Japanese Officer and Men to Be Court-Martialled Tokyo, Feb. 1.
Mr. Joseph Grew, United States Ambassador to Japan, to-day visited Mr. K. Horinouchi, Japanese Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs, and communicated the Department of State acceptance of Japan's apology for the behaviour of a Japanese sentry in Nanking toward Mr. John M. Allison, Third Secretary in charge of the American Embassy in Nanking.
Departing from their previous silence in these matters, the vernal cular papers to-day mentioned the Foreign Office's promise that the Japanese sentry who slapped Mr. J.
would be punished.—United Press.
