ACCESSION OF EMPEROR
EVENT IN LIFE OF JAPAN
For First Time in History Of En-
pire There Will Be Note Of
Democracy.
PEOPLE TO BE REPRESENTED
Heretofore Functions Of Coronation
Have Been Performed Only in
Presence of Court-Georgeous
Ceremonies on November 10.

TOKYO. August 22.-For the first
time in the history of tho Japanese
Empire. extending over $500 years. an
Emperor is to accede to the throne in
the presence OF the representatives of
his people. That is one great reason
why the coronation of Emperor Yoshi-
hito, which takes place on November
10 is regarded as one of the supreme
events in Japanese national life and
why 1t is being looked forward to with
such eagerness and delight by the En-
peror's subjects
Strictly speaking, the ceremony is
not coronation. but an accession. The
rulers OF Nippon wear no crown upon
their heads. but In the presence of the
spirits OF their ancestors they formally,
accede to the dignity and prerogatives
OF emperorship. However, in popular
parlance. the coming great event is
usually referred TO as the coronation.
The accession or coronation ccre-
monies will last through a fortnight,
and will rcvoivc chiefly about the i'm
perial palaces In the ancient capital of
kyoto. The official ceremonies may be
said to be grouped under three heads
those Of the accession proper, the
Daijosai or grand Thanksgiving festi-
walls and the proclamation of the ac-
cession before the various imperial
mausoleums.
In view of the fact that Her Majesty
the Empress is expected to become a
, mother about the time of the corona
| ton, the Emperor doubtless will pro-
coed alone to Kyoto with great pomp
and state. carrying with him in a
