Prince Hirohito, eldest son of the Mikado, who has been acting as Regent since November 25, 1921, owing to his father's ill-health, will marry Princess Nagako Kuni in October.

The Japan Advertiser: "New court honors will be conferred and the ranks of many already honored will be raised in commemoration of the marriage of the Prince Regent and Princess Nagako Kuni. An Imperial order authorizing the distribution of honors has been issued by the Imperial Household Department. Investigation is now under way to determine those to whom such honors are due."

It is further reported that the Imperial amnesty will be granted to certain prisoners in keeping with the spirit of good will attending this important Imperial event.

The Prince Regent, 22 years of age, and popular, is the heir apparent of a dynasty which, according to the Japanese, was founded by the first Emperor, Jimmu Tenno, in 660 B. C.
