more in harmony with the cabinet
determined Intervention of the ad-
visory council on diplomatic affalrs,
says the Toxic newspaper Nichi Nichi
This is the body of distinguished
Jauanese which was appointed two
wears ago by the emperor to ADVISE
the cabinet on matters pertaining TO
national policy and relations with
foreign countries.
The newspaper says that the diplo-
matte council has used its influence
to restrain the army. especially IN
the publication of reports bearing on
diplomacy. 1t had been the custom OF
the general staff Of the Japanese
army to issue reports concerning not
only military affairs. but also on mat
tiers touching the diplomatic and po-
litical situation This practice. 1t Is
understood, has very often embar-
raised the foreign office. Some OF
these military reports concerned the
American Army in Siberia.
In this connection it is to be re-
marked that the influence of the mill
tary group in Japan is very powerful
throughout the empire Since the re-
cent friendly address of Gen. Tanaka,
the war minister, at a luncheon given
in honor of Roland S. Norris, the

APPEAL COURT IN KOREA
HEARS MISSIONARY PLEA
Sustains Jail Sentence, But Re
duces Term From Six to Four
Months.

PYENG YANG. Korea. May 10 Cor
respondence of the Associated Press).-
That the accused did not know he
was sheltering agitators was one Of
the main points in the defense of Rev.
E. NJ. Mowry of Mansfield. Ohio. who
appealed from a sentence of six
months in the lower court for having
harbored Korean leaders, and whose
case was heard in the appeal court of
Pyeng Yang. He was defended by
DR.. S. Uzawa, prominent lawyer of
Toxic. assisted by three barristers
from Seoul and Pyeng Yang.
Answering questions put to him by
the judge. Mr.. Mowry denied knowl-
edge of, or participation in. the agi-
tation scheme planned by students
of Sungsil University. He admitted
that he gave shelter at his house to
vi Posik and four other Koreans, but
denied that he so protected them be-
cause of knowing that they were
wanted by the police in Connection with
the agitation. He had admitted them
simply out of compliance with their
request as they were his pupils or
employees.
Public Procurator Mitsui argued
that the point of the present case was
aware that the Koreans he gave shell
ter to were offenders liable to legal
punishment heavier than a fine.
Refuting this argument, DR.. Uzawa
said that the allegation that the de-
PENDANT was aware Of the fact that
the Koreans were wanted by the po-
lice was not fully established. Ac-
cording to his personal investigation,
the room in which the defendant gave
them shelter was his study, and was
one nearest to the road, so it was in
full view from the outside.
The appeal court sentenced Rev.
Mr.. Mowry May IS to four months in
prison. He appealed to the highest
court.

Of the tendency of the military in

in recent appointment of Baron Con-

What the War Cost q. S.

Summarizing the chapter on war
costs Col. Ayres says:
The war cost the United States
considerably more than S1.000,000 an
hour for over two years.
The direct cost was about $22, 000,-
100000, or nearly enough to pay the
entire cost of running the United
States government from 1871 to the
outbreak of the European war.
Our expenditure in this war was
sufficient to have carried on the rev.
dictionary war continuously for more
than 1000 years at the rate of ex-
penditure which that war actually in
volved.
tn addition TO this huge expendi-
ture nearly $4,000. 900, 900 have been
loaned by the United States to the
allies.
The Army expenditures have been
over $4,000. zoe. 600 or nearly two
thirds Of our total war costs, nearly
equal the va sc of all the gold pro-
ruced in the whole world from the
discovery Of America TO the outbreak
OF the European war.
