kOREA'S CLOSED DOORS
Afford No Field for American Enter

Afford No Field for American Enter
prise.
In pursuance OF the policy now pur-
sued by the consular service of ascer-
tanning the state of foreign fields as
opportunities for American labor, cap
ital and enterprise, Horace w. Allen.
consul general to Seoul, Korea, writes
for the consular reports under date of
January e that Korea now employs
no foreign military officers as advisers
or instructors in its army, and is not
likely to do SO, ewing to an agreement
made with Russia when a large staff
OF Russian officers were allowed to
leave. BY this agreement Korea an
nouneed her ability and intention TO
dispense with further assistance of that
Kind. The many requests from young
men who have recently left the service
of the United States asking for. posi-
tons in connection with the Korean
army are futile. There is no demand
for their services in Korea There Is
no demand for foreign advisers to the
Korean government. Although two
Americans who held such positions
have recently died. their places have
been filled, and there Is no further de-
mand for assistance of that kind. The
newspaper report that one of these
advisers had been receiving a salary of
100000 gold per annum is entirely
misleading; such positions pay from
$3.50 to $3.50 per month There is no
demand for employees on the railroads
in Korea. Japanese control and op-
crate the stem railroad, and Koreans
and Americans are employed on the
electric railroads. I believe the posi-
tions are all filed Employment with
the mines would have to be secured be-
fore coming to Korea. The agent of
the mines in America is H. 4. Noble,
representative OF the Oriental Gonsol-
idated Mining company. San Francisco.
Prospeetors cannot operate in Korea,
and there is no employment with tho
mines ether than on wages. I am told
the mining company has no lack of ap.
plicants.
