MARRIED WOMEN BRING CHARGE OF
 DISCRIMINATION

The charge of discrimination against married women seeking to retain positions as teachers of Bridge ports public schools will get an air ing before a meeting of the Board of Education which will be held Monday night.

 Supt S. J. Slawson Is commenting on the situation makes the state ment that 1t Is not the policy of the Board of Education to keep married women on the list of permanent teachers, but to give such of them as desire it, the opportunity to fill va cancies and do substitute work

ST. LOUIS PAPER
 CELEBRATES ITS
 111TH MILESTONE

Sunday will mark the 111th mile stone in the career of the venerable St. Louis Republic, the oldest news paper west of the Mississippi. The Republic was launched on July IS, 1908, but at first was called the Re publican. The issue was about eight by twelve inches in size, but was quite large enough to chronicle the news of the rude little frontier village in which 1t was published. Among other prominent North American Journals that have passed the age that entities them to be called cen tenarians are the New York Globe, New York Evening Post, Philadel- phia North American, Hartford Cour- ant, Montreal Herald. Montreal Gaeztte, Bridgeport Farmer. Augusta, Ga, Chronicle, Albany Argus, Boston Advertiser, Baltimore American, Elizabeth Journal, Utica Herald Despatch. Cincinnati CommercialTri- bune, Columbus Journal, Pittsburgh Gazette-Times, Charleston News and Courier, Williamsport Gazette and Bulletin, Rutland Herald, and Hali- fax Acadian Recorder. This is an impressive list.

EXPECT VETO
 ON DAYLIGHT
 SAVING REPEAL Association Officer Says Wilson Will So Act If
 Protest Is Strong. OUTLOOK NOW
 LOOKS HOPEFUL Thousands of Protests Should Be Forwarded to
 the President.

New York, July 12-William A. Ferguson, secretary of the National Daylight Saving Association, an nounced last night that concerted ac- tion by advocates of daylight saving would result in President Wilson's S ~etoing the repeal.
 We have received advices from Washington, said MT. Ferguson, that President Wilson is holding up the agricultural appropriation bill because of the daylight saving repeal rider attached to it. In the mean time, thousands of protests against the repeal are pouring into Washing ton.
 But thousands of more protests should be forwarded to the President By wire and letter the citizens should protest against the repeal. It has been rightly termed one of the most strik- ing examples of vicious Legislation that has ever been attempted in Con gress.
 "At the behest of a small minority the daylight repeal passed Congress. We are convinced it would never have done so had it been presented as g separate measure. But a rider to one of the most needed appropria- tions, 1t secured the votes of many from the suburban districts who felt
 
 ed they vote they did.
 President Wilson must also know that the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, which present. ed the repeal bill. stood, if all voted II to 10 against the repeal. Unfortu- nately, when the vote was taken in committee, three of those in favor of daylight saving were absent, so the repeal was reported in, 10 to s.
 we know that more than S500,- 000,0O0 worth of foodStuffs has been produced by amateur gardeners, who tended their crops after their days work in the shop, factory, store or ofhce-all through the daylight saving law.
 And the measure has been indorsed by the medical fraternity of the na ton as conducive to the well being of the people.
 The extra hour of light has re- leved eye strain attendant on work ing under artificial light, and it has given millions opportunity for exer- else in the sunlight after the days work is done.
 These are but a. few of the many daylight benefits. Opposed to the law are the grain magnates of Kansas. Other objections appear to come from the miners, who complain they are forced to get up too early. But their objections are so easily met it Is a grave injustice to repeal a law ninety millions want.
 Therefore, let me again appeal to everyone who favors daylight saving to send an earnest protest to Presi- dent Wilson. Concerted action will most assuredly. be needed"

FIRE AND SWORD USED
 BY LAPS TO KILL OFF:
 CHRISTIANS jN KOREA
(Continued from Page One)

