GONFUCIUS' TOMB WONDERFUL PLACE Writer for Geographic Society Descrifes Chinese Temple | Washington, D. C, July _r‘-r"r)\e‘ tomb of Confucius, the Mecea to| which millions of Chinese pilgrims have journeyed, is said by dispatches to be covered with weeds due to af spute between descendants of lhr’ great sage, who ave inherited (h"‘ luty of caring for this ghrine of the nation The buria who o ap- fol- | place of the man has dominated Chinese thought 25 centuries is described, as it peared a few years ago, in jowing communication from Ct K imunds to the National graphic society This Confucian temple, ar 15 and magnificent place ing with its grounds the whole of one side of the town of Kufu, is the model of the Confucian temples found in all the cities of China. It is al-| most certair growth of ages. Contains Image of Sage. | “Within the main building, called| ‘The Hall Pe tion," sits the canopied image of the great sage, of | which there are not more than two| or three duplicates throughout the empire. Ordinarily, Confucian tem- | ples do not contain an image of the | sage, but a simple tablet before which veneration and devotions are ex- pressed The Tomb of Confuctus. “The statue is of wood, larger than | life size, and represents the sage| seated, holding in his hands the im-| perial tablet or scepter as a symbol | of his sovereignty in the realm of| thought | “He is clothed in nine different silk garments, on which the twelve im- perial emblems are embroidered,| namely, sun, moon, stars, mountains, | dragons, pheasants, altar-vessels, | water-lilies, flames of fire, rice, zxes‘i and classic characters. While arles Geo- ! m oceupy- | v the of nine of these were used for great princes| as well as emperors, the first three were exclusively imperial insignia. Thus is denoted the high rank with which Confucius has long been hon-| ored | Duke is Descendant of Confucius. “The temple grounds are separated | from the rest of the town by the| street that marks the site of the an-| cient village in which Confucius was born, the actual site of the house| itself being marked by the duke's| palace, for there is still a duke in Lu, the 77th lineal discendant of the| sage. | “Besides the contributions from| devotees and appropriations from | Peking, estates of many acres are| devoted to the support of the temple| and the supply of the great number | of pigs. sheep, and cattle required for | the sacrifices, for no symbolism of | cheap paper images as substitutes for| the real article, so common elsewhere | in China, is allowed here. | “The duke is also in charge of the up-keep of the great Confucian ceme- | tery, which lies outside the city to reach which one goes from the north gate of the city for about a mile | along a wide avenue lined with cypress trees. Tens of Thousands of Graves, “The portal to Sheng-ling, built in its present form in 1755 by the| 71st lineal descendant of Confucius, | gives access to a park-like enclosure of over 500 acres, containing the sepulcher of the sage and of all his descendants. The total is undouht-| edly several tens of thousands of| graves. When a family holds to- gethér for 2,500 years, it grows into a big concern—about 70 percent. of the population in these parts, even the soldiers sent as escorts, claiming| membership in the clan. The park is cared for by 200 attendants, whose‘ families have inherited this duty for| many hundreds of years | “From the outer entrance of the| ‘Grove of the True Sage' an avenue| of fine and ancient cypresses, about| 150 on a side, leads to an inner in- | closure, where are halls for worship | and monuments of imperial visits| from the Sung dynasty down | Monuments Mellowed by Age ‘“As one passes inward the monu- | ments become more and more an- cient. The aspects of the park are rather those of age than of neglect Presently one comes tc ‘The Holy Way,' closed in by walls denoting the imperial ranking of the sage | “Finally, in very nearly the center of the whole inclosure, the visitor| eomes to two hillocks that cover the| remains of Confucius and his son. In front of each is a simple stone altar and an inscribed pillar, the one before that of the sage himself read- ing ‘Most Holy Ancient Teacher.' “It is said that the earth forming the mound covering the body of Con- fucius has been brought from each of the eighteen provinces of the em- pire. However that may be, it is cer- tainly true that the influence of the mage has been and still is felt through- | out the whole extent of the great country; and the prophet himself, while in these latter radical days somewhat dusty, still bears on his shoulders the vast commonwealth of China, whose moral basis, with all its deficiencies, is surely a great me- morial to a great and wonderful At the present rate of exchange it costs $2,000 to maintain an American soldier for one yvear, $1,350 for an English soldier and $375 for a French soldier.

GETS INDORSEMENT Crowds at Hyde Park Prove De- yotion by Cheering Lustily for It London, July 26—"This meeting af- firms its bellef that the future peace and safety of the world depends upon the adoption the principles of the League of Nations. It recognizes that the admission of all European nations, and especially Ger- many, to the league is a natter of urgen, This resolution was put and carried simultaneo from ten different platforms in Hyde park. The occasion was the anniversary of league of na- tions day. Thousands proved their devotion to the league by cheering the resolution despite the rain which fell in torrents. League Prevented War. The Archibishop of York said he knew the league had prevented war between Sweden and Finland and that it had settled a most difficult ques- tion in Upper Silesia. Also it had quenched the sparks flying about Al- bania, the powder magazine of Eur- ope Lord by all nations of Robert Cecil said the league had brought back and restored to| their homes something approaching half a million prisoners of war; it had helped prevent disease and death spreading from the famine stricken areas of Europe, and had done much to raise labor conditions throughout the world The Earl of Cavan, chief of the im- perial general staff, sent this message: “My business is war and preparation for war, but that does not and never will prevent me from doing all T can to prevent war. The league of na- tions has, I believe, the backing of all thoughtful people.” RECANO NOT AGENT OF AMER. EXPRESS Representative of Company Says He Was Sub-Agent Once—Closed Out On May 1.

Indians will not trav- el through the valley, belleving it to be haunted by the giant animals whose bones they have seen, Footprints Found, In addition to the hones there are footprints in the sandstone and shale of some other pre-historic monster; these are clearly defined marks show- ing that the maker of the tracks was a three-toed Animal. The bones, which are of great size, are not fossilized but are in a state of excellent preservation. Hip bones and sections of the spine were found by Mr. Perry, who believes that hy excavation specimens of much his- toric value could be unearthed. Mr. Perry, a recent visitor here, spent 14 years in the far northern territory in the quest of minerals, two pack dogs being his companions. Neither canoes nor pack horses can be used to gain access to the district where these remains were found, and so far the only manner of travelling has been to live on the game, using dogs to pack the camp equipment on thelr backs. It requires a year to make the journey in this way, but an airplane could cover the distance in a few days. GRAND MASTER OF MASONS AT OUTING Rev. John L.

From all indications the outing will be a gigantic success.
