nor of Korea, at Seoul, on September
2, every part Of that city has been oc-
cupied by Japanese troops and the
place virtually in a state OF siege. The
would-be assassin is still at large, al
though a number Of persons suspected
of being implicated in the plot are IN
der arrest.
The attack followed days of agita-
tion and demonstrations in Seoul. be-
ing marked by public meetings and
the closing Of shops. An independent
newspaper was issued on August %,
the ninth anniversary Of the annexa-
lion Of Korea by Japan, as an avowed
expression Of protest. The day was

The Japanese press takes the view
hat the bomb outrage was to have

War Deliberately Planned.

The president declared that the war
was mo sudden outburst," but the
deliberate plan OF Germany conceived
years before.
Germany did not dare discuss her
course for twenty-four hours, he said,
and SO the treaty had been framed
30 that no future war could occur
sion. by this cooling off" process,
said Mr.. Wilson, it was certain that
much OF the passion that starts war
could be e~ra3.cated.
Declaring the peace treaty provision
for an international labor conference
would give labor a new bill Of rights,
the president declared the treaty was
a "laboring mans treaty" in the sense
that it was a treaty drawn up for he
benefit Of the common people.
The political settlements them
selves, said the president, were made
for the peoples concerned. He assert
ed that the document laid down for
ever the principle that no territory
ever should be governed except as the
people who lived there wanted it gov
srned.
THAT is an absolute reversal Of his.
tory" said the president, "and it's all
In the League Of nations"
What Lone Hand Means.
High taxes, a large standing army
and a military government in spirit
would be required. he stated, il the
United States were to follow the adj
vice of some men and stand by her
self"
Asking his hearers to suppose for a
moment that the land titles Of South
Dakota we're to be upset and every
farm line moved ten feet, Mr.. Wilson
said that was somewhat like what had
happened In Europe, and a central au-
thority vas necessary to stabilize con
ditions and prevent strife.
Your choice" said Mr.. Wilson. lis
between the league Of nations and
Germanism. l have told you what |
mean by Germanism-having a chip on
your shoulder"
America could stay out OF the league,
said the president, but 1t would be at
the expense Of the peace Of the world.
America is necessary" he said. ito
the peace Of the world. And the peace
and confidence of the world are neccJ
Sary to America"
When the president added that
sometimes he had been called an
tdealist" someone shouted. Good
and the crowd cheered.
The certain way" to have trouble
between capital aud labor, said the
president, was for them to refuse to
discuss their differences. He said he
could not understand how a man could
refuse to discuss his case unless he
was wrong.
Mr.. Wilson expressed his regret that
he could not be In Washington on Sep

Crowds Brave the Rain.

Although ii was raining when the
presidents train arrived, the down.
town streets were lined with crowds
and a wave Of cheering followed the
president on his way to the coliseum.
A Shriners' band led the parade. Mrs.
Wilson, who sat on the stage, was pre-
scented with some roses by two little
girls who walked across the stage to
her place while the crowd, which
packed the hall, cheered. Mrs. Will
son thanked the girls with a kiss and
there wexe more cheers.
The president opened his address by
relating how a lady who shook hands
with him at a way stop had burst into
tears when she tried to tell him. of her
son killed in France.
This incident, said Mr.. Wilson,
brought home TO him that the country
had sacrificed greatly. not for tempo
rary advantage, but for a permanent
betterment of the world. In the eyes
of the American boys who went across
the seas, he continual, the people OF
Europe had seen a determination not
only TO defeat Germany, but TO see
that such a thing never happened
again.

how much the dietitians decried the

physicians alluded to its possibilities OF
harm to the body: it was procurable,
