American Missionaries in Korea Plan
More Extended Movement.

| Philadelphia, May % American
, missionaries in Korea, despite the hard
ships and dangers incident to recon
structions following the quelling by the
Japanese cf the recent uprising, are
planning to "Christianize every district
in the country" according to the an
mug report of the Presbyterian board
of foreign missions TO the Presbyterian
general assembly, made public here to.
day.
Referring to the revolt. the report
says; "Thc result proved anew that
Japan will not voluntarily grant Ko-
rean independence: that the Koreans
cannot secure it by force and that 9th
err governments, having long ago rec
ognized Japanese annexation of the
peninsula. will not interfere. Costly
too, was the movement TO the Japa
nese. for it reinforced their critics, dis
heartened their friends. alienated the
sympathy of allied nations and brought
upon the ruthless mlitarists the oppro
brious name Of the Huns of the ORR
ent.
Regarding the attitude Of the Amer
lean missionaries toward the Koreans
revolt against the Japanese, the report
quotes Bishop Herbert Weleh of the
Methodist Episcopal church OF Korea
as saying: at il no evidence of I'M
friendliness to the Japanese people that
the missionaries became alienated in
sympathy from the Japanese govern
ment but only testimony to the deep
humanity Of their feelings and TO an
indication against wrong doing which
was worthy of all praise
There is a general disposition to
give the new administration in Korea
a fair chance to remedy the undorbted
abuses that exist" continues the re-
port. Americans it says, should
distinguish between the civil and mill

about the Outrages that have been com

a large number of men who are thor
oughlv Prussian in their temper and
conduct.
Americans should bear in mind that
there is a considerable element among
the japanese themselves who are great

handed policy OF the military party in
dealing with the Koreans and who ia
