PRESIDENT TAFT IS
SHOCKED BY NEWS

WASHINGTON. July 2e.--Upon learn
Ing or the death of the emperor OF Ia pan,
President Taft dictated the following
statement:
II am greatly shocked at the death of
tho emperor OF Japan, 1t has been my
good fortune to have met the emperor as
many as half a dozen times and to have
come into such relations with him as his
guest as to feel that there was a personal
friendship between us.
"The emperor was remarkable ruler.
He was hard worker and gave great
attention to matters OF government, His
genius for government was shown IN his
selection of generals, admirals and states
men who have reflected glory OH the Jap
ancse nation,
Rarely In the history of the world has
such progress been made or can be go
clearly traced to the ability OF certain
men who lead In It and were the emper-
ors selection and enjoyed always his sup
port, His distribution OF offices and hon
ors and titles was. made after careful
comparison OF the Importance of the SER
Vices rendered. No one who knows inti-
mately the history OF Japan In recent
years will deny to Mutsuhito tho real
leadership OF his people"
