Death Of Youthful Japanese Emperor

Death OF Youthful Japanese Emperor,
According TO a Spanish writer on
Japan, the most pathetic suicide re-
corded in the history of that country
took place over eight centuries ago.
In 1881" writes Senor Gomez CARL.
10, "the nine-year-old Emperor Ko-
tuku saw his troops defeated. The
child disheveled his hair, wept copi-
ously, and invoked the holy name OF
Buddha. When he had finished his
nurse Niidono took him in her arms
to the seashore. There is lovely
city beneath the bay che said, and
then the waves covered the emperor
and his nurse"
