FOR
SEOUL. Korea., Mar. 25.—The I

eans on March 13th to throw off
the irksome yoke of Japanese dom

pendence, is still steadily continu
ing, in spite of the efforts put forth !
by their intolerant rulers to stifle it. I
The Koreans, very wisely, are con
fining their efforts to passive re
sistance for the present, in the hope 1
that their case will be given due
and full consideration at the proper
time by the League of Nations,
which, as they understands, is form
ed under specific covenants for the
purpose of affording mutual guar
antees of political independence and
territorial integrity, to great and
-mall states alike.
The feeling of resentment against
he Japanese for their oppression
>f the people of the country, how
jver, has resulted in numerous riots
n the Interior. In many of the
arger cities of ttie Interior shops
lave been closed and Japanese com
nunities have organized volunteer
iefense corps to meet sudden up
risings.
The people are being kept in
formed regarding developments 'by
neans of a mimeographed news
paper, which is printed and cir
culated in secret.
The Japanese authorities. who
tave seen the paper, have been un
able to locate the mimeograph which
does the work, although some of
their best detective talent have been
detailed on the job.
