Serious Disorders
Reported in C0rea
As Unrest Spreads

SEOUL, March 26 (By The Associated
Press) Serious disorders have oc-
urrcd at Samga. village in Southeast
ern Corea, according to dispatches re-
ccived here. It is said that Coreans
numbering 100000 gathered st Samga,
cut telegraph wires and set fire to the
town half.
Armed with scytheg, members Of the
mob are reported TO have attacked the
postofficc and police stations. There
was severe fighting and many casual
tics were inflicted in the clash between
the mob and the police and a small de-
tachment Of troops. Strong reinforce
mcnts have been sent to Samga. I'm
rest continues throughout the country.
M. Hlshmidzu, chief representative
here Of the Japanese Department Of
Foreign Affairs, dcprccates in the
course Of n statement given out here
o-day rumors that foreigners have par
ticipated in the riots, and asks consuls
to warn their nationals not to ap-
proach scenes Of rioting because of the
danger OF their actions being misun-
derstood. The recent insinuation that
Ransford S. Miller, American Consul
General, was implicated in disorders in
this city was a gross injustice, he
pointed out, and resulted from Mr.
miller motoring past point where a
demonstration was going on.
Alluding to charges of cruelty pre-
ferrcd by the semi official Corean press
against Japanese troops, M. Hishmidzu
said that the police and soldiers may
have dealt harshly with rioters "while
excited" but added he found it hard to
believe the Japanese ''acted like the
Huns in Belgium" Some stories, he
remarked, were so shocking that they
could not be believed, but, nevertheless,
many missionaries appear to place
credcncc in them.
"This is not surprising" he said,
"because they associate constantly with
the Coreans. with whom they converse
freely. On the other hand, they rarely
come in contact with Japanese, not
knowing our language. Thus they hear
q one sided story. 1t is notorious fact
that the average Corean is great liar.
1t is possible the Coreans are telling
their foreign friends distorted stories,
painting the Japanese in the blacklist
colors. Thus the missionaries, pinning
their faith on the people they regard
as their friends, are forming an in
correct Judgment"

americans Barter
For 100000 Hogs
Hungary Lost in Var

PARIS. March 80 (By The Associated
Press. .--Hungary's increasing need Of
food, especially fats, is causing the
American relief administration to give
serious consi deration to the problem
Of restoring the 100000 hogs lost to
the people Of that country by the iixa-
ton OF new boundaries. In the clos
ing days Of the war the Austro- Hun
garian authorities sent theac animals
to the southern provinces foi fatten-
ing and all Of them still are in the
hands Of the Jugo- Slavs.
American officials have opened nego-
tiations to determine whether by pur-
chase or barter the hogs will be re-
turned when most needed.
A greater part Of the difficulties
created by the blockades and threat
ened blockades along the Italian from
tier disappeared in the last week, and
as result food is moving to Czecho-
Slovakia, Austria and Hungary in
greater volume.
The distribution in Vienna and Buda-
the success of the United States Signal
Corps in reestablshing widespread
communication should 60 far toward
preventing any further hitch.
1t is now possible to telephone be-
tween Trieste and Vienna and there is
an American operator at either end.
Between Vienna and Budapest there is
direct American-controlled tele-
phone. From Vienna to Prague COM
mercial line is open to the Americans
under an agreement giving food mes
Belgrade is possible with only one
telegraphic relay. There also has been
established through the navy tele-
graphic communication with cara, the
capital of Dalmatia, and down the Ad
riatic coast.
Advices received from Captain
Thomas c. Gregory, of the United States
Food Administration at Trieste, dated
last Thursday, are that quiet prevails in
Hungary and that receipt of food sup
plies might prevent further trouble.
This news came through Lieutenant
Smith, who served in Vienna, from
Lieutenant Smith left Budapest only
the drug stores and few cafes were
open. There was feeling of great un
easiness among the higher classes. The
new government, it is stated, will con-
sist Of council of fifteen, with Bella
Kun, the leader of the revolution, at
it's head.
Professor Brown and Lieutenant
White. of the American mission, are
still in Budapest. The British and
French missions left for Belgrade,
Serbia, Wednesday, and the Italian mis-
sion departed the same day for Vienna.
Professor Brown said prompt shipment
Of foodstuffs would do much to ameli
crate the situation. He added that the
confidence of the populacc would be
restored if the Entente made it known
that Hungary is not to be dismembered.

