NEEDS K0
OUTSIDE
HELP
Washington, March 10. Japan's
determination to take care, without
l outside assistance, of the suffering
and distress caused by the Ktcent
earthquake was evident today in offi
cial advices reaching the state and
war departments. A tender of war
department aid was made by Secre-
;tiry Davis as poon as word of the dis
aster had reached him. Tbe Japanese
minister or .war expressed apprecia
tion, but informed Col. Charles Bur
nett. American military attache in
Tokyo, that due to the restricted area
of the earthquake and the amount of
(hi mage done, "local authorities are
able to handle the situation."
Meanwhile Ambassador MacVeagh
had similarly offered such aid as the
y """"M"" vermneni or cue bm-
ingtou government or tbe American
-Red Cruse might be able to give. Mr.
Macveagh was told, however, that
while Japan wat very grateful for the
ofers the foreign minister believed
hir, government could take cure of the
matter "wlthot or.tcide assistance."
