bringing my nation to such a mis-
cradle state of affairs.
"It grieves my heart when I think
OF the surviving families of our men
who died on battlefields.
Il, therefore, have decided to seek
DEATH"
The letter, addressed to his secre-
tary, Kawamura, said it was Honjo's
desire that his eldest son, Kazou,
not succeed to his title of baron.
HOMO performed the ceremonial
disembowelment in the regular and
respectable" manner, said Maj. Gen.
Matsutoshi Miyano Of the demobil-
lied soldiers general bureau. "He
knelt and died facing the Imperial
Palace"
Miyano met HOMO shortly after
his arrival at the Office this morn
Evening star., 1945-11-20

ing and offered his regrets that the
general had been named on Gen.
MacArthur's list. He said HOMO
replied he had expected the action.
There was nothing out of the
ordinary in his actions or his speech,
and I had no indication he soon
would lie dead in his Office" Miyano
related.
When found by his secretary,
HOMO was on the carpet between
his desk and the windows OF the
small square office," the general
continued.
"He had seated himself cross
legged facing the Imperial Palace.
He had drawn a dagger about IL
inches across the abdomen from
left to right. He then withdrew the
dagger and used it on his throat to
slash the jugular vein. The body
then slumped forward to the carpet
with the dagger slightly visible"
Read Of Order This Morning.
HOMO, who was serving as presi-
dent Of the organization for relief
of demobilized soldiers, had gone to
his Office as usual, although the or
ganization had been ordered abol-
ished by Gen. Macarthur.
The 69-year -old Honjo's eldest
son told Kyodo news agency that
his father learned of the arrest
order only when he read a morning
newspaper and feared he would be
tried as war criminal.
upon reading 1t, he felt full re-
sponsibility," the son said. He told
us he would 60 to court and express
his beliefs, then take whatever re-
sponsibility fell on him. There were
no signs that he contemplated
suicide"
Honjos Tokyo home burned in a
May rs air raid. The general since
had lived in an air raid shelter in
his garden. His son quoted him as
remarking, I'm old now and can do
nothing for my country. It's up to
the young fellows"
Most of Honjo's military career
was devoted to the Kwantung Army
push northward along the Asiatic
continent. He served as captain in
the Russo-Japanese War and later
as regimental commander in the
Siberian occupation.
Preceding the Manchurian i'm
perialism, he was adviser to War
Lord Chang Tso-lin from 1921 to
1928. Subsequently he served in
North China and other continental
commands until he became COM
mander of the Kwantung Army in
1881 with the rank OF lieutenant
general.
The Manchurian incident ex-
ploded under his command and he
was considered the major plannel
and executor of the entire imperial
istic scheme which was conducted
independent of Tokyo.
Gen. Jiro Minami, once known as
the brains of the militaristic clique
told the Associated Press he was not
advised in advance by HOMO of the
Manchurian action although he
(MinamD was war minister at the
time.
After leaving the Kwantunp
command, HOMO became chief aide
de camp to the Emperor and was
created a baron. He received the
nations highest decoration in 1895
He retired from his aides position
and from active military service in
1885.
However, he reappeared in 1914 in
connection with the Imperial Rule
Assistance Association, totalitarian
control scheme originated and per-
fected by the Kwantung war lords
