Lord Kitchener Goes to Eastern
Field Of War; Daily Globe Seized

London-"Lord Kitchener, at the
request of his colleagues, has left
England for short visit to the east.
ern theater of war"
This announcement, made after a
cabinet council-an unusual meeting
for Saturday-and a long audience
which Premier Asquith had with the
king, set at rest rumors current as to
the war secretary's present intentions.
Almost simultaneously with the an
nOuncement of Lord Kitchener's pro-
posed visit to the east, the authorities
seized the printing plant of the Lon
don Globe, together with late issues.
This is the first action of the kind
taken by the authorities since the out
break of the war against daily paper
in the United Kingdom. Some week
ly papers, both in England and Ire
land, including the Labor Leader,
were similarly treated some time ago,
but the Labor Leader, after a secret
trial of the case, was allowed to re-
sumo publication.
The Globe, while one of the Oldest
papers published in the country and
long considered staid and conserva-
tive organ, has latterly lost that char
acter and has been chiefly noted for its
violent attacks on public men during
the administration of the liberal gov
ernment. 1t has been one of the gov
ernment's bitterest opponents and has,
since the war, attacked virtually all of
the members of the government.

THOUSANDS OF "wIS" MARCH IN

Chicago-Forty-one thousand three

actual count, paraded the streets Of

law.
1t had been announced that more
than 100, 900 persons had been pledged
to parade. The day was perfect and
returns indicate that the liquor forces
turned out their extreme strength.
They fell nearly 10000 short of the
Mckinley prosperity parade, the larg-
est in the city's history, when more
than so, 900 persons passed the review
ing stand.
There was strict order In the great
parade and also among the more than
three-quarters Of million spectators
lining the line Of march. The city
furnished a small force of mounted po-
lice, although this was done grudging-
ly, as the parade was looked upon by
the officials as anarchistic in It's pur-
pose and as public protest against
enforcement Of the law. But the
mounted police and patrolmen handled
the situation admirably. There was
little drunkenness, at least before and
during the parade. The managers of
the demonstration saw explicitly to
that.
After the parade was over, however.
there were many celebrations at which
the regulations were modified or re-
moved altogether.
The demonstration was overwhelm-
ingly foreign in its makeup. OF the
thousands Of banners, few were in the
English language. Banners proclaim
ing the virtues of personal liberty and
home rule were borne by untersteut-
and geselschafts and maen-
nerchors by the score. The sections
were led by former German-Austran
army men, who executed the goose
step as they passed the reviewing
stand. There were many cheers for |

apan's New Emperor Enters
Ancient Capital in Great State

Kioto, Japan - A churchlike hush
enveloped Kioto, the ancient capital OF
the empire, when Emperor Yoshohito
and gorgeous cortege made their
stately entry into the city at 2 o'clock
Sunday.
A similar scene never was witnessed
in the Western world.
The emperor and the imperial shrine
were silently worshipped by his sub
jects. The cortege was regarded as a
sacred, mystic and religious process
sion.
Although desire to avoid accident
was controlling factor, one Of the
chief reasons for imposing silence up
on the multitude was a wish to main
tain reverence for the monarch as he
arrived in the city at sacred coronation
rites.
The Japanese viewpoint found ex-
preston when the master of ceremon-
les said to the Americans and other
foreigners who were assigned to want
age points in the palace grounds
when the shrine and the emperor
pass, please remove your hats and
bow, but do not cheer"
A gray Autumn day added to the
solemnity of the scene when the pro-
cession entered the palace grounds in a
purely Japanese setting.
Hundreds, bent with years, stood
with soldiers, reservists and thousands
of delepates from the soeietiea of the
empire. The cortege was an exact
representation of the one which passed
through Toxic. The shrine, hidden
behind curtains of purple, gold and
red, borne on the shoulders of yellow
kimonoed villagers, was preceded by
priests afoot and followed by the en-
peror in the royal golden coach.

Washington Declares tspedienCy
Must Not Govern.
CHANGE OF POLICY IS INSISTED UPON
United States "UnhesitatingB IAs.
sumes" Task Of Championing
Cause of Neutral Rights.

Washington, ID. c. - The Unitet
States in its latest note to Great Brit,
ain made public here Monday, cover
ing exhaustively British interference
with American trade since the begin
ming of the European war, declares
that the so-called blockade instituted
by the allies against enemy countries
on March IL is ineffective, illegal
and indefensible.
Notice is served that the American
government ''cannot submit to the
curtailment of its neutral rights and it
cannot with eomplacence suffer further
subordination of its rights and in
terests."
Ambassador Page, to whom the note
was sent by special messenger for de-
livery to the London Foreign office,
was instructed by Secretary Lansing
ito impress most earnestly" upon the
British government that the United
States "must insist that the relations
between it and His Majesty's govern
ment be governed, not by policy of
expediency, but by those established
rules of international conduct to which
Great Britain in the past has held the
United States to account when the lat
ter nation was belligerent engaged
in struggle for national existence. !"
Declaring the United States "un-
hesitatingly assumes" the task of
championing the integrity of neutral
rights, the note proclaims that the
American government will devote its
energies to the task, exercising al
ways an Impartial attitude.
The note, nearly is, words long,
was made public by agreement be-
tween the State department and the
British Foreign office. It carries with
it voluminous appendix, giving the
text of naval instructions issued in
1862 and summary and table showing
hundreds of vessels detained by British |
authorities since the beginning Of the |
present war.
The body of the note is divided into |
35 points, dealing with all phases of |
the contraband question, seizures and
detentions, prior to, as well as after
he so-called blockade was instituted,
md announces that separate commun-
cation will be sent soon dealing par
icularly with the "propriety and
light of the the British government to
include in their list of contraband of
var certain articles which have been
o included"

Prune Advance Sudden.

. The prune market of the Northwest
has had sudden and sharp advance,
but at time when it does this section
but little good. Not only is the 1915
pack out Of first hands, but practically
all out Of second hands, as well.
The course Of the market, which is
due solely to the export demand, has
been a great surprise to the trade.
Prune dealers and packers had anti
cipated slow demand because of the
war, and consequently low prices. In
stead of this, the business has assumed
very large proportions and prices are
advancing at rapid rate. It is esti-
mated that the trade in the United
States, since the season opened, has
been so per cent larger than ever be-
fore in the corresponding period.
