KOREANS DEMAND
EQUAL TREATMENT
WITH JAPANESE

SEOUL, Korea.-At a conference
of representative Koreans which was
summoned by Governor General
Saito to discuss the question of re-
forms, the Koreans submitted a list
of nineteen requests. Generally
speaking, the Koreans demand equal
treatment with the japanese.
The list of reforms urged in
cludes the establishment of city
councils in each town and district
in preparation for future self-gov-
eminent; frequent meetings of 10
reans from the various provinces SO
that the people may exchange views;
compulsory primary education, with
Koreans given the same instruction
as japanese; freedom of speech,
meetings, and publications; abolish
ment of the colonization policy, and
imperial pardon for participants in
the recent disturbances.
The Koreans further asked that
all state lands, formerly owned by
the people, be sold to Koreans; that
the land appropriation law be abol-
ished; that absolute equality be
shown in the enforcing of all regu-
lations; that Koreans and japanese
be employed in equal numbers in
the government service. and that
the censorship of the people be
abolished.
! Finally, the Koreans requested
that an investigation be made into
the doings of the land investigation
bureau, and that land be returned
to the original owners in cases
where the title had been taken away
! because of noncompliance with GER,
tain laws which should now be re.

THE BATTLE OF
 THE WILDERNESS.

The boys who have returned from
 France may have their stories of
 victory to tell, but the tales of their
 valor and of terrific struggling can
 be matched by their elders who fought in the battle of the Wilder ness, just fifty-fve years ago today. It was on May 5, 1884, that the des- perate conflict commenced, with the F'ederals under Grant opposed to the
 Confederates under Lee. The lat ter had only 60,O00 able troops with which to oppose the 100000 men under Grant and Meade. On the fourth of Hay the Union army cross ed the Rapidan, and the following day the issue was joined. For sheer,
 desperate and determined ferocity this battlel which lasted two days, has seldom been equaIled in the his tory of warfare between civilized na-
 tions. The terrible slaughter was indecisive and both sides claimed the victory. Later, however, Grant be- gan flanking movement around Lees right, and the latter gradual ly retired toward Spottsylvania. The
 Federal losses during the two days of conflict amounted to 1S,0OO men, or nearly a fifth of those engaged, while
 the Confederate loss of 11,0O0 was
 about the same percentage of Lees
 army.
 The battlefield of the Wilderness
 remains today, fifty-fve years after,
 very much as it was left by the con-
 tending armies, except for tablets
 and monuments and cemeteries to
 be found scattered here and there throughout the thicket. Many grim relics may be found on the field
 fragments of shells, bullets, pieces
 of broken rifles, etc.
 The Wilderness is we'll named, for in many parts it is still a tangIe of trees and brush and vines and briers and shrubbery. White monuments
 gleam here and there in the un- derbrush, marking the last resting place of some hero who, 'in the heat of battle, in the roar of conflict found the serenity of death" Oaks and pines bear the scars of battle l and stumps of other trees which were wounded to their death by the battering of the cannon still abound in the Wilderness.
 The human abodes scattered about the Wilderness of today are mostly tin cottages or novels, but their sur roundings and associations lend them a certain gradeur of simplicity. In the national cemeteries there are long and orderly rows of tablets, and graves that are covered with wild flowers There are clearings here and there where the Wilderness is giving way to the peaceful on- slaughts of man. In the not distant future, no doubt, the Wilderness and it's scars will be wiped out and the field made memorable by Mars will | be dedicated to the goddess of fe-- tility.

CLEMENCY FOR NEGROES?
Crowder Promises Review of Case In
voIving Houston Riots.

Judge Advocate General Crowder
has promised to have the case of the
negroes who were convicted by court
martial of completely in the Houston
riot in November, 1917, reviewed by
the clemency board at Washington, ac-
cording to Elisha Scott, one of the
Topeka attorneys for the defense of
the men, and Nick Chiles, president of
the Kansas Defense society. The re-
view of the evidence, which will be
for the purpose of determining
whether any of the men are being IL
legally held, may take place at any
time now, according to local authori-
ties.
Forty-one of the negroes are now
serving time in the federal peniten-
tiary at Leavenworth. There is also
pending, before Judge John Pollock
in the federal court, habeas corpus
proceedings brought by the Kansas
Defense society to obtain the release
of the former troopers on the ground
that their Imprisonment is unconsti-
tutional. This case will come up in
Kansas City next month, it is expect
ed, according to Chiles
