Everything European was eagerly
adopted. Torture was abolished In
1873 and modern judicial code was
authorized. The first railway was
built In 1872 and the English language
was taught In common schools.
Opposition to the sweeping changes
developed In the period from 1876 to
1884 and Mutsuhito faced and sup
lfessed three serious rebellious moye-
ments during that period.
Mutsuhito took leading part In
letting down the bars to other nations
but 1t was not until 1894 that he sue
cceaed In obtaining revision of for
eisn treaties.
The emperor prepared for the war
with China In 1894 with great zeal. He
reviewed the troops in person as they
left the shore of Japan for Korea and
Manchuria and later distributed re-
wards to those who won distinction.
In the war with Russia, 1904-5, he
again addressed the departing troops
and welcomed the returning army.
The emperor saw early In his career
mat Japan's supremacy In the east de :
pended largely on her ability to rule
the seas and he promptly added mod :
ern battleships and fast armorcd
cruisers to Japan's navy.
He armed his troops with modern
rifles and the performance of the
Japan soldiers in the field amazed the
Europeans who watched the advance
on Manchuria.
Mutsuhito was the first oriental
monarch to form. an offensive and de-
fensive alliance with another power.
In 1859 Mutsuhito married the Princess
Harnko. daughter of noble of the
first rank. The family of the emperor
spent most of the time In the palace
buildings and gardens surrounding
them and except at imperial reunions
the emperor was seldom seen.
The crown prince, Yoshihito, who
succeeded to the throne, was born
August 81, 1879. He was made heir
apparent August 81 1887. proclaimed
crown prince November g. 1888. and
decorated with the Grand Order of
Merit and Grand Insignia of the I'm
perial Chrysanthemum. He was pro-
rcted to be lieutenant colonel in the
army and commander. In the navy In
1901. He became lieutenant general
and vice admiral on November 3, 1909.
The prince was married to Princess
Sadako. daughter OF Prince Kujo
Michitaka, on May 10, 1900.

DISAPPEARANCE OF UNIFORM
WORRIES STAID BERLINERS
Modern Business Duties" of Soldiers Drives Roman.
tic Side of Profession Out

Berlin, March 23.-Old-time Berliners
are lsmeRting the gradual disappearance
OF the military uniform from the streets.
A quarter Of a century ago more officers
and soldiers in uniform were to be met
with In the principal thoroughfare than
civilians, while now, though the Berlin
garrison is far larger, the presence OF the
uniform is hardly noticeable. Formerly,
moreover, practically all military duties
were over and done with by noon; now
adays, in consequence Of the ever-in-
creasing demands made on the soldier by
modern requirements, there is hardly an
hour In the day time when officers and
soldiers are unoccupied.
Another reason for the disappearance
Of the uniform is the increased wearing
Of civil" notwithstanding the fact that
only soldiers on leave, out hunting, or
with special permission are supposed ever
TO lay aside the kings Cloth" For this
the growth OF sports like tennis. racing,
football. rowing, and hockey is partially
responsible. but the main cause is the
increased cost OF living. Tradition and
custom require that the officer in uniform
shall only frequent the best restaurants,
occupy the parquet in the theater, and
in general spend money. like a gentle
man. Few officers possess private means,
while the pay Of all ranks is of the most
modest character. and the result is that,
If the officer or soldier is to have any
enjoyment or recreation in the capital,
he can nave it only by clothing himself
like the ordinary citizen who can suit
his expenditure TO his means. The regu-
lations still forbid the use Of multi with
out permission. but superior officers are
wonderfully shortsighted about noticing
when the regulations are broken.
