u. S. MISSIONARIES
IN COREA BLAMED
Japan Suspects Some Are In
Uolued in Revolt.

One or two American missionaries are
suspected of connection with the present
uprising in Corea, according to nm Off
cial cable from Toxic. made public yes
terday by Chonosuke Yada, the japanese
Consul General here The message adds
that the Japanese Government has fol-
lowed "the most considerable method of
dealing with the matter and has not ar
rested one OF them
The cable contained a denial OF re-
ports that "a Japanese soldier struck
an American woman missionary with the
butt end OF his gun" at PengyanR. and
that at Nobru-Kawa Japanese soldiers
searched the home OF an American mis-
sionary and forced their way into his

ton OF Japanese soldier trying to force
back the passage or a crowd with his
gun held horizontally"
After charging that the riots had been
sponsored by ''one Son Heiki, who is al
the head OF cult called Tendo-Kyc
(Heavenly Way and harbors mu-
tinous ambition of bringing about a COUP
d'etat," the cable continuesi
at is a matter of exceeding regret
that n certain portion OF tho missionary
body has inspired the suspicion that they
have INDUCED in words and actions sus-
ceptible to political constructions. Blu

no instance have they closed tht

No resistance In expected"
The frequent reports, which have come
almost daily during the last fortnight
from German sources, to the effect that
there is constant difficulty in the un-
loading OF American food ships at
Bremen and Hamburg because Of
strikes. are believed here to be part OF
the current German propaganda. Di-
rect reports to American naval head
quarters here. sent by American off,
GERS oyer lines OF communication con-
trolled by the navy, discredit all OF
these reports.
The latest of the reports reached Lon
don this morning by way of Copen-
hagen. 1t says the strike at Bremen
prevented the unloading of the American
steamship Franklin, upon which the
captain of the Franklin prepared to
leave port. A large number of lawyers,
doctors and Judges then offered to do
the unloading themselves, the report
adds, but 1t does not state the result Of
their offer A direct message from AN
officer of the Franklin, received at head
quarters here yesterday reporting on
routine matters, does not mention any
occurrence out OF the ordinary, which 1t
Is considered surely would have been
the case had there been the slightest diff
flculty in connection with the Franklin's
cargo.
The only real difilculty In unloading
steamships at German ports occurred at
Danzig several days ago, but this trouble
lasted only one day. Since then tHe
German workmen at Dansig have been
working ten hours a day to get the
needed food out of the ships As far as
Ia known this Is the only place In Ger
many where laborers are putting in az
much as ten hours a day.
German labor at Bremen and Ham
burg is swayed by two infiuenccs-the
desire TO get food on the one hand and
tho general unrest on the other, this
unrest not being conducive 20 STEADY
work. The result is a logged and
rather unwilling attitude on the part
of the laborers, but so far there have
| been plenty of men available to keer
the work Of unloading in progress.

ALLEN UNSHAKEN AT
CHAMBERLAIN TRIAL
Naval Officer Produces Aft
douits in Auiafor's Behalf.

PARIS April 1s.-Lieutenant-Co COM
mander Frederick s. Allen OF the Ameri-
can naval air forces continued his testi-
mony to-day in the case of Capt. f. q.
Chamberlain OF San Antonio. Tex, Of
the American air forces. Capt. Cham
berlain is accused OF having made false
reports of exploits while on tho British
front last year.
Lieutenant Commander Allen was sub
jected to a severe cross-examnation by
the prosecutors, each of them taking
turn in an endeavor to bring about
contradiction OF Aliens testimony pre-
viously given. Allen. however. produced
affidavits from various persons at
Rozoyen-en- Brie, near Touquin, whore
the British aviation field is situated,
who remembered having met Chamber
lain In the latter part OF July OF last
year.
The prosecution laid particular en-
phasis on the inability OF Allen to con-
frm the spot where Chamberlain Is sup
posed to have landed between the lines
and failure to find a record Of tho Ger
man prisoners alleged to have been cap
tured by Chamberlain.
Donald Harper, counsel for Chamber
lain, pointed to the fact that George
Guynemer, the greatest airman of all
time, landed between the lines on n
quiet sector during period in Septem-
Der of 1917. The French and British
aviation authorities, the King or Spain
and even the Germans had made every
effort to locate this spot. bit were TN
able to do so, said Harper. The attor-
ney for the defendant argued that the
capture of one prisoner at time when
tho CHAIRMAN cantiyea numbered thou
sands daily might pass unnoticed.
The defence called this afternoon Chief
Machinist's Mate Colcord. who produced
pieces of canvas and a compass. picked
up near st. JENNIE, on the spot where
Chamberlain says he was brought down
by the Germans. These articles, parts
of an airplane, were introduced as ex-
hibits. without objection from the prose
cution. They were picked up December
26 last while Colcord was visiting st
Jenne in company with Chamberlain.
