Tin- gullibility of the Coreans Is nl
mo,t incredible. When the Salvation

Ntandiuds with tiemondous enthusiasm.
Their expatriates overseas sent word
that the Salvation Army had arrived to
free the people. When Its real mission
was understood their ardor eooleil.
When news of President Wilson's Jour
neys to lluropo was so mueh In the pub
lic print along with the publication of
now airplane records and exploits,
tlxso same expatriates sent word to
Corea, nt the same time appealing for
moro money, that the President was go

know what lias been done for their

,of some of them, too, for they tell their
people nt homo such glowing tales of
their work abtoad that they are main
tained In what is to thorn luxury and
this obviates the necessity for them to
work. The other thing which nun's tit-
trouble is the idleness of Hie Corean
people In winter.
"Coram homes are heated with a flrn

The agitation grows less every year, be

It Is most unfortunate for the
Coreans as well as for us that teports
aie sent out from Corea as they are.
When some Coreans were killed by Jap
anese soldiers at Sulghen the report
which went lo America said tint as a
part of tho Japanese piogramine of
stamping out Christianity in Corea our
soldiers ami gendaimes enteied the
church and killed twenty-seven Corcnn
Christians. As a matter of f.u't, no
effort has ever been made to stamp out
Christianity In Corea since we have
hail an thing to do with the govern
mcnt, and what actually happened in ,
Sulghen was this :
"A crowd of Coreans gathered in
front of the church and held i sort of
political meeting. When thej -"hooted
'.Mansel', the Corcan cry of independ
ence, Japanese policemen, two uf them,
attempted to disperse the ciowd. The
Coreans then stoned the polite to death
and continued to throw stones rt 'hem
until their bodies were terribly muti
lated. Just as they wete finishing their
brutality some Japanese soldiers and
gendarmes came along in the "ourse of
their march to Seoul. These men weir
accompanied only hy sulsirdlnate otll
cers, and when they saw what had hap
pened to their countrymen they lushed
to wreak vengeance upon the perpetra
tors of the crime. The Coreans (led
Into the church, shouting that It was
lorelgn property and telling our piople
that they could not touch them there.

"However, our soldiers, acting very
wickedly wc admit, went into the church
and drove the Coreans out. Twenty

burned and some homes .of the stono

were shocked to learn that tho report
was true.
"Then we did everything in our power
to make amends. We gave the mission-
aries money to rebuild the church:
rebuilt the destroyed home ; wo gave I
money to every Corean family which
suffered the loss of a husband, brother i
or son, we gave every such suffcrir nj
most generous allowance of lice to last ,
until the new crop could be harvested, i
and we gave these same people finest
seed from our experimental farms for
the new planting. Of course, we pun
ished the gendarmes and soldiers who
I were guilty. In otlicial circles we did
not know what an unfair repoit or tne

"We have had a hard struggle here
In Chosen to convince the Coreans that
wo had not come hero to oppress, ex
ploit and rob them. They are finding
it out now though, just as the Filipinos
found out that you Americans went
into tho Philippine to help the people
there, and we have had one experience
very similar to yours, in the change of
many Corean leaders from bitter op

pre-war figures of 1313 of C43,797,2T1 and

while t..e imports have increased b
roughly .CO.il.Vi.MX), the exports have, in

The export figures, It should be noted,
ror some unexplained reason do not in

increase In the figures is accounted for
by the high prices. Comparing 1310 with

One of the most notable features in

value of the Imports of cotton goods,

that during tho year 6,0oj motor cars

phenomenal. One result of tho war hna
been to make South Africa practically
self-supporting In the matter of food

factured Into cloth or put to any othei
use In this Dominion, but It Is rnought
that at least 10 per cent, of the clip
could be profitably turned Into fabrics
here.
