Tied Together by Thumbs,
Through Streets of Seoul

Which He Himself Witnessed 4,

San Francisco, April 2.-Japanese
soldiers dragging Korean girl stu
dents through Scouts streets - the
girls lashed together by the thumbs
and with thongs about their necks-
were among sights seen by V. S. Nc
Clatchey. Sacramento publisher. who
returned today aboard the Shinyo
Maru.
Stories of brutality that sustain
Senator James d. Phelan's description
of Japan, the Germany of the Far
East" were current in Korea. said
McClotchey. So aroused have certain
Japanese members of Parliament be-
come that daily appeals are being
made by them to the government to
lift the Id from the Korean scandal
and prevent Japan becoming a re-
proach among nations.
McClatchey avs an eyewitness to
the treatment of the Korean girls by
the Japanese gandarmes and person
ally investigated other conditions
which he described in unmeasured
terms. He said:
Bound Together by Thongs.
I'm the streets of Seoul, Mrs. Nc
Clatchey and myself saw girl stu
dents, suspected Of melting rebel
lion against japanese rule, led
through the streets by armed Jap
anese soldiers. The girls. somc of
them hardly more than children,
were bound in couples by their
thumbs. the lashing being tied so
securely that any attempt of the
victims to pull apart would have
dislocated their thumbs. About
their necks were leather thongs,
drawn tightly into the flesh so
that an attempt to escape would
have meant strangulation.
Besides this personal instance of
cruelty. the Korean capital was full
of stories OF attacks by japanese on
Koreans in which the butts of rifles
were the weapons of punishment.
The true story of Korea will
never be written. for the impression
prevails among foreigners in the
Orient that Korea has already lost
her chance OF freedom. So serious
have conditions become that even
official Japan is getting aroused and
daily interpretations occur in the
Japanese Parliament wherein gov
ernment leaders are asked to lift
the lids on Korean affairs and eI-
plain where Japan is earning the
detestation of other countries.
The japanese daily papers appear
to have adopted a propaganda that
savors of the German atrocities in Bel
gidm. Every day appear detailed in
