quietly. You've got to respect his

PLAN VISIT TO u. S.
BY JAPANESE PRINCE
Leaders Would Have Hichibu va
suhito Bring Thanks for
Earthquake Aid.

Japan's appreciation OF the SYM
pathy and aid of the United States,
following the earthquake last fall.
may be expressed in person by Prince
Hichibu Yasuhito. second son Of the
emperor now about tw!enty-one years
nf age. He is a graduate Of the
Japanese Military Academy, and holds
the rank of lieutenant in the army.
He is an enthusiast in athletics, and
is honorary president OF the oriental
olympic committee.
Plans are under consideration by
the imperial household of Japan and
the Japanese cabinet to send the
popular young prince to this coun-
try on a warship, as the special en-
voy of the emperor. 1t is pointed out
that only once before has the son
of the reigning monarch left Japan
10 visit y foreign country. Japan
IS having an election May 10, and
until that is over, no plans for the
princes visit will be announced.
1t is understood, however, that the
tentative plan calls for the princes
party to land at New York city,
cross the United States and depart
homeward from San Francisco.
