WARRIOR PRINCESS
FIRST ON THE GREAT WALL PEKING, March 5, Princess Yosikokawashima —daughter of a Manchu prince and a Japanese mother —led 2000 cheering Manchukuo cavalry in pursuit of Chinese troops to-day. She crowned her picturesque career by a brilliant display of bravery at Lb’kmv and Kupoikow, where she rallied a momentarily faltering command. It was her privilege to plant the Japanese-Manchukuo flag on top of the G reat Wall. The princess first received her baptism of fire at Shanghai, where she acted as intelligence officer on the staff of General Shirakawa, who was killed by a bomb.
