The official was shocked, but the visitor
went on: "You need not mind. am

as we'll as conducive to his health and
comfort, that his clothing should be in
the best possible condition at all times,
and he is certainly entitled to military
garb that would be as becoming as the
civilian dress which he is accustomed to
wear in the daily walks of life.
IF the state accepts his services and
relies upon his intelligence and patri-
otism to maintain law and order, it can
certainly afford to furnish him with a
uniform which he would be proud to
wear and which would be becoming to
him as a representative Of the commons

retired about six years ago, when he
was called by the emperor to be one
of the privy councillors, the highest
honor that can be hoped for by the no.
bility. When yet young man the
new ambassador went to Germany as a
student and received there training in
the large universities. Twice he was
returned there as minister Naturally,
German is the language with which he
Is most familiar, but he speaks English
readily.
1t is expected that the viscount, ac-
companied by the viscountess, who is
of German birth, the viscount having
met and married her while serving his
country in Germany, will come to this
country without delay. 1t is believed
here that the Japanese government
will purchase an embassy building
more conveniently located than is the
present legation. Viscount Aoki is
about 60 years old and is considered
3 man of great ability. Before enter

minister of foreign affairs and Mr..
Takahira, whom he succeeds here,
served under him as vice minister.
