Burn 36 Homes.
H. H. Underwood, a missionary
living in Seoul, was quoted in the
:( Tokio Advertiser of April 29, 1919,
according to the report, regarding u
visit he made to Pal Tan, a market
" town. A fortnight before, Japanese
troops, he said he was told, burned
. 36 of the 40 houses in the villaage of
iChayammni, two miles from Pal
Tan, because the inhabitants were
J Christian. Pal Tan, he said he was
informed, escaped both fire and
sword "because there were no Chris
tians there."
Preliminary police examinations
of Koreans suspected of complicity
in the revolutionary movement, are
said in the report to include "every
human refinement in brutality," men
being beaten to death and women
subjected to nearly every possible
form of shameful treatment. Milder

blows rained upon the prisoner's
body with a bamboo rod and trie

In conclusion, after publishing

anti-American articles from certain

"It is unnecessary to say more.
These articles speak for themselves.
The reader can judge of the attitude
of the press when the government
permits such stuff to be printed. As
the press always is under the censor
here, when such stuff is printed, the
, government becomes morally re
'v sponsible. The truth is prohibited.

Italian Socialists Plan
Strike as Big Protest
Against Peace Treaty
Rome, July 13. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) THe Intransigeant
socialists have published a manifes
to proclaiming a general strike July
' 20 and 21 as a protest against the
i peace treaty, which is denounced as
"an attempt by the allies to suffo
cate bolshevism in Russia and, Hun
gary." "Workmen of France will do like
wise," the manifesto says. "Work
men of England will also show
their intention to bring to bear the
powerful action of their ' trade
onions. Workmen in Switzerland,
Holland, Denmark and Sweden will
join in the movement. Thus the
flag of the internationale will be un
furled against the new premeditated
crimes of the bourgeoise."
. . The manifesto was also-sisrned bv
the general confederation of labor.
"The Socialist-Italian union,"
comprising more moderate elements
has - published another manifesto
: agreeing to a general strike, but
warning workmen that the English
- proletariat does not join in the
strike. The manifesto states the
strike in France is a protest against
the high cost of living and not in
behalf of Russia and Hungary.

BUSINESS CHANCE
FOR U. S. RAILWAY
CAPITAL ASKED
President of Union Pacific
Gives Suggestions to Mem
bers of Congress for Solu
tion of Railroad Problem.
New York, July .13. Suggestions
to members of congress for "a sound
solution of the railroad problem," by
Robert S. Lovett. president-of the
Union Pacific Railroad system, for
merly head of the division of capital
expenditures of the United States
Railroad administration, made public
here Sunday, included as a funda
mental principle the necessity of leg
islation that will give railroad cap
ital "a business chance."
"If congress will enact the neces
sary laws giving railroad capital a
business chance," declared Judge
Lovett, "I believe that capital will
take a business risk and the money
required to provide the requisite rail
road facilities for the future will be
forthcoming." 1
The head of the Union Pacific de
clared that, in his opiniqn, the coun
try is confronted with four contin
gencies: inadequate and poor serv
ice, government ownership, a federal
.guaranty of a reasonable return upon
railroad capital, or reasonable rate
fixing by a government agency, the
latter providing "consideration of
the needs of the traffic and the car
rier, with the right of each carrier
to keep whatever profit it can make
out of rates so established, by good
management, good service-, economy,
wise investment and success in com
peting for business."
Need Sufficient Rates.
Regarding rate-making Judge Lov
ett maintained that the regulation
provided by congress "should re
quire that the rates be sufficient to
enable the carriers to provide the
requisite service and facilities, pro
tect existing investments and pro
vide the new capital necessary in the
public interest," as advocated by the
committee of railroad executives and
submitted to the senate committee
on interstate and foreign commerce.
Judge Lovett, likewise, favors
five other features of the railroad
committee's report as being remedi
al ;md "wise as a national railroad
policy," namely: compulsory federal
incorporation, exclusive federal reg
ulation of securities and rates, the
creation of a Department of Trans
portation in the president's cabinet,
the head of which would have power
''to act quickly and deal with emer
gencies," and modification of re
strictions upon railroad consolida
tions and provision for the merging
of lines when in the public interest.
"Our railroad transportation sys
tem," observes Judge Lovett, "which
is essentially national, should be res
cued from the irresponsible and
conflicting state agencies, and
brough under uniform control and
regulation in the national interest,
except as to strictly local matters.
"Without government ownership
or operation, the only reliance for
railroad revenue to support rail
road credit must be upon the adop
tion by qongress of a sound rail
road policy involving absolute jus
tice to railroad capital and requiring
specifically and plainly that the
rates to be fixed shall be sufficient to
enable the carriers to provide safe
and adequate service, to protect ex
isting values and to attract the new
ci.pital necessary in the public in
terest.
Deserving Encouragement.
Railroad investors, according to
Judge Lovett, are deserving as much
of encouragement, liberal treatment
and appreciation as stockholders in
other enterprises "with no public in
terest involved."
"No money except that devoted
purely to benevolence is employed
more in the public interest or is en
titled to more encouragement or
faire? treatment and consideration
than that which is invested in the
construction and development of
railroad facilities, declared Judge
Lovett, who added that "it is about
time that we were introducing com
mon sense into some of our theories
about railroad capital."
Judge Lovett said he favored
compulsory federal incorporation be
cause then the railroads would cease
to be "mere creatures of the states"
and cease to be "tied hand and foot
when it comes to the issue and sale
of stocks and bonds," a restriction
that, "too often threw back upon
short term borrowing with danger
ous and often unfortunate conse
quences." Exclusive Federal Regulation.
Exclusive federal regulation of the
issue of railroad securities, said
Judge Lovett, is so vital to railroad
credit and to the success of any
system of regulation that may be
adopted that "it must not be over
looked " Federal regulation of
freight and pasenger rates also, he
thought imperative because of the
"notorious" discrimination by many
state railroad commissions in fa
vcr of their own citizens against
citizens of other states.
Establishment of a Department of
Transportation with a secretary in
the president's cabinet was empha
sized as needful for the reason that
the railroad business, "the largest
tingle industry in the United States
next to agriculture," is unrepre
sented in the government and "with
out any friend at court." Such an
official, Judge Lovett said, would be
able "to meet the emergencies re
sulting from exceptional congestion
in traffic or through blockades in
transportation, by quickly mobiliz
ing the nation's transportation re
sources and by the arbitrary diver
sion, if need be, of traffic from lines
which cannot handle it to lines
which can and by other instant and
heroic methods."

