TOXIC, Aug. 29.-An imperial
edict, an official announcement
and a military order respecting
the action of Resident General
Terauchi and the independent
empire, today became the depend
emit kingdom of Chosen. The
emperor, VI Sick, became official
ly "the whang." Outwardly the
change has been made without a
single slip in the well-oiled
wheels of Nipponese diplomacy. In
unofficial circles, however, come
rumors of discomfort and threats
of revolt from Seoul.
The annexation was made with
out the consent of the Koreans,
over the protest of China-as yet
too feeble or too unready to en-
force her objections-and with
the careful watchfulnes sof the
United States. America enjoys
under Korean treaties many priv
ileges that Japanese treaties re-
fuse. The Japanese statesmen
have announced that the Korean
treaties will be recognized for a
time. The situation is a gigantic
Far Eastern game of "freeze-out, !"
with japan dealing the cards and
Russia playing to Japan's hand.
The treaty of Portsmouth sign
ed between Japan and Russia at
the close of the Russo-Japanese
war, gave to Japan the guidance,
protection and control" of Korea
Korea has just passed into the
third of these estates, and is now
part of Japan. Korea takes it
all with good grace, just as though
being annexed to Japan were an
everyday occurrence.
A dynasty 500 years old passes
away in Korea. OF the ancient
family, long in control of the alb
solute monarchy, there are seven
branches living, the heads of
which will probably be given the
title of prince by the Japanese
government.
Here, in tabloid, is the Korea of
today:
NAME-The name Korea, or
Kori, has been in use about 1000
years. The old name was the Chi
nese term "Chao-Sien," meaning
morning freshness"
TOPOGRAPHY-The peninsula
is 600 miles long and 1876 wide
and is about the size of England
The coast line is 1740 miles long
CLIMATE-The winters are Sc
we're, the middle and late sum
mer rainy and hot. The temper
ature ranges from 8 degrees il
winter to 80 in July.
FLORA-The pine, fir, oak and
maple trees flourish, and there is
an extensive lumber industry. The
fruits are peaches, apples, plums
etc. The flowers are neither ex.
tensive nor brightly colored. There
is a government monopoly o.
gingseng.
FAUNA-The principal animals
are the tiger, leopard, bear, ante
lope, several varieties of deer, fox
badger, tiger-cat, squirrel, beaver
otter, marten and sable. The birds
are the eagle, hawk, kite, crane
heron, crow, maybe, thrush
cuckoo, pheasant, goose, mallard
and duck. The horses of the
country are small, but the OK is
large.
MINERALS-Gold, copper, ga.
lena, iron ores, and large deposits
of coal abound.
FISHERIES-The fisheries are
important, and figure largely in
the exports.
AGRICULTURE-The country
is very fertile, but famine is oc-
casionally known on account of a
small rainfall. Rice is the most
valuable crop. Barley, millet and
oats are grown in the north. and
In the south wheat, maize. beans.
tobacco, cotton and hemp. Sweet
potatoes, cabbages and other vege-
tables are cultivated Live stock

THE DUEZ SCANDAL
VI. Brands Reply Gouern-
ment Ready for Full Erposure

Paris March 1.-THE Interpolation
concerning the enbezzlement of NJ D,ez
one of the men whom the government
appointed TO liquidate Church properties,
came up in the Chamber of Deputies to-
day.
NJ. Jaures. the Socialist leader in
bitter speech said that the scandal had
compromised the republic and demand
I'd that the whole affair be probed TO the
bottom and that the responsibilities be
fixed. lie said il was amazing that
man already a defaulter in the sun, Of
100000 could be appointed TO such re-
sponsibie task, and intimated that the
gravest suspicious existed against an
other liquidator, NJ. Lecouturier.
N. Jauras added that Ilecouturier fell
under suspicion not only because of the
excessive fees which were charged. but
by reason Of his connection with the
Chartreuse affair in which it vas re-
ported that he sold a brand of liuueur
manufactured by the Chartreuse Fathers
TO q rival concern under conditions which
prevented competition.
N. Jaures then read documents to
show that VI. Caillaux, Minister OF FL
nance. asked for information regarding
the circumstances of the sale OF the
Chartreuse for $4,000 fo~ which an
other company had offered 100000
He demanded that the government ex-
plain the immunity granted u Lecou-
turier.
NJ Berry, Conservative. followed up
the assault Of NJ Jaurss by saying that
it was not astonishing that Duez had
robbed the state when the state had
robbed the congregations
Premier BRAND replied 10 these at
tacks. reading from documents and cor
respondence. He said that the original
mistake was the law of 1901. which only
said the congrega ton shall be dis
solved" without mentioning the method
to be used Re explained at length the
complicated procedure Of the liquidation
Of single congregation like the Christ
ian Brothers. which involved innumer-
able suits and adjudica tons. When he
became Minister Of Justice. in 1908 he
said, he realized that the liQuidations
were dragging, and submitted a bill to
parliament 10 substitute administrative
for judicial control The Premier said
that instead of passing this bill the
Senate appointed an investigation COM
mission. He then read circulars which
he had addressed to the court and the
Public Prosecutors Office insisting on
closer supervision. which, he said re-
suited in reduction of fees. NJ. BRAND
also told how experts were appointed TO
investigate matters. but said that they
reported only inextrica bic confusion and
incapacity. but no criminality
Even after the resigna ton of Duez the
Premier said he wrote to the prosecutor
advising prosecution. When the final
exposure came the government had net
hesitated to DO its duty
The scandal is not in the exposure.
but in the immunity" NJ BRAND con-
Guided. The Republican regime need
not blush. All regimes develop scandals
but the crime is in the attempt TO stife
them"
The Premier promised that the truth
would be disclosed and justice pitilessly
applied, regardless OF who was found
guilty.
The debate then went over until Mon
day.
