PURE NONSENSE
An Alleged Japanese Discourtesy
Easily Disposed of


WASHINGTON, July 29-There was
some comment here over statements
said to have been made in a report to the
navy department by Admiral McNair,
commanding the flagship Olympia at
Yokohama, that not one of the numerous.
Japanese vessels in the harbor dressed
ship on the Fourth of July, although
both British and French flagship OBJ
served the day by duplicating every Incl
dent of the celebration of the day by
the Olympia. 1t is asserted in the came
connection that this lack of courtesy to
the American national holiday was a
deliberate and premeditated insult to the
United States by the Japanese, and it had
the tacit sanction Of the Japanese gov
ernment.
There is nothing in the report that
there were any Japanese ships of war
i'm the harbor of Yokohama on the occa-
sion referred to. The construction put
on the apparent lack of courtesy by the
Japanese vessels is ridiculed by Admiral
Crowninshield. He characterized it as
pure nonsense and declared there was no
ground for any such assumption.

mercial port, and there was no particular
reason why warships should be there"
He had been in ports where there was
no warship and he pointed out that there
are many ports in the United States
where there are none. There was no
particular reason why merchant vessels
should be aware that the flagship wae to
