Edward W., Thwing, oriental secretary of the In ternational Reform bureau, who was in Korea in March and personally wit. nessed some of the disturbances re sulting from the Korean independence movement, declares that the lower laapanese officials and soldiers have acted like lawless savages in dealing with this peculiar situation.” The movement in Korea is described by the Dev. Thwing, who formerly was an American missionary as “a peaceful resolt which should have been handled with the greatest of tact.” “In a remarkable manner,” he said to the Associated Press, “the Korean independence movement has- manifest ed skill, courage and organizaition that has been a great surprise to many. It has shown more than ever before how unreasonable without jus tice, cruel and brutal the military rule of Janpan is in this land. I could hardly believe these things if I had not seen them with my own eyes. “The police and soldiers have ar rested old men and little children and cruelly beat them. Little girls of only ten years of ag e women and school girls have been shamefully treated an and subjected to physical punishment and torture for no other crime than shouting with peaceful enthusiasm for ther own country and crying out for th e independence which Japan had guaranteed by solemn treaties. Jaaps Hiding Truth. “These things have been witnessed not by one or two but by Scores of missionaries and others in many parts of Korea during March. If the world could only know these things they would certainly heed this cry of dis tress from an oppressed people. But the Japanese are doing all they can to keep the world from knowing the truth. A report- has just come that in one city, from which letters have been sent, they ar e making it very hard for the missionaries, eve r hinting at deportation unless they stop telling Hale Hamilton at J Strand Monday j \ > KttiK 7 ' llv' - i .<• - W :; " r- u c,...W w • -aw •*%. *' .mF lb.- : > <> , V"' HALE HAMILTON In “After His Own Heart,” which will Ite Shown at the Strand Theater Mon day. out the truth. “The following are some of the things that I have actually seen with my own eyes: “Small school boys knocked down and cruelly beaten by Japanese sol diers. This was not a question of ar resting them, but savage unjustifiable barbarism. “Soldiers stop and deliberately fire into a crowd composed only of girls and women wh o were simply shouting ‘Mansei.” “A small boy of ten years shot thru the back. An unressting old man of 85 years, pounded kicked and beaten by sev eral Japanese soldiers until he could not walk. “A crowd of about twenty school girls who wer p quietly walking along the public road, not even shouting, chased by soldiers, beaten with guns, knocked down and so shamefully trea ted that it made one’s blood boil. ’’Japanese firemen chasing boys and girls with long iron hooks trying to catch them with them. “A Korean in a hospital paralyized with his head crushed in with one of these hooks.

The vitals of the Vesta are dif ferent:. Three exclusive improvements give it double life. The Vesta Indestructible Isolators positively lock the plates apart and prevent this form of short circuits. The Vesta Impregnated Wooden Mats eliminate "treeing”—another cause of short circuits. The use of Titanium, a rare mineral, enters into the lead plates, hardening them and adding vastly to the efficiency of the battery. It also precipitates mineralsand impurities in solution. These exclusive, patented features in the vitals of tire Vesta make this wonder ful battery last twice as long. This is a positive proved fact; yet the Vesta costs no more than ordinary batteries.

FREE DISTILLED WATER FREE AIR bloody clothes, tied together With ropes taken to jail. "Two Koreans so injured that they could not walk tied down on a spring less cart and brought to jail. “Men standing by having no connec tion with the demonstration and yet knocked about and attacked by sol diers who will attack anyon e without regard to what they are doing. “An American missionary roughly arrested while standing in his own yard and looking on but doing noth ing else. “Women knocked down with guns and kicked into the ditch. “These and many other things I hav p seen with my own eyes. Other foreigners have seen the same and worse. One can little imagine the reign of terror in all parts of this land, at the very time when the Japanese peace delegates are talking of ‘humanity and justice and equality of races.' They don’t know the meaning of these words. And the punishments and tor tures at the police stations and jails make a still more awful story. I have seen men who were beaten between wooden crosses by the Japanese. “And why is all this cruel punish ment given? Not for rioting, or for resisting arrest: 1 have not seen one case of this; not for carrying dan gerous waepons, they hav e none; but just for shouting out the desire of their hearts for the independence of their country.
