Lower California In 1842

From "A Japanese Log of Mexico edited
 by Stewart Culin, in Asia Magazine.
 This place was called Kabosanroka Cape San Lucas) and was located on the Edna Karihoruniya (Bay of California;, on narrow strip of land at the foot of the mountains near the sea.
 Zensuke and the others stayed here two days and had tea with sugar for break. fast and meat for lunch and dinner On the third day the natives loaded some dried meat and lard oil on a ship of about 200 koku and took the seven Japanese on board as if to send them away. The bottom of this ship which was like European ship, was covered with copper, and the crew consisted of four men. They sailed eastward and arrived at their des- tination on the third day. On their left a strip of white sandy beach stretched to the mountains beyond. Soon after their disembarkation, people who resembled the first ones they had seen landing brought 12 or 13 horses with saddles like those of Japan, made of white wood with silver decorations A groom attended each horse. All the Japanese were made to ride, although some of them were obliged to sit behind. After riding about F or IS cho they arrived at a village of 70 or so houses. which they were told was San Hoze (San Jose) on the Baha Kariho- runiya (Bay of California;, and under the government of Mehiko, (Mexico). Three men who looked like officers were waiting for them at the house at the end of the street. They dismounted and made salutations to the officers and, look ing around lc! they saw Shichitaro and Manzo. Their countrymen told them that the Spanish ship had stopped to get water he1e, left them and gone away. While they were discussing all that had hap pened since they parted and talking about the four comrades who still remained on

A REFLECTION

President Wilson's admirers rejoice that England and France have made known that they agree with him regard ing Plume. It seemed our beloved Presi- dent stood alone in that matter and whs bearing the burden and the blame His paper giving his reason for his position is a wonder of courage and bravery. proof positive that he stands by his con victions of justice and right to all peo- pies, the little as well as great.
 Italy is protected in an ample way while the smaller countries would De penned in and at the mercy of greater power.
 As we read and heard the criticisms abuse, of our President, we could not but think of him as he stood alone battling for justice to our far-off neighbors of n greater figure who had been forsaken by His close friends and followers on His way to Calvary.
 Down with WIson." was the echo of "Crucify him, cruelty him.
 Some of these peoples through short vision and greed, may hurt and wound MT. Wilson, but America must uphold him and bind up the wounds that he re- ceives from other nations.
 To do this is only to be united as greht Christian people
 While we are a free people, freedom is based on truth. justice and love, and as we hold the torch of civilization through Christianity we must stand united on Christian principles and help our great President to- do right. He is trying through faith in the Redeemer to exem- plify the Christ in his dealings with the oppressed-the lesser powers-and it is sad that any American could proclaim fault-fnding, vilfy man who is giving his brain, his, soul, to the great work with which his country trusted him.
 What mortal man could do better under the strain the like of which was never in this world?
 God keep our President and bring him back to his country to continue his good work.

Japanese Plans for Korea
From ''Korea Today by Henry Chung
 in Asia" Magazine.

From sKorea Today" by Henry Chung,
 in Asia" Magazine.
 Full credit and praise should be given the Japanese for whatever good they have done in KoreaS regardless of motives. The all-important question is, does the physical improvement of country com pensate for the loss of primary civil and political rights on the part of a people with distinct history and civilization of it's own?
 The plight of Korea from the Koreans point of view is a sad one. Although the total wealth of the country has been in- creased since the Japanese occupation, the economic status of the Koreans is worse than it was under the old admin istraton. Over 100000 Koreans have emigrated to China and Siberia since Korea became a part of Japan, not so much to avoid the military rule of the Japanese, as to escape the economic pres sure brought upon them by that rule. Korea has an area of S0,000 square miles inhabited by an agricultural population of 17,OOO, ,O00. When the Jananese annexed Korea, they surveyed the country and confiscated all lands belonging to the royal household, to the municipalities and to the Buddhist temples, on the technical ground that since these lands did not be- long to private individuals they must be the property of the government. This sweeping confscation made many thou sands of formerly well-to-do Koreans paupers. The policy of the Tokio gov ernment was to induce large body of Japanese to settle in Korea so that within a decade they should form body strong enough to hold Korea in the event of an armed protest on the part of the Korean people. There were already 3Oo,OOO Japanes in Korea, and the number is increas- ing rapidly The Oriental Colonization company was organized under the direc- tion of the government, supported by an annual subsidy of 5O0,00O yen Cs250,o0o) from the imperial Japanese treasury. It's pur- pose is to promote Japanese colonization to Korea. A Japanese emigrant is given free transportation to Korea, and is pro- yided with a home and piece of land, together with necessary implements and provisions when he gets there. He is ex- pected to pay back to the company in three or four years the equivalent of what he has thus received.

Cannon, writes John H.

The sole duty of this shop was to keep the fighting equipment of this battery on the firing line all the time. The motto was Hand it to them; don't make them come and get it. A mighty good motto for United States service, either in war or peace.
