THE PASSING VETERANS

So rapidly are the veterans of the Civil
War passing from the earthly scene that
the number of survivors on any given date
is difficult to determine. with accuracy
This is illustrated by the last quarter

concerning Confederate pensioners, Of
whom only 126 remained in the entire
state. Three months earlier the number had
been al, the death in the meantime being
Is.
Next April it will be rs years since
the struggle of the Sixties began, and II
years since its end, therefore few veterans
of either side are under go years of age
While the Union armies consisted of more
than 100000 men, the Confederates num-
bered not more than 900, 900, according to
the best estimates.
It is believed that all honorably dis
charged survivors of both armies are now
on pension rolls, and pensions for Confed-
crate veterans being paid by the several
states of the South.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The
Japanee bombing of the Ameri-

2. To get satisfactory guarantee
that the promise will be kept,
come what may. 4shan
Diplomatically, the first is easy.
The japanese have already apol-
ogized for serious military er-
ror.
But getting the guarantee is
something else again.
Two Defenses
The trouble here is three-fold:
1. There are bound to be mis-
takes in any zone of hostilities,
even though a war has not been
declared.
2. The japanese need to prove
to the Chinese that Japan, and
not the western nations, holds the
whip hand in the Far East.
8. Carelessness with foreigners
and their flags is one way of dem
onstrating that power, although
the. Japanese have not indicated
that they plan to use this meth
