PRINCE YAMAGATA
Of JAPAN EXPIRES
Field Marshal Was One oil
Few Remaining ''Genro,"
or Elder Statesmen.

LONDON, February Field Mar
shal Prince Yamaga one of the few
remaining of Japan's "genro." or elder
statesmen. died at his home in Oda-
wara today, says an Exchange Tele-
graph dispatch from Toxic He was
in his eighty-fourth year.
AS member of the Senro. Prince
1amagata was one of the personal
advisers of the throne and he welded
special power because it was he who
built up and became a supreme head
or the Japanese army as it is known
today. He was frequently called the
Japanese Moltke.
Prince iamagata maintained an at
tltude of friendship toward America
In a letter written to Poultney
BiGelow. in 1921. he appealed to
American leaders in thought and af-
fairs for hearty cooperation with
the leading men on this side of the
racine (the far eaSt) for the restora-
tion of the traditional friendship be-
tween the two nations" He declared
that Japans fixed policy was to
maintain the most cordial relations
with America and that he was con-
WINGED that the problems arising be
tween the two countries We're all
amenable to amcable adjustment if
the leaders of both sides sincerely
endeavored to understand them and
applied to their solution sound sense
and broad craftsmanship.
Denies Reports of Scheming.
He denied that Japan was "schem-
ing to become a law unto herself or
playing the rule of an overload in
the management of far eastern af-
fairs. and declared that his country
entertained no such ambitions.
Concerning Japan's actions in ST.
IBERIA and Shantung. he asserted that
these may have given occasion to
misinterpretation, but that the time
was near at hand when such mis-
understanding will be swept away
when the world will appreciate that
Japan never entertained sinister am
bitIonS in these quarters" The
prince characterized the misunder-
standings between America and ia
pan .'as only passing symptoms, GER
tain to disappear before reason and
sanity"

to alcohol and lifelong examples of intem-
