MERCHANT MARINE
 IS AMERICANIZED
50 Per Cent. Of Recruits From
 Interior States

Washington, D. C., June 16.-It is ! remarkable that of the thousands of men being recruited for the Ameri- can merchant marine, 60 per cent come from states not on the sea board. With the single exception of Massa- chusetts, none of the sea aboard states, is furnishing as many men to the new merchant marine as such inter- for states as Ohio, Indiana and H. linois.
 This proportion of 60 per cent has held good throughout the campaign, which to date has recruited 23, 900 men for seas service since the first training station was placed in opera
 tion in January, 1918. The fact that so many of the re- cruits are coming from the interior, where the percentage of native born population is highest, in large degree accounts for the AmericaniZatiOn of the merchant marine being so rapidly accomplished. At the outbreak of the
 war, 70 per cent of the men on Amer ican merchant ships were foreign born. In March, 49 1-2 per cent of the men recruited for sea service were native- born Americans. This percent age would be considerably increased
 
 were included
 Another evidence of the merican izatiOn of the merchant marine is found in the figures of the Marine Firemen's Union membership. Prior to the war, less than 50 of the mem- bers of this union were American citi- zens; today the percentage is more than 9O
 Training Schools, To train men for sea service, the Shipping Board has established twenty six schools for officers, navi gation and engine room, and nine training stations for seamen. There are now 500 students in the officers schools, while the seamens training stations have an attendance of about 5000. The term is two months. The service is made attractive for the seamen in that they have opportun- ity to win places as officers. If a sea- man has had a high school educa- ton, he is eligible to enter an officers school after one year of sea service Pay is as high as $4,500 per year for navigation officers and $3,45O in the engine room, with quarters and
 food.
 100000 men in the service of the
 American merchant marine, some
 thing that almost didn't exist prior to the war and whose wonderful
 growth is one of the romantic rec
 ords of American achievement dur- ing the great world crisis.

himonoeski, Japan, June 16.-A Korean peer, Viscount Soheishun, who has just arrived from Fusan, Kora, told Japanese journalist that dur ing the recent demonstrations in Ko- req he received about 15 threatening letters a day because he issued a warning to Koreans that none of the western powers would interfere to support the dem onstrations against Japan and that the agitation would have a very bad effect upon future re- lations between the Japanese and Ko- reanS
 The viscount added that anti-Jap- anese feeling was strong throughout Korea.

EGG BOUTS PASTOR,
 PREVENTS SERVICE
WOman's Aim Proves True and Church Organist Becomes
 Human Target.

Ansonia, June 16.-Trustees of the church being restrained by an injunc- tion from interfering with Rev. File mon Klslowsl1y of the Ruthenlan Greek Catholic church, women par ishioners who are opposed to the pas tor sat on the steps of the church yesterday morning and prevented him from entering. Some one in the crowd threw an egg which struck the or ganist of the church in the face. It looked for a few minutes as if there would be trouble, but the pastor finally withdrew and no services were held.
 There has been trouble in the church for several weeks. Various stories are current regarding the diff ficulty, and from what can be learned it appears that the splitting up of the former Russian empire has caused a division in the congregation. Father Kislowsky secured an injunction in th5 superior court, New Haven, sew eral weeks ago, restraining officials of the church who are opposed to him from interfering with the services. The police were called to prevent dis order at the church yesterday morn ing. Officers Blake and Ahearn were assigned for duty at the edifice. When they arrived they found the steps of the church filled with women, block ing the entrance. The women sat on the steps and when Pastor Kislowsky arrived barred his entrance. Attorney A. s. Aaronson, counsel for the priest, was present and an attempt was made to enter the church. The women sat tighter and after the egg was thrown the pastor and his adherents withdrew.
