To DRIVE KOREANS
FROM C0UN TRY
Unhappy Conditions Of Her
nit Kingdom Since Alb
sorbed by Japan.
ROD OF IRON RULE.
ROD OF IRON RULE.
Cruelty, Persecution and Despotic
Laws Cause Many to Leave Home of
Their Birth.

Toxic, Dec. 7.-As premier, it was
believed here today, General Count
Terauchi, will more vigorously prose
cute the Korean policy that he pur-
sued as governor general of that de-
tendency. The desire of the new pre-
mier it was made apparent was to de-
populate Korea of its native born, and
as governor, he made life such bur-
den for the Koreans that many of
them left the country. As the head
of the cabinet, Count Terauchi will
have even greater opportunity for
harrassing the Koreans.
1t is indisputable that the islands
of Japan now are too crowded for
comfort. There actually is not room
for all the people and more territory
is imperative. One of Terauchi's pet
projects, it is understood, is to drive
all the Koreans from their country
and replace them with Japanese. He
would cause the Koreans to emigrate
to northern China and then would
offer inducements to japanese to colo
nize the territory.
When Korea was annexed by Japan
shortly after the Manchurian war,
the population was about 100000.
Count Terauchi, not by cruelty and
persecution but by the enactment of
despotic laws, has so annoyed the Ko-
reans that many of them have moved.
Count Terauchi is go years old. He
studied military science ii France.
1t was in connection with the annex
alton Of Korea for which he was large
ly responsible, that he received the
title of Count.

CHINA PREPARING

tors.
WILL HAVE JAPANESE,
Mongolian Situation Not Chimera-
Recession by Russians May Pre-
vent a Conflict.

st. Petersburg, Dec. Tt was Off
cially stated that the Russian govern
ment today had received advices from
Pekin that China had decided not to
send an army into Mongolia.
Pekin, Dec. 7.-No Chinese newspap-
er today printed line of military
news, complying implicitly with the
Instructions of the Ministry Of the In
terror that the newspapers publish
nothing about the movements of Chi
nese troops.
That was taken to indicate that a
Chinese war with Russia over the
Mongolian situation at least was not
a chimera. Recaksion by Russia from
her demand for part of Mongolia,
or intercession by other European
powers might avert a conflict, but that
the Chinese ministry is preparing to
fight cannot be doubted.
The supplanting of German sold
iers as instructors of Chinese troops
by Japanese army officers also Is re-
garded as significant. The disastrous
defeat of the Ottoman country in the
Balkan is said to be responsible for
the elimination of Germans from the
Chinese army. China was almost per-
suaded to accept the offer of Marshal
Won Der Goltz for the loan of German
army officers to instruct the Chinese
soldiery, but held off to watch the
war in Eastern Europe. The Turkish
soldiers were under the tutelage OF
Germans, and their many defeats COM
pletely shattered the confidence of
China in Germany's military ability
1t is an open secret that the Japa-
nese desire to dominate the Chinese
army an dto enable them to supplant
the Germans they have pointed to the
outcome of their war with Russia.

CHILD LABOR.
Distressing Conditions Brought to
Light in New York.

New York, Dec. 7.-Stirred as new
er before by the astounding revela-
tions over tie manner in which babies
hardly out of arms, are forced to
work, in the tenements of this and
other cities, of the state, members Of
the state factory investigation COM
mission were today considering rene
dial legislation. 1t was admittedly q
difficult task. Women workers who
had told Of the evil, frankly declared
that in many instances the children
had to work or the entire family
would face starvation. With the price
of the necessities of life higher than
ever before in the history of the Unit
ed States, and with the earnings Of
the tenement dwellers so low that
even with entire families working
the average was less than S7.00 a
weak, the committee agreed that the
incoming legislature would have to
frame its proposed laws so that they
would no timpose even greater hard
ships on the wage earners.
The stories related under oath to
the commission which will report to
the legislature in January have been
almost unbelievable in their recital
of hunger and misery They deal with
women working side by side with
men in the iron foundries perform
ing tasks far beyond their strength
and subject to sudden changes in
temperature which resulted in many
instances in tuberculosis of women
working nine to fourteen hours night
ly in factories and mills; of mere
children working in canneries until
long into the night anG the stories
of the tenement workers.
Babies Of 19 months are being train
ed to sort out artificial flower pet
ais according to the sworn statements
now before the commission. Tender
babies less than five were being used
to take advantage of the Christmas
holiday" season to dress dolls, eX-
tract meat from the nuts used to
produce many Of the nut candies sold
at low figures during the coming fes-
tival days and to sew on clothing.
neckties and womens' handy knick-
knacks that were later offered for sale
OF the hundreds of push carts that
line the shopping district.
When the commission resumed its
session today there were many. Wit
nesses awaiting to be calied-among
them some of the child workers-to
tell how they work in the dingy tene-
ments for which they are forced to
pay high rent.
1t was also intended by Miss Eliza
beth c. Watson, investigator for the
Child's Labor Bureau who has in
vestigated the matter TO show that
because Of the congestion in the tene-
ments tubercular and other extreme
ly contagious disease germs are
freely transmitted from the workers
to the ultimate purchasers of the
goods.
