WHEN IT'S TIME TO DIE
Korea is doomed, of course, ?s an in
dependent nation. There is no chance
to stop the Japanning of the peninsula
In many ways the Korean* have deserv
ed their faie. They have sinned by
omission as well a> commission. But
the latest news from the Hermit King
dom -hows that there is still some mac
hood. some courage, soma love of free -
dom, in Kori'a.
The Japanese forces detailed to dis
arm the Korean army found thai their
prestige was not enough, though they
hail shown the Koreans the terrible
power of Nippon, in the Utissiau war.
It isn't likely that any of the Korean
soldiers imag.ued that they could resist
successfully whatever program Japan
had decided upon. But there were
Korean* who refused to give up their
arms simply because it was ordered in
Tokyo. They resisted so seriously that
forty or more of them were killed or
wounded before the Koreau army was
rendered absolutely helpless.
This is better than tauie submission
to the inevitable. There are times
when death in certain defeat is not alto,
gether futile. One of these occasions
came in Korea, when the Japanese gov
eminent ordered the disarming of Kor
ea's feeble littl'i army. Korea is still
supposed to have national rights anil
national existauce. Its soldiers could
not decently staud passive and b* strlu
ped of the weapons giveu them to de
tenu their native laud. When that oc
casion cauie the Koreans, very properly,
decided that it was the lime for them
to die.
TREATMENT OF THE SOLDIERS
It is rather amusiug these days to hear
the comments that are made upon the
army of the United Slates when the
question of war is discussed. Everyone,
who is at all patriotic, lauds the men of
L'ocle Sam when it comes ti> their light
ing merits. However, when things are
quiet one does not hear many encom
iums about the men of tba rank- In
fact it has gotten now so thai soldiers
wearing the uniform are not treated
with any degree of consideration what
ever.tn any number of hotels they have
been refused meals and cases are known
where they have been denied rooms at
h >teU at late hours of the night. Take
any enormously wealthy family and,
when it comes to the marrying off of
the daughter, the mother will nine
times out of ten pick out a puppet l>uke
or Lord to be the husband of her daugh
ter an officer of the line is beneath
their nation. Of course people have a
right to marry whoever they please,
prusidtd they obey the restrictions ut
the laws as to the number of times they
commit the otTense and otherwise ar
range matters properly, anJ the way a
man treats a soldier is a matter that is
to be determined by himself, but then it
does seem to tit is nbwspai>er that if
much i> to be expected of our armv in
times of war, decent treatment should
be accorded the men in times of peace.

UNITED STATES: SOLDIERS I
PROTEST AGAINST CLOTHES
- ? . ?
New York, Aug. IT ? The "Jack
Tars'' of the Hulled States navy have
made such a mighty protest against
the time-honored beadgAr and blouse
they wear ashore and on dress occasions
aboard .ship that to meet che clamor of
the eolisted men. the navy department
has appointed a commitee to decide on
change in the uniforyi. Captain Hugo
Osterhouse, cotrmaoder of tly: battle
ship Connecticut, is chairman of the
coiiimittee. Captain Osterhous has
sent out a statement to the captains of
all warships in the North Atlantic
squadron and to tho commanders of
every ship in the service asking for
suggestions.
The enli'ted men are desirous of
obtaining coats anJ vi/.or caps- Many
of them want the wide (taring trousers
*L. *
the world around changed Into the
ordinary pattern. But the chief griev
ance of the sailor relates^) the blouse
and old-fashioned pancake caps.. These
caps are said by all seamen to be ab
solutely useless on a windy day ?s they
cannot be kept on the head. They
afford no shade to the eyes and jeetn to
exist merely as a relic of the pas'
The protest over the blouse is consid
ered well justified in the navy. In the
first place the seamen object to the j
wide collar which blows up around
their ears on a windy day. They want
shorter neckerchiefs and coats cut like
those of the marines.
Should the sailors dementis be grant
ed, it will be the first time in_ the j
history of the American navy that sea
men have worn coats.
OLDEST ENGINEER IS
KILLED BY ENGINE
. Chkago. An?. 1".? James Banta, the J
oldest engineer on the Illluois Central
road, was strck by au engine and
killed while crossing the tracks yester
day. For 44 years Buna nad driven
or -'Oked engines over the tracks on
which he met his death and had ?ur
vived four wrecks without injury.
Bauta, who was <>0 years of age was
struck by a train which he himself h.td
driven for ten ye -re. He was soon to
retire on a pension.
Anions dangers that Bantu survived
before he met his death were: Kxplo
<iou of hi? locomotive holler, twice
running into an open switch, and once
faliiug through a cab window while the
ocomotive was running at full ?i?eed
Kngineer George A. Abbott of the
Chicago, Burlington ..v Vuincy, yester
day ran over and killed three men
near Chicago, bringing bis list of
victims to nearby 40 men, women and
children. Abx>lt, who has been 30
years in thei service, related his
experiences of horrors while waitim
for his traiu to po out at tbe I* ui> i>
station.
"From a haunted nerve-wrfvked
man," he said," I seeui to have becomi*
a part of the engiue I drive, i prob
ably have been the most unfortunate
railroad man in the country. I canuot
remember the exact number of per>on^
vhit have been killed by the engiut ?? 1
have driven, but 1 should place the
number bt-tweeu Ito and 40. T have
driven engines into groups of men and
killed five at a time. I have seen a
woman hurled as high as over the
telegraph wires at the side of
i he tiack from the front of my
engine, ant] have seen men rollrd
along the ties by tbe tender 1U0 feet.
"1 hive had so many harrowing ex
periences that I have become s) inured
to the sight of a face distorted in death*
staring at me from the wheels of
my engine, that I believe I aui un
affected."
COUNTESS CASTELLANE TELLS YOUNG
NEPHEW SHE DESIRES NO MATRI
MONIAL ALLIANCE WITH TITLES
New Yurie, Aug. 17 ? Jay Gould, the
young sod of ueorge Gould, who won
the international court teuois cham
pionship in England last June, returned
from his triumph today.
He .said (hat while abroad he hail vis
ited his aunt, the Counters of Caste! -
lace, in Paris. No mention had been
made to him of a possible marriage of
the Countess to the F'rincs L)e Sagan,
who is said to be so great a spendthrift
that Count Bom is a miser in a compar
ison.
"1 am confident that niy aunt Is not
engaged to marry the prince aO'l never
will bi," said young Gould. "Prom
what she said to me I do not believe she
will ever marry again."
THE OCCASION
The clouds of smoke seen pouring out
of The Alaskan office last night 'vere
not occasioned by a fire. The smoke
was caused by a visit from Floyd Hush,
Purser of ihe Humboldt, who was
married in this city on bis last trip to
Skagway. The cigars proved that if
Mr. Bush is as good judge of wives as
he is of cigavs there will be no break
ers encountered on his trip on the mat
