TO URGE UPON CONGRESS
BETTER COAST DEFENSES

larger army and navy, brought
about by scientific increases: a better
aviation corps and powerful coast de-
fense guns constitute the defense pro-
gram which Representative William J.
Cary of Milwaukee. republican mem
Der Of the House District committee,
will urge on Congress at the coming
session. Mr.. Cary believes that many
of the guns on the Pacific coast are
antiquated. and that the Aviation Corps
'1s a joke"
We ought to have such adequate
coast defenses that we could repel any
attack" he said in a statement issued
today. THE coast defenses, particular
ly those on the Pacific coast, are weak,
and the Aviation Corps Is a Joke.
II believe 1t would be better IL all the
guns on the Pacific side OF the nation
were dumped In the ocean and the
cities designated as unfortif1ed. 1t
would be in violation of the rules of
warfare to attack them under those
circumstances. AS they now stand they
could not resist any attack.
There Is not gun on the coast that
coast defenses should be either put in
first-class shape or dismantled. There
are only three submarine boats on the
Pacific coast.
The aviation school Of the navy Is a
joke. too. 1t has one hydro-aeroplane
and one biplane. Also there are toe
many aeroplanes In the boneyard and
junk heap
The ammunition supply for coast de-
fenses Is far too small; probably not
enough for half a days firing"

After returning to the temporary

quite the same as during the imperial

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
TOXIC, October 23.-The recent at

Kai of China. has revealed the exist
ence of an assassins' club among the
revolutionary Chinese students of
Toxic. 1t Is alleged the members are
solemnly sworn to take the life of
prominent workers for the monarchical
movement in China.
The story goes that the victim of the
recent shooting was a marked man as
soon as he put his foot upon Japanese
soil. He had hardly begun his work
ganda for the restoration of the mon
archy when. as he was leaving his
door one night. he was shot down by
Chinese student from the roadway.
The assailant escaped.
Expected to Recover.
1t now is believed Chang Shih-I will
recover. He Is expected to hurry back
to China as soon as possible to report
the fact that the Chinese revolutionary
body in Japan, which is mostly COM
posed Of students, is actively hostile to
the restoration project.
All members of the Chinese colony
in Japan are under strict police sur
veillanee. DIR. Sun Yat Sen, the original
republican revolutionist. still is living
quietly in Toxic. awaiting develop

Japan and China over the Japanese de-

For Spontaneity in Gifts.

There can be no possible objection
to simple Christmas celebration for
children, and the giving of presents to
ones family and friends on this very
day may be beautiful, provided that
there is spontaneity and reality In the
gifts. and the giving of pleasure to our
own circle does not entail hardship on
others. But SO far is the Christmas
season from this standard that 1t has
actually become a nightmare for thou
sands of men. women and children in
our land.
There are a few of US who are going
to distribute our giving over the whole

JAPAN'S EMPEROR
At ANCIENT SKR|NES
Pays Homage to His Ances-
tors at Uii and
Yamada.
COURT GOES WITH HIM
ON TRIP FROM KlOTO
Entourage Halted at Outer Gate and
Ruler Goes Into Sacred
Precincts Alone.

UJIYAMADA Use), Japan. Novsmber
28.-Emperor Yoshihito arrived hefe to-
day from Kioto to pay homage before
the grand ancestral shrines at Vii and
Yamada. Accompanied by the court he
left Kioto on, a special train and ar
riving at Yamada entered the impro-
vised imperial lodge.
The grand ancestral shrines at Ise
consist. OF the inner shrine and the
''outer" shrine at the town of Yamada.
The former. or inner shrine, is dedi-
Gated to the great imperial ancestress,
Amaterasu Omikami, and the latter to
Toyouke-no-okami.a a deity of rice and
cereal. In olden days access to those
ancestral shrines was strictly forbid
den to all persons, however high in
rank they might be, except the en-
peror himself. Even the heir apparent
to the throne could not pass the portals
of the sacred buildings.
Barred at Main Gate.
The ordinary worshiper may pro-
coed to the main gate. but no further.
On the way thither are two tori. The
members Of the imperial family and
imperial messengers who come to wor-
ship at the shrines must alight from
their carriage or horse at the second
tori and thence proceed afoot the rest
Of the way to the shrines.
Inside the board walls are double
fences of wooden pillars. which form
inner Enclosures. Each of these inclo-
sures has four torii-shaped gates on
either side. The gates arc thatched
with straw and have wooden doors
Another high inclosure separates the
main building from the outer premises
The sacred interior contains the holy
shrine with the sanctuary, or holy OF
holies OF the imperial ancestor, and q
treasure hall.
Proceeds to Ancient Shrine.
At the appointed hour the emperor
left his temporary headquarters and
proceeded to the inner shrine at Vii,
accompanied by his retinue. The pro-
cession was unique and picturesque.
Arriving at the gate Of the outer wall,
pa ssing through the first and second
tori, the emperor alighted from his
carriage and walked the rest Of the
way.
In front of the emperor the chamber
lain slowly advanced. holding the
sacred sword and gem, and behind
came another chamberlain, who held
over the emperor great umbrella
made of reed. A Gordon attached to
the top of the umbrella was held by
another chamberlain. Still another
chamberlain carried a box containing
an imperial baton
Arriving at the second outer fence
the emperor was offered hemp and salt
by the Shinto priests. wherewith his
majesty purified himself according to
the Shinto ritual.
At the gate Of the third outer fence
the emperor washed his hands with
water to purify himself again before
entering the shrines. In the meantime
the chief officiating priest and Junior
priests had opened the door Of the
main shrine and had placed the offer
ings consisting Of silk fabrics. thread

Argues for Better Treatment.

The government will have great
trouble in finding the men worth while
to enlist for service in the army and
the navy in order to increase it, unless
better treatment is accorded to the
men and better opportunities given
them for obtaining promotion and COM
missions as officers. Congress will also
have to enact graded retirement laws
for the men in the service that are fair
and reasonable. Laws also should be
enacted by Congress by which honor
ably discharged soldiers and sailors
are given preference in employment in
the government service after their
honora BILE discharge from the army and
navy. The American industries and
American business mem also should
help in this regard, by giving prefer
ence for employment to men who have
served honorably in the army and
navy"
