it was originally intended to give
this council the power to control our
army and our navy and to plunge
this nation into war without the con-

Great Nation to protect the posses

turbances as might lead to world
conflict. without the right to inquire
whether their rule is in accordance

AAntagonism between the sexes is
like the antagonism between capital
and labor as | see it-a pulling in
opposite directions of two forces that
ought to pull in the same direction
by reason of the fact that they are
hitched together. In this world, we
find ourselves hitched up-speaking
more or less figuratively-with the
men-folks. And we,are all set for a
long pull up the hill Of progress to-
gether, as soon as we get in nice,
harmonious frame of mind.
Yes, the men are quite different
from us, and again-oh, if we could
cnly remember this-again, they are
quite like us. They are truly our
brothers, these men-folks of ours
apt to be foolish, apt to be wise, apt
to fail, apt to succeed. Because they
are not like us it should be easy for
Us to admire their peculiar character
istics. Because they are so like US,
it should be easy to sympathize with
them. Speaking in general, they have
the ideal qualifications for friend
enough like us to be congenial and
different enough to be interesting.
For fear of being too personal,

ans treatment of her husband with
the simple suggestion that doubtless
We could all do more to make friend

from our point of view, and points of

welfare Of the city in which our men

want to suggest that you keep as part
Of the spirit Of this organization a
real friendship for the men-folks of
Lakeland and for their particular or
ganizations-the Chamber OF Com

which the men are expressing them

the welfare and progress Of the city.

ages tell us that when Christ taught
us to pray in the Lords Prayer Give

If the Catholic religion had nothing
else to differentiate it from other re-

would be an infinite distance between

Eucharist that has drawn so. many

ministers are now demanding the res

KOREA AND INDEPENDENCE

Contributed by Bishop Demange,
Tailou, Korea:
THE agitation for independence in
Korea began last March and quickly
spread through all the country, but
was of greatest violence in the South.
THE old emperor died in January
and was succeeded by his son. The
former was deeply loved, and people
from all parts of Korea attended the
funeral ceremonies.
"President Wilson declared at the
Peace Conference that peoples had
the right of self-government according
to their race, their affinities and their
aspirations. The Koreans, having mel
Their liberty of the press nor adequate
representation in the world, decided
upon an agitation which would bring
their cause to public notice.
students from the Japanese gov
ernmental schools and from Korean
schools Joined with persons of all re-
ligions and no religions in fomenting
excitement. No violence was intend
ed; professions with the former ko-
rean national flag, suppressed since
the annexation, and cries of Long live
liberty marked the opening OF the
drama. But later, especially in the
North of Korea, there was violence;
windows were broken and fires set
in police quarters, and battles with
the police occurred.
Altogether 5,4S6 arrests were made,
among which were only fifty-three
Catholics, while all Protestant sects
and the numerous Korean pagan ad-
herents composed the remainder.
"The means taken to suppress the
uprising were also temperate in the
beginning, but later merged into
scenes of regrettable harshness.
Many persons were killed; it is I'M
possible to state the exact number.
With the advent of troops from Japan,
the end was, of course, inevitable, but
the uprising cost the Koreans dearly. Z
