to Plead for Korean
Independence.
By UNIVERSAL SERVICE.
New York. March 15. "Right
now Japan has an economic stranale
hold upon Korea, the Alsace-Lor
raine of the east. It can annihilate
tlie Korean people by tightening
mis strangle Jiom without blood
shed, like the mediaeval-iron
woman who crushed her victim
without shedding a drop of blood."
a wiry nttie Korean who left his
native isle when it was still inde
pendent, and who has lived in Amer
ica for 14 years and won honors in
American universities, thus gave
voire today to the cause of his
countrymen, lie is Dr. Henry
I'liung. American representative of
the Korean National association,
who lias just lost a desperate battle
'' with passport red tape and diplo
matic rules to go to raris and rep
resent Korea's case at the peace
conference.
' Perused Passport.
"1 would rather be a 1113:1 without
. a country than a subject of the
Japanese emperor," was his plea to
the State department, and with that
status, a "a man without a coun
try," he pleaded for a Special per
mit to leave the country, willing to
take his own chances when he got
to France. He was told that, being
a Korean and Korea being part of
Japan, he must have permission
" from japan first. This he could not
obtain. Upon v his fervent pleas
Acting Secretary of State Polk sent
a cable to Secretary of State Lans
ing at Paris, whose answer, accord
ing to Dr. Chung, was, in substance,
. that "it would be unfortunate for
1 Korean representatives to come to
'Paris at this time." '
Associated with Dr. Chung in
the vain effort to go to Paris was
, Dr. Singman Rhec, graduate of Har
vard and alumnus of Princeton and
j a personal friend of President Wil-
son. Dr. Cluing is a graduate of the
University of Nebraska and kas a
i fellowship in Northwestern universi-
ty, being now on leave from that in
1 stitution to pursue his fight for Ko
rean iiulcpeffdence.
j Nebraska Student.
' Dr. Chung was the first person in
this country to learn of the declara
tion of Korean independence on
i March 1, before the world had an
inkling of e alleged Japanese
cruelties since reported from Pekin,
itMie report telling of Korean stu
dents being stripped and tied to
crosses. Today Dr. Chung received
J this exlusive information of the
Korean situation :
"The Japanese have sent out gen
darmes, soldiers and police who are
forcing the people to sign a docu
ment that they want Japanese rule
and have no desire of independence
i Those who refuse to sign are arret
' "ed and pnt into jail. Martial law has
been declared, in all Korean cities.
1 "All the people of Korea want is
? self-determination under President
Wilson's accepted doctrines."
Compare to PhillippineS.
A previous cablegram told Dr.
Chung that the Korean National
Independence Union, "composed of
,.1,000,000 people, including 3,000
Christian churches, and 5,000
churches of heaven worshippers,
all colleges, schools and other bod
ies, had declared the independence
of Korea at 1 p. in, March ls at
Seoul, Pyenzyaug and other cities.
(Note "Heaven worship" embod
ies the essence of Confucionism,
Buddhism and Toaism.)
- "Japan loves to compare Korea to
the Philippines. No comparison
could be more paradoxical and
fraudulent. The Philippines have
their own legislative assembly, in
which they can overrun the veto of
the American governor general,
i "The Japanese governor general
, of Korea is an absolute monarch,
while in the Philippines the Ameri
can governor general is the benevo
lent representative of America who
obeys the wishes of the people of
the Philippine islands.".
' American - Transport '
Sunk by Mine in North
Sea and Nine Drown
London, March IS. Nine sailors
ire reported drowned in the sinking
of the American naval transport
Yselhaven, which struck a rriine at
1:35 o'clock Friday morning, accord
ing to a report to Lloyds. The
Yselhaven was bound from Balti
more to Copenhagen.
Thirty-five survivors have been
landed at Hartlepool by a British
steamer.
The Yselhaven measured 3,558
tons and was built in Rotterdam in
1916. It waa taken over by the
United States shipping board after
the United States entered the war.
It left Baltimore February 18 for
Copenhagen.
The sinking of the Yselhaven
probably occurred in the North Sea,
as Hartlepool, where the survivors
were taken, is a port on the jeastern
eoast of England. '
Soldiers on Toloa Are
Sent Home from New York
New York, March IS. Americans
and Britishers residing in the United
States discharged from the British
army, who rhade trouble aboard the
transport Toloa because they were
not put ashore and sent to their
homes from Halifax, arrived here to
day on the vessel.
Three officers and 349 men made
cp the contingent and they will be
dispatched to their homes with
transportation furnished by the
British consul in New York. . '

Once Upon a Time
"There was an old woman
Who lived in a shoe,
Who had so many children
She didn't know what to do."
But this was long before the Bur-gess-Nash
baby shop was thought of.
This dear old woman loved and
looked after her home and children
much as mothers do nowadays, ex
cept that in those days there were
no nice places to buy dainty things
like we have.
In those days people couldn't go
hunting exquisite hand-embroidered
clothes and fine bits of lace and all kinds of lovely things.
So the Burgess-Nash Baby Shop came into existence and the
buyer for that section gathered together everything to de
light mothers and bring baby comfort.
And as mothers learned of this clever little shop it grew
and grew and mothers now rely upon it greatly.
To show people" everywhere in what regard the Burgess
Nash store holds little children, we set apart one whole week
each season as
Baby 8 Own Week.
And every section that has baby things to offer is dressed
in best "bib and tucker" in honor of the occasion. Sweet
faced saleswomen are in readiness to give mothers assistance
in choosing.
So This is Baby Week. '
And we cordially invite all mothers to come and bring their little ones to see
the attractive displays and to choose from well assorted and complete stocks of fine
raiment and other things for baby.
A 'Trained Nurse in Attendance.
MRS. HUBBARD, a woman who has given years of study to the care of babies,
will be, here to explain and demonstrate how to dress baby in the most healthful and
comfortable manner.
