KOREAN STUDENTS ANGRY | . Once Befriended By Missions They | Would Now Oust Them. Korean students befriended' by | principals of the Hission schools dur- J ing the suppression of the Independ- | ence movement are demanding changes ! in teachers and curriculum which scne believe will force the mission schools ! out of the field, says a Seoul, Korea dispatch. Sides $re' being sharply! taken in the controversy. One school i of thought, critical of the Japanese j government declared that the "impu- i dppt demands" of the'student's are be- < iug inspired by a "Hidden Hand," in ' older, "that the Vflteslopnries may be deprived of thefrtiaal slfreji of influence and either be c^htfent with complete | subservience;< utr will pleur out alto- j -- i ,, ^nllotroc hflVP !

It is quite j natural that students of rntesiof schools want, as they do, improvements in thesb respects, so that after gradua- ! tion they may not bo handicapped in their future career. It is not fair to call their demands impudent. - Nor is it just to say that they receive benefits for nothing', for as a matter of fact they pay comparatively high tuition ffces. , "It is interesting ,tp nojo that during the independent Sgitatlon, when hotheaded Korean -young men advanoed impudent demands without showing any sense of ' grptitudc to a government which saved their country from complete decay and conferred up<^n its people innumerable benents, no word of cen$fcrc*Vds uttered by the missionary quari or. against their conduct; Tlie tables are now turned. It is the missionary qufirter against which hot-headed Korean youngsters have rebelled." ) The movement started in the Paichai Haktang, a boy school, directed by the American Methodist Mission the students agitating for the removal of the Rev. H. D. Appenzciler, the principal, on the ground that* it waa'-disgracefUl for a foreigner, to conduct a Korean school. Mr. Appcnzeller, taking a firm stand, the students, or a majority of them, rhadc a series' of demands, which not being complied with, they went on strike! 'These demands were: 1?Morning service should be abolished. * 2?Bible teaching should be done away with.' ., , j ., 3?Teachers educated in foreign countries should be dismissed as they arc ignorant of educational methods fitting conditions in the Orient. 4?Teachers ifcd'Ud ' exclusively be those graduating from schools in Japan and Korea. 5^?Salaries 'of Japanese and Korean teachers should be made equal. It was pointed out that in recent years much has been done to bring the schools into line with Japanese government schools and that religious instruction had been limited and the principal asked until autumn to consider the demands. But thq boys remained obdurate and the movement has spread to other mission and private schools. ' TRIBUTE TO MOTHER Beautiful Truth as Expressed by a Soldier. Few more beautiful tributes to the ; nation's motherhood have been uttered | than that spoken by Sergt. Charles L. Mattson, of the "09th Sanitary Train, the Omaha Ambulance Company, ijuring the Mother's Day services at Camp Taylor, Ky. r Sergeant Mattsop'is the-son of Dr. and Mrs. Alfred, S. Mattspn, 5117 California street, Omaha. He went to Camp Taylor with the Omaha ambulance j company, and on the transfer of First Scrgt. Hart Jcnksto the aviation ser-i vice, succeeded ;o that Soldier's posi- j tiott. As speaker for the company at tlie exercises, here is what he said: "The word 'mother' should be to the) son or husband the same as the word ; 'attention' is to the soldier. 'Attention' j straightens the body, puts the mind and every nerve, on edge ready to.exe- | cute any and all commands at once. ' 'Mother' calls to attention every fibre J of his inner nature, called conscience; 1 puts him on the defense ready to up hold and protect the best that is in himself. " 'Mother' stands for the very best j thing's that are in his life. N'o matter what eret d or religion a man may have or even if ho refuses to Acknowledge any, he lias nevertheless a certain form or code of ethics which he consciously or sub-consciously parries out. It is a sense of rigb^ and wrung imbued in him by his mother In the hundreds of ways only a mother has. - | "On joining the army and throwing j off all the cares and obligation^ of . civilian life Uu,.vipe human factor that i will influence .<,ntj. control him is the thought of mother and home. "The soldier boy means everything } to his mother.