self, for there was no one else present.
Not knowing anything about it he
couldn't answer it. He could only
guess and his guess was that that bee
had made q mistake and presently
would find this out. He was more
than ever convinced that home seeking
bees do not always fly in straight
line.
"She certainly wasn't going some
where else for more supplies for she
had all she could carry, so she must
have made mistake in direction and
started off the wrong way. Probably
she has found out her mistake by this
time" thought Peter.
But it was Peter, not Busy Bee,
who was mistaken.

Many Assurances
"Since the beginning of the pres
ent unfortunate hostilitieS between
Japan and China, the Japanese gov
ernment and various japanese au-
thorities at various points have re-
Ipeatedly assured the government
and authorities of the United States
that. it is the intention and the
purpose of the japanese govern
ment and the japanese armed forces
to respect fully the rights and in
terests of other powers.
"On several occasions, however,
acts of japanese armed forces have
violated the rights of the United
States, have seriously endangered
the lives of American nationals, and
have destroyed American property.
In several instances, the japanese
government has admitted the facts,
has expressed regrets, and has given
assurance that every precaution will
be taken against recurrence of such
incidents.
I'm the present case, acts of
japanese armed forces have taken
place in complete disregard of
American rights, have taken life
and have destroyed American prop
erty both public and private.
I'm these circumstances, the gov
ernment of the United States re-
quests and expects of the japanese
government formally recorded ex-
preston of regret, an undertaking
to make complete and comprehen-
sive idemnifications; and an assur-
ance that definite and specific steps
have been taken which will insure
that hereafter American nationals,
interests and property in China will
not be subjected to attack by Japa-

ference by any Japanese authority
