AA1ERICA THEIR JDEAt
Government "Will Follow Gen
eral Plan of That of
United States
It Is the intention of the leaders In
the Korean provisional goemmeflt es
tablished in Manchuria to make a
Christian country of Korea once the
country Is free from Japan.
This would make Korea the first ln
' dependent country In Asia to become
Christian, and Is In accordance with
the declaration of Dr. syngman iinee,
newly appointed secretary of state of
the Korean provisional government,
made today In this city.
"The Koreans would not Btand for
any heathen autocratic government like
that of Japan," Said Ur. Mhee.
"They have been trained under Amer
ican Christian influence and the lend
ers are all Imbued with the American
democratic ideas. Seen of the eight
members of the cabinet of the Korean
provisional government are Christians,
and our government will naturally fol
low the American form of government,
as far as we can.
Hate Idol Worghlp
"Ken the general mass of Koreans
because of their experience under the
Japanese regime realize the evils of
monarchical government. Beside, the
Christians are the moat educated and
enlightened and Influential people
throughout the country. Koreans are
united In their demand for a democratic
Christian government like that of the
United States.
"Hatred of Idol worship Is at the bot
tom of tho detestation wblch Koreans
feel for Japanese authority, which re
quires worship of the Mikado's Image,
"Hundreds of times havo Christian
students Pn Korean schools, when forced
to the public celebration of the Mikado's
birthday, refused to bow their heads
before this Image because it is ngalnst
the Christian teaching of tho Second
The last postponement was lequested
this week. The Dunn bill also was
given an extension of time when It was
reached Tuesday on the House third
reading calendar.
Vorcr Again C'hinh
Two of 'he Brady measures, the one
which would set back the date of the
primary and the other which would
pment the county commissioners from
counting the ballots hen they are
candidates for re-election, are under
stood to be marked for slaughter. The
third measure, which would rip out the
present board of registration commis
sioners, is hanging fire.
Tnlted States Senator Penrose Is said
to be desirous of haIng It passed. The
Vares are opposed to it because they
control both the majority and minority
members of tho present board.
The Vares also nro opposed to the
Ddtx bills to Increase the number of
assistants nnd detectives nttached to
the office of the district attorney. At
the request of tho Vare forces a hearing
on the bills has been scheduled for April
15, nnd some warm verbal tilts between
District Attorney ltotan unit Director
Wilson, who aro both scheduled to ap
I"car at the hearing, nre anticipated.
Independent leaders also plan an
amendment to one of the Brady registra
tion bills which would make one of the

BISHOP PUTS SUBSTITUTE

Prohibition Forces Should Be Active to Fliul Place of Entertain

Declares Episcopal Prelate Here From Kentucky
trtTTHAT will be the substitute for
VV the American satoon when this
country goea dry? Will the forces which
eagerly deprived the masses of drink
be equally eager to provide them with
some other entertainment?
These weer the two questions which
Bishop diaries E. Woodcock, ot the
Kplscopal Diocese of Kentucky, asked
as he left Philadelphia today after his
week of midday Lenten services at the
Garrlck Theatre.
Bishop Woodcock lias been lsltlng
this city for twele ya,rs at the Invi
tation of the Brotherhood of St. An
drew Kplscopnllans from every quar
ter of Philadelphia have crowded the
Oarrlck Theatre In a manner to make
the treasurer of that establishment turn
green with envy? Kvery day hundreds
of men and women were turned away
after every seat in the house had .been
tiled. Bishop Woodcock dally shook
hands with hundreds of persons who
filled the theatre corridors hoping for a
chance to speak with him.
The bishop Is a man sixty-five years
old, who has the appearance of a man
of fifty nnd th.e activity of a man of
thirty. His face Is thin and lined, his
eyes are cool and leel In their glance
and his face Is deeply tanned, ns though
a great part of Mb life was spent, out of
doors.
His o!ce has a remarkable robustness
and vigor, combined with a clarity of
speech that flits an auditorium with
ease.
Spends a Boy Hour
At . the time he was interviewed
Bishop Woodcock was looking after a

of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew,

Captain Ralph W, Knowles, of Ger
mantown, commander of ,tho 103d
Trench Mortar Battery, the converted
First City Troop, refus;d fle Belgian
war crosses during the last days of the
war whllo the battery was fighting
on Belgian soil
One of the crosses was for him per
sonally and the remaining four to be
awarded by him among the other mem
bers of the battery. He turned them
down because he thought It would be an
Injustice to those members not receiving
the crosses, as all had done equally well
In the fighting.
This became known for the first time
at Camp Ulx, where the battery ar
il ved yesterday for demobilization. The
men hae been quartered at another
New Jersey encampment awauins
traiibfer to Dix. T.hey are expected to
he mustered out within five days.
At Varennes the Germans were flee
ing so fi-' th.it the battery waa unable
to keep J"with them with the regular
trench mortar bombs. Captain Knowles
commandeered a German cannon which
had been captured and Borne ammuni
tion and converted part of his force
Into an artillery unit.
The battery'B heaviest loss occurred
at the Argonne, where a German shell
exploded In the midst of a pile of bombs.
Kleven men were killed and more than
twenty were wounded by the resulting
explosion.
Lieutenants J. T. Cartler, J. D. D.
Splllan and Ralph Doane are the other
officers of the battery now at Camp
Dix.
"America should help our cause for
her own sake. Korea Is the natural
buffer state in the Hast, situated be

