FOREIGNERS IN KOREA
MUST PAY CITY TAXES

Toxic, Nov. 5.--The abolition OF
foreign settlements in Korea which
became effective ON December 81.
1913 means that foreigners this year
begin to pay municipal tax upon
their property. Hitherto foreigners
were exempted from taxation. The
budget of the government Of Korea.
made up and will be placed before
the cabinet in Toxic. 1t has been
framed upon the financial policy
adopted by the governor general which
is that of carrying out the independ-
ence of the finances Of Chosen IN five
years.
( Notwithstanding the increase of
taxation there has been a diminution
of revenue by 100000 in the GUS
toms. railroads and posts and tele-
graphs. chiefly on account of the Eu-
ropean war. Altogether deficit OF
S1,25O000 must be made up. partly
by economy in the expenses Of various
offices and partly by carrying for
ward to the future the redemption
of some extraordinary loans.
In recognition of services rendered
ON the question of abollshing foreign
settlements, the emperor Of Japan has
decorated the Russian, French, Bel
gian and Chinese consul-generals
with the order of the Rising sun. The
American and British consuls who
also helped in the work are not per-
mitted by their governments to accept

When Plan Of Capture Fails
Invaders Concentrate Heavy
Fire on Historic Buildings
British Say,
,.r no.~,~e JOURNAL ..so.l l..sso w,rn

London, Dec. 5 (S:25 y. m.)--The
official eyewitness with the British
army headquarters on the continent
in narrative dated December ?. says
that the destruction OF the Belgian
town of Ypres by the Germans sug-
gests that II was really the outcome
of disappointment and exasperation at
its resistance and at the failure OF
the much advertised plans for its cap
ture.'
The writer points out that up to the
end of October, the Germans had
contented themselves with bombard-
ing points where the British mead
quarters was believed to be situated
and other places, such as the railway
stations, where destruction would DC
of military value.
The shelling of the town itself be-
gan in earnest only on the nignt OF
November 5, since which date It was
maintained intermittently. That the
town escaped so long apparently was
due to the fact that up to November o.
the Germans had counted on captur-
ing 1t. Later the attacks were Simply
in The nature of forlorn hopes, the
narrator says, which called for all the
assistance that could be obtained py
artillery cooperation even at the rish
al the destruction of historic place
which might become German.
The last attack in force was DENY
cred on November IL. Four days lat
ar the Germans commenced to pour
etream Of shell into the central mar
ket place and whereas the Cloth nan
and the cathedral both had escaped
material damage till then, these TWO
historic buildings were blazing before

nlish this. il is stated, the Germans
brought ND train armed with heavy
euns. After the Cloth hall ana ihe
cathedral were destroyed, the eye
witness SAYS, the fire of the Germans
no longer directed on them.
The writer states on good authority
that the Germans renamed ostenu

tbe object of deceiving German sol,

ment to Make on Situation
and Eighty Per Cent Act"

Washington, Dec 5.-In the ab-
sonce of official advices, Secretary
Bryan refused to comment tonight on
Governor Hunts message announc-
ing his decision TO postpone the proc
lamation of Arizona's new anti-alien
employment law pending further COM
munications from the state depart
ment. Formal protests against the
Arizona law were lodged with the de-
partment today by the British and
Italian ambassadors and message
was sent to Governor Hunt asking If
he had authority to postpone action.
Mr.. Bryan listened with interest TO
the text Of the governors reply as
carried in Associated Press dispatches
from Phoenix, but would not discuss
the matter.
The British protest attacks the law
as In violation OF the Fourteenth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States, which provides that no
state shall deny TO any person within
its Jurisdiction equal protection of the
law
The Italian protest cites the COM
mercsal treaty between Italy and the
United States. ratified In 1871, when
provides that citizens of each nation
resident in the other shall have lib
erty ito carry ON trade, wholesale and
retail. TO hire al,d-oecupF houses and
warehouses, to employ agents of their
own choice and generally to do any
thing incident or necessary for trade

the country, submitting themselves to
the laws there established"
England Wants to Know.
The note presented by the British
ambassador sought information as TO
the exact status of British residents of
Arizona under the law. 1t was stated
that British consuls there had sent
word that suits to test the legality Of
the act were contemplated by British
residents.
In reply, the state department no
titled both embassies ii had taken
steps to obtain complete information
as to the anti-alien act and expected
soon to be able to furnish the desired
Information. AS soon as the text OF
the Arizona law is available, it will be
subjected to study by the department
legal advisers, who will also look INTO
court decisions based on anti-alien en-.
actments of other states, such as oai
ifornla, oregon and New YORK.
