The maintenance of an army OF
four million well disciplined troops
Is an immense drain upon resources

The army gets the first of every
thing, and the hospitals and chill
drcn have second call upon the
food After them come the civil
ians. I was listed for cabbage soup

industries of the country. Russia'S
engineers have almost been killed
of by the war"

AMONG
 MISSIONARIES IN KOREA

New York, Feb. 20.-Sharp differ ences which have developed among missionaries in Korea concerning re- forms put in operation by the Jap anese were shown in two reports made public today by Rev. Sidney L. Gulick, secretary of the commission on rela- tions with the Orient of the Federated Churches of Christ in America. The names of both writers were withheld.
 One complained that the first reform granted, restoring the right of the Ko- rears to bury their dead in private cemeteries instead of public grave yards provided by the government, showed a touch of irony because it related to the dead rather than the living, while the other maintained that ridiculing the graveyard regulation was unfair, as it was the first on the list of reforms asked for by Koreans of the higher classes.
 The pleas for amnesty, immediate abolition of flogging and torture. free speech and other measures have not seemed to "catch the imagination of the officials" according to the first, while the second said the revolution wa sa mistake. the neople were not ready for self government and that he was convinced the Japanese govern nnent was determined to give Korea an enlightened administration.

VISIONS ADRIkTIc REPLY
 GOES FORWARD TODAY

Washington, Feb. 2o-President Will sons reply to the entente premiers on the Adriatic question probably will go forward tomorrow. Acting Secretary Polk continued to study it today and after it has been put in the usual diplomatic form and has been approved finally by the presi- dent it will be coded and put on the cables.
 State department officials still steadfastly refused to discuss the con- tents of the document, but feeling of satisfaction was noticeable in ad- ministration circles and it was gen. erally understood that MT. Wilson had made an unequivocable statement of the American governments position.
 While further exchanges on the sub ject are expected, it is belivede that with the edelivery of the presidents note by Ambassador Davis at Lon don the question will have been re- moved from the argumentative stage.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
t.ARKET GAINED STRENGTH

New York, Feb 2O-Stocks were ir- regular at the outset Of today's deal ings, rails easing on selling due to opposition by financial and labor in terests to certain provisions of the railroad bill. Reversals were brief, however, prices rallying when buying of secondary rails was resumed.
 Gains in low grade issues of the roads traversing western and south western sections of the country were increased by one to 2 12 points but high grade shares or assured divi- dend payers made comparatively lit tie headway.
 During the itermediate and later periods of the session trading was de- 1ected from transportations to prom inent industrisls and specialties. These featured by General Motors and Cru cible Steel in which the bears SUBS tained further unishment.
 General Motors registered an ex- treme of 16 1-2 points at 254, almost 90 points from it's recent low and Crucibae Steel at 5 point gain was IT points over it's minimum of the early week.
 other motors and steels were firm to strong with oils equipments, ship nings and metals while textiles and feathers made noteworthy recoveries. Req ctions of one to four points at the close were the logical result of profit taking. Sales amounted to l. 100000 shares.
 Favorable incidents of the day in cluded the further strength of ex- chanke, the London quotation at it's best rising almost 30 cents to the pound over the low record of the previous fortnight, while call money was abundant at per cent that rate applying to accommodations over the week end.
 All branches of the bond market were visibly stronger, speculative is- sues again featuring the railway di- vision, with further improvement in foreign fiotations and marked firm ness in the Liberty group. Total sales, par value, aggregated $13S5O,- coo. Old U. s. bonds were unchang- ed on call.

The western youth finished with a total of 120 points. Joe Moore, wear ing Lake Placid colors, was his near est rival, with 100. Edmund Horton of Saranac Lake, was third with a total of 70. Charles Jewtraw, of Lake Placid, eastern amateur champion, whose showing for the week was a distinct disappointment to his sup porters, finished with 50 point s. In the three mile race which decided the title, Moore followed McGowan across the line. JeWtraW was third.
 Miss Rose Johnson, Chicago, won the first women's international skat- ing title. She scored 110 points. Miss Esmrralda Dunlap, also of Chicago, was her closest opponent with 70 points and the other feminine entrants were far in the reaer, none scoring more than a total of 30. Miss Jonn- son chnched the title by winning the half mile for women today.
 Sportsmanship displayed by Joy Joe Moore, who is a former mstropol- Nan skating champion, avoided a pos Sible miXup in points at the end When he suggested, after the finish of the three mile event in which McGOWan was the victor, that neither com rete in the hurdle race, declaring, You are not hurler; neither am I. why decide the title on a possible nulle." The suggestion was accepted by McGowan. Victory for Moo:e over McGowan in the hurdle race would nave given the Lake Placid entrant tEe title.
