A ZEPPELIN COMING OVER
Germany to Brighten Us Into
Preparedness, Coffin Says.

New York, July PSI have
reason to believe that within the
next six months a giant Zeppelin
will fly across the sea from Ber-
lin and land in New York City.
This statement was made today
by Howard E. Coffin, chairman
of the naval consulting board s
committee on industrial prepared
ness, and formerly president of
the American Engineering Socie-
ty
Within three years from to-
day the United States will have
an aerial army Europe cannot be-
gin to equal. Within two years
the entire mail service of the
United States will be handled via
air craft.
"Within the same period great
passenger carrying airships will
follow air routes all over the
country.
''This is not flight of fancy
but of fact. The explanation is
simple: American industries can
be co-ordinated and standardized.
Europe's cannot. What happened
in the automobile industry proves
that In 1905 foreign ears were
far ahead of ours. In 1909 the
American engineers got together
standardized their processes and
paved the way for quantity pro-
duction.
"Today there are 100000
American made ears running in
the United States and of the $780,
900 cars running in all other
countries, more than half of them
are American make f.

other day DR.. Robert e. Speer, at
luncheon given in his honor by the
governor general, Count Terauchi, said
that Japan's policy toward Korea was
unique in two respects.
What Japan Is Doing for Korea.
Japan is the only country that Is sub
sidiZing it's colonies to any extent
(from four to six millions, gold, a
year,, and Japan liz the only strong
and virile nation that has offered and
is trying to assimilate a weak nation
over which it has secured control. Doc
tor Speer was filled with amazement at
the changes that had taken place in
the eighteen years since he had visited
Korea, and even we who live I'm
Chosen are amazed at the miracles
that are constantly taking place before
our very eyes. The great X OF the

Koreans. spreading education and re
lieving people In distress.
1t Is doubtful whether in any coun
try in a like period such tremendous
changes have been introduced. Elk
ports have increased from $4,000, 00t
yen in 1910 to 100000 yen ir 1914
while imports advanced from IS, 900.
900 yen In 1910 to 1900, 900 yen in
1913. Even the population is increas
ing rapidly, having advanced from 49,.
100000 to 100000 under the new
regime. This is largely due to the
strict sanitary measures taken and tc
the activities of the eighteen great
charity hospitals and the scores Of dis.
pensaries scattered through the coun-
try. Vaccination is still enforced at
certain times, and opium users are ar.
rested and forced to take treatment
for their evil habit.

with its aid some 10000 people each
day are viewing their modernized CAPT,
tai and the exhibits showing what has
been accomplished In the past few
years.
People Well Treated and contented.
General Terauchi takes more pride
IN what the Koreans have accom-,
plished than in what is done by the
Japanese. He looks on them as his
children and has instilled into the
Japanese the feeling that they must
treat the Koreans as younger brothers
and sisters. Where a few years ago II
was not unusual to see Japanese
beating or kicking Korean, nowadays
one can travel from one end of the
country to the other, as the writer
does, without seeing a single case OF
cruel treatment. A friend from Tokyo
expressed surprise at the contented
appearance of the people and at the
rspidity with which they are acquiring
japanese and adapting themselves to
the new conditions.
II is q fact that while there may
still be apprehension in the hearts OF
some, the only Koreans who are great.
ly dissatisfied with present conditions
are the officials whose graft has been
stopped once and forever. and a small
number OF really patriotic young men
who are grieving that their country
has disappeared from among the ma,
tions and who would rather be citi.
zens Of a mean and Insignificant but
independent Korea than part of great
Japanese empire. The Prince vi house
hold, as the former imperial family 10
called, receives 100000 yen q yeal
from the government. At the time OF
the annexation an imperial donation
of 10000, 900 yen was made from Japan
to Korea, Of which 100000 yen went
as solatium to the mobiles. ministers
and other officials of the former re
