TotSio. July 8. (Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-Japanese of ffcin1s in Korea. in discussing the pun ishme ent administered to Koreans fin the independence movement there. say that the old Korean custom of floesing has been continued by the Japanese authorities. One reason siv- en by the Japanese for this was that the prisons were insufficient to lodge the large numbers of prisoners arrest ed in the revolutionary movement The Japanese officials also declared that the Koreans, themselves, some times preferred fIogging to paying a fine.
 Foreign newspapers have publish cd statements from foreigners in Kor- ea alleging that several Korean men who were floeged in pursuance of court sentences we're afterwards in serious physical condition. Mention was particularly made of the five mon who had en cred a local hospital in Seoul. who had received for three con- secutivc days thirty blows each.

CONN. SOLDIERS EXPOSED BAD FOOD CONDITIONS Driven By Pangs of Hunger to Enlist Outside
 Help. AT U. $. GENERAL
 HOSPITAL NO. l Immediate Protest to War Dept. and Governor
 HoIcomb.

New York Aug. S-Driven by the parss of hunger to enlist outside aS- sistanco. Connecticut soldiers under treatment in the United States Gen eral Hospital No. 1, New York city, have exposed alleged food conditions so serious as to cause Congressman James ?. Glynn of the Fifth Con necticut District to demand imme- diate relief from the War Depart ment. Patients hoping for recovery from dangerous wounds and disease resulting from fierce overseas fight ing, complained that they do not get enough to eat, and that what they do get not only lacks nourishment needed for convalescents but is often unfit for human consumption. Re ported orders to substitute greatly diluted condensed milk for genuine cows milk, the feeding of inferior oleomargurine for butter. tough meat and corn meal mush were complained of to an investigator who visited the men.
 Satisfied by a personal investiga- ton of the soundness of the soldier DAtients, revelations, Senator Clifford e. Hough, of Washington, Conn, laid bare the conditions in letters to Con- gressman Glynn and Gov. Marcus II. Hoicomb of Connecticut with the re- suit that Lieut.-CoL Paul W. Gibson. oomznan ding officer of the hospital. was yesterday in possession of pro- easts sent to the War Department.
 Ten Connecticut Patients.
 There are ten Connecticut soldiers in the hospital of TOO patients and. while 1t was possible to interview only four of them, and Connect- cut nurse-each taken individually their accounts agreed, and were cor roooratsd by nearby patients not from the Nutmeg State.

EUROPE'S NEED MAY LIFT FLOUR
 PRICE TO SIS

New York, Aug. 8 - Here is the wheat and flour situation in a nut shell:
 Damage has reduced the United States yield to s5O.000,0o0 bushels.
 This country needs for its own use 575,000,0OO bushels.
 Europe needs 1,100.0 100000 more than she can produce. but can get along with -750,o0O,00o bushels on pinch.
 In order to make up Europes s needs, America will send all her sur plus. or 275,O0O,0OO. Canada will send 22b.OOO.0OO bushels, and Australia and the Argentine will send 250.00o,- 900 bushels.
 If export control is taken away from, the government. Europe will begin to bid for American wheat and will take so much more than her all 1otment, and at higher prices, that America will not only suffer for lack of wheat, but flour will go to oe least SIS a barrel.

of sudden buying for European ac- count. In 1916 the total exports were $1O0, ,497,137. Shoes were not as high then as they are now. In 1917 ex- ports were $S0,628,659. The drop came in 1918. No one Is prepared to say what will happen when shoeless Germany gets into the market. She is getting nothing now, nor are the other enemy countries.
 Italy has imposed restrictions on leather imports and is getting less than one half of l per cent. of all leather products exported from this country. France is a heavy buyer. getting from the exports 25 per cent. of belting, 23 per cent of the sole leather, 20 per cent. of calf, 16 per cent. of patent, 5 per cent of grain and split, per cent. of all other feathers. She takes 16 per cent, of the exports as a whole.
 The United Kingdom of Great Britain is the heaviest buyer, taking 85 per cent Other countries and the percentage they take are: Scandi- navfa, per cent; Asia, g; Canada, 6; Belgium, 5, Russia and Switzer- land each; the Balkan States. 4 Australia, 2; Arsentina, !. and Cuba 2.

