By Telegraph-Press Association-Copyright
(Rec. June 20, 5.5 p.m.)
London, June 19. The Tokio correspondent of the "Daiiy Express" states that the cry for vengeance for tho massacre at Nikolaievsk is sweeping Japan. .< Public feeling is rising with the fresh details that are furnished daily. The newspapers declare that the massacre surpassed the Lusitania horror and they demand retribution.
It appears that when the Bolsheviks entered the town the Japanese detachment there and residents sought refuge in the Consulate, which the enemy's artillery set on fire. Eventually tho only Burvivora of the bombardment were the Consul-General, his wife, two children and the Japanese commander. As escape was impossible, all donned their best dress according to tho Japanese custom. Then the Consul shot his wife and children, and the Consul and commander stabbed each other after Samurai fashion.
A Jiational memorial service is being held, also a special session of Parlia-ment.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
