Paris, June 2.
The Jaépanese Crown Prince, who was accompanied by Viscount Ishii, Japanese Ambassador, this morning laid a wreath on the grave of the "Unknown warrior" at the Are de Triomphe. The wreath bore the inscription To an unknown sold'er—a pious souvenir." In the course of an eloquent address, His Imperial Highness referrit as "a token of homage and admiration from the whole "The French soldier," he said, "not only served the sacred cause of national defence, but also cham-piened the ideal of peace and justice, which, passing beyond frontiers, was intended in_ his mind to spread to all parts of the world. Japan could not resist such a strong flame, for she is also a centre where patriotic feeling and respect for justice are combined in equal degree.
"Thus the two nations fought for a common cause; but, in order not to render vain the immense sacrifice which this grave symbolizes in its touching simplicity, peace must be assured—a peace which will unite under equitable laws the nations, now better informed of their duties, and less exacting of their rights."
The "Temps," commenting on the Crown Prince's visit, re marks: Japan has before her a mission, the importance of which is now being realized, provided she is content to rule the waters that surround her, and does not succumb to the temptation to embark on the mighty ocean."
This afternoon Prince Hirohito visited the Eiffel Tower, and inspected the wireless installation there.—Reuter.
