Officers on Duty.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 31. Corean in
dependence was declared in a procla
mation "to the peoples of the world.
issued here tonight In the name ot the
"government and the peoples of the
republic of Corea." The proclamation
wai signed by Dr. Synrim Rhee. pres
Ident of the "republic," and J. Kiusic,
linn RnopWcmon onW CnnMot'S. Kimm, chirman of the Corean com
r I mission to the peace conference.
Declaring that Corea was denied free
development as "one of tho alleged au
tonomcus units of a Japanese mock fed
eration," the reclamation said Japan
"recent promise of reforms In the Co
rean Government meant only a new
form of the cruel, denationalizing and
dechristiir.irir'jr vrocese under which
we have suffered unspeakable tor
tures."
Asserting that the Japanese govern
ment is "wholly unfit" to act as leade
for the Corean nation, the proclamation
declared that Japan by "making mere
brute force the sole instrument of he
imperial progress, has emphasized the
merely destructive agencies of society
in direct contrast with the peace loving
and fundamentally, constructive prin
ciples which the Corean people have
demonstrated to be at the foundation
of their system of culture."

FIUME PROBLEM UNSOLVED
Austrian Treaty In Xo Way Affects
Adriatic Question.
PARIS. Aug. 31. fBy the Associated
Press.! The Austrian treaty as it
stands at present and as it probably
will be handed to the Austria ns Tues
day in no way affects the Adriatic ques
tion, so far as known.
The Italian foreign minister, Signor
Tittoni. conferred with Premier Lloyd
George at one of the small towns in
France today and has for weeks been
informally discussing the Flume prob
lem with individual members of the
supreme council, but no positive agree
ment has been reached by the council.
Certainly the American delegation has
not approved any of the proposed set
tlements. although It Is generally con
ceded that the council is not hopelessly
divided, and a speedy agreement seems
likely, with all of Fiume internation
alized.
AMBASSADOR NOT CHOSEN
Appointment of Japanese Diplomat
to V. S. Denied.
TOKIO. Aug. 31. (By the Associated
Press.) No appointment has yet-been
made of an ambassador to the United
States, It was stated at the foreign of

FRENCH BRIDES GO HOME
! Young Soldiers' WItcs Find
American Life Impossible.
PARIS. Aug. 31. Sixty-two French
women who had married Americans,
army officers .or soldiers, and subse
quently had been divorced In the United
States returned to France on one
steamer this week, according to the
newspaper Avenir.
Most of them, the newspaper added,
returned, not because of personal dif

cause of the inability of the brides to
adapt themselves to the American mode

UNREST WARNING SOUNDED
Better Relationship With Capital
and Xew Footing for Wages Will
Be Considered at Meeting.
"WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. President
Wilson, In a Labor day message to
American workers, tonight announced
that he would call in the near future
a conference of representatives of labor
and Industry "to discuss fundamental
means of bettering the whole relation
ship of capital and labor and putting
the whole question of wages upon an
other footing.
The president said he was encouraged
and pleased with the results thus far
of the government's efforts to bring
down the cost of living and expressed
confidence that substantial results
would be achieved in the solving of this
problem.
Patience and vigilance, however, he
said, must be exercised and the gov
ernment's efforts must have the co-op
eration of every citizen.
Labor Asked to Co-operate.
Presumably referring to the existing
labor unrest and threats of Btrikes, the
president appealed to every citizen to
refrain from doing anything that would
tend to Increase the cost of living, but
nstead to do all possible to promote
production.
The president expressed particular
gratification at the attitude taken by
he representatives of organized labor
n supporting the government's pro
gramme to meet requests for increases
hrough a lowering of living costs and
said he hoped that the workers them
selves would "move with the govern
ment instead of against it in the solu.
tion of this great domestic problem."
Patience and Vigilance Urged.
The Labor day message, as made pub
lic tonight at the White House, fol-
ows:
I am encouraged and gratified by the
progress which is being made in con
trolling the cost of living. The sup
port of the movement is widespread.
nd I confidently look for substantial
results, although I must counsel pa
tience as well as vigilance because such
results will not come instantly or with
out team work.
Let me again emphasize my appeal
to every citizen of the country to con-
nue to give his personal support In
this matter and to make It as active

John L. Cope Hopes by Flight of
20 to 35 Hours to Avoid Tor

(Copyright by the New York World. Pub

LONDON, Aug. 31. (Special cable.)
John L. Cope has outlined his plans
for the new British expedition to the
South Pole which he is to lead and
which will start in June next. The
general objects of the explorer are:
First, to carry on the work already done
by other explorers; second, to obtain
further information of scientific and
economic value; and third, to generally
extend the knowledge of the Antarctic
continents.
By using airplanes it is hoped in a
flight of 20 to 35 hours to avoid a
tortuous journey lasting many months.
"We propose to leave England next
June," said Mr. Cope, "and sail for
Wellington, N. Z. Thence we will pro
ceed to Macquaric island, where a geo
logical survey is to be made. Then we
proceed to Scott island and establish
wireless and meteorological stations,
and then we go to New Harbor, where
headquarters will be fixed. Thus, with
our boat and airplane carrying wire
less equipment and these stations es
tablished, we shall always be in wire
less touch with civilization wherever
we go."

