ABide f'rom the objeot101la which ariee f'rom the barbarous and shocldng nature ot these trophies, there are other serious ob- · jectiona to this pract ice, If' the alrulla are in raot thoae or member s or the Japanaee armed aarvioee, th1a practice consti­tutes a violation of' an obligation to &f'f'ord a decent burial to ene~~cy" dead. ll'urthe:rmore, there 1e grave danser of' Japaneae retal:tation.
