The Lonely Old Soldier.

Kansas City Star: A lonely old sol
der living in Nebraska wrote the
Chaperon not long g about his iso-
lation. His comrades of other years
had died, the postman always passed
him by and he felt that the world had
forgotten him.
His letter was published. Yesterday
he wrote Of the outcome. He had re
ceived about $500 postal cards, and
the replies were still coming in at the
rate Of ten to thirty a day. They were
from every state in the union, from
Cuba, Hawaii, Japan, and Canada. 81
am, oh, so happy the veteran writes
of the unexpected revelation of sympa-
thy.
Well, a postal card to an old man
isn't much, of course. 1t can be sent
with little effort. But the fact that
$500 persons made that effort does in
dictate the existence of a mine of hui
man feeling and ~comradeship which
ought to be available for all sorts OF
social purposes.
People always are touched by hear
ing of some individual case Of suffer
ing. The next step is to enlist this
sympathy in measure to make condi
tions of living everywhere more whole
some-in housing codes and workmen's
compensation acts and the like.

HISTORIANS AT
GRAND FORKS

Grand Forks, N. D.. May 81
In the absence Of Pres. J. A. James
of the Mississippi Valley Historical
association, last evening, Prof. M. D.
Learned of the University of Pennsyl-
Vanla, addressed the evening session at
the auditorium, Woodwork hall, state
university. A..
Pres. F. L. Mcvey presided at the
meeting. "
Professor Learned took as his topic,
Foreign immigration and the Gov
eminent Report on the Same, and
dWelt at considerable length on the
part immigration has played in the
early history of the United States and
the conquest Of the continent.
Influence on a Nation.
He took the position that the work
of the national immigration commits
sion is incomplete and in consequence
unsatisfactory, and spoke in highest
upon America and the United States
IN particular, more especially prior
ad up to the war Of 1920.
Conquest of Continent.
Our freedom in welcoming the i'm
migrant to u shores is one Of the
factors which has brought about the
conquest Of the continent, in the
pinion Of Professor Learned, and he
cited the active part Of prominent
men, coming first to this country as
immigrants, taken in the development
of their adopted country.
Important Work.
The speaker gave a very interesting
summary Of his work in tracing the
German sources of American history,
made possible by the Carnegie Foun-
dalton at Washington, which paid the
expenses Of his travel and research.
Professor Learned expects. to leave
June l for an extended trip abroad, to
continue this work under the same
auspices and will be absent for fifteen
months. His address was given close
attention by a large and appreciatiVe
audience and the subject was n Of
vital interest to students Of history and
Of the sources Of American citizenship
and achievement.
Following the address by Professor
Learned, a reception to the visiting
delegates and members Of the univer-
sity faculty was held at the residence
of Pres. F. L. McVey. Of the state uni
Versity. This was q pleasant affair and
afforded the visitors an opportunity to
meet in a social hour and discuss sub
jects OF interest to the association and
OF individual interest as we'll. Many
acqualnIances were renewed and new
ones formed and it was with keen ap-
probation Of the hospitality Of the
university head that the delegates and
others babe their adieus.
The election of officers will be held
this afternoon and designation of the
next place of meeting. There will be
a keen rivalry for the honor, and it Is
anticipated that several states will Of

when North Dakota was so fortunate
as to bring the association here.

TAKES. YEARS TO
ENTHRONE JAP

Toxic, May 27.-Although it is
nearly two years since the death of
the Emperor Mutsuhito, it will be an
other two years before his successor,
the Emperor Yoshihito, is fully en-
throned, according to all the Japanese
rites. The postponement of the coron-
alton festivities, which had been ar
ranged for the coming fall, is bemoan-
ed by the whole Japanese people, but
the death Of the Dowager Empress
necessitates a long period Of national
mourning and it is a sacriligious thing
to use at the coronation ceremony the
seed of rice that has been ripened
during a a of sorrow.
A part Of the coronation ritual had
been observed prior to the death Of
the Empress Dowager, however. The
imperial ancestors had been duly
notified that the ceremonies were
planned for the coming fall, and up
on the death Of the Dowager Empress,
the ancestors were again visited at
their various shrines and notified
that the ceremonies would be deferred
until 1915.
In Toxic, the emperor himself made
h announcement before the imper-
ial sanctuary in the palace. This is
the most sacred of the shrines, where
the spirit of the grand ancestor,
Amaterasu-Omikami goddess Of the
SUM-" is enshrined. Here, also, are the
three sacred symbols Of the throne,
the metal mirror, the sword, and the
comma-shaped jewel, around each of
which is woven the tradition that they
were all handed down by the god
dess Of the sum-" the Imperial grand
ancestor, to her grandson, Ninigi-no-
miketo, on the occasion Of the latter's
descent to the island empire from the
heavenly regin. When the sun goddess
conferred these treasures upon her
grandson she solemnly told him to
respect them and enshrine them in the
palace.
She told him that the sacred mir
ror (Which was the most important
Of the three, representing the spirit
Of the sun goddess) should be held in
highest respect and the imperial de-
scendant should regard it as he would
the spirit of his grandmother. The
treasures were handed down to En-
peror Jimmu, the first of the imperial

treasures, also has a romantic his

being driven out from the heavenly
region by the sun goddess. While
travelling through the province Of
Izumo he happened to kill a very big
boaconstrictor which had been ter
rifying the people and found a rare
sword in it's tail. Returning to the
heavenly region he presented it to the
sun goddess, who later bestowed it on
her grandson together with the mir
ror and jewel.
The comma-shaped jewel, last Of
h sacred treasures, is also + believed
to have been made at the time of the
sun goddess by one of her followers
but no exact description Of the jewel
is available. That is a sacred secret Of
the sanctuary.
The ceremonies at this imperial
sanstuary were impressive. ALI Of
the participating officials were in full
dress, chamberlains, court ritualists,
and court ladies being attired In an
Gent, ceremonial costumes. The EN-
peror, attended by Court Toda, grand
master Of ceremonies, and Count
Watanabe, household minister, made
his entry, followed by chamberlains
who carried the sacred symbols. At
forwards the Empress entered with
equal pomp, escorted by numerous
court ladies and princesses, and Baron
Hara, vice chief Of the coronation
commission. t..t ..'-a ST.
When all were seated, the Emper-
or proceeded to a place before the
sanctuary and, after making a rever-
ent bow, read an address informing
the ancestral souls of the date of the
Coronation ceremonies. The Empress
also went before the shrine, followed
in order by all Of the members of the
imperial family, making the same
o~be1sance. o.
Similar ceremonies were conducted
before the shrines of Koreiden and
Shinden, with the Emperor partici-
pating, and Imperial messengers were,
at the same time despatched to other
shrins. Later. all of the originaT
ceremonies were repeated to announce
to the imperial ancestors the post
| ponement Of the coronation for
another two years.
