessions in Colombia. Some of them go so far as to assert that the Japanese scare is being used as a smoke screen for the wealthy oil concessionaires in the United States, who are said to be demanding action on the treaty.

Chicago Tribane-Omaha Bee Lrattd Wire. New York, March 12. The second correspondent to be named and the third of whom testimony has been given figured today in the trial of the VV. D. Stokes divorce suit against Mrs. Henten Stokes before Justice Finch. He is George Schroeder, a mining engineer. He was named in the testimony of John S. Mosby, negro, formerly employed by Mrs. Stokes as valet, and by Valentine A. Kubicke, who was chauffeur for S. Montague Roosevelt, an artist, in 1916. The testimony of the vale"t re ferred to an alleged incident in 1911, which he admitted he did not men tion to Mr. Stokes until after the divorce suit had been brought, al though Mrs. Stokes had caused his discharge. The evidence given by Kubicke referred to incidents in 1911. "I saw Schroeder in the summer of 1911, at Long Branch," Mosby testified. "Mrs. Stokes was at home and I was in the pantry. I heard a motor car arrive and went to the pantry door to see who it was I saw Mrs. Stokes meeting Mr. Schroeder conjJijupstais. She met him on the stairs, put her arms around him and kissed him and they walked around together." Martin V. Litth-ton, attorney for Mrs. Stokes said he would prove that Mr. Schroeder was only at Long Branch twice, and then as the guest of Mr. Stokes and not at any time aloiu' with, Mrs. Stokes.

Valentine Kubicke said he once walked into the Roosevelt studio and found Mrs. Stokes sitting on a chair smoking a cigaret and clad in a kimono. The artist had several brushes in his right hand, the'witness said, and on an easel was the picture of a nude woman in the same pose Mrs. Stokes had been in.
