Editor Points Out That Cart Is Really
Gun Carriage.

NEW YORK, August 9.-A letter of
explanation about recent cartoon Of
the Emperor of Japan was sent yes
terday by Frank CroWninshield. editor
Of Vanity Fair, to the Japanese Am
baSSador, HiroSi Saito. in Washington
Crowinshield's letter expressed re-
gret that the cartoon published by
Vanity Fair had given offense to the
Japanese people. The drawing showed
the emperor pulling the Nobel Peace
Prize in cart.
Il particularly regret" wrote
Crowinshield. that because of a mis-
conception on the part of the Japanese
readers We were supposed to have por-
trayed the emperor in the act of
drawing a rickSha, obviously menial
occupation.
But I think that if you, yourself
will look at the drawing you will
see that our readers could have de-
rived no such an idea, as the wagon
is obviously that of a military carriage
At any rate, it was so intended, and
appears so in the drawing"
