HERE'S MESSAGE
!. OF BRUGES FOLK

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY ON
THE WESTERN BATTLE FRONT
Oct 27.-victorious Belgian cavalry
Z passing through the historic city of
Bruges was the first the residents had
seen OF their own troops since the
Germans had left. l
As the sBelgians entered bugles were
blowing and the famous chimes were
ringing. The people were beside them
selves with JOY over their liberation.
A committee of aldermen received
the correspondent in the great hall
of the city building and presented the
following message to the people of
the United States:
The Message to YOu.
"Bruges is happy to have this op-
portunity Of receiving an American
Newspaper correspondent in order that
the population may tell him how glad
the town is for the assistance Ameri-
Gems has given in the way OF provis-
ionIng and for the sympathy those
great American people extend not only
toward the residents OF Bruges, but
all Belgians as well. The BUrgomas-
ter and the aldermen express their
warm thanks to the noble people OF
the United States"
The committee brought in from an
ante room two young girls who had
been -pprisoned for six months, be-
eau ,ey had written letters to
thu; others outside OF the pre-
serb three-mIle zone. All they had
/, to g, while in jail was moldy
bread. The girls were told that their
1brother had been condemned to death
because he had written TO his sis
ters, but later they learned that he
had only been imprisoned for six
months.
The AIdermanic committee pre-
served copies Of all the German
orders, the most striking of which
pertains TO the death Of Captain
Fryatt, a British seaman.
The German Threat.
One order is dated October /, 1918,
and cautioned the people OF Bruges
to remain quiet. It said that the
smallest riot or disorder would be
answered by heavy artillery fire
against the quarter where it or
IGN l.
Alderman Won Hoestenberghs. Of
fetal representative Of Bruges at the
execution Of Captain Fryatt declared
that the British seaman died with
out saying a word.
fFryatt was condemned to death
and executed by the Germans because
n was said that his merchant ship
bad rammed a German submarine.)

Exchange Gifts.

During the festival all Tokyo peo-
pie exchange gifts in the same man
ner as western peoples observe
Christmas. 1t is the time for re-
membering ones friends, and In
these prosperous days in Tokyo this
custom has been observed with much
lavishness.
Servants within a household and
apprentice boys in the shops receive
new kimonos and enjoy holidays; the
children rejoice in bright new gar
mentG aud fascina1Eng toys. and
have all the sweets and cakes they
may desire. Friends and relations
call upon one another, and, in con-
sequence, the workaday world Of
Tokyo almost. comes to a standstill.
Great throngs visit the cemeteries.
placing flowers before the tombs,
and Buddhist priests in brilliant
robes may be seen in all parts Of
the city passing along the streets to
perform services in some home, or
to take part in a temple ceremony.
On the third night after the spirits
visitation a bonfire is again made
at the entrance of the house to ligSt
the loved one on its return journey,
and the big. bustling city Of Tokyo
settles down again to its ordinary
routine.

JAPAN OBSERVES
FESTIVAL OF DEAD

TOKYO, Oct. GA vision comes
before the mind OF that innumerable
company, the British. heroes dead in
battle, and the conviction is born that
out of all the pain their departure has
brought some fitting ceremonial must
be. created to keep their memory fresh,
to perpstuate until distant ages
their honor and glory.
Turning over the pages OF Japsn's
lifebook, nothing is more expressive
of the psychology of the people.
more simple and signified, than the
Festival OF the Dear as It is observed
in city. town, and village at various
dates throughout the months Of July
and August.
The Washington times., 1918-10-27
Houses Cleaned.

1t is a celebration that is part and
parcel of the japanese people, and
as an old faith that has come TO
them from India and China. 1t is
still respected. in spite of the in
pouring of western ideas that tend
to destroy the very foundations on
which eastern life is based. In To-
kyo the dead are welcome back on
the night OF July 13 and hold sway
over the living until the night Of the
18th when they take their departure.
The houses are scrupulously cleaned
as though real guests Of flesh and
blood OF great Importance were ex-
pected.' BY the entrance gate or
door a bonfire is made of bundles of
pith in order that the returning ones
may see the light and find the way
to the welcome that awaits them
within.
In the tokonoma, or recess, in the
chief room of the house, flowers are
especially arranged. and before the
Buddhist family altar is placed a
plain wooden stand. made in three
ONGI Dg
on which are arranged fruit and
vegetables, the best the household
can produce, offered to the unseen
spirits who may be pleased even
though they can no longer partake
of them.
Every, house in Tokyo, great or
small, hangs out its paper lantern at
night, made Of thin, filmy paper. ca
which artists draw many pleasing
figures or landscapes. They are to
give a festive touch to the house,
that the returning spirit may feel
happy and comfortable. Gloom of
any kind is banished, and all dis
agreeable things put out OF sight
The family INDUCES in a quiet So
cial time, as though the departed
ones were present to partake OF the
pleasure. If there is music, dance. or
song, it is to entertain the spirits.
