MISSIONS REPORT
ON DISTURBANCE
Say People of Korea Have En-
dured SufferingS Which
Are Unjust.

RARUIZAWA. Japan. oct e.
The conference OF federated mis-
sions OF Japan has adopted resolu-
tons concerning the disturbance in
Korea. declaring that I'VE have been
forced 20 believe that the reports
are substantially true and that the
people OF Korea have endured suf-
ferings which are unjust and unnec-
essary."
These sufferings In resolutions add.
might easily be ended orce for all
II the methods OF administration
were Invested of that harshness and
cruelty which are so strangely at
variance with the high, enlighten-
ed principles according 20 which ia
pan proper IS now governed and
with the kind heartedness in which
Japan, as a people abounds."
The resolutions express faith that
the japanese government will in
augurate a more just system. They
add: I'VE bear testimony 20 the
passion for enlightenment which is
an indomitable impulse throughout
the heart OF the nation. and which
has brought about such general pro
gress during the half century since
Japan was opened 10 the world
We have rejoiced in the many
improvements brought about in Ko-
rea since that country came under
the authority OF TIE Japanese gov
eminent We do not wish TO con
done any mistakes the Korean peo-
pie may have made nor disregard
the inherent difficulty always at
tRched TO such an administrative task
ar that in hand in Korea.
But we wish 10 give clear and
public expression to our unmingled
sympathy with those OF the Korean
people to whom recent troubles
have brought cruel and unmerited
suffering And we wish TO give our
moral support-and this is the chief
reason for making this statement
10 any steps looking 10 a real and
permanent lettering OF conditions in
Korea"

WILSON IS GIVING
DAYLIGHT SAVING
MUCH THOUGHT
Devotes Considerable Atten-

Appropriations Before Him
By Associated Press.

Washington, July II. - President
Wilson, still had before him to-day
appropriation bills passed recently
by Congress and it seemed doubtful
whether any of them would be sign
ed this week. The President was
understood TO feel that the measures.
carrying appropriations of more than
$ $4,000, 600, 900 deserved deliberate
consideration.
1t was indicated at the White
House that the President was de-
voting considerable attention to the
rider on the agricultural bill repeal
ing the daylight saving law. He has
before him many petitions, some
urging that he sign the bill and
others that he veto it. So far as
could be ascertained the Presidents
mird still was open.
1t was indicated that the President
had not yet begun preparation of
the address to be delivered to the
Senate. when he presents the treaty
with France by which the United
States would go TO that republics
aid in case of unprovoked attack by
Germany. The Treaty would be SUBJ
mitted it was thought, before Mr..
Wilson started on his tour of the
country.
