Lungs Always Weak.

While Yoshihito was still child the
court physicians observed that his
lungs were weak, and while he was
still the crown prince came many re
ports to the effect that he might not
live to occupy the throne.
Yoshihito's accession to the throne of
Japan took place July 80, 1912, but the
formal coronation ceremonies were
postponed until the official term of
court mourning for the Emperor Nut
suhito should end, late in 1913.
Yoshihito Haruuomiya, the one hun
bred and twenty-third male successor to
the imperial throne of Japan, was born
Aug. 81, 1879. On his eighth birthday
he was nominated heir apparent, be-
ing the third son of the Princess Yani-
gawara, one of the eight princesses of
noble blood who became members of
was seen that no heir was to be eX-
pected of Princess Haruko, Matsu
hitos wife and empress.
The two elder brothers Of Yoshihito
died soon after birth.
On being nominated heir apparent
Yoshihito received the decoration of
the Grand Order of Merit and com
mission as a colonel in the Imperial
Royal guards. His education was Sc
cured at the school for members of the
imperial family at Tokyo and com
prised modern training as well as that
of the old Japanese studies, including
English, French and German.
In 1900 he married Princess Sada, his
cousin. a daughter of Prince Kujo
Her family is one of the oldest in the
empire and is easily traced back to $50
A. ID.
The first of the imperial couples
three children-the Princes Mich, Atsu
and Teru-was the first son to have
been born either to an empress or a
crown princess of Japan in many gen
erations.
Upon being elevated to the throne
the Emperor Yoshihito began upsetting
traditions and breaking presidents

Their first knowledge of the emperor's
illness was conveyed by an official
bulletin.
The bulletin, signed by eight of the
court physicians, was in these terms:
"The emperor, who had been suffer

This announcement came as a great
shock to the loyal inhabitants of the
capital, who had known only that his
majesty caught a slight cold while at
tending a military review at Aoyama

All of the papers of Tokyo issued ex-

devoted to brief recapitulations of the

The report shows that total Of 723
heroes and heroines have been idend-
fed, proved and honored by the com
mission since its foundation. These
noble brave were of all ages, ranging
from tenderest childhood to venerable
persons nearing the limit of life.
They come from nearly all the races

of the deeds of hcroism We're in the

Perhaps the most remarkable in
