Guns. IN Korea.

VI
Two American women were beaten
with the butt end of a rifle. swung
by japanese soldier. in the revo-
lutionary outbreak in Korea.
This news was made public here
yesterday at the American head
quarters OF the provisional govern
ment of the republic of Korea. 1t
came to the United States in a let
ter. which eluded the japanese CEN
sorship. 1t was entrusted to a
traveller bound for America The
letter was written by a New York
woman, well known in New York
City literary circles before she went
to the Orient as a missionary teach
er and nurse. The letter was re-
eeived by Mrs. + Ii Bomprey, of
Flushing. L. l.. who turned II over
to DR.. Syngman Rhee. secretary of
state of the Korean provisional gov
ernment.
The American women assaulted by
the Japanese soldier were a Mrs.

their way to our hospital. They
turned to go back in obedience to
the guards command and he struck
them both in the back with the butt
of his gun. Be assured the news
was reported to the Consul. who is
doing all in his power in the whole
affair"
Gives Graphic Picture.
The letter gives a graphic picture
of the means taken by the Japanese
to put down the revolution. which
was fomented by the Koreans with
out force of arms. The writer says
the plan on the part of the revolu-
tionists was simply to make a de-
mOnstration in Seoul in front of the
old palace and the various legations
in the hope they would be given a
hearing at the Peace Conference.
THE leaders, says the letter,
would. of course, he imprisoned. but
they were willing to become martyrs.
The students. male and female. of the
government and the mission schools,
demanded the same privileges as the
Japanese have. Ever so many Of
them. bows and girls. are in prison
which they also expected. What they
did not court on was the brutal treat
Tnent OF ghe police. soldiers in some
fired into the
crowds and killed and wounded ever
50 many. DR.. FalwelFs hospital is
full' of them TWO died, one has had
10 have an arm amputated from the
shoulder. and one a leg. School girls
were tied to telephone poles and
fiogged.
Christians in the jails are being
tied to crosses and beaten after being
stripped of their clothing. Churches
are baiug-looted. Bibles burned, and
there is an attempt to crush Chris
uanity. OF course. the Christians
went in TO do their bit along with
the rest. and will have to take the
consequences. but ii IS hard to see
them so roughly handled
According to the letter. the Koreans
had planned their uprising n year and
a half i'm advance. although none OF
the foreigners was aware of this fact.

Lieutenant Belvin Maynard, a pastor
was the first to complete the epoch

Wednesday, and arrived at the Presi-
dio, San Francisco, at 1913 p. m, Sat

Major Carl Spatz, soldier, was the
second to finish. He left San Francis
CO at 1854 a. M, Wednesday, and ar
rived at Roosevelt field at 1885 p. M,
Saturday. His elapsed time was 80

Lieutenant E. C. Kiel, a school
teacher, completed the journey from
San Francisco to Roosevelt field only
20 seconds behind Spatz. He left
three minutes earlier
The result was a great victory for
the Liberty engine. Maynard Spatz
and Kiel piloted De Haviland Fours,
equipped with that type of engine, de-
veloping 400 horsepower. Their ma
chimes were capable of making 100
miles an hour, but this speed was
greatly exceeded several times under
favorable wind conditions. Maynard
averaged 1051a miles an hour for the
entire route.

STATE BOUNDARY DIS
TE-NEARS SETTLEMENT

Wisconsin is at present involved in
boundary disputes with two adjoining
sister states While neither of these
disputes is of serious character, each
involves cities that lie adjacent to or
upon boundary lines and are therefore
relatively more important than some of
the similar controversies that have aris-
Ell in the past One controversy affects
titles to a strip of land which includes
the city of Hurley in Iron County, while
the other relates to the boundary be-
tween Wisconsin and Minnesota in the
SuperiOr-Duluth area. The latter is at
present receiving most attention and
for several months has engaged the at
tention of the attorney general of Wis
consin. Those engaged on the case have
utilized many rare and valuable records
preserved i'll the State Historical Lii
brary.
Boundary disputes have often arisen
over the shifting of river beds, but such
shiftings have usually been on the part
of the rivers themselves. The present
controversy between Wisconsin and

waters through the agency of man. In
the Wisconsin enabling act of 1916 the
boundary between the two states was
fixed by line drawn through the mid
die of Lake Superior to the mouth of
the ST. Louis River and up the channel
of this river to certain Indian village.
While there has long been more or less
dispute and litigation as to the exact
boundary line, the question has become
acute since 1913 when the government
cut a new channel for the st. Louis
River so as to form a straighter line.
The Wisconsin contention is that this
action creates a new channel and aban-
dons the old line. AS docks have now
been built over the old line, the issue
involves millions from the standpoint
of taxation. The dock companies are
now paying taxes to both states-to
Wisconsin under protestant natural
~ want the question Of the exact bound
airy settled.

PHONE NO. 2

LadySmith's streets are now daily
thronged with people and the city was
surely never as busy as it is now.
Stores and shops have about all the
trade they can satisfactorily handle
and with new buildings springing up
III many parts of the city, it is evident
that Ladysmith's steady growth is not
to be stopped even by the prevailing
high prices of all building materials.
Ladysmith really looks like a city in
all save one respect-its streets In
that particular, Ladysmith certainly is
a back woods village.

st and FirSt-St. through the center part
of the city at least, should be paved
next year, for without that improve
ment our claims to having an up-to-date
city have a very shallow foundation,
for this day and age.
AS to the cost, increased business for
every place along the streets paved
would more than pay the small annual
installments and pay good interest on
the investment.
If Ladysmith doesn't want few old
fogies to put it into the Sleepy Hol-
low class, it is time to wake up.

1t is high time that Ladysmith stiff
fened up it's backbone and demonstra-
ted that its fire-hazard-limiting Ordi-
nances meant something. There is
usually eXtenuating circumstances ey-
cry time the city allows this ordinance
to be broken or infringed upon and the
only way we can prevent the city be-
coming more. of fire-trap than it now
is is to absolutely refuse to break the
ordinances for anyone. If Ladysmith
is destined to become a much larger
city than it is now, it is about time
some thought was taken of the future.
