KOREA MAKING HARD FIGHT ID
 REMEDY ABUSES THAT EXIST

PHILADELPHIA May 29 (by Asso- ciated Press) American missionaries in Korea, despite the hardships and dangers incident to reconstruction fol lowing the quelling by the Japanese of the recent uprising are planning to "Christianize every district in the &country," according to the annual re- port of the Presbyterian Board of Missions to the Presbyterian General Assembly, just made public.
 T Referring to the revolt, the report says: "The result proved anew that Japan will not voluntarily grant the Korean independence; that the Kor- cans cannot secure it by force and that other governments, having long ago recognized Japanese annexation of the peninsula, will not interfere. Costly too was the movement to the Japanese, for it reinforced their critics, disheartened their friends, alienated the sympathy of the Allied nations, and brought upon the ruth less militarists the opprobrious name of the Huns of the Orient y
 Regarding the attitude of the Amer ican missionaries toward the Koreans revolt against the Japanese, the re- port quotes Bishop Herbert Welch of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Korea as saying: "It is no evidence of unfriendliness to the Japanese peo- ple that the missionaries become alienated in sympathy from the Jap <anese government but only testl- nony to deep humanity of their feel ings and to an indignation 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 undoubt- ed abuses that exist" continues the report Americans" said the report, should distinguish between civil and military parties among the Japanese. The former is composed of enl1ghten- ed and progressive men, who feel as we do about the outrages that nave heer committed in Korea. The latter Includes a large number of men who are thoroughly Prussian in their tenn per and conduct.
 Americans, should bear in mind that there is a considerable element among the Japanese themselves who are greatly disturbed by the stern and iron-handed policy of the military Darty in dealing with the Koreans and who favor a wise and humane policy in dealing with them. It would be not only unwise but unjust to make indiscriminate condemnation Of the whole Jananese nation"
 Declaring that "China is in a state of chaos" the Board says it has been gratifying to read the reassur- ing statements of several eminent Japanese as to the intentions of their government adding, however, that F'something more than words, how ever sincere is required to remove misgivings and distrust." Greed and altruism, democracy and militarism 1t says, are struggling for the mast cry. During the past year, the re- port says, Chinese churches connect ed with the Presbyterian, Congrega- tional, United Brethren and London Missions, have formed one organic Christian body. All other evangel-
The Cordova daily times., 1920-05-29

ical denominations have been invited to join.
 Presbyterian foreign missionaries increased in 1919 from 1864 to 1,428 and the native workers from 6,806 to 6,856. In order to meet the high cost of living, which in some fields like Japan has increased over 300 percent, the living allowances for the Pres byterian missionaries have been in- creased from the former standard of 1,250 a year to $1,500.
 New methods of dealing with sedi- tion is declared to have made activi- ties in India more difficult, all non- British subjects desiring to engage in philanthropic work, educational, medj- cal or missionary work being required to obtain a license" This was mod flied for the missionaries provided they declared due obedience and res pect to the government and carefully abstained from political affairs. Rein forcements are called for "to check the growing power of Mohammedan- ism," in West Africa.

NEWS NOW AND THEN.

There is a great deal oi difference between the value of certain kinds of news few years ago and now. For instance there is the race between the Shamrock and the Resolute. A few years ago the people in every hamlet ! in the United States eagerly awaited the outcome of this race. Today the papers are devoting very little space to it end it is question that they are devoting too much. The last olympiad attracted a great deal of interest. In the coming contests there is little interest for the general public. International sporting events no longer hold the public, since the greatest of all international struggles has been settled.
 The affairs in the moslem world, the Irish question, the war between the soviet and Poland do not interest the public us much as does the Elwell case, or the daily batting record of Babe Ruth.
 Instead of increasing the interest of Americans in European affairs, the war had the opposite effect. Most newspaper readers in the United States are, sick and tired of Europe and the afafirs of the European na- tions. Whether itsbe war, an inter- national athletic contest or diplo- matic conference, the amount of at tention the average American gives 1t is the same.

 ERA AZ SAVING HAS BEGUN.

