THE JAPS "CIVILIZE" NANKING

The world has heard about Tokyo's celebration
of. the capture of Marking but few details are
available about the misbehavior of Japanese SOL
diers ''who ran amuck, wantonly Staying hundreds
of disarmed prisoners of war and civilian men,
women and children"
The quotation is from a dispatch to The New
York Times written by Halett Abend, who was at
Shanghai He says the shocking misconduct of
the soldiers created "chaos of ooting, raping and
killing amounting to national disgrace"
Mr. Abend says that the Japanese have long
been intensely proud of the army's reputation for
valor and chivalry but that their soldiers Subject
ed Marking to treatment even worse than that
which Chinese bandit hordes infct upon captured
towns"
He says Japanese civilian authorities realize and
ruefully admit the truth of reports, telling Of
atrocities of all kinds which reached an I'M
printable erescendo" before the command began
attempts to restore discipline and decency" They
"admit with dismay that conditions in many re-
speets have been ever worse than the world yet
realizes" and that Japan win always regret the APP
palling elimination of the Marking campaign.
Such a revelation is not news to those familiar
with war. The dismay of responsible Japanese
authorities is, of course, to their credit but 1t
hardly helps the victims of ruthless invaders. The
situation was 50 bad according to Mr. .Abend that
the worry of the high command over the Panay
'deepened into horror and shame" when they
