Evidence Is Tangible.
This matter of historical prestige Is
based upon certain very tangible evi-
dences. In the case of Nara, once upon
q time capital of Japan, no present
trace shows of the ancient imperial
palace. Only bare stone marker in
dicates the site of that wonderful resi-
dence, which was RACED to the ground
when the new Emperor, in 764. decided
that that was not the place for his es-
tablishment and moved. and at the
same time ordered that no vestige OF
his predecessors palace should remain.
Here at Kyoto, where that ruler came.
evidence everywhere. The city is In It
self a monument to the past.
It was in 794 that Emperor Kammu
chose this area as his capital, there
having been an interval OF decade
between the abandonment of Nara and
the choice of Kyoto. 1t was not until
after the restoration of the imperial
power in 1868, when the Shotgun was
deprived of his authority, that Emperor
Meiji, deeming it wise to mark the
change of rule by a change OF capitals,
chose Toxic, then known as Yedo, as his
seat of government. But 1t was to be
only the political seat of government
and not the spiritual center. That was
to remain In Kyoto, and 1t has so re-
mained, Just as it has retained its old
name, which signifies western Capt.
tai" as Toxic means Eastern, Capital"
The Emperor Meiji always loved KY
oto There was one great hill in par
ticular, on the southern side of the CITY,
some distance out, of which he was
especially fond. He used to come here
and ascend that hill and there mediate
upon the beauties of nature, even as
the Japanese people for countless gen.
erations have sat and absorbed the
loveliness of the flowers, the trees, the
waters the clouds and all the notes of
wind and birds. So when the Emperor
Meiji passed away that hill was se-
lected as his burial place. It is today
one of the most revered places In japan,
for Meiji was great ruler, wise and
kind. and to him Japan owes her pres
ent state of progress.

Tomb Weighs Tons.
The tomb itself is an Immense
rounded pile of gray stones, only the
top of which can be seen from the
pathways. There, under tons upon tons
of stone, rests Japan's great modern
ruler. Behind his tomb is that Of his
consort, the Empress Meiji, who was
equally beloved by the Japanese people.
Our tribute was to be paid to her as well,
but to do this We had to march out
and around by circuitous pathway.
TO the opposite side of the shrine, where
a Similar gateway gave access to an
inner space, and an inner gateway
tightly closed, before which the second
of the wreaths, which had been brought
around by one of the guards by an III
side route, was formally placed, with
more bowling.
It was a simple and an effective
ceremonial. We felt that we had
merely done our duty as citizens of
the country which effected Japan's
emergence into modern life and which
greatly admired the Emperor whose
memory we marked by our visit and
tribute.
Nowhere else in Japan is there such
a shrine. There are no buildings, no
sculptures, no Celebrations Simply

1t is said that Osakans, proud of their
prosperity, are disposed to speak OF
Kyoto as q city with magnificent past

The capitalists, in preparing for
war, know how important it is to
win the youth, and the big Boy
Scout Jamboree for which close to

held in England this August is only
part of the preparations of the

succeeded in selling S400,000,00O
worth of Liberty Bonds which helped

The purpose Of this big jamboree

expected, among whom there will be
