While Hallowe'en hood- lumism and disorder got out of all , r e a s 0 n a b 1 e bounds last night and damage that was done w a s completely unwarranted and far beyond the realm of innocent sea- the authority of the police was challenged by young girls and boys who, evi dently, listenedlo and Jap- i i aiiestWt raid .over, hosXnsJlM, .Ufr.0fer onp icm is to gain headway that authority was flouted in this manner, it is something to be greatly deplored. Meanwhile, a moot question of discussion today is which is the proper way to handle parallel situations such as those which occurred in Prince Rupert and Toronto. In Prince Rupert the young people stormed the police station and,' o s s i b 1 y in their opinion, won their point. In Toront6 the police used tear gas and fire hoses and broke the gang up without yielding. In justice to the police, it was no doubt a case of being damned -whichever course they took. Meantime, there is also a teeling among many that if there had been proper exercise of paren tal authority over the thoughtless, if not irres ponsible boys and girrs who participated in last nights roistering and rioting, the trouble might not have arisen. The mayor looks upon the matter seriously enough to address the parents publicly tonight. He will, no doubt, speak appropriately and it is to be hoped what he has to say will be listened to and heeded. It was too bad that, after the trying years of war, our own young oeople should have given us the worst Hallowe'en ive haVe ever had.

Activities at each bonfire were controlled by groups of Kinsmen who labored diligently and successfully to maintain a high degree of Interest.

Horrible Tales Of Atrocities MANILA, Nov. 1 P' Witnesses at the war criminal trial of Lieutenant General Yamashlta continued through the fourth day today with recitals of atrocity, slaughter and rape committed by troops commanded by the one-time "Tiger of Malaya" and the supreme Japanese commander of the Philippines during the enemy occupation. Mrs. Rasarla Yulo told of being ln a home where more than 100 civilian men, women and children were shot and burned. When the Japanese found they could not hold Manila, they ran wild indiscriminately killing and-torturing men, women and children. Major General Valdes, Philippines chief of state told the military commission t r y 1 h s Yamashlta that he found half-cremated bodies ' of his older brother and also his nephew In a pit filled wlthdecomposlng hu man flesh. Meanwhile the defence has Indicated that It will seek to prove that those who fought the Japanese after the surrender of Cor-regldor could be considered war criminals and the Japanew occupying Manila found themselves ln a situation where any and ah civilians might be guerrillas in disguise. 1 i ( i 4 I. !
