JAPAN DECLARES
kOREA's EQUALITY
istration Similar to That in
Japan.

Washington Sept l1.-"Korea and
Japan proper, forming equally integral
parts OF the same empire, no distinc-
ton should be made between them,
and 1t Is the ultimate purpose Of the
Japanese government In due course to
| treat Korea as In all respects on the
same footing with Japan proper"
reads, In part, a statement by Premier
Hora. which. with IAN imperial rescript
announcing the adjustment Of mill
tary administration in Korea, was re-
ceived by the Japanese embassy re-

whether politically, socially. or other
wise. 1t is added that the govern
ment will adopt in Korea eventually
system of provincial and municipal
administration similar to that in oper-
auon in Japan proper.
me system of gendarmery in Korea
is 10 be replaced by force of police
TO be placed under the control of local
governors just as in Japan proper.
1t Is stated that the disturbances
which broke out in Korea last March
retarded the introduction of the re-
forms.
We have ever made 1t our aim to
promote the security and welfare OF
our territory of Korea and to extend
to the native population of that terri
tory as our beloved subjects a fair
and impartial treatment in all re-
spccts, to the end that they may.
without distinction of persons, lead
their lives in peace and in content
ment. We are persuaded that the stage
or development at which the general
situation has now arrived. calls for
certain reforms in the administrative
organization of the government-gen-
eral OF Korea, and we issue our i'm
perial command that such reforms be
put into operation.
The measures thus taken arc
sorely designed to facilitate the work
ing OF administration and to secure
good and enlightened government in
pursuance OF our settled policy and in
| fulfilment OF the altered requirements
OF the country. Especially in view of
the termination of the war in Europe
| and of rapid changes in the affairs of
! the world. we consider 1t highly de-
sirable that every effort should be
! made for the advancement OF the ma
tional resources and the being of
the people. We call upon all the
public functionaires concerned to ex-
erctse their best endeavors in obedi-
ence of our wishes, in order that a
| benign rule may be assured to Korea,
and that the people, diligent and
| happy In attentng to their respective
vocauons, may enjoy tho blessings Of
! peace and contribute to the growing
! prosperity of the country

conjectural, but the sequence of
events Is significant.
All that lis necessary for the men to
obtain permission to return to duty Is
for police Commissioner Curtis to
change his mind--er for the governor
to change it for him. This is easily
susceptible OF accomplishment. as to-
days events proved. especially since
the governor possesses arbitrary
power OF removal.
On one point the governor lis set.
and 1t is reported, will not weaken.
The grip Of the American Federation
OF Labor upon the Boston police force
must be destroyed, in his Judgment,
because it is dangerous for city to
be at the mercy of an outside organ
ization Every step he has taken has
been with that in view. He Is OF the
opinion that. even the peace of the
city may be endangered temporarily to
achieve that and prevent a recurrence
of the hazard Of greater dimensions.
SENTIMENT WITH GOVERNOR
Public sentiment in the city Is with
the governor TO the finish. The peo-
pie appear to believe that the right
of labor to organize government en-
ployes must be fought out. They
seem not altogether displeased that
historic Boston has been selected for
the opening clash.
Boston believes the governor will
find a way out of the difficulty that
will sustain the city's honor without
bringing on a general strike.
Tonight the governor reiterated
that he considered the police action
a desertion OF duty and not a strike.
But he softened this when he added

DIVORCE ACTIONS
 ARE CONTINUED

Although Margaret Lazicka of this city testified before Judge Greene yesterday numerating the many cruel ties committed against her by her be of parts unknown the court re- fused to proceed with the action until husband is not in the army. The woman testified that for lengthy periods the husband refused to speak to her and that on these occasions he often struck her.
 The couple were married in Rome N. Y, in 1912, and came to this city in 1915. He never treated me right after we came to Bridgeport" de- clared the wife. A witness for the woman and a former friend of the husband testified that he heard La zicka remark on one occasion, Ut S all of; I won't live with her again. I don't love her and I don't want to live with her"
 | Another divorce case continued by Judge Greene for further proof of the existence of one of the parties was that of Gabriel Sipos of this city Sipos claims that he has received a messa pe from his mother in Austria ] in which he. is informed that his wife sas died. Another relative came tc i this country and claimed the wife was alive.

PLANS STARTED
 ON VICTORY LOAN

Preliminary plans in preparation for
 the Victory Liberty Loan campaign in
 April were made at a meeting of the
 women of the Second Federal Reserve
 district held in New York yesterday. Mrs. William T. Hincks of this city, chairman of the Bridgeport Women's s committee, attended the conference
 and reported that there were no present. Benjamin Strong, governor of the Federal Reserve bank, and Dr. George F. Vincent, president of the Rockefeller Foundations, both spoke on the need of the coming campaign. Mrs. Hincks is confident that the wo- men in Bridgeport will be as earnest in the present drive as in previous ones and that the labor conditions will not hinder the cause.

