leaders of the Korean Independent
movement have arrived in Peking and
declare the movement is a national
one, with 100000 adhcrents, includ-
ing the Christians, Buddhists, heaven

peals to the generosity of the west
ern nations.
The independent leaders declare
there is widespread unrest In Korea
ami that 10000 persons already have
been arrested, and that Japanese
statements to the contrary are not
true.
They report several Instances Of
japanese mistreatment. In one in
stance a girl who participated in a
Korean Independent demonstration
was holding a manifesto In one hand
when Japanese soldiers cut off the
hand with a sword. She raised her
other hand, the Koreans add, and IT
also was cut off. Korean prisoners

is declared.

GERMAN DELEGATES TO PEACE TABLE
CAN'T MAKE ANY FINAL DECISION S

Weimar March 14.-(A. P.)-All
the German delegates to the peace
conference will be on an equal foot
ing" although Count Won Brookdorff-
Rantzau, the foreign minister, will be
their leader. The party will not have
the power to make final decisions,
that being vested in the cabinet. 1t
will be accompanied to the conference
by a large although as yet undeter-
mined group of experts, clerks and
secretaries.
The selection of the peace confer
ence delegates were reported after
long cabinet meeting which began
Wednesday and lasted far into the
evening. True to President Eberts
announcement at the time of his
election, Count Won Bernstorff will
not be delegate, although there has
been great pressure brought 10 bear
to have him named. This was partly
frustrated by information received

Report to State Department.
No Official Information.

Washington, March 14.-Ciovern
ment officials were greatly disturbed
today by the news from Pekin that
American marines raided the Japa-
nese consulate at Tien-Tsin and se-
riously injured the consul. No offi-s
cial information had been receivedss
either by the state department or the
Japanese embassy, but inquiries were
not sent. asst was assumed reports
already were on the cables.
Navy department officials doubtede
that 200 marines were involved in the9
raid as reported, because no marines
are stationed at Tien- -Tsin and the
entire contingent at Pekin, three or
four hours ride away, numbers only
few hundred. The presence of n
number of American ships in port. Of
which the department has not been
advised, could account for so many
marines being ashore and off duty at
Tien-Tsin. sw
The American force stationed at
Tien-Tsin is the Fifteenth regulars
infantry regiment. which has beenS
there for several years and which is9
composed entirely of veteran soldierss

LONDON KEEPS EYE
ON WILSON In PARIS
INTENSE INTEREST SHOWN
IN PEACE PROCEEDINGS.
Writer Declares World Wants
League, but Is Consenting
to It's Destruction.


London. March 14.--U. n. S.)--Thc
.feisra- -os. srhsiAeat Wilson torParis
is being watched here with the most
intense interest and with mixed emo
tions. One note that has been struck
in the press recently, particularly in
the weelSlies, Is that all Is not well
with the league of nations plan.
James Douglas, writing in the StaL
argues that the world wants a league
of nations, but yet is consenting to
it's destruction in Paris. He asserts
that "details about peace in Europe
will be revealed in a few days. ad-
ding:
Reaction in France, Italy and else
where will be exposed and the pitiful
rapacity of little nations Will be eX-
posed, too. If | mistake not, the man
who will tell the truth to the plain
people Is President Wilson"
1t is impossible to say what is the
basis of Mr.. Douglas charges, but
European statesmen have learned
that President Wilson can, and does,
talk to the plain people of all coun-
tries; also that opposition to Mr..
Wilson's league of nations plan in the
American senate has not undermined
his power to go straight to world
constituencies with any problems
that may arise.
The recent speech OF Secretary
Lansing at Paris, warning OF anarchy,
has encouraged certain critics who
feared that the old line diplomacy was
gaining the upper hand in world af-
fairs. These critics expect President
Wilson TO reintroduce his visions for
the pacification of Europe.

AMERICAN MILITARY EXPERTS AGREE
WITH SENTIMENTS OF LLOYD GEORGE

Paris, March 1.-THE American
military experts here. although ac-
cepting Premier Lloyd Georges plan
of prohibiting conscription in Ger
many and providing for a volunteer
army with a long term of service in
stead, have been giving the subject
deep consideration in its possible
bearing upon the future military sys-
TEN not only of America but OF the
whole world. They are inclined to
believe this is subject that might
properly come before the league OF
nations in connection with the limita-
tion of ornaments.
The American experts agree with
the sentiment attributed to Mr.. Lloyd
George that if the system started In
Germany proved beneficial its exten-
sion to the other European countries
would be inevitable, as they consider
it certain that the labor. socialistic
and militaristic parties will demand

to be relieved of the burden of con-
scription and free the young man
hood of the nations for full partici-
patton in fair competition for the
worlds trade.
Attention has been given by the
American experts to the possible re-
suit of the adoption of the German
nonconscription plan in the United
States upon the projected system for
universal military training of the
youth of America, and the opinion is
general among the American experts
that it would deprive the plan COM
petely of compulsory features, leav-
ing training in schools optional. They
consider, however. that the national
guard perpetuated by congress could
be relied upon for sufficient number
of trained soldiers to form the
nucleus of any army likely to be re-
quired in America in case Of the sue
cessful working of a league OF ma
tions.
