Long columns in the mewspapers tell of a profusion of Ja@anese regrets, of their aid to the gurvivors, and of promises of reparation. A couple of big sore thumbs stick up amid this soothing welter of Nipponese suavity. A Japanese admiral admitted that both the government and tne fliers who committed the outrage were aware that there were American and other foreign vessels in the vicinity under attack.In the face of this fact, we hhave the damning admission of the senior officer of the offensive, Colnel Hasimoto, who admitted that he had orders ‘‘to fire on every ship in the river.’’ Testimony of the Panay survivors indicates that Japanese river boats attacked the Panay with maciine gun fire from near the shore while the American flag was in plain on mass attack on the river traffic even though they were aware of tihe presence of the foreign boats in the area. An the case of the Panay, it seems likely that at least some of the attackers were actually aware of her identity as an American gunboat. ~ Tihe Nipponese were very prompt indeed with their: apologies.

The proud little Orientals find the President’s request that the emperor himself be informed, a very bitter pili to swallow. In Japan, the emperor has the position of a demi-god. He is held aloof from politics and foreign relations. He is, however, the supreme head of the army and navy. President Roosevelt requested that the emperor be notified over the heads of the actual military authorities because he rightly believed that the Japanese militarists were not. sufficiently responsible and should be called to answer by the highest authority.
