A NATION INSANE.
■ THE NIKOLAIEVSK MASSACRE. TOKIO. June 14. / Broad attempts are proceeding to ■crystallise Japanese popular opinion over the Nikolaievsk massacre, lurid accounts of which from special correspondents are features in the Press. Hundreds of thousands of pamphlets describing the event have been circulated by unti-Government parties, who are utilising the affair to discredit the .Cabinet. Public meetings have been called and .'memorial services ; planned. : The Press is more inclined to blame j their own Government than the JBol- ■ eheviks, regarding Russia as a nation insane. (A message received from Tokio on June 11 stated that there wasnob a single Japanese survivor found at Nikolaievsk, near the mouth of the .Amur. Siberia*- when Japanese troops entered a week earlier after driving out the Reds. Eight hundred soldiers *«n d' civilians were wiped out. Ac- ‘ cording to a naval communique, those surviving the first massacre were slaughtered on May 25.)
