JAPANESE
EMPEROR
CROWNED
Enormous Crowd Sees
Colorful Ceremony At
Ky0tO.
NATION REJOIC E S
Ancient Ritual Used
While Modern Invention
Plays Its Part.

KYOTO, Japan, Nov. 10.-Under
a radiant rainbow-an omen of good
luck-Hirohito today was crowned
Emperor of all Japan in a colorful
rite that was as old as the Japanese
empire.
Guns roared salute as the new
Emperor, the 124th in Japan S his
tory, and his Empress mounted the
thrones in the throne room of the
Royal Palace and promised 10000
1000 japanese that the ruler of the
new administration would be faith-
tul and happy.
There was tremendous crowd
locking on as Hirohito No
Miya and his wife, Nagako, as
sumed the rule of this great empire
in rites that were awe inspiring.
The day was ideal There had been
murky weather for days as the
great throng wcndcd its way here
from various parts of the nation
and even as the royal party came
up from Toxic.
But today as the first ceremonies
of the coronation started brilliant
sun beat down, forecasting peaea
and happiness. The rainbow formed
in the north and many pointed and
remarked on the good omen.
Japan's 124th Emperor arose az
! Il. m. on this important day of
! his life.
He was brisk for there was a tre-
imendously heavy program confront
! ing him. He proceeded to Gyoden,
where he changed into. the marvellous
appearing white robes that were II
part of the ceremony.
Then at a. m. the ceremony of
reporting Hirohito's Inauguration
! to his anccstOrs--a rite that was
beautiful in its ancient conception
! Of rectness-started. This lasted
| for several hours
! Mounts Throne
/ Shortly after midday, he aseended
the black and gold throne from the
rear. On either side of the throne
stood the three symbols by which
| Hirohito was given the divine right
to rule-the divine mirror, the sacred
sword and the sacred beads. Two
gentlemen in waiting removed tho
curtains from around the throne and
revealed the new Emperor to the
assembled masses. Two ladies-in-
waiting did the same task for the
Empress, who was seated on u
smaller throne.
The sacred trinity of the Con-
/ fucion belief were carried in front
of the throne.
Then Hirohito arose. He gripped
a baton tightly in his hand and held
/ it against his breast. The Empress
likewise arose and held a Hi-Ogi, II
brilliantly decorated fan, in her
/ hand
Princes of the royal blood saluted.
Premier Baron Tanaka strobe to q
position of prominence on the plat
form after which the new Emperor
read Il rcscript announcing his
cnthroncmcnt. The announcement was
carried to the Sun God under whom
the new ruler must reign.
Tanaka advanced to the fore
ground and congratulated the new
Emperor and the cnthronement was
ended.
There was a strange contrast be.
tween ancient rites and modern app
piiances at this cOlorful ceremony.
Each part of the ritual was that
handed down through the centuries
of Japan 5 history; the robes worn
tby the Emperor and Empress and
other dignitaries were similar to
those of Lun1rn1S nf Vaars upn onH
yet the entire proceedings was
broadcast through the nation by .
special radio hOokup.

ALLIED NATIONS
To CELEBRATE
ARMISTICE DAY
Memorable Date Not
To Be Observed In
Germany.

Closing hours of the worlds great
est conflict were recalled today as
many nations prepared to honor
those who died in the World War
At least in three nations-Cnited
Statcs, France and Great Britain
there will be fitting ceremonies to
honor those Young men whose lives
were given in the struggle for De
mocracy. Each nation will honor its
war dead through ceremonies at the
tomb Of the Unknown Solder.
Tomorrow in Washington Presi-
dent Coolidge will speak in the
American Legion's ceremonies and
his message will be carried through
the United States in special radio
hookup of the National Broadcasting
Company. Other speakers will in
clude General John j. Pcrshing, who
led the American forces in France,
Paul V. McNutt, national cont
mandcr of the American Legion, and
Thomas j. Dixon, a retired army
chaplain.
The ceremony will be between
0:l5 n. m. and 1915 n. m. OF. $. t.
At II q. III. n buglc will sound
taps over the radio. For two min
utes the nation will pause - indus
try will stop in a silent tribute to
the war dead.
Germany Not Celebrating
King George will lead the ccra-
monv at the tomb of the Unknown
Warrior in London. He will lay
n wreath upon the monument to
Great Britain 5 "glorious dead. :
In Paris a procession will pass
through the Are De Triomph and
will stop in front. of the Eternal
Flamc,' under which rests the body
Of a French vcteran-thc rcprcsen-
tativc of the million and mora
French soldiers who died before the
World War closed. President CASTOR
Doumcrgue will knecl before the
tomb and pay the official tribute of
the French people.
Germany is trying to forget. Tn
like the United States, France and
Great Britain there is no official
recognition of 'Armisticc Day or OF
that fateful November Q when the
government fell and the Monarchy
gave way, The brisk fife of the
country side and Of the streets in
the major cities, gave little hint OF
that dark hour 10 years ago. Somo
newspapers commented on it but
the people seemed more inclined tC
ignore the anniversary of the war,
ending.

