Its purport is prayer for the longe- vity of the Emperor, the Empress and Grown Prince, and especially TOT the pacification of their ''volatlle' spirit. This is one of the most mysterious Ci all the coronation ceremonies. Historians have had extreme diff culty in tracing it's origin, but the underlying idea is that the spirit or soul of the Emperor is to be calmed and made to enter a state of perfect peace and tranquility, far removed from all earthly things, that he may more flttingly commune with his an cestral gods, offer them food, and himself partake thereof, both in his own name and in the name of his subjects. The ceremony was held at the Yuki-den and Suki-den halls, newly erected in the compound, of the palace. It was purely a religious function and was officiated by the court ritualists and attended by chief officials of the coronation committees. not participate. .
 Halls Purified.
 The halls had been previously puri- fled. After the spirits of several gods had been called to the sanctuary the musicians played sacred Shinto music On harp and flute with an occasion al accompaniment of sacred bells Next a sword, a bow,an arrow, a bell,
 cocoon, a roll of raw silk cloth and a roll of hemp cloth and then some food offerings were presented before the altar, the musicians atl the while playing Shinto music,
 The chief ritualist then, ascending the stand in front of the altar, read a Shinto prayer for the perpetuity of the imperial reign, the longevity of the emperor, the empress and the crown prince and the prosperity of the imperial house. Presently were brought into the hall a strip of the cloth used in the emperor's robe and a tablet, representing His Majesty These were placed in a sacred case. The ritualists clapped their hands eight times and the curtains around the stand were dropped Then the ritualists performed the ceremony of making knots with threads, each making ten knots. One of them struck the sacred case ten times with sword, and, taking out the tablet, put 1t back in the box in which it had oeeH brought III. The curtains around the stand were then removed and ritualist, taking out the imper- ial cloth from the box, shook it be- fore the sacred presence of the gods ten times, and then returned it to it's box. The imperial cloth and tablet were then removed. The cloth and tablets of the empress and crown prince were given the same religious treatment.
 Subsequently and finally a brief ceremony for the happy departure of the spirits of the gods

war ends there will be some big work to do in financial leaders will be taxed quite as severely when the war began. But fortunately there will be ample warning of any peace movement and. many vague rumors must be ex- pected before genuine steps are talk en. Moreover, a prolonged period of negotiation will be inevitable before disarmament becomes a fact. Many months may easily pass before the millions of men now engaged in mu- tual destruction can possibly return to productive labor.
 Cause of Setback.
 In about three weeks congress will open and new set of issues will be pressed upon public attention. The attacks upon capital which have con tinued for over twenty years, have about spent their force. Many of the old abuses have been practically elin- mated, and this form. of political en- terprise is rapidly going out of fash ion, particularly since it's injurious eff fects became so apparent to all con cerned. The war will undoubtedly make strong impression upon our political life. Efforts will probably be made for readjustment of the tariff, especially where public revenue has been affected by curtailment of inn portations. Shipping will come in for a large share of attention, our depen- dence upon foreign ships for passen- gers and freight being particularly hu- initiating to our national pride and detrimental to our commercial inter- ests. The problem of preparedness will also figure very prominently in public affairs This is an entirely new issue and one demanding prompt and satisfactory solution. The early opening of congress and recent devel- opments in the war fully account for this weeks setback.

BIG THANKSGIVING
 FESTIVAL IN JAPAN
Sacred Rice Offered to Imperial Ancestors Of Gods and Bookcases

Kioto, Nov. 13.-The Eaijosai t'es- tival, or Grand Thanksgiving Festival, the ceremony of offering sacred rice to the imperial ancestors and the gods and goddesses began today at the imperial palace. This ceremony is one of the three great rites of the coronation and is of very ancient origin.
 When Ninigino- -mikoto, the grand son of the Sun Goddess, Amaterasu Omikami, founder of the Japanese imperial dynasty, descended from the heavenly domain, as it is traditionally told, to Mount Takachiho, in Kyushu, and established imperial headquarters there, he sowed the seeds of rice plants and presented the first crop to the Sun Goddess before himself tast- ing the food. This was the very be- ginning of the Daijosai festival.
 Land of Sacred Rice.
 Rice constitutes the most important daily food of the Japanese people and the land was, in the mythological -period, called the Land of Sacred Rice. Since that time the cerem ony is observed as an essential function by every ruler who succeeds to the throne. The rite was ordained by an imperial edict issued by Emperor Mutsuhito in 1871, three years after his late majesty's succession.
 The central idea is that the new emperor, invested with the suzerainty of the Land of the Sacred Rice, offers to the imperial ancestors and the gods and goddesses of heaven and earth the first crop of the first har- vest in his reign. It is, therefore, ob- served as state ceremony and not as court ceremony.
 Harvest Festival.
 Related to it is ceremony of minor importance, which is annually held in the imperial court on Noyem- Der 2S and simultaneously at the grand shrines at Ise. It is called the harvest festival. As the rice on which sixty millions of the subjects of the imperial house sustain their lives had been granted by the imperial ances- tor, as related above, every sovereign Of the land expresses his thanks for the benevolence of the imperial aa- cestor in behalf of his millions of sub jects.
 To pray for the plentitude of har- vest the emperor holds a ceremony on February IT every year before the imperial sanctuary and the grand an. cestral shrines, beseeching an abuna- ance during the coming harvest. The ceremony and the harvest festival ara widely observed in every Shinto shrine through the length. and breadth of the empire on the same day' which is preserved as national holiday.
 Aouas ceremony was preparatory 10 the grand harvest festival, which takes place tomorrow.

tative of the British press during the whole period of the Gallipoli campaign.
 Captain Bartlett made a statement to thi effect during the course or a lecture on the Dardanelles Thursday night and as the officer Is himself an expert in matters pertaining to mili- tary operations his words have had a most depressing effect on the public who have continued to believe that the allies would ultimately fight their way to Constantinople. Captain Bart lett said that although the allies were firmly establishd on the Gallipoli pen insula he did not think that there wa. any chance for the armies to make further advances in the direction of the capital beacuse of the Truks being too numerous and skillful. The only req son that the allies had been able to gain a foothold on along the Dardan- elles was was because of the general lack of experience on the part of the Turkish commanders Bartlett also denied the stories that the Turks have been short of ammunition stating that such shortages as were apparent were confined to shells for the heavier ar tillery and the defending forces had been we'll supplied with machine gun and small arms ammunition at all times Said the captain, despite their terrific losses there are more than eight hundred thousand troops under arms in that section and the longer they fight, the more formidable and experienced they become in meth ods of defense With the Bulgarians now participating in the struggle we can no longer hope to get through to Constantinople."
