KOREANS NOT DISTURBED
NO EXCITEMENT OVER NEWS
OF ANNEXATION BY JAPAN.
Unoficial Announcement Of Change
Made in Newspapers-Public
Gatherings Forbidden.

SEOUL, Korea. August 25.-UnOfhcial
announcement Of the annexation of Korea
by japan was made here today, the
Korean newspapers being permitted to
publish the news of the meeting between
Lieut.. Gen Termuchi, the japanese resi-
dent general. and the Korean emperor
and cabinet at the palace here August ~.
at which the terms of annexation were
discussed and accepted by the emperor
and his cabinet
The announcement has caused no ex-
citement. Many of the leading Koreans
appear unconcerned about the change In
the status OF their country. recognizing
that annexation was inevitable.
Public gatherings have been forbidden
as a precautionary measure, although In
Japanese circles II is thought that the
definite PRONUNCIATION Of the convention of
annexation will be accepted by the
Koreans without open manifestations OF
discomfort.
