CHANGE FOR TWO KINGDOMS.
Korea and Norway Both Changed
Control,

The past week has been an eventful
one for two of the smaller nations of
the world. Korea has passed under
Japanese protection and control, and
Norway has resumed her ancient rank
among the Independent kingdoms. .
The Korean emperor remains the
head Of the Hermit empire, but the
real authority will be exercised by a
Japanese administrator. - -.
Had Russia won in that war Korea
would have become Russian prov
ince. Japan having won, it becomes a
Japanese protectorate.
Under the resascence in Norway
that kingdom will have an opportunity
to pursue the paths of her own choos-
ing and to work out her own individ-
ual destiny, which she was not able
to do when united with Sweden. Her
king has been welcomed to his throne
by his people and has been felicitated
on his accession by the rulers OF other
nations. That there is no unfriendly
feeling with Sweden is manifested BY
the announcement that King Haakon's
first formal visit will be to the king
of Sweden. Let the revived kingdom
have peace and prosperity is the wish
of the world. 80.
