Rice Riots Extend
To Corean Industry

TOXIC, Aug. 29.-Special dispatches
from Seoul. Corea. say there have been
rice riots there in which the rioters
destroyed a schoolhouse and several
other buildings. The indications are
that there will be strikes IN the fac
tories and mines in Corea.
There has been a return of the rice
troubles in some of the mining dis
tricts on the island of Kushiu, where
rioters have destroyed mining property.
Replying to a delegation of peers
who urged the government to adopt
strong measures to effect reforms in
the food situation, Premier Terauchi
asserted that the government was do
ing the best it could. He expressed
the opinion that there was something
more behind the riots than the price
of rice.

THE efficiency and economy of
Marshal Foch's strategy are
strikingly illustrated in the
enforced retirement of the Germans
from the Lys Valley salient. Cen
eral Won Arnims armies are draw
ing out of this pocket of their own
motion. The German situation fur
Their south compels them to retreat.
They are giving up, under merely
nominal enemy pressure, territory
whose capture cost them a mighty
effort and entailed severe and fruit
less losses.
The German offensive in Flanders
last April attained unexpected sue
cess in its first stages. The shock
Of the initial attack fell on a Portu-
guese division holding the line about
Armentieres. These troops broke
and a gap was made through which
Won Arnim's forces pushed far up
the fiat Lys Valley. They were not
held for many days. The German
advance continued due west for
about twelve miles, to the edge of
the Forest of Nieppe. Then Luden-
dorff turned his attention to bullying
out the sides of the salient.
He had little luck on the south
side, where the British First Army,
under Horne, held like a rock at
Givenchy and on the line west COW
ering Bethune. But on the north the
Germans took Messines Ridge, Wyt-
schaete, Neuve Eglise, Bailleul and
Mont KENNEL and seemed to be on
the point Of capturing Ypres and
compelling a British evacuation of
the whole of the old Ypres salient
About two-thirds of it was, in fact,
evacuated.
The Germans threatened the road
to Dunkirk and Calais. Field Mar
shall Haig issued an order telling the
British troops that they were fight
ing with their "bacls to the wall"
and General Maurice made his
famous query Che has since ex-
planned that it's import was entirely
misunderstood in America), "Where
is Bliicher?" The situation was not
saved until French reserves arrived
at KENNEL and Dranoutre and Gen.
eral Won Arnim suffered his bloody
reverse southwest of Ypres on
April 20.
The Germans have held the Lys
Valley salient for four months and
half. But they have not been able
to turn it's possession to any advan-
tage. Now they are sinking out of

German Force in West
Drops to 1856 Divisions

LONDON, Sept lit has been
learned that the Germans now have
only 1856 divisions on the Western bat
tlefront, as compared with 204 which
they had recently. They had to break
up eight divisions to form drafts. They
are endeavorng to make up this short
age with two or more Austrian di-
visions and large amount of Austrian
artillery.
The enemy has put into the present
battle, north and south, about ninety
one divisions, of which seventeen have
been engaged twice. The Germans
also have made several changes in the
High Command, at least two command
ers having been removed.
The German Grown Prince is said to
have been deprived of half his army
corps, the men having been transferred
to General Won Boehn.

machine gun bullet wound in the head.
The bullet miraculously had richo-
chetted around the scalp, making bad
tear. While dressing the wound the
surgeon asked, "Does it hurt much 2"
"Not much" said the corporal, "but
I'll probably have a headache to-mor-
row.
The corporal drank big cup of
coffee and walked out of the dugout
toward the ambulance, when shrapnel
burst above and wounded him second
time, flesh wound in the neck being
his second misfortune.

being redressed.

their part. They are not even being
driven out. So far Foch has wasted
not single division attacking their
positions. Force, successfully ap-
piled many miles to the south, has
shaken the Germans out of this
dearly purchased pocket. They have
already surrendered nearly half of
the territory they had overrun. The
British are we'll east of Bailleul,
near Wytschaete, near Wulverghem
and Neuve Eglise, at Steenwerck
and on the edge Of Estaires. For the
Germans Armentieres is almost in
sight. Yet there has been no major
engagement in Flanders since Won
Arnim's retreat began.
The retreat down the Lys Valley
seems also to have affected the Ger
man line from Armentieres down to
Lens. Unofficial reports from Lon
don yesterday indicated retirement
from Lens, which the Germans have
chung to like leeches for nearly four
years.
On the battle front in Artois and
Picardy the British continued to
make progress. Bullecourt, at the
junction of the Hindenburg and Wo-
tan lines, was taken yesterday; Pc.
rome fell and there was a further
advance in the region north of that
city. The British captured Boucha-
vesnes and Rancourt, three miles
east Of Combles, bagging 1000 pris-
oners. They also obtained a footing
| in st. Vast Wood.
On the front north of scissors
Ludendorff is fighting hard to avert
the outfanking of his positions be-
tween the Chemin des Danes and
the Vesle. But he cannot check
Foch's progress. Yesterday the
French took Leury, which is about
two miles east of Chavigny, and a
somewhat greater distance southeast
of Juvigny-two centres of fierce at
lacks and counter attacks during the
greater part of last week. Further
north, just below the Ailette River,
General Mangin's troops captured
Crecy-au-Mont, close in to Coucy-le-
Chateau. On the north side of the
Ailette they also got foothold in a
wood just west of Coucy.
In this region the Germans are
stubbornly avoiding retirement
north. They are also Drawing the
risks of retreat too long delayed.
Foch's persistent pounding north of
scissors seems to forecast develop
ments on large scale before long
in the Aisne Valley sector.

yesterday evening the Australians at
$3.50 this morning renewed their adj
vance in conjunction with English

unnoticed by the enemy.
Yesterday the British advanced
with strong forces against our old
lines. Our mixed detachments, which
had been left behind in the forefield
of the new positions, are in fighting
touch with them.
The enemy occupied KENNEL and
followed up beyond Bailleul and Neuf
Berquin and across the river Lave.
On the Arras-Cambrai road British
infantry attacks collapsed before our
positions. Strong enemy attacks be-
tween Hendecourt and Vaulx-Vrau-

envy forces which advanced north of
Varesnes and across the Disc near
Bretigny were thrown back.
Between the Disc and the Aisne the
infantry battle commenced again yes
terday evening after strong artillery
fire. Immediately south of the Disc