Evidence of this is given in an ar } ticle in Peoples Magazine for August, : in reports that are made by officers of E many corporations as to what their employees are doing with their wages. Some of the reports indicate that the employees were spending unwisely but most of them indicated that their employees had passed through period of extravaganza and were now get ting down to brass Jacks and bus- ness. They had had their economic spree in the first flush of compara tive prosperity and had gradually got over its effect and set about to store away Il harvest against any possible drought of the near or distant future. In all of which there is, needless to say, splendid common sense.
 What does it all indicate?
 This and while there is that which Is gratifying in it from the national viewpoint, there is also powerful kick in it for those of us who have long been white collar folk, whether we like it or not. The people who have been making the big incomes, and still are making them, are not squandering every cent they made and riding for an awful fall on the day that the "war emergency" ceases tiff that day ever arrives. They have for some months been displaying more good, American common sense than they've been credited with, and they arc entrenching their next generation with the equipment which will en- able it to retain and improve the eco homie position gained by the present generation. That equipment is educa- tion. Also, they are buying property
 usable property -things that go into and improve the home, and that can be handed down to that next genera ton.
 Such people make the poorest rad icals and direct-actionists and bolshe- vists on earth Educated persons who have property in their own names arc persons who believe in firmly estab a 1x.hAd <rox,o rpmap+ and ;o lamS fh,. protect property. So much for tho weird wailings that we occasionally hear in these political days to the eff feet that we're riding fast to tht brink of Russian free for-all fight The facts ins the case fail to suppor the theory; contrariwise they show that, whatever else we may be going toward. we are going in the very op posite direction from this.

Faulty Positions WhiIeat Work.

Faulty Positions Whileat Work.
 Don't let your body become deform~ ed through faulty posture.
 Some occupations apparently can not be carried on without the worker having to assume unhcalthful posi- tions. This is the case, for example, with garment workers, shoemakcrs doing hand work, and draughtsmen
 Studying an occupation from the hygienic standpoint, especially as re- gards the position assumed by the worker, it is found that, in at least some instances, a faulty position can be corrected by changing the accepted or conventional manner and conditions of work.
 Don't blindly follow old methods i; see if they cannot be changed for the better.
 Consider what has been done in bricklaying g-formerly, q bricklayer stopped far over, both to reach the bricks to lay, and for the mortar, q ridiculous waste of energy. Nova days, both bricks and mortar are placed at a convenient height, and stopping is no longer necessary.
 Wherever deformity is due to a faulty position assumed by an in- dividual, much can be accomplished by education and training, by atten- tion to lighting, style of chair, height of desk or table, eye strain, etc. AL most equally important are setting up exercises and breathing drills as prac- ticed in most public schools.

Says Soviet Seeks to Create Disorder
 Through England

London, July l9.-The Russian Soviet government, through Nikolai Lenine, seeks "to start the British nation off on that same career of revolutionary violence which has made Russia such jolly place to live in," Winston Churchill, Minister of War, declared in an article pub lished in the Evening News, answer ing report by a British labor dele gation which visited Russia and a letter directed to the British people by Lenine.
 Should the Soviet system be es' tablished in England the War Min ister believes that not only would freedom of the press and freedom of thought be swept away but the Eng fish labor leaders themselves would "share the fate of Kerensky, the Mensheviks and the social revolu- tionaries in Russia"
 The War Minister charged Lenine with having ruined his own country and said it was natural he should wish "to have all other nations re- duced to the same level of misery, in order that his own carnage may be covered in the general chaos, wrote Mir. Churchill.
 Russia was on the threshold of victory" After all her struggles she was within reach of the goal, The Germans sent in Lenine, as poison gas is sent sealed in q cylin- der and he robbed her of the victory she had all but won and which she might have shared with us.
 "A million Germans, released by his act of treachery, were let loose on the French and British fronts and nearly that number of British and French soldiers are dead or mutilated in consequence. Instead of victory he gave Russia shame and immesurable disaster.
 "Lcnine destroyed the Russian republic. He dissolved the Russian parliament He had the bulk of it's members hunted down and killed. He has robbed his country of vic tory, peace and freedom; and what has he given them in exchange? huSSla, the great loou pIoQuSihS center of the world. wrecked with famine: the towns depopulated to half their numbers; the workmen scattered, destroyed and the rest cowed or demoralized; hundreds Of thousands of people driven to the woods and mountains to form Green Guards like Robin Hood in the Middle Ages; the railways on which the whole economic civilization of these great sTegions depend, sinking hopelessly into absolute stagnation. [ "Only the peasant with his rifle in his village guards the hard-won produce of his individual toll, re- fuses to sell the fruits of his labor for worthless money and keeps alive the old Russian love of hearth and home. The egoism of the peasant, says Lenine, must now be broken. 1 "This, then, is the man whom the crazy portion of the Socialist party has been worshipping. He has now revealed his measure and his men, tality to the British public and he appeals to them to create in Britain < that enslaved, infected, starving and .venomous Bedlam.e to which he has reduced the noble and mighty Rus 4 sian state and nation"
