WHY THE EXPOSITION
HAS BEEN POSTPONED

Editor Advertiser: Enclosed please
find translation of cablegram re-
ceived at this consulate, appertaining
to the projected international EXPOSE
ton to be held by postponement in
1917. the fftieth anniversary of HI. /.
J. NJ IS accession to the throne.
/ have the honor to be, dear sir,
Your most 0bedient servant,
KAHACHI ABE,
Acting Consul General for Japan.
Translation.
The Japanese government have de-
cided to postpone until 1917 the grand
exposition projected in 1912 under the
following considerations:
A reexamination and a new analy-
sis to which the japanese have found
it necessary to subject the project of
the grand exposition of 1912 have con-
WINGED them that the intervening time
of three and a half years is insufficient
for the completion of all the various
preparations and work which are es-
sential to the successful realization of
the undertaking. It is impossible,
within the allotted time, to prepare for
the exhibit without disturbing many
other activities of the country, nor is
there sufficient time in which to pre-
pare the exposition grounds, to erect
exposition buildings or to make ar
rangements necessary for the suitable
accommodation and convenience for the
visitors under these circumstances. 1t
is deemed best therefore to make an
inevitable postponement at this time
rather than delay action until an adj
iournment would cause Inconvenience
and be Mpreiudicial to right interests.
Again, the japanese government, fol
lowing. the very commendable custom,
desire the projected exposition to be
commemorative of an auspicious event
in their history in 1917 which will be
celebrated the fftieth anniversary of
the Eemperor accession which will
be. for all his subjects, season of re-
ioicing, and it is proposed to take adj
vantage of that happy occasion to in
augurate the exposition.

THE COMING DOWN.

It was an open-air meeting on the
public square In the evening. There
was a large and enthusiastic crowd
present, and the principal speaker of
the evening was ready to make the
effort of his life. He did make 1t. He
showed that the opposition party had
ruined America thirty-six times In the
last 100 years, n that on thirty-six
different occasions his party had
stepped In n gathered I'D the re-
mains and made a new Goddess Of
Liberty of them.
He made scores of statements. He
backed them up with statistics taken
from the family almanac.
He roared. He GRATED. He stood On
MS hlnd legs. He sawed the air and
pltled the poor millionaire. He sawed
IT some more and promised every labor
Ing mar a house and lot.
Then, amidst such an outburst of
enthusiasm as scared hens off the roost
three miles away, and woke up infants
TO cry with collie, he closed and stood
with folded arms. A thousand men
rushed to shake hands and congratulate
MIN. A hump-shouldered man led them
n rammed and damned and elbowed
until he stood beside the proud orator
Ihen he held out a toil-hardened hand
and said:
say, mister, that was a darned good
speech OF yours, but you didn't saw
whether the price Of turnips was eoin'
