P.)— The forthcoming vt of the Jananecs crown prince -to England has behifd it a “court intrigne.” The case is dediar- ed'to form one of the most extraordinany incidents in - the. dynastic Mstory of the empire. 7 3 Alegations have been ‘made to iie of- fc a that the real reason for the Vit ab..ad-of Crown Primce Hirohito is due to intrigue within the court . to bfing about a cancellation of the betrothal of the crown prince to the Princess Nagako, daughter of General Prince Kumi. The household department has issued an of- fistal statement to the effect that. “ru- mors seem 0 be current” concerning the engagement of the crown prince to Prin- cess. Nugako, but. that ‘the nation should understand that no change whatsoever i3 contemplated concerning the / marriage cortract, as ajready informally settied. “With a view to removing doubts and uneasy feelings on the part of the peo- ple.* the home, department has issued a similar ¢communication. This commmunica- tion adds that Paron Nakamura, minister of the househoid, has-decied to resign. It is. reported a'so that Mr. Ishiwara, viee minisier of the ‘household, will retire. The making public the officel communi- cations ywas followed by & visit of Prince Kuni to' the' emperor ‘and empress. The newsnapers charge -an intrigue to annul the betrothal of the crown prinze and PrincessNagako while Hirohito is abroad was launched by Barcn Nekamu- ra and in that he is supported by Fieid Marshal Yamagata,' one, of the elder It appears .that several dis- tinguished parliamentarians recently wrote Yamagata accusing him of inter- ference.in the jove affair, and that they. subsequently sent circulars to all the im- perial princes. ‘According to -the Nichi Nich, Field Marshal Yamagata has decided to retire from the presidence of the privy council and to give up his gemeralship as a re- fut: of the incident, boldi g ~himself respopeible for the. “grave affair.” ‘As vet mystery surrounds the-suat ton! feuts' the Wiperial louseho the uthori- ties are.declifiing to discuss 't The Jépanese newspapers. howgver, dc, fiot esitate to' characterize It as af .n- trgue.” 3 Today was * the annivarsary of “thi accension to the throny of Japan's first goeror, Jismu.

Although Munich despatches srated that Von Kanhrs min- istry would request tire central'govern- menit to abetmin from making the note public, an offical of the Berlin forsign office asserted that the comtents of the note were not mlculsted to bring about compications. : The Bavarian request, i was said, was prompted by the desire to spare Da.

The problem promises to become one of the most com{plex the Berlin cabinet has yet had to contend with, inasmuch as 't invoives in great measure.the righ:s of Vavaria as one of the federated states, and alo becauss it will call for the co- operation of the central goviiament ~f- ficials and the local Fawarian aufhorities in the compiicateu task of gathering up the arms smttered throughout Beavaria.

The co-operation extended to this in- vestigation by attaches of Former Gov- ernor Whitman in his investigation ef municipal corruption in New York is ae- cepled here as proof that the murder of Frederick Eckert last A‘:nst on Staten Island is linked with the deaths of Frank Walsh, ‘who was killed in whiskey rob- bery, and ‘the shooting of ‘Albert Alterio, a merchant, Thursday night in' New York. These murders were safd to have been a part of the plot of whiskey ban- dits, who have robbed trucks, warehouses and freight trains of liquor during re- cent months, to remove witnesses who might testify against them. . ‘- The autopsics heid on the bodies ~of ‘Waleh and Leo Salamandra, both killed in the Lincoln Highway hold-up, showed that each died from: the effects of a soft- nose 38 calibre ballet, which appeared to have been fired frem the same gun.

Through their testimony the police hope to clear up the ownership of the car found ‘in a wrecked condition here a few hours after the hold-up. This car is believed 1o have furnished the means of escape of several of the ban- dits. OPERATIONS AGAINST CROWN FORCES IN IRELAND INCREASE Dublin, Feb. 13.—An ‘increase in the operations agaipst the crown forces as forecast In a recent statement made to The Associated Press by a high officer of the Irish republican army, has been noted during the past week.

One of .the reports em- anated from Ballaghadercen, the home town of ~ John Dillon. At Macroom, which since the Kilmichael ambush has been occupied by large forces of auxil- iaries, a fusiltade was fired and three bombs fwere thrown. Another example of daring displayed by members of the Irish republfean forceg was an attack at Carrickmacross, County Monaghan, on a patrol of ten po- licemen, within a few yards of their bar- racks. — e TRAIN IN SNOWDRIFTS TWENTY FEET HIGH St. John's, N.

Grave international problems, the future of American foreign trade, the friendly or uniriendly relation of the United States to many of the nations of the world, as well as a host of internal problems are shown by Miss Kellor 10 be in- volyed in the determination of our national immigration ‘policy. Burope Holding Its Nationals While America is failing to give adeguate consideration!to the ques- tions. involved in the movement of aliens: to - her shores, European countgies are not ignoring their-own interests as affected by movement abroad of their nationals. Accord- ing to Miss Kellor's book, these nations are even mow planning to tie their emigrants permanmently to the home land by graating them a voice in home affairs whether they become naturalized here or not. What is America ‘going' to do about that? inguires the writer. Other pertiment qoestions raise by the book are: Will American employers of labor continue to re- gard our immigranf population only as_so much cheap man-power, or will they take the trouble to dis- cover its other and more valuable economic clements, such as love of industry, special mechanical skill, habits of thrift, and ambition for greater productive power and fam- ily. advancement? Will American business try to build up a great trade with Yoreign countries while considering beneath its notice a market of 15,000,000 foreign-born people in her midst and growing at the rate of a million a year?
