MASSACRES FOLLOW THE
GREAT JAPANESE DISASTER
Over 500 Koreans Victims of Vigi-
lantes, Reservists and Others.

More than 500 Koreans residing in
Japan were victims of vigilantes re
servists and others in the days imme-
diately following the earthquake that
destroyed Toxic and Yokohama. &C
cording to reports published. These
reports previously had not been pub
lished because of the censorship, at
Toxic. The massacre is attributed to
exaggerated rumors of outrages alleg-
ed to have been committed by Ko-
reans after the earthquake.
These rumors, originating in Yoko-
hama. spread rapidly throughout the
devastated area. In Yokohama alone,
the police found it necessary to trans
fer $50 Koreans to ships in the har-
Dor in order to guarantee their safety.
Every youngster has an equal
chance to set the woods aflre except
the one who has money to burn.

Enthusiastically, sound OF dragging
chains. And were they steps which
were heard on the stairs?
Presently Gladys brought mirror
and candle. We girls are gong to
brave the Fates and push aside the
veil of the Future. Each girl must
go alone down the cellar steps. back
wards, holding in her hand this mir
ror and lighted candle. Who will be
first?
You go first, suggested one lass.
GLADYS took the candle and glass
and began the backward descent. Two
minutes passed. A hollow groan was
heard. and then the same clanklng OF
chains.
A white mist was floating around
in the basement, but they could see
nothing of Gladys. By this time the
guests were really frightened. Just at
this iuncture a white face became VS.
ible through the darkness, and 1t was
the face of no one they had ever seen
before
Gladys suddenly came dashing up
the stairs. Oh, did you see it? she eX-
claimed
Indeed, we did. Did you see any
thing in your mirror?
GLADYS shuddered. Yes, but don't
ask me to describe it. 1t was terrible
Come, let's go on back to the front
rooms.
They were soon enjoying them
selves as before, when suddenly dead
hush fell on the company. The tower
clock was striking twelve! On the
stroke of twelve the lights all went
out. and vet they could see clearly by
misty blue haze which was darling
from one part of the room to anoth-
err. Suddenly the mist foated to the
center of the room and something
dropped with a frightful clash.
A deep voice addressed them: Pick
It up there, Gladys"
GLADYS was almost frozen stiff, but
she managed to fall to her knees and
tumble with the dropped article. Why,
she had thought there was a crash
but these things on the floor were
threads!
Take it up there" The voice was
becoming louder, obliteratlng all else
from Gladys dull senses. The haze
was assuming proportions, its voice
became more and more insistent ev-
ervthing else was melting away. How
funny the piano looked. 1t was turn
ing blacker and blacker-why it was
blackboard! She seized at the threads,
they eluded her-alas, they had gone.
| was not aware, the mist was say
ing, that my voice had such soothing
propenslt1es.
The. voice is demanding the threads
again, thought Gladys with a sinking
heart. The mist-heavens, me! that
was no mist. Why where were the
guests? They were seated all around
laughing at Gladys. Her guests? No,
they were fellow classmates in his
tory. Miss Taylor was shaking, her,
calling her to wake up, to pick up
the threads of the discourse. She
could do that
We were talking of going down

The first prize for the cutest costum--

We were blindfolded and ushered
into a chamber of horrors, where
some one met us and carried us
through. There our fortunes were al
so told.
We bobbed for apples and played
MANY other games, after which we
were visited by several ghosts from
the senior class party across the street.
Then we were led into the dining
room, where the inviting table was
decorated with Halloween decora-
lions Tn the middle of the table was
a bowl of punch:
After eating the crowd went back
out into the yard and sat before the
big bonfire and talked. Altogether the
everi.,g was very pleasant.
The senior class was enjoyably en-
tertained at a Halloween party at
the home of Gladys McEarchern on
College street. The house was arts
tically decorated with Halloween col
ors.
Each guest was given punch and
forced to crawl through barrel and
lump over a broom stick before they
were admitted into the house.
Free airplane rides were given to
h1indfo1ded guests. And each one was
allowed to see the coffin which was
in darkened hall. Every one was
given a fortune from witch's pot.
Nuts, candy and fruits were served
