Seul, Tuesday, April 1 - (By the Associated Press) - Discussing the Korean instruction today, katsuo Usami, chief of the home affairs de- partment of the Korean government, said the Koreans had two grievances discriminatory treatment and little hope for advancement.
 He declared the Japanese govern ment was seeking to abolN4l discrim- ination but said the Koreans lacked Japanese, and that all bars could not be let down at once. M. Usami ad- mitted that Koreans did not receive the sam wages as were paid Japanese for the same work, but insisted this was due to inferior capacity and that, in addition, the Koreans could live more cheaply than Japanese.
 ''The government was preparing to institute reforms when the uprisings began he said. ''it wants to give Koreans the me chance of advance ment as is accorded the Japanese, and five Korean governors and many district magistrates and councillors have been appointed. Advisory com mittees for cities have been instituted, and the system will he extended to villages for the purpose of establish ing facilities for the people to express their wishes"

German Revolt Could
 Have Been Put Down
Count schuenberg Asserts Enough Troops Were Loyal But Won Hindenburg Would Not Take
 Responsibility.

Berlin. Saturday. April 5-CBy the there was a difference of opinion among German generals as to- the practicabiIity of fighting to maintain the imperial regime in November. Count Schulenberg, commander of guards regiment, maintains in an article on the abdication of Emperor William. published in the F7reiheit, that there were enough loyal troops to have marched on Aix-Ia- a-Chappelle and Cologne and put down the revo- Iution. The count says that Field Marshal von Hindenburg and General Groener, Prussian war minister. would not assume the responsibility for such a move, however, arguing that things had gone 100 far and that only the abdication of former Elm peror William could save the situa- ton. The emperor, he says, was en- phatic in declaring he did not desire a civil war and that he would not call upon the army to engage in such a conflict.
 Internal conditions becoming worse. William at length agreed to Count Schulenberg's advice to abdicate as emperor. but not as king of Prussia. Field Marshal von Hindenburg en- dorsed this course but, in the opinion of General Groener. 1t was too late, although it might have saved the sit uation two weeks earlier. In the
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-04-08

meantime, there came rumors from Berlin of the imminence of civil war and street fighting which actually be- gan there. Finally the imperial chancellor teIegrap pted that civil war might break out at any moment un- less the abdication was announced at once.
 Hurried conferences were held by the emperor, the Crown Prince, and the leading generals, the article says. One of the commanders asserted there was a feeling among the generals that the entire army could not be de- pended upon in case of civil war. To this Count Schuleuberg says he re- piled:
 NO soldier would break his oath to the coIors."
 "The oath to the coIors and the Supreme War Lord Is only an idea" was the rejOinder of General Groener.
 At this moment Admiral von Hintze. the foreign minister, entered with nlenacing message from Ser lin, and tendered his resignation. William then consented to abdicate as emperor, but insisted on retaining his office as king of Prussia and head of the army The imperial chancellor had in the meantime, however, an nounced the abdicatien without wait ing for the emperor's formal decIara- ton,
 Count Schuienberg says that Will Hams flight to Holland was due to pressure brought to bear on him by won Hndenburg and Greener.

A Minute With the
 Income Tax Collector

That the Internal Revenue Col lectors have to use considerable judg- ment and discretion in collection of in discretion in the collection of the in- come tax can be seen by spending a few minutes in their offices in the Federal Building. The matter of de- termlng whether or not q man is q resident or nonresident alien is q source of considera ble worry. This question is determined by the aD- parent disposition of the alien. To say whether or not a man is a resi- dent alien is judged entirely on the aliens actions while in this country. If he is married and his wife is still On the other side of the water he evidently intends to go back to his native land. If he has money in the bank and has bought no prorcrrv nor made no effort to make a home in the United States it is also evident that he intends to go back to the land he Jeff.
