DANISH MILITARY
RULE FROM KOREA
Only Hope Of Restoring Peace
there, Japanese
Believe

Toxic, July 9.-That all aspects
Of military rule should be completely
banished from Korea is the opinion
of representative Japanese. Thus
only. they say, can japan hope TO
re-establish peace and order among
the Korean people. i.
1t is generally admitted here that
the disaffection is not removed, but
merely quiescent, ready to burst
forth anew once the existing mill
tary pressure is removed.
Institution of a civilian govern
ment and removal of the present
gendarme police system are believ-
ed here to be necessary. The gen.
darms are held responsible for cases
of brutality and mistreatment, the
soldiers being only responsible, 1t IS
declared, for the killing of Koreans
in the Christian church at Cheam-
nj. In this case, says the Herald OF
Asia, a japanese policeman had
been murdered, and his body mutt
lated. The gendarmes told the ar
irving soldiers an exaggerated story,
says the newspaper, and the young
troops joined the gendarmes in a
massacre of the people.
Once the gendarmerie method OF
policing the peninsula Is removed,
and the people given more local
autonomy, such as the villages of
Japan enjoy, the newspaper thinks
the Koreans may see that their best
interests lie in the peaceful accept
alton of things as they are.
Responsible organs of opinion
here favor making Korea IN integral
part of the Japanese empire polite
ally, as it already is territorially.
Korea, they conceive, might be made
a nNnyinnn ~ Tonnn with a civil
governor mad proper representation
in the Japanese Diet. But before this
is possible. the newspapers think,
the Koreans must pass through the
necessary education and show them
selves prepared for selfgoYernment.

pr against high prices and the pro.

here any consistent reduction in the
lst of living is perceptible. Food
ices in some cities have taken a
Top in the past month, but in others
icy have advanced and in great
any instances they have remained
ationary.
These are the conclusions based on
ports received today by the United
less from nine cities, representa-.
re of the nation. The reports deal
dih five mmodities-butter eggs,
icon, bread and potatoes. All the
ices quoted were obtained from the
bash and carry stores where addi.
Unal charges for credit accounts and
elivery are eliminated and where
Fices are considered to be lowest and
bore uniform.
New York still maintains it's repu.
htion as the highest priced city. al
hough the figures show that the
Ownward tendency has been more
eneral in that city. ST. Paul is the
heapest city in which to live, the re-
|orts indicate.
The prices are comparative for a
lonth's time, those of July q being
PATCHED against those of August 81.
New York during that time saw de-
freases in three products. The best
pulk butter dropped from 81 to 63
fents a pound, the price Of eggs fell
from 80 to IS cents a dozen and stan
Fard bacon decreased from 81 to 90
Eents a pound. Bread remained sta
fionary at ten cents loaf and pota-
toes, priced in ten pound lots, were
the same, at fifty cents.
Only three cities, New York, San
Francisco and st. Louis, were spared
increases in price. In Washington
only one product was lowered in price.
The item was potatoes which sold at
AZ cents for ten pounds yesterday,
with 46 cents month ago.
Eggs rose from fifty to flfty-three
cents. Other prices remained the
same, as follows:
Butter 61 cents; bacon 60 cents;
bread 1923 cents.
The drive on the profiteer brought
scarcely any more comfort to Cleve-
land. In the Ohio city, eggs, which
sold for 81 cents month ago, were
quoted at IL cents more yesterday,
while the amount asked for potatoes
had risen from 45 cents to 81 cents.
Butter now selling at 81 cents, had
registered a three cent reduction,
while half cent was being saved on
bread, which was formerly eleven
cents loaf. Bacon was at fifty cents
having dropped one cent.
Typical of their rivalry on all mat
tcrs, San Francisco and Los Angeles
failed to agree. even on the high cost
OF living issue San Francisco, how
ever, seemed to be somewhat less ex.
pensive.
