ment Of his death was made.
The Mikado Alutsuhito has never
been much more than an idea TO his
people TO the elect he appeared for o
few moments twice yearly at a cere-
monial garden party, but the masses
have not only never seen him, but
have never even seen his carriage roll
past, or so much as the streets clear
ed for his passage. The crown prince
Is known about Toxic as man OF
flesh and blood, for he has ventured
out and shown himself, although al
ways deliberately surrounded by his
attendants.
Mutsuhito was OF a quiet unassum-
ing nature. yet possessed OF a Will Of
iron, he accomplished great reforms.
AS a statesman he commanded the
respect Of the nations of the world.
AS a leader OF his people In peace and
In war he was both loved and feared.
To his virtues they attributed the vic
tories over their enemies by land and
sea. To his wisdom they credited
the advance or ancient Japan TO a
place in. the front rank OF nations.
His reign began in 1857 and outlasted
that OF all but two or three living
monarchs.
Under the rule OF Mutsnhito Japan
enjoyed an unprecedented era Of pros
perity. Civilization has made rapid
strides. The arts and ideas Of the
western world have been adopted and
Japan has emerged from darkness into
light.

Emperor Komei and succeeded 20 the
throne on the death Of his father in
1867, becoming the one hundred and
twenty-first Emperor Of japan. The
country was then in a ferment owing
to concessions which had been grant
ed as the result OF a treaty made in
1856 after the visit OF the expedition
commanded by Commodore Perry the
American naval officer, in 1924. This
-,
trade II was only by force of arms
that the new ruler enforced his de
cree and saved Japan from reyersion
20 primitive conditions
In 1869 the emperor established a
deliberative assembly This and
other reforms then inaugurated ended
feudalism, which had existed for cen
turtles in Japan, and the nation moved
forward on the road Of progress.