* He is her boy; a part of her own life, and body. All his life she has sacrifleAcT bersyll' for liimland when she gives him to her country, she gives a part of herself. He ent< rs into a new life, a complete change, full of exeitemen . plenty ,to keep busy body and mind. She stays at home, possibly all alone. She misses him. but hides it within herself all to cheer htr son. "Some of us do not wear our hearts on our sleeves, but down underneath we feel a quickening, we hardly know how to term It, at thought of rfmther and homo, and in: the'fhvjl test - that k will bring out all 1-lfat Is in us. We A are i? this war to protect mother and honiCv^5uV*'e6utifry iis* a com^niirTtion I i IRISH FIGH1 f . i The fighting in County Corl of the rebels and culminated in shows^an rmoured car about to I of homes. Do away with the home life and all that surrounds it, the foundations of the nation itself will be undermined , and it will not last. The home centers around mother. It is mother, boys, whom we are lighting for. Sne risked her life to bring us into the world, and her life has been one of self-sacrifice to give us all. We cannot, afford to take the chance in our training work to jeopardize her safety by running amuck or depleting ourselves physically for a few moments of self satisfaction and gratification. If your own mother is not living, some other mother has no son to protect her; and it's up to you. When you fight for mother, you fight for home, and when you fight for home, you flpht for your country and the ideals of a democracy that has made possible the home you wish for our mother. "Here's to the sweetest and dearest of all God's creation, the personification of oil that is choice and best in life, the only sure and last resort of the nation in dire distress, the ideal you, the country's protectors, will light for and give your lives for?mother." Sergeant Mattson's commanding officer was so touched by the soldier's speech that he summoned him and complimented him with great feeling, j He then stated that if he could over I grant the boy a l'avor, he hoped he I mtglit be given the opportunity. "You can, sir," replied Sergean^ Mattson. "Give me a furlough to visit I my mother." He got the furlough. ? j UUljl) ftHt MLLLU ? Pack of Eighteen Pays Penalty for Attack on Man. Mrs. Mabel Bolardi's dogs paid with their lives for their faithfulness to the mistress at whose frightened cry when attacked, she says, by Albere Disc, a neighboring ranchman, the entire pack . of 18 sprung on the man and almost j tore him to pieces. Louis Balardi's dogs had long her n j known around the town of Antelope for their ferocity, relates a Sacramento, California dispatch. On all the ranches in the vicinity they were fear- i ed. Belardi and his wife, loved them, I however, and though the Bclaruis were too poor to feed themselves, took good care of thorn. Bisc, whose place adjoined the Belardis", had hern keeping the couple, according to his own account, enough to eat, but a few days before j his death lie told Constable Davis of i' Antelope that lie intended to cut off these supplies. When, shortly afterward, his body, terribly mangled, was found in his cabin, it was suspected i that the Belardi dogs h.ul killed him.

The right of the income tax bureau nt the tr; usury to seize practically all records of individuals and their families probably will be tested in court, says a Savannah, On., dispatch. At a meeting of well ikhown business men md merchants it .was decided to send a legal representative to Washington to take the matter up'with Secretary Mellon. These men declare they have made proper returns and that the "snooping'' plan is unjust. A representative of the department lamed Guiding has been in Savannah 'or some days. He demanded in the name of the government that the local >unks f;ive him transcripts of the accounts of many prominent citizens. I'lie banks were compelled to comply vith his demand^ Not only were tiic K i sunal accounts-of the men involved iITectrd, but also those of- their wives tnd kinsfolk. Among those whose hank recounts arc undec scrutiny are heads ?f city government, departments and a eminent momb<*t'? of the bar. There are between 'JO and 100 cases ill told. What creates so much indiglation is not that, the government is rying to colh et Ittffk"income tuxes, l>ut lccausc of the circumstantial report hat an organjzcc%!b'ffort is being made o connect up olflcials in' some way villi the bootlegging business. Iieccnty flu; government has had certain (veil known men under surveillance, ind it now is intiniated that it is hoped :o broaden the inquiry. There se^ms to* be r.o redress this side of Washington? so at the meeting if the men affected it was decided that the matter would be taken up at the lational capital with tlie idea of getting .he proceedings straightened out or, at east, limited to the matters permitted ty law. What is objected to is a"Ilshng excursion." Home of the parties invoh d already lave filed a bond to seek release of nil daims that might be later made, tutors refuse to do this, inasmuch as up to ,hc pics nt there has been no effort to :ie up the bank accounts with court iroceedings.
