the emperor and do certain legisla- tive work. Later, with the adoption of the Constitution and the establish ment of the bureaucratic government, they became advisers to the throne and dictators of the bureaucracy. The four factors in the government have been the emperor, the Genro, the clans and the bureaucracy. From the Satsuma and Shoshu clans the Genro have come, and their control of these two powerful sectional organizations of the country led to the growth of their influence.
 In many ways the service of Yama- gata and the others to this country is inestimable, but it has meant con- tinual building up of the miltarist pol icy-more battleships and larger army, more power on land and on the sea and an extension of the power of the Land of the Rising Sun to parts and places where concessions were desired. The naval agreement of the Washington Conference showed a re- versal in policy to some extent, an awakening to the fact that Japan could not go on as she was.
 GROWING CRY FOR RELIEF
 This change must be attributed partly to the growing cry over the country for a reduction of armaments and relief from the burden of taxation, however. And this cry is continuing. In the Diet now the government pol icy is being attacked day after day by opposition, and sooner or later further economies and a reduction of the land forces will come.
 Yamagata's death will give impetus to the movement. The two aged Genro will continue to advise during the rest of their lives, but it will hardly be possible to take new men into their ranks and build up another body to dictate as the Elder States men have in the past. The result must be, then, growth of the power of the Cabinet and the Diet-all, of course, with consent of the emperor and the development of party govern ment political parties.

Japan and the mass of the people, too, have in recent months more than ever awakened to the fact that they have been paying the fiddler while Japan's army and navy have been dancing, see in the death of Marshal Prince Yamagata a chance for more en- frightened regime in this country, the end of the dictatorship of the Genro, who have made and unmade Cabinets at will since the constitutional govern ment was established, and an end of the all-powerful militarists.
 Six men can be said to have been in the ranks of these Elder Statesmen, although others are often listed as Genro rather than the henchmen that they were Now two remain-Mar- quis Masayoshi Matsukata, twice pre- mier and now Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal, and Prince Kimmochi Sai- onji, also twice premier, who was urged by Prince Yamagata to head a new cabinet following the recent as- sassination of Premier Hara.
 Marquis Matsukata, a samaurai at the time of the restoration of the throne of Emperor Meiji, soon en- tered activity into politics, occupy ing cabinet positions at intervals from the reorganization of the government in 1900, since when he has been active in the Privy Council and as an adviser to the emperor He succeeds Yama- gata to the leadership of the Elder Statesmen by merit of seniority and significance of past service. Yet hls influence among men upon whose shoulders active government Of the country must fall in meager-he mas neither the personality nor the power to command possessed by his prede- cessor. His advanced years are to his disadvantage, too, for he is three years older than Yamagata was at the time of his death.
 PRINCE sAloNJi POWERFUL
 Prince Saionji, while eighty-three years old, is comparatively young Tn the ranks of the Genro. His inclu- sion has come in recent years, after he had distinguished himself in diplo- matic service in the early days abroad and after he had served Yamagata faithfully in the governmen nere. His influence, probably due to more recent active participation in affairs, is much greater than that of Matsu- kata, and in case the Genro are to make an attempt now to maintain the power they have exercised for so many years it will be Saionji whose word win command.
 Prince Ito, maker of the Constltu- ton, author of the Sino-Japanese war and other drastic action and the great est statesman that Japan has ever produced, who was staunch bel1eV- CT in the German imperialistic system, and Yamagata have since the days of fighting that ended in the restoration been two of the leading figures in Japan.
 To them, especially to Ito, goes most of the bureaucratic government, and to them goes the credit for the re- markable progress that Japan has made since the opening of the coun- try and the restoration. Ito, the lead CT of the Elder Statesmen, was assas- sinated in 1909, and since that time it has been Yamagata who advised the Emperor and commanded his subjects.
 WORD HAS BEEN LAW

the thought that the increase in

but prevails with regard to every

There is, however, one sanguine
