KOREANSSEEK
EMANCIPATION
FROM JAPAN
SEOUL, Korea, May 4 (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—Unifi
cation of the Japanese and Korean
races is impossible, asserts the or
gaizing committee of the independence
movement in Korea in a statement
which it has issued setting forth the
grievances of the Korean people
against the Japanese.
The two chief reasons for Korea’s
effort to obtain, emancipation from
Japanese rule are set forth by the com
mittee as follows:
“Korea is the much older of the two
nations for it has a history of organ
ized government extending over a
period of 4300 years. During a part
of that time Korea sent tribute to the
court of China, but this was nothing
more than an outward expression of
the relation between the imperial fam
ilies of the two nations. Korea was
ever the sole possession of our Korean
race and was never under the actual
control of any foreign nation or gov
ernment.
“The Japanese nation is an entirely
distinct race from the Korean. She
is an island people and her nakedness
of body and mind could only be cov
ered by the civilization she received
from Korea and from China during the
centuries of the past. Her customs,
her literature, her very clothing came
to her through Korea. Of late years
she has added to these the face-pow
der of a western civilization; thus she
becomes the whited sepulchre of the
East. She gives no evidence of moral
force, her actions toward our nation
has proven her to be the embodiment
of cruelty. The evidence is complete
that the unification of the Japanese
and Korean races is an impossibility.”
What are described as “five con
spicuous injustices on the part of
Japan toward Korea” are summarized
in the statement. The committee as
serts that although Korea aided Japan
in the war against Russia, “the dog
has bitten the hand of him who fed it.”
It is alleged that Japan has broken
her promise to pay honor to the for
mer imperial family of Korea; that
it is impossible for a Korean to obtain
fair treatment in the courts when op
posed to the Japanese; that liberty of
speech does not exist and that the Jap
anese arrested thirty-three men who
signed the manifesto of independence
on March 1 last.

CONDITIONS IN
UKRAINE ARE
MOST PITIFUL
STANISLAU, Ukraine, June 13 (by
Associated Press).—Diseases imported
from Russia by the way of Kiev and
Odessa are spreading to such an
alarming extent that the government
has closed the frontiers and closely
examined civil refugees and other for
mer prisoners of war returning to
their homes. An investigation by the
International Red Cross Mission shows
that possibly twenty-five per cent of
the population of Lemberg and other
centers of Old Galicia are infected by
the various forms of typhus, dys
entery, tuberculosis or other infectious
or mental and nervous diseases.
The conditions are considered
worse here owing to closer contact
with Russia. In one hospital here are
500 cases of typhus and 600 cases of
social diseases. For a population of
5,000,000 there are but sixty physi
cians. Thus far six doctors have died
of typhus and three others are ill. The
conditions are made worse by lack of
soaps, disinfectants, change of cloth
ing and sheets. Virtually all the win
dow curtains have been requisitioned
for use as bed clothing or for making
women’s underclothes.
Of a total of 250 drug stores, 200
are without drugs. In the hospitals all
kinds of cases are treated in the same
wards.
These diseases are spreading partly
from Russia where it is affirmed that
the Red Army is contaminated with
social disease to the extent of seventy
per cent. Many diseases also were
spread by Russian prisoners who were
interned in Hungary and who have re
turned to Russia since the armistice
was signed. Many of these were in a
horrible condition. When set free by
the authorities and told to go home,
they crowded the trains in such num
bers and under such conditions that
thousands died of hunger and illness
on the way. One trainload stopped
here and dischared 300 dead. More
than 3.000 such unfortunates now have
been buried here.
In one week there arrived at Kiev
trains freighted with GOO dead. The
diseases are spread partly by vermin.
Lack of food is making conditions
worse. There is no coffee. Tea costs
$8 a pound, bread fifty cents a pound,
sugar $1 a pound and coal, wood and
soap are so high that it costs fifty
cents to laundry one shirt.

EPIDEMIC OF TYPHUS
RAGING IN ARMENIA
LONDON, June 13 by Associated
Press).—“The sights one sees in
Armenia are almost beyond belief, and
the tales one hears are too ghastly to
be Inventions.”
This is an extract from a letter
an Armenian medical officer, writing
from the base of Mount Ararat, to a
fellow countryman in London. The
letter says:
“It may Interest you to know of the
awful state of distress existing in the
country here. Thousands of people
are homeless and absolutely destitute.
In the town of Erivan alone there are
35,000 refugees. Their country has
boon ravaged, the houses burned, and
the survivors who escaped with their
lives have nothing but the rags they
are wearing.
“I have been sent down here to in
quire into an epidemic of typhus
among the native population. It is as
serious as it was reported to be.
"For months the people have been
cut off from all communication with
the outside world, with the exception
of a small area around Erivan. The
whole country has been overrun by its
enemies. There are no supplies of any
kind and the population is on the
verge of starvation, many already hav
provided by law, and deposited by the
treasurer of the Territory of Alaska
in a separate fund called the “school
fund,” and used for no other than
school purposes.
Said tax is now due and payable
and becomes delinquent on the first
Monday in the month of August cf
each year.
All persons subject to this tax are
hereby notified to pay said tax to the
school tax collector, and in case of
failure to do so the penalties provided
in Section 6 of Chapter 29 of the ses
sion laws of Alaska will be imposed.
K. G. ROBINSON,
School Tax Collector.
