wide attention their war is receiving.
They welcome the war correspondents
from all parts Of the earth. The pres
ence Of so many representatives Of the
press Of other nations has made the
japanese self-conscious as world
power. But they know that the cable
has made the whole world whispering
gallery.
Military movements. TO be secret, must
be silent and unwitnessed. If a CORE
spOndent should by accident obtain
knowledge OF japanese plans and get
one word out OF Japan 20 an American
newspaper. for instance. the news would
be known in st. Petersburg in an hour.

The Future MikadO

%H HEY have a mighty atom in Japan
says the London Daily Mall for
L the future AIikado Will not be
three years old until April next. Grand
son Of the present Emperor, his royai
hfghness Prince AIicchi is a strong.
healthy. lusty boy. whose pranks are al
ready chronicled and narrated through
out japan. even as are those Of the
youngest princes of the reigning Eng
lish house.
Japan is up 70 date in many things,
but in everything there is always 4
quaint blend OF the Oriental with the
Western. The AIikado is not the least
bit superstitious. and. IN spite OF early
inf nence. when he was taught poetry
and the arrangement Of flowers. prefers
Everything about him to be European.
It IS curious 10 learn. therefore that on
the birth Of Prince AIicchi court astrol-
ogers were set TO work 10 cast the
baby's horoscope. Indeed. it has been
done every day since The real fact
is the people demand that this should
be done. A horoscope had been made Tor
other royal princes for % centuries, and
everyone in Japan was most anxious 20
know what fate had In store for the
new baby. It was small matter. and
both the Nik4do and the Crown Prince
gave their consent 10 mystic rites and
elaborate incanLatiOns being performed,
though they have not the smallest be-
lief in the published results.
Before little Prince Micchi was six
Incnths old a most elaborate imperial
seal had been made Tor his use" Here
again the ancient customs of Japan
were too powerful for the new Western
ideas In the land OF the chrysanthe-
mum a mans seal IS his most impor-
tant possession Forgery Of a seal is
punished more severely than robbery.
Consequently baby Prince Micchi's
seal became a matter at once Of the
greatest Importance. II had to be diff
ferent from that used by his father.

she shaved the top and the rim and
left a tonsure: sometimes she left only
the rim, and sometimes a scalp lock
and two other locks only.
Ibis went on for quite six years. AL
Though Prince Micchi has twenty-five
of the prettiest little japanese nurses
imaginable. they are not allowed 10
practice their decorative tonsorial DOW
ers on the wee prince. Count Hawai-
lnura, a lifelong friend of the crown
prince. is superintendent OF the royal
nursery. and he regulates matters in a
very stern fashion for Prince Micchis
well-being. Not even a silken cushion
goes into the nursery unless the count
has first seen Il and set his own hall
mark of approval and the princes seal
70 it.
To Eliminate Almond Eye.
Soon after the princes birth measures
were taken 70 eliminate the almond
eye" of his race. A painless little SUR
gical operation was performed. An in
cision was made on the outer point Of
the baby's eyelids in a straight line for
the barest part Of an inch. The lashes
were then drawn into shape and held
firmly by a piece Of chemically prepared
sticking plaster. The wound healed in
less than a week. and the effect now is
that Prince Micchi does not look a bit
like a son Of the Eastern island empire.
The embryo Micchi's wedding is al
ready under most serious discussion, and
three noble young ladies goo-gooing
with might and main in Flowery Land
nurseries have been selected as candi-
dates for the future rulers partner in
life BY the time Prince Micchi wants
a wife matters may have progressed so
much that he viii possibly be allowed
10 contract a love match.
May Have Twelve Wives.
At present. however. the law forbids
it. Prince Micchrs' wife will be. maybe

OF the five highest families in the land.
In addition, he is also entitled to choose
inferior wives 20 the number Of eleven
from the best families, and the position

Japanese Thr0ng DivOrce Courts

divorces to marriages was about ] TO I.
The fact is that japanese civilization
IS most cOnspicuoUsly weak in the mat
Ter of the status Of women. Divorce is
easy.
In fact. the seven causes laid down by
Confucius are allowed. One of these
permits a man to divorce his wife for
talking too much. Among the lower
classes divorce is extremely frequent.
1t is less so among the uppeE classes.
mainly because concubinage Is common.
The divorced wife patiently endures her
lot. and leaves the house of her lord
with a blessing for him upon her lips.
1t IS a rare thing for a woman in
Japan to seek divorce. though husbands
frequently give sufficient cause. The
fact that the care Of the children would
fall upon the wife should she obtain
divorce is a sufficient deterrent TO the
mothers who are poor. and the condition
Of extreme AFFECTION suffered by nearly
all Japanese women probably deters
wealthy wives from seeking divorce.