Form of shameful treatment mild CT punishment, it is said, included 90 blows ratned upon the prisoners body with a bamboo rod and many boot kicks, at the end of which the vic- tim, if he survived, was sent almost lifeless to a hospital.
 One such victim, "a slender, tiinid, christian youth" 19 years old, em- ployed by a shoemaker, was arrested with wealthy Korean, both charged with circulating the Independ ent News, a revolutionary publication The boy, it is said, was tortured and hovered between life and death in a hospital for more than a month be- fore he was sent to prison. For six hours he had been "grilled' by Japa- nese gendarmes, after which the in- quisitors applied rings above the youths elbows until the upper body was greatly distorted the usual pre- paration for beating) whereupon blows and kicks were administered until the victim fell, fainting to the floor" He was revived at intervals by cold water dashed upon his naked body, and the punishment repeated.
 The narrator of this alleged ep1- sode, who says he afterwards visited the victim at the hospital, declares he saw lone of four wounds, each five lncneS long. on lIe yOulH lIiSH, which had been scared with a red hot iron A wound in the abdomen, it Is reported. appeared to have been made by bayonet. The victim 8 hands were swollen almost twice their natural size The prisoners told his benefactor tha the pleaded with his tormentors to kill him.
 A signed statement by an Ameri- can resident in Korea. dated April 2, 1919, said that "the examination of women who have been arrested for their activity in the independence movement is the most disgrac ceful and humiliating possible. Korean and Chinese women," he added, ''have the same feelings of delicacy as Eu Japanese of either sex" He accuses the Japanese of taking advantage of this situation to increase the distress of women prisoners forced to undergo examination by the police and says cultured and refined Korean women were subjected to the grossest indig- mites. They were> humiliated and ex- hib;ted to the public gaze, he de- clares.
 Respectable women iii one part of Korea were not safe in their homes during the day, the report continues, and so were forced to spend most of their time as refugees in the hills, returning to their homes at night. The Japanese police designated all

WAR PRISONERS TRY ESCAPE BY
 EARTH TUNNEL

Sydney, Australia, June f. (Corres- pondence of The Associated Press)- Several hundied Germans and Aus trians made an attempt to escape by tunnelling from the Ho1dsworthy concentration camp here recently in order to foil the purpose of the Aus traIian authorities to send them back to Germany and Austria
 The military authorities had prev 1ously notified the interned Teutons that they were soon to be returned to their native countries. Shortly before they were to be taken out the inter ment camp, the authorities discover ed a tunnel 150 feet long which led from one of the barracks underneath the fence enclosing the camp and thence to the surface outside. The tunnel was the work of about 150 men and apparently was begun as soon as the prisoners received warn ing of intention to send them back home. They had planned to break free from the camp on the night be- fore the salIing of the steamer for England.
 Earth removed from the tunnel had been so distributed around the camp that it was not noticed until the tunnel was almost completed
 When the tunnel was discov- cred the Germans made a hostile demonstration but the guards SUD- pressed it. The prisoners watched with chagrin the filling in of the tun- nel.

women who favored the independence of their land as social outcasts and denounced them in revolting terms. When arrested some of them, it is charged, were tortured. One such case. which was cited, referred to a Christian woman whose arm was said to have been wrenched from the socket by her prosecutors.
 Towns where Japanese soldiers are declared to have committed excesses and burned churches and dwellings, are Suchone and Tyunkju in north Pyongan province, and 13 other mis- sionary towns. Protests against such acts were lodged with the Japanese governor general by an American vice consul and a. British acting con sul, one of whom had visited a ruin ed village. The governor general admitted the offense, 1t Is stated.
 Testimony regarding these affairs was quoted from a, Tokio newspaper. It purported to describe scenes of ruin and devastation. Hundreds of families were said to be destitute The investiga tors, according to the report, were told by an aged Korean survivor how all the christians of the village had been forced to enter the church. the women being ex- cIuueu, WIleleupou lile SCluleIS start ed a massacre, sparfng only women and children. After the fifteen will Ia ges had been reduced to ashes, the report goes on, a. number of Korean and Japanese newspapers attributed the incendiarisn to some of the mis- sionaries and their converts. Others accused the Shuntokio, a sen1i-politi- cal. semi-religious organization.
 The Chosen Shi1nbun of March r.. 1919. is quoted as saying: The stir ring up of the minds of the Koreans is the work of the American mission aries. This uprising is their work |" There are a good many shallow-1nind- ed people among the missionaries They make the minds of the Koreans bad and plant the seeds of democ- racy"
 Ln conclusion, after publishing what are alleged to be violently anti-Amer- ican articles from certain Japanese newspapers, the report of the Presby- terian investigators says: Ut Is un- necessary to say more. These arti- cles speak for themselves. The reader can judge of the attitude of the press when the governor permits such stuff to be printed. As the press always is under the censor here, when such stuff is printed, the government be comes morally responsible. The truth Is prohibited. F'alsehoods and Hbels are allowed Such a course of action only endanger the relations of the governments concerned