German Labor Minister
Refuses Miners Demands

RoCHUM. Westphalia. March 30,
(By The Associated Press).-
Dr. Bauer, Minister of Labor in the
German Cabinet, has notified the
miners, who are on strike in the
coal districts, that their demand for
a six-hour day is utterly impossible
if Germany's economic welfare is to
be taken into considerati The
minister pointed out that hundreds
of thousands of persons were idle
because there was no coal for the
industries.
Germany, DR.. Bauer said, expects
to pay for food with coal. Conse-
quently, an increased production is
necessary instead of a decrease,
which would result from the men
working shorter hours.

De Voc TO WORK FOR MORE
PAY FOR n. ]. TEACHERS

Assemblyman Fred w. DeVoe of
Middlesex county, who introduced the
teachers minimum wage law last year
in the assembly and secured its pas
sage has drawn an amendment to that
law whereby the minimum wage will
be increased from $500 a year to
$1,000 a year.
Mr.. DeVoe expects to introduce
this amendment at the opening day Of
the assembly and attempt to see 1t
through both houses, and secure Gov
ernor Edwards signature as quickly
as possible. 1t will be recalled at this
time that prior to the passage of the
teachers minimum wage law last
year, there were over five hundred
school teachers getting less than $500
per year IN our state. There are sew
eral thousand teachers who are now
receiving less than $1,000 o year.
1t is expected that the amendment
will have the support of all those in
terested in the betterment of public
school conditions in New Jersey. The
school teachers will get behind the
amendment, 1t is expected, and will
appoint a committee to represent the
1900 school teaches in the state,
and to interview the legislators and
Governor Edwards in behalf of the
81, 900 amendment.

tion of President Wilson the former

ator group now in New York harbor
are to be delivered to Great Britain,
the Shipping Board announced.

tn eInterallied Naval Council to be
turned over to Great Britain under
armistice terms. The Imperator has
osSl delivered to the I'.tIsE aINeaC,
In a letter to Secretary Lansing
made public today, John. Barton
Payne, chairman of the Shipping
Board, said:
Il am directed by the President to
comply with the request contained in
your letter transmitted TO me this day
from the White House an dto advise
you that the seven ex-German ships,
to wit: Graf Walresee, Zeppelin, Pre-
toria, Cap, Finistere, Mobile, Prinz
Frederick Wilhelm and Kaiserin Au-
gusta Victoria now in the harbor of
New York will be delivered to the
representatives of Great Britain as
soon as the proper persons are desig-
mated to receive same.
On investigation it was added the
department have found that the
United States had no right to retain
the ships beyond the period of their
service in bringing back American
troops now completed and so reported
to the President.
While the order puts an end to the
controversy over the German ships,
the status of twelve standard oil tank
steamers, first under the German flag,
but now in the Firth of Forth, under
the British jurisdiction remains in
doubt. Delay in turning over the
craft by the board, it has been under
stood, was due to efforts to obtain
title to these oil carriers. The last
formal action as to the tankers, was the
order of the supreme council at Paris
that they be held in British custody
until finally disposed of and be not de-
livered for operation under the awards
made by the allied commission.

SING CHRISTMAS SONGS
AT COMMUNITY HOUSE

Because of the bad weather, the en-
tire program for the Christmas singing
which had been arranged under the
auspices of the International Insti-
tute could not be carried out. Instead
of singing about the large Christmas
tree which was donated by the Wom-
ans Club and erected beside the new
Community House at Barclay and
Johnstone streets. about twenty five
girls gathered inside the house and
sang the carols which were to have
been sung in the various parts of the
town.
Much time and work had been spent
on the arrangement and rehearsals
and 1t was unfortunate that the wea-
ther prevented the carrying out of
the original plans. which would have
included the singing at the City Hos
pital, at the homes of the sick and for
the pastors and their families.
