KOREA SITUATION

Washington, March 21.-The Unit
ed States government, through the
State Department, today made for
NAL request upon the japanese gov
eminent for information regarding
attacks upon American women in Ko-
rea by Japanese soldiers.
Press reports state the Japanese
have instituted a reign Of terror in
Korea, the object being to crush the
evolutionary movement aiming at
the independence of Korea. Jap
nese officials are said to accuse
American missionaries Of being be
hind the revolutionary propaganda
and acts Of reprisal are being direct
ed against them. Many Of the mis-
sionaries are women and many are
reported to nave been beaten by Jap
anese soldiers and civilians.
An inquiry has also been sent to
the American consul at Seoul, he old
capital of Korea, for report on his
alleged arrest and Imprisonment by
the japanese authorities.
1t is held here that if the mission
aries in Korea are becoming obnox-
ious anti-Japanese prOpagandists
there, they will not be sustained by
the United States.
1t is intimated by the American
consul at Seoul that the facts are such
as to call for an immediate apology
by Japan.

Governor Cantu Receivers,

Governor Cantu Receivers.
CaleXico, March 21.-After being
confined to his bed for week with
slight touch of influenza, Cover
nor Esteban Cantu of Lower Califor-
MIA returned to his executive office
in MeXicali this morning, feeling
much better and ready to go through
his regular routine of work.
The first question put to the gov
ernor this morning was the much
talked-about deal between the C.-M.
ranch and Japanese colony and
the governor simply smiled, and said
he knew nothing about and thought
that such a transaction was almost
impossible, owing to the fact that
he would prefer to have white people
in his domain rather than Japanese,
"at any cost" he said.
There was some talk of a certain
number Of Japanese capitalists leas-
ing portion of the C.-M. ranch
holdings a while back, but nothing
more has come to my notice since
that time and | am almost sure that
nothing will be done in this matter,
so far as l am concerned. There
are plenty Of white people who would
jump at the opportunity to lease this
good land, so this japanese talk is
greatly exaggerated"
Governor Cantu has set aside two
days a week for the reception of visi-
tors at his office, where he will al
W9VS bn o1a5 tO transact ap,, n,attar
of business. The sign hangs out like
this:

Call for Reconstruction
Of Public Health Service

When the operation of the draft
law revealed the fact that distress
ingly large percentage OF the, young
men of America was physically un-
fit for military service, America
woke up with start from her COM
placent dissatisfaction. What is
the matter? Are we a decadent ma
ton and are we deteriorating ply
sically? American boys who went
overseas surely proved their metal,
but the fact remains that there has
been something wrong with the old
system of body, care and health
building Defective eyes, weak hearts
and host of other physical imper-
fections surely lends force to the
statement of the drugless physicians
that the old school of medicine has
not justified its claim OF efficiency
and superiority. When one realizes
that all public health work, school
inspection and the like has been
monopolized by medical doctors the
indictment is plain. ,..
DR.. Lee w. Edwards says one of
the most important things to be &C
complished in the reconstruction
period is to take the medical profess
sion and place it in the hands Of
sanitary engineers, who will put the
emphasis on sanitation and hygiene,
leaving the matter of treatment to
the free choice of the patient who
certainly should have some right in
the matter. The chiropractors are
willing to risk the Judgment Ct the
American public when it comes to
choosing between the changing the
DRY of medical practice and the sim
pie mechanically exact theory of
chiropractic. The modern chiroprac-
tor does not need to argue the pos
sibility of spinal subluxation cutting
off life power to the various parts
of the body. The impartial scientific
N-Ray has settled that mooted ques-
ton. <The X-Ray locates the trouble
and the chiropractor removes it.