ANNUAL CAMPAIGN
 FOR GOOD CAUSE

The annual financial campaign for funds for the Bridgeport Protective association to carry on it's work for the coming year has begun and an appeal is sent out to the public to send in generous subscriptions Ten thousand dollars are needed to con- tinue the work which has proved of great benefit in the city to girls and women who seek help at the associa- tion when stricken with poverty, sick ness, or find themselves unemployed
 The association maintains a home at 754 Myrtle avenue to which girls may come for rest, advice, compan- 1onship, instruction and encourage ment. Through the corporation with other organizations in the city, the Bridgeport Protective association has been great aid during the past five years, and its sole support is looked forward to from the public.
 Donations may be sent in to Mrs. Walter S. Wilmot, chairman of the membership committee, sos Stratford avenue.

MRS. LIVINGSTON
 AT Y. ". [. \,

Mrs. Deborah Knox Livingston. who is to z-.cSS--11l under the auspices of the Business Womens Club at the '. ". c. A. at i o'clock on Sunday afternoon, is one of the well known women speakers of the country. She has for some time been field super intendent of the suffrage department of the National W. c. T. L., but does not confine her interest 10 this one organization, being actively identified with many other movements which look to the advancement of women.
 She speaks from first hand knowl- edge of the girl in industry, her working conditions, her contribution to society. her ambitions and her needs. Her address on Sunday. Women as Factors in the Recon struction," will cover in a general way, as the topic suggests, the whole realm of womens service in the pres ent crisis, with special emphasis on her place in the program for indus trial and economic reconstruction.
 A musical program by Mrs. c. H. Platt, soprano; Mrs. A. G. Mauette, contralto, and MT. Lorenzo P. Oviatt, tenor, will precede Mrs Livingston's s address. Miss Rose House. president of the Business Women's club, will preside at the meeting, and following the program the club will serve after noon tea, giving all who desire an op- portunity to meet Mrs. Livingston. The meeting is open to the public.

On the other side of the canvas walls, Gerty Hardin lay listening to the message meant for her. The f1ckle sex, he had called hers; no constancy in woman, he had declared, fOndling her hair. He had tried to coax her into pledges, pledges which were also disavowals to the man outside.
 Silver threads! Age shuddered at her threshold. She hated that song. Cruel, life had been to her; none of it's promises had been kept. To be happy, why, that was a humans birthright ]; grab it, that was her creed! :, There was a chance yet; youth had not gone. He was singing it to her, her escape
 "Darling, you will be,
 Ever young and fair to me"
 Godfrey, singing to Gerty Hardin, had awakened the camp. Innes, in her tent, too, was listening.
 Darling, you will be,
 Ever young and fair to mel"
 So that is the miracle, that wild rush of certain feeling! Yesterday, doubting, tomorrow, more doubts-but tonight, the song, the night isolated them, herself and Rickard, into a world of their own. Life with him on any terms she wanted.

Not one of those who 1abored or
 watched would ever forget that night.
 The spirit of recklessness entered
 even into the stoIid native. The men
 of the Reclamation forgot this was not
 their enterprise; the Hardin faction
 jumped to Richards orders. The
 watchers on the bank sat tense,
 thrilled out of recognition of aching muscles, or the midnight creeping chill. No one would go home.
 To Innes, the struggle was vested in two men, Rickard running down wonder with that light foot of his, and Hardin with the fighting mouth tense. And somewhere, she remembered,
 working with the rest, was Estrada. Those three were fighting for the justi- ficatiOn of a vision-an idea was at stake, hope for the future.
 Rickard passed and repassed her. And had not seen heri Not during those hours would he think of her, not
 until the idea failed, or was trium-
 phant, would he turn to look for her. Visibly, the drama moved toward it's climax. Before many hours passed the river would be captured or the idea forever mocked. Each time a be1ching engine pulled across that hazardous track 1t flung a credit to the man-side. Each time the waters, slowly rising, hurled their weight against the creak- ing trestles where the rock was thin, a point was gained by the militant riv- CT. Its roar sounded like the last cry of a wounded animal in Innes' ear :; the Dragon was a reality that night as it spent it's rage against the shackles of puny men.
 Molly Silent had seen her husbands train pull in. She watched for it to go out again. The whistle blew twice. Something was wrong. She left her place in time to see Silent, his face

ARCANUM LODGE, fl. I. o. O. F,

The degree team of Arcanum lodge worked the beautiful init.atory degree in an excellent manner last evening before a large attendance of members and visitors who came from New Ha- ven and Stamford. Next week the firsl and second degrees will be conferred. On March 21 the lodge will welcome the officers and members of Polar Star lodge of New Haven, who will exemplify the initiatory degree.
