STRICT ETIQUETTE In KOREA
Practices That Seem Absurd in West
ern Eyes Are There Looked Upon
as the Proper Thing.

A recent Washington dispatch de-
clares that a good many changes have
taken place in Korean manners and
etiquette since the Japanese came into
control.
A Girls High school was established
at Seoul in 1908, and the girls who
were admitted, "a in number, were the
daughters Of noblemen. The teachers
were women at first, but as the needs
of the school grew and became more
exacting, few male instructors were
appointed. The community in gen.
eral, and the pupils parents in par
ticular, were enraged, alleging that
it was an objectionable offense for
men to enter the gate Of a girls
school, if they were teachers.
The school authorities, therefore,
made a concession that the male
teachers should veil their faces when
they passed the gate of the school.
1t is an absurd evasion, but the stu
dents parents were satisfied with it.
Some of the girls are attended by two
or three chaperons, or maids, even
when at their studies.-Youth's Com

Concrete TO Hold Back Water.

Concrete will be extensively made
use Of in the future in the revetment
work on the shores of the Mississippi
river, taking the place Of the willow
mats which have been used for some
time with considerable success. These
mats are effective enough in protect
ing the banks against the action of
the current, but they are difficult, te.
dious and time-consuming to weave
and sink in place. The cement proc
ess has been developed by investiga-
tors of the United States bureau Of
standards, VINO have found that a
four per cent addition of calcium
chloride to the mixing water increases
the strength of the concrete at the
age of one day by 100 per cent or
more. In some cases the strength Of
the concrete in which the calcium
chloride was, at the age Of two days.
was rs per cent or more Of the
strength normally attained in one
month. This rapid hardening is what
has made the concrete available for
the work Of combining the wandering
Missouri river to its banks.

BERLIN DECIDES ON
SUBMARINE POLICY
Policy Kept Secret, But Con-
cession Is lntimated.
Chancellor Returns From Great Head
quarters to Capital, Indicating
Decision Has Been Reached.

Berlin (via Copenhagen to London),
April 24.-The imperial chancellor,
DR.. VonBethmann-Ho llweg, returned
to Berlin yesterday, which would
seem to justify the assumption that
the empires responsible leaders at
great headquarters have finished con-
sideration of the American note and
reached a decision concerning Ger
many's reply.
The chancellor's return, it is under
stood, was not expected until Tues
day; hence general decision appears
to have been reached earlier than
looked for. There is no intimation of
when the reply will be formulated,
but there seems to be much signifi-
canoe in the fact that the Lokal An
zeiger, which is consistently we'll in
formed, says that "Germany's
strength and prestige have so in
creased in the last twenty months in
the eyes of the whole world that the
German government has, indeed, only
to follow the commandments of wis
DOM"
Could Make Concessions.
The obvious deduction, according to
the view here, is that there is moth
ing to prevent Germany from making
certain concessions if the leaders feel
that they can properly do so.
Whether they do feel that they can
GO thus far is, of course, another
question.
There is unquestionably a consider
able peace party in Germany, which
includes powerful financial interests
represented by the Bourse organs and
the Frankfurter Zeitung and includ-
ing also the Berlin Tageblatt and So
cialist organs Certain high officials
also, would consent to breach OF
war with the United States only most
reluctantly and under pressure of
what seemed to them an unavoidable
necessity.

THE POWER TO MOVE.

The practical side of republican
form of government is being discred-
tied by events in the European war II
the various nations are to be taken as
fair testimony.
England has been almost PROSTATE
through the failures of her previous
cabinet to perform the tasks neces-
sary to the successful waging of the
war. A new cabinet is the result, and
now comes the announcement that
five men-Lloyd-George, the premier;
Bonar Law, Earl Curzon, Lord Mil
rer, Arthur Henderson-will direct
Great Britains part In the huge con-
fliet. The win of the people has been
totally lacking so far as it is known.
and the quintette of English leaders
hold the destiny of the islands and
her colonies within the palms of their
hands.
France comes with new cabinet
and restricted number of statesmen
who have the sole charge of the cam
paigns. The same thing has taken
place In almost every country. Ger
many, ruled with an iron hand, has
been successful. The powers OF the
many have been usurped through ac-
tions of the few.
The theory of republican govern
ment is wonderful dream. The Unit
ed States is the greatest republic on
earth yet she has not lived half 80
long as Rome.
Apparent facts and results do not
seem to sustain the popular slogan
the rule of the people. In times of
stress and great national anxiety 1t
seems to be the few who guide the
affairs of the nation.

GETTING READY
FOR THE ENEMY

The Savannah Morning News says
South Carolina knows that the Sa-
vannah river will not stop the boil
weevil. The other day E. Lee Wor-
sham, state entomologist of Georgia,
said the coastal plain of South Caro-.
ina would be covered by the pest
next year. So the farmers of the
southern tier Of counties across the
river have not acted too quickly by
planning an organized fight on the
costly little rayager of cotton fields.
The other day representatives of seven
counties met at Fairfax and formulat-
ed plan of campaign, the basis of
which is the employment Of second
farm demonstration agent for each of
the counties, who Is to form the con-
Meeting link between farm and farm,
to visualize and give conference to the
organized efforts of the fighting farm
ers.
1t long has been plain that the boil
weeyil had to be fought, If fought with
any degree of success, by both organ
lied and individual effort. Unless there
is an organization there is likely to be
very little accomplished, since indiyid-
ual farmers hesitate to make changes
without good advice and without the
strengthening that cooperation with
other farmers gives them. II part OF
the South Carolina plan, as in the
Pierce county, Georgia plan, is to
raise a variety of other crops In addi-
ton to cotton and to try to grow cot
ton In spite of the weevil. there is all
the more need for cooperation and
organization, because markets for the
side crops can be reached through
cooperative marketing and co-opera-
tive planting alone.
The farmers of eastern Georgia and
South Carolina are not downhearted.
They have had rich cotton year and
they are learning methods Of fighting
the weevil, are betting together to
make a concerted attack upon the
enemy, and are determined to farm
more profltably and with a far greater
degree of financial safety in future.
