And does he come from the place

Monks Camp in a Tree.

Anyhow, SO Buddhist monks shook
from their sandled feet the dust of
India, reaching, after a years pilgrim
age, the peninsula of Korea, now called
Chosen. Making their way to the north
eastern section in the region of the
Diamond mountains, they came to Yu-
tenji. / was there in 1918 and know
the country thoroughly, but don't get

however, that the prevalence of Bud

"Never as I'm giving it to you," said
the American, "and very much doubt
that you will find it anywhere between

down from century to century, along
with a thousand other tales, many of
which have heard. But of the bunch,
this one is the best.
"As l was saying, the 80 monks, fed

Dragon Disturbs Sleep.

"About midnight, as the monks, all
spread out on the leafy branches, were
sleeping like one man, and dreaming of
India, dragon, with flaming eyes, a
long tongue and a spine of sharp
prongs suddenly appeared on the oppO-
site side of the pool and began to bel
low in thunderous tones, inviting the
Buddhists to come down and get theirs.
Nothing doing; the tree suited the
dodgers all right, all right, and that
was that. What does the dragon do
but cause a hurricane to come romp-
ing down through what is now known
as Sleeping Dog Pass so named be-
cause it was so steep that a dog had
to take a nap before attempting to
climb it, and literally blow the tene-
ment house tree from the landscape"
To all intents and purposes, the his
tory of Buddhism in Korea should at
this point have to come to con-
clusion; it was quite abrupt. To light
en- the suspense, my informant slid
from his hot rock, debated his lungs
and sank from view, returning rather
playfully after few seconds and blow
ing like a DJlp seal.

hot water from his jowls, ''it certainly
looked bad for those 90 monks when
the tree left for parts unknown. But
Buddhists don't quail from trouble they
can take it. After the tree had disap-
peared, what did the dragon behold but
the batch of SO holy men suspended In
midair between heaven and earth, re-
clining or seated in the same positions
they had occupied in the tree before
the blast, and with no visible means of
support. 1t was a sock in the eye for
the dragon.
Into the pool below. the monks cast
prayer scrolls and magic gadgets that
caused the water TO boil violently and
to fill the air with steam. Blinded by
this vapor, the dragon, confused for
the first time in his long life, fioun-
dered about, lost his footing, tumbled
into the hot water and sank, boiled to
a turn, never to rise again. AT day

The Austrian monarchists are act
lively propagandizing in favor Of a
plebescite regarding restoration Of
Archduke Otto. They realize that
the essential condition Of a water
tight plebiscite is strong man at the
head of the government.
Napoleon submitted his procld-
nation as Emperor OF France to
popular pote and obtained SO per
cent OF the potes; Napoleon III fol-
lotDed his example. some so year
later ana obtained 90 per cent OF
the French votes; Hitler obtained

portion and so Mould Mussolini, ii
he thought plebiscite necessary
today in Italy.
But all these men had complete con-
troll over the voters of their countries
they were already in the saddle as
dictators and had powerful army
behind them.
The situation Is somewhat different
in Austria, where the majority Of the
people would like to see Otto back.
Only the government is weak and
fears the Little Entente.

her son is concerned, has been active

She is reported to have almost con-
vinced MuSsolini that in the present

 Some of them looked as if they might have stepped out of an Eng fish University or a Savile-row tai Tor shop in London" he said.
 While inspecting the rogues' gall lery, Pearlman said. he was par ticularly interested by the number of men who posed as clergymen in operating as confidence trick sters.

BLOWING UP OF ALCAzAR
 IS STARTED
Fascists Withstand Ton of TINT Set Off E arly
 This Morning

MODRID, Sept. 18.-Toledo's AL cazar Fascists today withstood the explosion of ton of TINT and from cellars of the ruined castle manned machine guns to hold off the charg- ing government militiamen.
 The first of the three great mines was laid under the castle where 17OO men, women and children have withstood shell fire for two months, It exploded with a terrific roar at 6:15 a. m. Most of the southwest tower crashed in an avalanche ot rock masonry. Loyalists stormed the ruins, planted their flag and rained hand grenades at the passages lead ing to the cellars. From underground vaults the machine guns answered.
 The initial blast is one of the three laid as a result of the governments decision to blow up Alcazar follow ing the Fascist refusal to surrender to enable the governmenters to oc- cupy the surface buildings. But ap- parently the Fascists are unshaker in their determination to die rather than surrender.
