Dr. Allen as the American representative in Corea. He,wa the dean of the corps, and he had more influence among the people than any foreigner who has ever come to Corea. The Japanese made mistake in antagonizing him. Had he been made their friend he would have been of great value to both them and the Coreans in the present situation.
 The Unruly Japanese Element.
 One of the big problems of the Japa- nese government in Corea is the control of their own people. The higher off, cials and the officers of the army are doing all they can to bring about peace, to give justice to the Coreans, and to develop the country along modern lines. They are hampered by having great horde of the worst element of the land of the mikado which has rushed in to exploit Corea for all 1t is worth. Anls element consists of the ragtag and bob tail of the armies of Manchuria, of the blood sucking, land-grabbing, money lenders of Japan, of the roughs from the slums of many of the cities and of the scum of the overcroWded western part of the Japanese empire, whose civ iliaztion is far below that of the east ern coasts. It comprises all such char acters as go to our mining camps on the noise of a big gold discovery. There are gamblers and rowdies, drunkards and loafers and men who have left their country for their country's good; and there are business men of shady reputation who are glad to make money in any questionable way
 It would not be fair to say that>the whole immigration Is of this nature; but goodly part of it is so, and IS usual the bad men and women push n tha front The facnS many of the Japanese one meets are not friendly. They stare at you as though they thought you had no right in Corea, and make no bones of brush ing against the foreigner or crowding him to the side of the road. If there is resentment there is sure to be trou ble; and if one is off by himself and away from the police he may have to fight for his rights with the odds all

against him. I know of foreign men and women who have been struck by drunken Japanese, and there are nu- merous instances where the Corean servants of foreigners have been ill., treated by Japanese coolies.
 Many Sharks and Land Grabbers.
 It is from this element that the so- called outrages of the Japanese upon the Coreans come and at present the sit uation is such that it is difficult to hold it in check. The Coreans are simple, and a Japanese will loan money to them on their houses and lands on condition that he is to have the prop erty if the debt is not paid. These loans are at high rates of interest, such ns have always been common in Corea. 1 hear of mortgages at 10 per cent month and about the lowest rate charged by any one outside the banks is 24 per cent yearly. Such interest rates soon eat up the property and it goes into the hands of the Japanese. In the past the Coreans have been loaning money to their fellows on condition that the prop perty should be given Up without sale in case the loans were not paid. By the new laws of the Japanese this is forbid den and sales must be made, the surplus over the debt going back to the debtor and the creditor getting only the amount of his loan and the interest accrued. Most of the Coreans do not know of this new law and an interruptions creditor can often take $l0,OO0 property for a loan of $5Oo0 or less if the man cannot raise the money in cash at the time it is due.
 understand that Corea is over run with money lenders just now, and that much of the town property has al ready been mortgaged 1t is estimated that at least 50 per cent of the houses or Seoul and other Corean cities are so incumbered. One of the Corean papers estimates the mortgages of Seoul at 80 per cent and states that the Japanese go about and offer to make loans to.any of the property owners who are wiling to take them. This proposition is most attractive to the simple Corean. He bor- rows without thinking how he shall meet
