LIsERTY-DoRoTHY DALTON

DOUGLAS, May Elf this had happened on your wedding night
 Never had she looked so radiantly beautiful; she had just promised to love, honor and obey. The laughing crowd pursued them into the street, vertically deluging them with rice; all the world seemed in tune-it was the happiest moment of his life. Accepting congratulations on all sides, for an instant he was separ- ated from his adorable bride. He followed her into the waiting limou- sine and they were whirled away.
 He turned to embrace her and found himself staring into the mug gle of revolver in the hands of his wife's maid.
 And while all New York wondered, the most hated man in the world, the Kaiser-smiled!

LAPS MASSACRE MANX
 KOREANS IN CHURCH
(Conttnued from page Four

Continued from page Four
 They were mostly women, some old, others young mothers with babies but all sunk in the dull apathy of abject misery and despair. MT. Underwood an American missionary who talked to them in their ow1I language, brought the story of what had happened.
 "The day before we arrived soldiers came to the village and ordered all the male Christians to gather at the church. When about 30 were in the church the soldiers opened fire on them with rifles and then entered the church and finished them with swords and bayonets. Afterwards they set fire to the church and to houses which otherwise would not have been burned"
 l, One Korean told the correspondent he was alive because he was not a Christian and was not in the church. Later when the correspondent made 8 second trip to Cheam-ni, with MT. Royds, the British consul and a party of seven including several mission aries, he said, i've photographed freely without interference but when we started to talk to the natives a policeman would saunter up and the Korean would freeze up.' They were in fear of what might happen later if they were seen talking to us.'
 The party, however, divided up and obtained many interviews concerning the story as the correspondent learned it on his first visit. They were told that two of those killed in or near the church were women who went to that building to learn what was happening to their husbands.
 The party headed by the British consul then visited Soochun and found the village had been burned. The kor- cans told the visitors that they were awakened in the night by finding their homes on fire. When they ran out they were struck with swords, and bayon- eted or shot. None were killed but several were wounded, and we saw one man whose arm had been laid open with a sword. A church and thirty houses had been burned here but no attempt had been made to clean up the others.
 The Rev. Stacy l.. Roberts an American Presbyterian missionary sta toned at Pyeng Yang has issued statement asserting that more than 100 Koreans were shot or beaten to death in Tyung-ju and church there was burned by Japanese.
 In another village eight miles away another Christian church and aGScad.
