Member of American Journalists' Party Touring Orient as Guest of Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. May 23, 1929, Miyanoshita, Japan. ‘This morning I awakened to the sound of falling water. I knew that there was a cascade just outside of my room, a most picturesque addition to a lovely landscape, but this sound differed somewhat from that of.a “waterfall.” It had an odd flmllllrlty and when I arose to investigate I found that it was rain, steady, heavy rain. It was evident that there would be no ali- day excursion to the five lakes of Fuji that had been planned, with a 9 o'clock start. That assumption was confirmed at breakfast, when we were formally notified that the day was unallotted. i And so here, at the heart of the cele- srated Fujl district of Japan, we are | :njoying a vacation, so to speak, from sightseeing, a whole “day off,” in which to loaf or to write letters or to read, or all three, according to taste. I have elected to write, first of all to zmg my report of happenings up to ate. Our departure from Tokio yesterday morning was in the nature of an “affair.” We were escorted to the train by several of our devoted associ- ates of the 10 days of sightseeing and social functions. Some of them went even to the next station to stretch out the parting. We had, as heretofore on our railway trips, a “reserved” car, and In the Garden of a Hotel, Miyon-Oshita. it is understood that this is to be our accommodation throughout, to the limits of the Japanese control and in- fluence in Manchuria. Our original program called for a run to Atami, a seaside resort on Sagami Bay, and then a motor run lln to this place. But it was changed to take us off the train at Odawara, sev- eral miles nearer Miyanoshita, bringing us here for luncheon. In that way we made the trip easily, in less than 3 hours from Tokio, and had a delightful combination of ‘rural, seashore and mountain scenery. Miyanoshita, which /means “Below the Shrine,” is situated on a terrace above the Haya River, at an elevation of nearly 1,400 feet. It is in the center of the hot springs section. The hot ‘water supply of the hotel, the Fujiya— which is rated by experienced travelers as the best in Japan, a reputation which it is not improper to broadcast inas- much as, apart from a few Japanese inns, it is the only place of public resort here—is brought in from one of these hot springs. Yesterday was rainless, but not wholly fair. The sun was fickle and grew feeble toward the afternoon. It was not good “Fuji weather.” All the way up from Tokio we had been [Hmpln' out of the car windows and ADVERTISEMENT. 1HAVE YOU TRIED ‘THE NEW MILLER'S HERB EXTRACT | Washington People Who | | Have Say It Is' Without a| | Doubt the Greatest Medi- | |cine They Ever Used. | | _Do you know that Miller's Herb | Extract (formerly called Herb Juice) is one of the largest selling medi- e s o ming el day and that reliable people who have lived here for years claim that it gave them relief from chronic ail- ments that other medicines failed to touch?

Why, for months and months I was in 80 much misery I could not rest day or night, my. stomach seemed to be full of gas, felt sore and I was con- | tifually beiching up & sour bile, there was a steady pain in my left side just below the ribs, I had severe attacks of dizziness, spots seemed to float before my eyes, head hurt all the time, I was so nervous I could not rest properly at night and would get up each morning with a bad taste in my mouth, tongue was al- ways coated and I simply felt miser- able.

We had been told that it could be seen, on clear days, from the decks of incoming ships. We had been shown places in Tokio from which, in good conditions, Pul could be seen. We had been led laces celebrated for their “views of Pu i.” But never a vision of the cele- brated truncated cone had any of us been vouchsafed. It was as though Fuji had been overwhelmed in the quake of 1923. After luncheon several members or the party, their piscatorial tendencies whetted by the experiences of Mon- day at Lake Chuzenji, above Nikko, made up an informal excursion at Lake Hakone, about a half-hour motor Tun over the mountains, I went along, not as a fisherman, but as a camerist, hoping to get a shot at Fuji. It was a bit chilly. The sky was gray. Condi- tions were not good. But I was re- warded. ‘The road to Hakone is filled with in- teresting details. It is steep and wind- ing, not so twisting as the 38 hair-pin turns from Nikko to Lake Chuzenji, but sufficiently tortuous to prevent any ennui on the way. A short distance out of Miyanoshita the eye is suddenly gladdened by a vision of wonderful beauty, a garden at a large inn, a mass —(Photo by G. A.L.) of gorgeous and exquisitely blended color, Hundreds of azaleas and rhod- odendrons blend into a picture never to be forgotten. ‘This region is replete not only with | hot springs, but with shrines of greater or lesser significance. The roadside is almost strewn with them, not the elab- orate, highly colored shrines of the Nikko area, not buildings, with priests and bells, but roadside votive places, stone images, carvings in the rocks, pillars and monuments. One of these Y‘lu! lies a little way beyond the vil- age of Ashinoyu, a tiny hamlet through | which the motor car twists as in a | maze, Here, close to the road, are three small lichen-covered stone sobotas | or monuments, known as the Soga | Brothers and Tora Gozen. Two, stand- ing side by side, represent the brothers, the other, a little apart, stands for the sweetheart of the elder brother, I re- t & description that has been given me: “The brothers’ memorials commemo- rate the old samurai lrll'lt and especially the trait of filial piety.