PALO ALTO, Calf, Nov. TO-
Prcsidont-clcct Iloover's decision to
make an extended South American
tour as a prelude to his administra-
ton, is regarded as n brilliant stroke
of craftsmanship.
1t is "good wiIl' mission on Il
grand scale, something unique. No
other prcsident-clect ever under
took anything like it. The only
presidential move that rivals il is
Woodrow Wilson'S visit to Europe
to swing sentiment behind his Lea
guc of Nations schcmr and to parti-
cipatc in the peace conference.
Harding, as prcsidcnt-clcct, took
= trip to the Panama Canal, but that
was of a different nature. He did
not use battlcship, but went on
n private liner.
1t is definite mission upon which
Hoover goes when he stcams out of
San Diego harbor, within week or
10 days. on the battlcship Maryland,
flagship of the battle fleet.
He plans to start his administra
tion of the nation 5 affairs by as
suring goodwill among the Latin
american neighhors, whose trade
now is Il source Of rivalry with
European nations.
Seeks Good Will
He hopes to forcstall in his ad
ministration amy such trouble Il,
that which has occurred in recent
years in Mexico and Nicaragua.
The itinerary, not yet completed
provides for visits to Panama, Peru
rhilr, Argentina, Brazil and
Uruguay.
Hoover will visit Havana, Cuba
On the return northward. During his
stop Mt Panama on the way sout!
he will inspect the canal, riding on
the Panama Canal railway to the
eastern end.
From Havana, the Maryland vii
turn northward TO New York, whcr,
the Prcsidcntclcct is expected tC
land in the early part of the new
year.
Final details of the South Amcri
can trip await completion Of diplo
matte negotiations with the coun
tries which Hoover plans to visit.
Whether Mrs. Hoover will make
the trip has not been determined
The prcsident.clcct will take hi
younger son Allan.
Hoover will maI.c his first public
appearance today since his election
when he goes to the Stanford SantG

LAVA STREAMS
CONTINUE TO
RAISE HAVOC
Sicilian Towns Suffer
Enormous Damage from
Volcano Outbreak.
By THOMAS B. MORGAN
UNITED Press Staff Co-respcndent)

CATANIA, Sicily, Nov. l0.-The
advancing lava stream from erupt-
ing Mount Aetna reached the rail
road bridge near Mascali at a. m.
today, increasing speed and volume
as fresh lava was added to the des-
tructivc torrent.
The advanced stream now is made
up Of two of the currents which have
joined in single unit, carrying dcs-
truction into . new territory.
In two hours today this main
stream advanced 90 feet, after hay
ing increased in both size and speed
hourly during the night.
At the cruptivc mouth of the
volcano, according to Prof, Ponte,
the lava output is almost constant
and the level of the molten stream
is unchanged.
Heavy Eamage
Already the cruptionS from this
great mountain of fire have caused
damage estimated at %l0,000,OO0
and this damage will be increased
if the wide stream Of lava continues
TO pour down on the fertile valleys.
Ouly two persons have been kill
ed because the great crater gave
warning before it unlooscd its
varied streams Of lava. Twelve
thousand however were forced to
ovacuatc their homes in the peace
ful little villages which lay at the
bottom of the mountainSidc.
All of the villages are deserted.
Some have been damaged, Mascali
has been destroyed, only few
buildings remaining standing as
gaunt symbols of the great disaster
that visited the city destroying it
as it was destroyed some 300 years
ago.
The United Press correspondent
approached the great crater from the
Carrita valley, which is on the south
east slope of Mount Aetna.
The center Of the crater was hurl-
ing vollcys of stones into the air
as high ms lG0 feet. Occasionally dull
explosions could hc heard from the
interior Of the volcano.
As the lava swept down the noun
tain sida there was Il great stream
Of smoke rising above. The path of
this great lava bed, which destroy
cd everything in its course, rcscm
blcd the chutes of steel mill with
the molten metal streaming along
to its course.

1t was with great pleasure that l
recently read a letter in the Daily

ing Americans who have made any
study of the Soviet government and
its aims have a deep respect for
it. We hope for the continuation and
perfection of the Soviet government,
AS for the working conditions of
myself and fellow workers, it might
be summed up in this way. The
average working hours of a common
laborer, not skilled in any trade, are
from nine to ten day, six days a
week, and almost always with no
vacation. He will earn about three
dollars day or SIS a week.
House rent will cost $500 a
month. Gas and electricity will av-
erage about four dollars a month
A pound loaf of bread costs ten
cents. A quart of sweet milk costs
IA cents. A suit of work clothes
costs four dollars and fifty cents
and suit of dress clothes for work
ing man will cost about $25. Shoes
for men average three dollars or five
dollars a pair.
Women's dresses will cost (for
work. two dollars to four dollars.
For dress they cost from eight dol
lars to fourteen dollars and about
half of that if they make them them
selves.
But working girl hasn't much
time to make dresses for herself
Girls and women make from seven
dollars to fifteen dollars a week de-
pending on the nature of the work.
Every store and business is owned
by private interests. Very few
workers own their own homes. Most
of them rent houses from the lane
and house owners.
We have a small nucleus in Okla.
homa City and we are growing. We
have to keep our membership secret
from our employees for fear of losing
our jobs. And it is hard to get q
job because there are so many mer
out of work. Our work so far has
been to increase our membership
and to spread literature on Com,

SALOON KEEPER
TO LABOR FAKER
Nathan Tried to Stop
All Strikes

John B. Nathan, former saloon
keeper and and official of the Ice
Cream and Inside Workers Union,
Local I, died on Sept. 81. The even
ing previous he had attended a
party. Some of his friends intimate
foul play.
The funeral was held on Sept. %
and the remains were taken to the
Wilmer and Siniyer Synagogue.
There religious services were held.
About 60 cars followed the corpse
to the cemetery. Many ice cream
manufacturers and other bosses at
tended A number of religious in
dividuals were also present, among
them Rabbi Epstein of the Singer
congregation of which the late Ma
than was a member.
He was typical of A. F. of L. off
Gals and is alleged to have col.
laborated With the bosses, and TIC
have tried to avert strikes at all
costs.
Rumors were circulated recently
that the owners offered him $4,000
to leave the union, but Nathan re.
fused. Many believe that this is 9
pure fairy tale, while others say
that there was better field fol
money making in the union. At any
rate, the readers should draw theil
own conclusions.
Nathan helped the poor in small
ways in order to gain their gooC
