Although the witnesses did not specify who signed the massacre order, he testified that Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita, Japanese commander in the Philippines in 1914 and 1945, rejected all pleas for its retraction with:
 The order already has been given. I'm sorry, but war is war"
 One in Know Testifies
 The most damning evidence so far in the week-long trial of Yamashita for his life for the slaughter of thousands of civilians during the battle of Manila last February, came from the private secretary of the Filipino Revolutionary, General Ricarte.
 Yamashita listened to a transla- ton Of the testimony with a sickly grin on his face.
 The secretary, who identified him. self only as Lspuz, testified that Ricarte twice personally pleaded with Yamasllita to halt the plum dering and murder in Manila on the grounds that it was inhuman.
 Ricarte returned from the final conference almost in tears and said Yamashita was convinced Filipinos were anti-Japanese and therefore enemies of Japan who should be wiped out as part of Japans over all strategy.
