AT n SPOT about mile and half out
side the city walls, on the main road to
the Han river, the people assemble by
thousands either as witnesses Of or par.
tlcipants In this truly remarkable exhi-
Mtion OF warllke good will. BY previ-
GUS arrangement piles Of stones are In
readiness, all carefully selected and Of
a convenient size.
Without previous selection of com
batants the participants form them
selves into opposing armies. about the
only qualification for service being ap-
parently the ability to hurl stone at
the advancing forces of the enemy. At
first the stone throwing Is at long range
and unintcrestlng. but as the throwing
continues the forces draw nearer, and
the fight wakes fast and furious, men
heaps again or fetch fresh ammunition
for the firing line. Then the clash
comes, the two bodies meet, fierce rush.

knives and clubs are freely used, The

pIcts anything but the JOY we attribute
to the coming of new year. The fight
Is kept up until the clang OF the great
city bell tells the combatants that 1t is
time TO return home.
Perhaps the most singular feature
OF the celebration is that during the
remaining eleven months OF the year
the Korean Is as amiable person as
can be found in any country. and by
some writer's the average Korean 10

have for years. in this annual warlike
welcome of the new year. Indeed 1t Ia
legal in Korea to fight not only on
New Years day, but during the first
moon or month of the year. The Gus
tom has become national institution,
sanctioned by the government and
patronlzed by the king and the nobili-