Sukeyasu, the father “of the boys, was treacherously murdered by M.s kinsman, Kudo Suketsune, a high vassal of Minamoto Yoritomo, who, at the latter’s instigation, tried also to kill the two fatherless boys, Juro and ro. Their mother married Soga Sokenobu, who sent Gom, the youn(er son, to Hakone Gongen become monk, but the lad hated th! calling ll'ld escaped from the temple, firmly resolved to join his brother in avenging their father's death. They pursued this plous vendetta for 16 years before its culmi- nation. Yoritomo })llchtd his hunting camp at the base of Mount Fuji, bnng. ing Kudo Suketsune with him. One night the brothers sought and found Kudo’s tent, discovering him sound asleep. Deeming it cowardly to stab even an enemy in sleep, they awakened him and after a flerce fight put him to death. Juro, then 22 years old, lost his life in the fight. Goro was cap- tured and taken before Yoritomo, who condemned him to death by having his head hacked off with a blunt sword. ‘Tora Gozen, whose name has been preserved with those of the boys, was a courtesan of the town of Osio, near Kozu, and the mistress of Juro. She had faithfully aided him in his revenge and became a nun after his death.” Note that the elder brother was only 22 when he died in the fight with his enemy, and that he had been pursuing the vendetta for 16 years. The samurai spirit became active early in life in the old Japan. A little farther along the road is a rock, standing on a lower level, called Nijugo Bosatu, or “Twenty-five Buddhist saints,” from that same number of images carved on it in high relief. Tra- dition says that these images were cut in a single night by Kobo Daishi, who was prevented from completing his task by the rising of the sun, leaving the two | figures at the top unfinished. Down the road a bit ahead, at a higher level, is carved a huge seated figure of Jizo, 12 feet high, in re- lief. It is likewise attributed to the industrious Kobo Daishi, working on it only one night. It is said to be a thou- sand years old, and is venerated in festival on the 23d of every August.

Benjamin 2010 18th St. Fuji than as the occasional of im- perial vlllhflmu. Yesterday was not one of its mirror days. It was ruffied with a brisk breeze and Fuji was hid- den behind clouds when we arrived. _ Our fishermen went off in a motor boat, clad in padded Japanese coats against the chilly wind, while I re- mained ashore picture hunfl.ng I found a number, with playing children as sub- Jects. I had been given the direction of “Fujisan,” or “Mr. Fujl,” as the | mountain is called by most Japanese, and occasionally I looked that way through my glasses. For nearly an hour the “Grand Old Man” of the sky was completely hidden from me. Then sud- denly, while I was peering through my binocular, there came a faint change of tone in the cloud above a rounded mountain top across the lake. At first 1 thought it merely due to a shifting of the vapor. Then it deepened, and while I looked another darker spot appeared, close at hand. And then another, and it became evident that I was witnessing Fuji in the act of awakening from his sleep. I do not know whether I would have preferred to come upon Fuji fully in see him, as I did, emerging from the clouds. Inasmuch as the latter was my introduction to him, I think I am glad leview for my first vision of him, or to | E to have had that vision. It was a slow, mysterious process, Puji was awakening reluctantly. He would come out, and then go back to sleep. At last the whole line of his broken crest was visible. ‘Then his right flank, which spread down the side of the intervening moun- tain, came to view, and in a few minutes his left flank emerged likewise. ‘There was Fuji, precisely capping the other mountain. Through the glass the snow field of the crest was plainly evi- dent, with deep shadows due to the corrugations of the surface. Unfor- tunately the sky beyond did not clear, s0 that the white crest of Fuji did not stand out vividly against a background. But there he was, and this evening when the photographs are ‘delivered I will know whether I was so fortunate as to catch him with my camera. It was a long shot, and a risky one, in the poor light of a cloudy day, and without the possibility of using a color screen or light filter to give the snowy crest a | value against the gray sky. So I have seen Fuji. This rain— which the barometer downstairs indi- cates as of the “typhoon” variety—may continue throughout our stay in this district, which ends tomorrow afternoon, and we may not have another go at the evasive monarch of the hills. But, in PROTEST PLAYGROUND SITE ON BUSY CORNER Thirty-Fourth and Macomb Streets Held Dangerous for Chil- drens Activities. A strong protest against the estabe lishment of a children's playground near Thirty-fourth and Macomb streets was made at a ineeting of a score of the residents of Cleveland Park before the Board of Education in the Frank- lin School Building yesterday afternoon. Conrad H. Syme, as spokesman for the residents in the vicinity of Thirty- fourth and Macomb streets, denouncea the s t as one of the most dangerous in t District of Columbia for a chudrens playground, due to the heavy volume of traffic that crosses the inter- section from both directions. There have been five accidents in the neigh- borhood within the last two months, he declared. Mr. Syme also maintained that there was no necessity for an addi- tional playground since the one ad- joining the John Eaton School, only a block away, was sufficient. any case, I have had my view e( Fujl, :e:‘ was worth coming fo Japan to FRIENDSHIP HOUSE TERM.
