JAPANESE AWAIT ACTION.
A dispatch from the Toxic CORE
spopdent Of the Times says the gen
era1 feeling in japan is that. while the
nsfion Is most anxious to take the most
lenient view possible Of the San Fran
cisco incident, il cannot dinerentiate
between one section OF the American
people and another. Therefore, unless
some remedial measure is applied. the
warm friendship of the japanese for
the United States will suffer shock
Another dispatch from Toxic pro-
tests against the sensational misrep-
resentstion Of the actual state Of Jap
anese feeling regarding the shutting
schools Of san Francisco. He says it
is true that the japanese are pained at
the occurrence, but that they are SEN
sible enough to realize that California
is not the United States, and that the
episode is isolated and distinctly local
The Jill Shimpo, according to the cor
respondents dispatch, even goes 20 far
as to contend that the japanese in san
Francisco are themselves partly to
blame. on the ground that they do not
assimilate American ways and Gus
toms.
TOXIC, Oct. 27.-The allegation that
Z the retirement OF Afidshipman Asahi
s>fIitagiki from the Naval Academy at

avoided anything likely to provoke the
United States.
