the Shnnkoden hall, where was en
shrined the sacred mirror brought
from Toklo. The 8hunkoden was of
plain, unvarnished wood and con
sisted of an outer ball, inner hall and
shrine. It was simply decorated. In
deed, simplicity dominates the coro
nation ceremonies. The decorations
were those of Shtntolsm, the religion
adopted by the court, which is mora
pronouncedly a series of rites than a
religion pure and simple.
At the appointed time tits two sal of
the outer nail "kenrel-mon'' and
"kenshunmon," respectively, facing south
and east, were opened for the reception
of those allowed to attend the craitd cere
mony. Then arrived the guests, distinguished

Including civil and military officers and
the diplomatic corps, who bad assembled
in the antechamber, rose and entered
the main hall. All these people were

pressive silence, suddenly broken by
trains of muslo. The steady, clear note
of the Japanese flute was succeeded by
harmonious rofler strains, symbollo of
sanctity and Joy. This was the kagura or
Bhlt.lo muslo played by the court mu
sicians. As the chorda filled the sir the
doors of the Imperial sanctuary were
slowly opened and the ritualists placed
sacred offerings before the altar. This

court, his people and the envoys from
foreign lands. The emperor was a strik

of purity and sanctity. On his head the
emperor wore a silk coronet of Imperial

Issue of Big War
Says Dr. Jordan
MADISON, Wis., Nov. l.-"The main
Issue In thle European war Is the desire
of ths aristocracy to maintain Ita past"
said Dr. David Starr Jordan of Cali
fornia, who addressed ths university con
vocation this afternoon at tho university
armory.
"It U purely a face-saving measure to
defeat the Inevitable onrush cf democracy
and the social progress of ths people. An
other element to be condemned In this
war Is the war trust the .nil I tary groups,
who, backed by the millions of dollars
of working material and millions of men
welcome this world catastrophe.
"A general share of the agitation for
national preparedness In this country to
day Is being Incited by persons and or

taining their grip on the graft that is
connected with the manufacture of mi'

EARL KITCHENER
OH WAYTO INDIA
Eeal Destination of Sirdar Said 'to
B Far East Where Uprising
Menaces British Power.
KIZAH OF HYDERABAD DEPOSED
WASHINGTON. Not. 9. Earl
Kitchener's ultimate mission during j
bis mysterious absence from the !
British war office is said by con
fidential information roceived here
today, to be India, where, according
to the game information, British rule
Is confronted with a more serious
state of unrest than has been gener
ally known outside of British of
ficial circle.
Through the thick veil which the Brit
ish censorship has thrown about ths
events In India and Kgypt comes a state
ment that Nawab, Sultan Ul Mulk, tho
Nlsam of Hyderabad, one of the most
Influential of the native princes, and a
staunch supporter of the British, has
!en deposed by his people.
Thla development coming as ons of ths
climaxes to successive reports of mutinies
and unrest, many of which have been
substantiated and admitted by the British
government is said to be the leading
reason for Earl Kitchener's departure
from England, which has been shrouded
with much secrecy. '
It haa been officially announced that
the head or the British war office was on
his way to the theater of operations tn
the near eaet which has been generally
interpreted as meaning the Balkans where
the critical situation of ths moment con
fronts the allied forc.j. Information
reaching the United States, however.
through channels not subject to Censor
ship Is to the 'effect that It Is we hjnown
In London among those close to the gov
ernment that while Earl Kitchener may
atop In the Balkans to co-ordinate the
efforts of the allied forces his ultimate
destination is not only India, but Egypt
as well, where the British gateway to
Asia now is menaced by the Teutonl?-Bulgartan-Turk
successes In tho Balkans.
Coupled with repeated rumors of activities
of German agents fomenting discontent
among the native population of India,
have come reports of dissaffectlon In
Egypt also ascribed to the same sources.