STAMPEDE IN 1920 PROMISED
UNIFORMED PEDDLERS HIT
Secretary Baker Objects to "Sordid
Commercialism" In Vogue.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. Secretary
Baker. In a letter to Colonel Arthur
Woods, assistant to Mr. Baker in charge
of obtaining employment for returned
soldiers, makes a request that every
possible means be taken to prevent the
misuse and commercialization of the
army uniform by discharged men.
"I am writing this," said the secre
tary in his letter, made public tonight,
"to suggest that you bring all the dis
couraging influences you can to bear
upon the practice of employing men
still wearing the uniform of the army
to peddle upon the public streets."
In making public the letter Colonel
Woods said:
"If the public will bear in mind that
there Is a job for everyone at better
pay than peddling can yield, and refuse
to patronize these' few men. this sordid
commercialization of the uniform will
die a natural death in 24 hours."

BERLIN, Aug. 31. (Special Cables
Millions of Germans, more or less, are
seriously flirting with the idea of emi
gration, while probably half a million
Germans today are determined to emi
grate as soon as they are able to over
come almost insuperable obstacles.
Many more thousands are expected, dur.
lng the gruelling winter, to make up
their minds to emigrate, with the result
that emigration pressure should attain
its maximum next spring.
A sensational stampede and mass
flight from Germany would be on now
if it were not physically impossible for
more than a very lucky few to leave
the country. Because of prevailing con
ditions emigration at present is and
for some time in the future will remain
negligible. Probably less than 1000
bona fide emigrants have left Germany
since the blockade was lifted. At the
present slow rate not more than 1000
are expected to leave, each month until
the winter sets in.
Serious Problem Foraeen.
Germany's emigration problem will
become a grave reality next year, when
it is estimated that at least 200,000 and
perhaps more will leave despite all
obstacles. The numbers .will, it is as
sumed, mere, se stea.iy until, it is
estimated, an annual maximum of 500,
000 will be reached. The great emi
gration movement, it is thought, will
last 10 years.
Indicative of the future, virtually all
of the limited and otherwise negligible
emigration is heading toward South and
Central America, with Argentina and
Mexico as the favorite destinations. Un
doubtedly, the bulk of German emigra
tion will be to Argentina and Mexico
during the next two years.
Promoters Already Buay.
Emigration is one of the livest topics
engaging popular interest today. Guide
books for emigrants and new publica
tions about Argentina and Mexico and
other distant paradises have appeared
in the market and are selling in large
numbers. There is even a new publi
cation called "Emigrants' Gazette."
Great Crowd Gathers at Invalided
Station When Departure Is
Made for Brest.
PARIS, Aug. 31. Premier Clemenceau,
Foreign Minister Pichon and Captain
Andre Tardieu were among the high
French officers who bade farewell to
j General Pershing on his departure for
Brest today. The American ambassa
dor and his staff and the entire Ameri
can peace delegation were present.
There was a military escort of two com
panies. In saying good-bye to the American
commander, M. Clemenceau declared
that the French people could never ex
press all the gratitude felt for the serv
ices he had rendered. The premier
urged General Pershing to revisit
France and afford the French an oppor
tunity to show their appreciation of the
work he had done in the war.
A great crowd had gathered at the
Invalides station to bid General Persh
ing farewell as he started for Brest,
whence he sails tomorrow for New
York aboard the Leviathan, marking
the close of more than two years' serv
ice in France.
For the past week General Pershing
has been feted by all the prominent
French officials.
In General Pershing's party is his
son, Warren, and his brother, James F.
Pershing, a Chicago merchant, who
sailed recently for a business trip to
France and England, and his aides.
Lieutenant-Colonel Chambrun, counse
lor of the French embassy at Washing
ton, will make the voyage on th
Leviathan.

WAR MEDAL GOES BEGGING
Signal Corps Clerk From Seattle
Doesn't Call for British Cross
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 31. (Special.)
The work performed by Shirley M,
Treen of Seattle as chief clerk and
executive of the signal corps district
was so conspicuously worth while that
the British government has awarded
him the meritorious service medal, but
he does not seem to care.