 In this connection it was pointed out that the Department of Justice officials believe that strong public sen timent will back them in demanding jail sentences for those convicted and that no court would feel content to let OH profIteers with a mere fine

time for dinner"
ooh you silly man." squealed Jill.
I'm sure we haven't been gone an
hour. I'm sure 1 can't tell anything
about the shadows, and don't believe
you can either. You're Just trying to
bluff the new wife and make her

They both smiled and with one aC-
cord started to retrace their steps to-
ward the cabin, Jack stopped to gath
er some wild strawberries at Jill's re-
quest. He was quite sure that Jill
would keep her promise about the
watches, so he did not hesitate to per-
nit her to return alone. He wonder
cd whether she would be surprised
when she saw the clock pointing an
hour nearer supper time than she
supposed.
OF course there was this difficulty
that had occurred to Jack wnen he
first formulated his scheme for u.aK-

ment OF the time, which would, Of
course, be rather difficult in the long
run. That was the reason he made
an excuse about going to see the DOS
sum traps that night after dinner. The
lights were out in the cabin, and jill,
tired by her much cooking and the
walk in the woods was peacefully
tucked in the bed.
1t would be an easy matter, he
thought to turn the hands back an
hour and thus bring the rising time
back to normal again. To be sure, It
would make an hour more between
dinner and breakfast than usual, but
the sound sleep and the good appetite
that had come with the mountain air
would render him dead to the ravages
of hunger through the night.
So Jack, without the slightest inten-
tton Of setting possum traps. for their
were no possums and no traps to be
had, walked around the cabin three
times in the moonlight and then noise
lessly went toward the living room
with designs on the clock. But as he
was about to turn the knob he saw

Friday afternoon when II became
known that Clarence Bailey and VIM.
Bunce, two local men who had served
with the First Division in France
and Germany, it was decided to hold
a little welcoming demonstration in
their honor and when the train pulled
into the station there was several
hundred ueople ready to meet them:
The Beldino Band was on hand and
gave the boys several patriotic airs
and then Elwood Rockefeller took
William Bunce in his automobile and
|. l.. Hubbell took Clarence Bailey IN
his automobile and parade was held
the line Of march being from the de-
pot south to Main street and from
there west to Pearl street where the
band played "The Star Spangled Ban
ner" and the boys were then taken
home. Bailey was the first man to
enlist in the army from this city and
Bunce joined shortly after him. The
boys were both glad to get back and
their folks-especially their mothers
God bless them, were just tickled to
death to have their brave boys back
with them again.

Enjoyed Long Motor Trip

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Friedly and
Misses Ida and Lettie hummer, re-
turned Saturday night from a two
weeks motor trip through the east.
They made stops at Toledo, Sandusky
Cleveland, Ashtabula. Niagara Falls
Buffalo, Lockport, Barker, Watkins
Glen and took in all points Of interest
along the route They travelled
along the lake Erie shore drive, over
hundreds of miles of pavements and
through the great oil well and grape
vineyard region. They report
splendid fruit crop all along the line
and while travelling over million
dollar highway, they say they surely
acquired million dollar appetites.
Some of their meals they ate out of
doors but found fairly good hotel ac-
comodations throughout the journey.
The grand and wonderful sights they
saw are beyond words to describe but
they brought back about two hundred
pictures to prove it. and the Ford
Sedan proved its worth by travelling
1900 miles with only one puncture.
In all it was a trip of many interest
ing adventures and much pleasure.

back and he brought suit against them
to collect. The jury saw different and
rendered a verdict where instead he
had to pay something to the Bailey
family. Mrs. Bailey is a daughter