Dies aUhe Age of 84 Years
Falls City, Neb., July U (Spe

years, died at his home in Verdon
Saturday of cancer of the stomach.
He was one of the pioneers of that
part of the county and was a prom

there for many years. In the early
days a democratic convention would
not have been considered regular
without Parsons being present. He
was a farmer and success attended
his efforts in that business. Iri re

the marking, Manager Thomas will
solve a description folder, telling
how the points may be reached by
street car or automobile.
Preliminary work having been
performed, the Chamber of Com

of the old Fontenelle, Saroy, La
Flesch and Decatur trading posts,
as well as the site of the Pawnee
Indian annuity house.
The Fontenelle Forest' Reserve
association will be asked to open a
path from the auto road to the
Fontenelle grave and the sites of
the historic buildings that were
erected long ere the white settlers
invaded Nebraska and commenced
building their homes.
In the near future Messrs.
Thomas, Gilder and Higgins will
undertake a survey of the country

ing the sites of the old Cabanne
trading post, Long's hill, Fort Lisa,
Long's cantonment and the original
Fort Calhoun. These haying been
located, they will be ma'rked and

"We struck Ireland at Clifden and
made good progress from there, al
though our steering engine broke
down Saturday morning. We started
with 4.900 gallons of gasoline and
had 1,000 left.
Pleased With Trip.
"We are naturally pleased with
the trip, all of us. I expect import
ant changes in the size and speed of
future airships big ships that will
travel 70 to 80 miles an hour and
powerful enough to crawl through
anything."
"This has been a great trip," said
Col. W. N. Hensley, jr., of the
Lmited States army air service, as he
climbed out of the car and shook
hands with the British officers. "We
were lost one whole day because the
fog was so thick we could not get a
shot at the sun, moon, stars, or hori
zon, but we worked out of it and
struck the Irish coast. We passed
over the Isle of Man about 3 o'clock
this morning and then, mounting
above the clouds, witnessed a most
beautiful sight. Above was the
bright moon; below soft, fleecy
clouds, touched with all the colors
of the rainbow, and far down below
occasionally could be seen the dark,
deep blue of the sea. But we did
not have time to admire the beauty
of the scene.
Moved Along in Comfort.
"We soon passed over Liverpool
and then other cities and towns, and
here we are. We suffered no hard
ship and no inconvenience except
that we had no hot water for shav
ing. Our eggs were cooked in the
exhaust of the engines and we had
plenty of other good coffee, tea,
and cocoa to drink. No one suffered
from a- sickness, and while the sea
below tossed by a 40-mile gale, we
v.ere moving along in comfort on
an even keel.
"Regular airship service between
Furope and America is bound to
come and soon."
i lie members ot the crew were
eagerly surrounded by friends who
were waiting at the airdrome.
George Graham, the chief engineer,
proudly carried his pet kitten, which
was born at East Fortune. The kit
ten suffered no inconvenience during
the trip.
"We were never out of touch with
the world, although we met a lot of
fog," said Lieut. R. D. Durrant, the
wireless officer. "It was hot in New
York, cold in the middle Atlantic
and you sec what weather is here."
Brig. Gen. E. M. Maitland, the
reorcsentative of the air ministry
on ihe R-34. who kept the log of the
voyage, said:
"We were sent by the air ministry
