lovely daughters of the Maine and
Argentine quarters. Next to Ha-
kone, Makura, on the coast was
probably the favorite of the for
eigncrs. 1t was only an hour or so
from Yokohama with an excellent
electric train service every few min

Kamakura Popular
Many Americans went to Kama
kura each spring to stay until near
ly Christmas. The Kaihin hotel un-
der torcig management, was com
Portable. There was an excellent
beach and many summer cottages
were for rent.
The famous big Daibutsh, over 800
years old, is at Kamakdra. This
huge bronze Buddha stands out in
a grove of trees and one of the
favorite trips at Kamakura was too
see the buddha by moonlight. About
200 years ago tidal wave swept
Kamakura, demolishing the temple
that had always sheltered the image.
The beneficient Buddha was un-
harmed and has since been unpro-
tectcd by temple roof.
EnOshima one of the island swal-
lod by the tidal wave, is short
distance off the Kamakura coast.
The cave of Enoshima was one thing
always visited by tourists. A long
walk over the top of the island
with Fuji glistening in the distance,
took one to the dragon S cave. In
to a deep, narrow cavern getting
lower and lower all the time, led
by the flickering candle of the boy
guide, one came to the tiny shrine
of Benton, goddess of love.
The superstitious japanese believ-
ed this cave led by a subterrancan
passage to Mount Fuji. According
to the myth Benton was at one
time imprisoned. in the cave against
her will and i'll her anger placed a
rope across the entrance. Since then
no two lovers dare enter the cave
together for it will surely mean
destruction of their love.

WASHINGTON, September 8
The lovely mountain resorts of Ha-
kone and Myanoshita are ruins,
where it is easier to count the liv-
ing than the dead, the dispatches
from Japan tell us. Kamakura,
charming seaside place, is gone. Alta
mi, where the hot springs played,
also is wiped out. Enoshima, the
picturesque island, has sunk beneath
the waters.
Hakone, in the mountains was
perhaps the most popular OF. all the
Japanese resorts. Myanoshlla, a
mountain village in the same local
ity, had the best of all resort hotels,
FuJiya, which dispatches report was
utterly destroyed. 1t was managed
by Mr.. lamaguchi, manager also of
the Imperial Hotel i'll Toxic. Sit
uated high in the mountains with a
superb view of Fujiyama, it was a
great popular rendezvous for for

Splendid European Hotel
At Hakone there also was a splen-

edge of the lake in which Fu.p is

shore in the early morning one has
the feeling that by reaching out he
can surely touch the lovely snow

and the beautiful mountain walks
make Hakone an ideal summer re-

the lake were occupied by foreign
ers every summer.
The new year Geason always found
both Hakone and Myanoshita crowd

Japan liked to miss. There could be