The army officers immediately planned
a decoration ceremony for today with
the presentation of the medal to be
made by Colonel Otho W. B. Farr, com
mander of this army district. But they
figured without the hero. He was
notified and asked to let the- office
knovv when It would bo most conveni
ent to receive both the ceremony and
the medal. But he must have grown
used to medals and such things in
France for at a late hour not a word
had been heard from him.
JAPAN REASSURES CHINA
Premier Hara Blames "Misunder
standing" of Sincere Intentions.
MORIOKA, Japan, Aug. 31. By the
Associated Press.) In addressing
meeting of the government party Pre
mier Hara laid stress on the import
ance of greater efforts to strengthen
Japan economically for meeting the
conditions of the world economic
struggle.
With regard to the growth of the
anti-Japanese agitation in China and
China's refusal to sign the peace treaty.
Premier Hara declared the situation
was due to China's "misunderstanding"
of Japan's sincere intentions.
"Japan has no ambitious designs
against China," he said. "On the con
trary the ministry is urgently advocat
ing the importance of closer friendly
relations. The day will arrive when
China will come to comprehend the sin
cerity of Japan."

Consummation of a motion picture
theatrical merger, by far the largest
deal of its kind ever formed in the
Pacific coast district, and directly af
fecting seven Portland playhouses, as
well as others in Tacoma, Wash., Butte,
Mont., and Medford, Or., was announced
last night by C. S. Jensen, senior mem
ber and resident manager of the Jen
sen & Von Herberg theatrical interests.
Control of seven of Portland's prin
cipal motion picture theaters, includ
ing the Liberty, the Columbia, the Star,
the Majestic, the Peoples and two sub
urban theaters is announced, as well
as a policy of further expansion of the
big circuit thus created In the north
west. The financial consideration in
the transaction is said to have been
large, but has not been publicly dis
closed. In addition to the Portland phase of
the 'merger, the transaction includes
tout bf vTacoma's leading motion plc
ture tlve&ters, the Victory, the Rlalto,
the' :Coknjifl - aj) the Strand. Two
houses.a(t Butfe. are also taken in, the
Rialto an'd.thePaoples; while the Lib
erty theater. Medfordj formerly con
trolled by the People's Amusement
company, also passes under the new
management.
Plan New Playhouses.
Projected plans of the new manage
ment in-elude the construction, in the
near future, of modern motion picture
playhouses in Everett, Bremerton and
Yakima, Wash., while other deals now
pending will provide important addi
tions to the circuit before the en I
of another season.
The Peoples theater Is the oldest of
motion picture amusement houses la
the Portland field, at least among tha
larger theaters, and was launched
eight years ago the present fall. Mel
vin G. Winstock, who created the
house, pioneer in the field which was
then opening, is now a prominent fig
ure in the exchange world, as district
manager for the Metro with headquar
ters in Seattle.
The Majestic theater was first op
erated at Fifth and Washington, by
Edward James, and was moved to its
present site, at Park and Washington
streets, in 1912. It is at present un
der the management of J. J. Parker.
The Liberty, latest and largest of
local picture houses, was opened as a
theater for stock shows and vaudeville,
by Sullivan & Considine, in 1914. The
Empress and Orpheum circuits used it
for a time, before It became the Broad
way theater. In 1917 it was closed, and
was reopened in completely remodeled
form by Jensen & Von Herberg, be
coming one of the famous motion pic
ture palaces of the northwest.
Portland Named Headquarters.
Head offices of the controlling com
pany will be maintained in Portland
under the direct supervision of Mr.
Jensen, who has been a resident of
Portland for the past two years.
When interviewed late yesterday af
ternoon, Mr. Jensen said that he
wished emphasis to be laid upon tho
fact that Portland will be headquar-
ers, and added that he was even then
on his way to inspect a residence
which he intends to purchase.
Our firm naturally feels a pride of
achievement In the results thus far ob
tained In the policy, recently decided
upon, or rapid expansion in our meain-
cal holdings," said Mr. Jensen. "Wher- .
ver we find a playhouse of the re-
auired standard, that may be reason-
ably acquired, we shall take it over
and extend to that city the benefits of
that excellent service always given in
our houses.
"This leads me to a statement con
cerning a far more important view
point of our activities, that of the
general public. Realizing that we per.
sonally book plays that are seen by
more than half a million patrons every
week, we feel a sense of solemn and
tremendous responsibility to the public
in our conduct of this big amusement
amalgamation. The motion picture is
at once the school pulpit and moral
guide for millions of Americans.
Unwholesome Plays Barred.
"The firm of Jensen & Von Herberg
will never intentionally make a dollar
at the expense of public morals. Wo
cannot all think alike on the question
of what may or may not be shown with
propriety, but anything that we think
has any element of the unwholesome
is rigidly barred from our screens.
Everyone nowadays goes to the mo
tion picture theater. It has become
the one big amusement of the civilized
world. So intimately has the photo
play become woven Into modern civili
zation that a big theatrical firm is, in
the truest sense, a servant of the pub
lic, and must show pictures which
make folk better and happier, pictures
which trend toward the realization of
humanity's highest ideal.
"We do not forget," added Mr. Jen-
tConcluded on Page , Column 1.)
