OPPOSE HEATHEN RULE
Rebels Hope to Make Korea a
Christian Nation.
Proposed New Government viii Be on
American Lines as Far as
Possible.

Washington, April 9.-Dr. Syngman
Rhee, who, according to cable dis
patches from Shanghai, has been
named secretary of state Of a Korean
provisional revolutionary government
established in Manchuria, issued a
statement in which he declared it the
intention of the leaders of the move
ment to make a Christian country out
of Korea, "once it is free of Japan"
This" said the statement, would
make Korea the first independent
country in Asia to become Christian.
Koreans will lot tolerate a heather
autocratic government like that of ia
pan. They have been trained under
American Christian influence, and the
leaders are all imbued with American
democratic ideas. Seven of the eight
members of the cabinet of the pro-
visional government are Christians
and our government will naturally fol-
low the American form as nearly as it
can be done"

A feet of airplanes heralded the APP

escorted by a f1otilla of destroyers and

lutes from the harbor forts, whistles
from welcoming vessels and cheers of

tier and Adriatic Coast Re-
main Chief Obstacles.

Paris, April 9. - The peace
treaty will be ready for signing by
Easter it was announced with GER
tainty. The Paris press was unani-
nous in assuring the public that
final agreement was within reach.
Following so closely the announce
ment of Premier Lloyd George
that terms would be reached by
Easter the statement of Paris
newspapers is looked upon as
probably authentic.
Paris, April 9.-Forty-fiye billion
dollars, of which five billion is to be
the initial payment within two years
after peace, is what Germany, it is esti-
mated, will be required to pay as the
full bill of damages. This, it is be-
lieved, was contained in the report of
the reparations committee to the coun-
Gil of four.
With question of reparations prac-
the Adriatic coast will remain as the
chief obstacles.
Frontiers Considered.
Frontiers are being considered by
Capt. Andre Tardieu, representing
France: Prof. Charles II. Haskins, on
behalf of the United States and Wis
count Morley for Great Britain.
They have not reported to the
Gil, though it is understood they have
agreed on the main principles of effec-
tive security without political annexa-
ton.
Premier Orlando of Italy held an
other conference today with Col. E. M.
House over the Adriatic issue, which
is gradually approaching a settlement,
not however, entirely acceptable to the
Italians concerning Fiume and Dali
malta.
Progress Made.
That progress is being made is indi-
Gated in an announcement that a plen-
airy session of the Peace conference is
to be held Friday, which will be the
first assembling of the full conference
since President Wilson's departure for
the United States some time ago..
The arrival of General SHUTS of the
British delegation in Budapest brings
reports of improved conditions there.
One of the American experts
summed up the situation as follows:
THE chances are favorable to an
agreement, but we have not agreed
yet"
The principles which seems to be
settled are that reparation and res
toration payment is to be spread over
a period of years without a specific
total being fixed.
