Wilson Predicts a
Quick Agreement

The text of President Wilson $
statement follows:
In view of the fact that the
questions which must be settled
IN the peace with Germany have
been brought so near a complete
solution that they can now quick
ly be put through the final process
of drafting, those who have been
most constantly in conference
about them have decided to ad-
wise that the German plenipoten-
tiaries be invited to meet the
representatives of the associated
belligerent nations at Versailles
on the 25th of April.
This does not mean that the
many other questions connected
with the general peace settlement
will be interrupted or that their
consideration, which has long
been under way, will be retarded.
On the contrary, it is expected
that rapid progress will now be
made with these questions, so
that they may also presently be
expected to be ready for final
settlement.

of the way at the same time that

Germany, Responsible,
Must Pay Damages

In view of the fluctuations
through which the negotiations have
passed, an authoritative statement
was obtained to-day concerning the
final terms Of the settlements. This
sums up the conditions as follows:
Germany is at the outset held
generally responsible for losses and
damages in accordance with the
Presidents fourteen points and the
Allied response at the time the ar
mistice was concluded. To deter
mine the extent of the payment un-
der this responsibility commission
is set up to take testimony, assem-
BILE data and arrange all details Of
the payments from the enemy and
distribution among the Allied and
associated powers.
While the commission will admin
lister the details of the payments,
sufficient is known to permit the de-
termination that an initial payment
will be required of 20,0O0,O00,00o
gold marks, payable in two years
without interest. 1t has also been
determined that 40,000,000,000
gold marks shall be payable in
bonds extending over a period of
thirty years, beginning 1921, with
sinking fund beginning in 1926.
These 4O,OOO,0O0,O0o marks draw
21s per cent interest from 1921 to
1926, and S per cent interest after
1926.

SAN FRANCISCO, April ID (By The
Associated Press). - Four American
missionaries in Seoul, capital of Corea,
have been arrested by the Japanese in
connection with the Corean revolution,
according to information received here
to-day by the Rev. David Lee, general
manager of the Corean National Asso-
citation branch here.
The missionaries arrested were
DR.. John Thomas, DR.. C. R.. Avison, DR..
j. I. Ludlow, and DR.. J. w. Hirst, ac-
cording to the information made public
by the Rev. David Lee. The information
was first received by Mrs Fawns, of
Wilmore, KY, daughter of the Rev. DR..
Thomas.
WASHINGTON, April IA Toxic
dispatch to the State Department re-
ports that gendarmes took from the
Severance Hospital at Seoul, an insti-
tuition maintained by Americans, three
Corean patients suffering gunshot
wounds inflicted by the police.
Surgeons Protest Not Needed
A surgeon protested vainly against
the action of the police. The superin-
tendent of police charged the prisoners
were criminals and that the action of
the gendarmes was in accordance with
the law
This incident took place last Thurs
day, the dispatch from Toxic having
been delayed because Of Pacific cable
conditions. The State Department has
ordered an investigation of the Incl
dent.
SEOUL, Wednesday, April 9 (By The
Associated Press. - Corean indepen-
dence agitation continues in the prov
lnces. The Japanese are repressing it
severely, with the result that there
have been many additional casualties.
Seoul is quiet.
Representations to the japanese
authorities by l.. A. Bergholz, the
American Consul General here, against
Japanese in civilian dress carving
clubs, have had good effect. Foreign
ers have been assured by the police
that all such persons have been or
dered off the streets.
Missionary in Prison
Dispatches from Pyeng Yang, North
Corea, under this date, say that the
Rev. Eli M. Mowry, of Mansfield, Ohio.

who was arrested by the Japanese on
charge that he permitted the use of
his premises in the furtherance of the
Corean independence campaign, is held
IN prison there and is we'll treated. He
has been permitted to see his wife.
The report that DR.. Ansel W. ellis.
of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, was arrested
by the Japanese was, it is learned, un-
founded. He was not arrested, although
his home was searched by the Japanese.

Afterward his body was riddled
with bullets and dragged through
the streets.
Conditions are, quieter Monday