to demonstrate that airships can do
a long sea voyage, with the ultimate
view of their commercial use later.
Airships undoubtedly will be used
in the future over the sea and over
land. They will not conflict in any
way with the airplane or seaplane,
but all will work together.
"Our reception in America was

failed to drive the throngs away.
Hundreds of picnic luncheons were
eaten at the Fort Omaha field. A
line a half block long waited at the
Knights of Columbus hut for their
turn at the water fountain. Con
cessions selling pop and "hot dogs"
did a rushing business and side
shows attracted crowds during lulls
in the program.
A huge tent covered a wonderful
exhibit of war relics and was filied
;it all times by interested people.
The only fault the crowd seemed
to find were the large signs pro-

Vaudeville at the Empress.
Two feature acts are on the bill
at the Empress theater this week.
The Galleroini Sisters present a
harmony singing act of popular
songs, comedy, ragtime and an oc
casional ballad. The aerial act of
Zeno, Dunbar & Jordan is the other
hcadliner. V. H. Zeno. famous as
the catc'ier of Stirk and Zeno act,
Archie Dunbar, flyer of the Four
Casting Dunbars, and Gus Jordan,
comedian and all around gymnast of
the Flying Jordans, have combined
in an aerial act that is conceded to
be the superior of any act of its
kind. Santorus and Webb present
the comedy bit of the bill with "The
Customs Officer and the Wop."
Violel and Charles close the bill
with a novelty act in which Violet
runs through an exhibition on the
trapeze while Charles furnishes the
comedy. "The Uplifters," a
comedy-drama featuring May Alli
son is the photoplay attraction.
American missionaries in Perisa
are allowed to fly the flag of the
United States only on occasions of
great danger, according to Mrs. E.
T. Lawrence, who is in this country
on her furlough and who spoke at
the 11 o'clock service at the Third
Presbyterian church Sunday morn
ing. Mrs. Lawrence and htr husband,
Dr. Lawrence, were missionaries at
Kazvm. Persia, at the time of the
war and have been in Persia since
1891. Mrs. Lawrence told of their,
trip home through the war-torn'
regions of Asia.. In peace times the
journey, she said, was made in a
month. This time it required four
months on account of their coming
around through India and Hong
kong They were escourted the first 150
miles by the Russian Red Cross
and the next 500 miles by the Eng
lish army. There was a 500-mile
trip down the Tigris river. The
most interesting part of the river
trip, Mrs. Lawrence said, was when
the Darius rock was pointed out to
them and also the reputed tomb of
Queen Esther.
Millions Starve.
Mrs. Lawrence declared that part
of the world suffered the severest
during the war. Two-thirds of the
native pastors were killed and the
missionaries were reduced from 75
to 34. People sold all their clothes
for food and then starved by the
millions. She said she saw whole
families, parents and children, lying
in rows who had died of starvation.
One woman vas discovered who
had eaten over half of her husband's
corpse. She addressed gatherings
of people who were nude, having
civen ud their apparel for some
thing to eat.
The missionary drew a dark pic
ture of conditions in that land and
admitted that the work now of the
missionary was discouraging, yet
she declared that she was anxious
to get back to her work and was
hapy that the Presbyterian board
was planning to send 1.3 times as
many missionaries into Persia as
was there previous to the war.

that you are going to drink