Like Belgium, for this reason, sho has
always been tho battlefield of her
neighbors.

her Independent existence till ten jears
ago, when Jnpan treacherously annexed
her In spite of her solemn treaties nnd
pledges to protect Korea's political In
dependence and territorial Integrity,
A Peace-Lot Inr People
"The Korenns are naturally a peace
loving people, prone to the peaceful
development of the arts, sciences and
religion, which they Introduced Into
Japan centuries ago.
"The Koreans are known as men of
the pen, while the Japanese nre men of
the sword. If only the Koreans are
given the opportunity to develop them
selves without outside Interference they
will produce a new model of Christian
civilization in Asia.
"Although I appreciate the honor
wlOch has been conferred upon me by
the new provisional government, yet
personally I would have preferred to

"Three weeks ago, when I heard of
the establishment of a Korean govern

president of the Korean National Asso

Next Bishop woodcock was asKeu
what he thought of Philadelphia after
his twelve Lenten Visits here.
"Speaking of attendance at these serv

form of world organization which will
uphold International right and justice."
Doctor Rowe spoko this afternoon at
the University of Pennsylvania. After
tracing the history of the Monroe Doc
trine he declared that America's tradi
tional Isolation has disappeared, it
must be made, clear to the nation, he
asserted, that the entry of tho United
States Into the war carried obligations
which cannot now be escaped, even It
America desired to escape them.
Even the full development of America's
democratic institutions. Doctor Rowe,
continued, depends on some effective
world organization. Lack of some such
aid to permanent peace, he said, will
mean big armaments here for self-pro
tection and the emphasizing of the prin
ciple of authority rather than that of
Individual liberty.

Daughters of 1812 Elect Officers
At the annual mntlng of the Stephen

1812, held at the PlaBtlo Club the fol
lowing officers were elected yesterday:
Regent, Airs. AiDert 11. ruz; vice re
gent. Mrs. Henry C. Pennypacker; re
cording secretary. Miss A. M. Robinson ;
corresponding secretary, .mis. ueorge
McKarlnnd: treasurer, Mrs. George Goe
bel : registrar, Mrs. Relnhoel Knlpe ; his
torian. Mrs A. E. Moffat, and dlrectbr,
Miss Mary Kvans. ,
Thev flocked to the sermons from
every part of the city and from every
walk and station in lire. Ana ipey
were admitted as they came, and rich
sjid Influential citizens were turned
away because poor men had already
been seated. The services were a lesson
In democracy.
Bishop Woodcock was asked about
Bolshevism whether there was any
thing pointing toward International
brotherhood In the Russian revolution.
He said he wanted to know more about
the Bolshevist! and their was before
he discussed them.
Always Packed Theatre
Bishop Woodcock was born in New
Britain ( Conn. His first post was as
curate In Grace Church, Baltimore,
where he remained two years, rnence
he went to New Haven, where he re
mained for four years; to Ansonla,
where he served for twelve years, and
to St. John's Church In Detroit, where
he, served five years. He was here In
1904, when he was elected Bishop of
Kentucky. He was ordained In that
office on January 25, 1905,
Since then he has lived In Loulsvitle.
Two years after he had been chosen
bishop he was Invited by the local
Brotherhood of St! Andrew to speak
here at midday Lenten services. It was
thn nlan of the brotherhood to hold the
services In theatres and thus to popu
larize them. Year after year Bishop
Woodcock has returned to Philadelphia
during Lent. And for the laBt several
years he has drawn what the theatrical
people call "capacity houses." Indeed,
If he were worldly, be might borrow
another actor's phrase and say that he
had "turned 'em away.
A large proportion of the bishop's au
diences are men. Business men, profes
sional men, clerks, soldiers, sailors and
shabby little old men who may have
been hunting jobs were to be found In
the Garrlck during the luncheon hour.
Good and Evil In All
Just as he departed from the theatre
for lunch Bishop Woodcock gave mis
farewell thought to Phlladelphlans:
"Remember that there Is as much
good as there Is eyll In all men. Only a
man will usually take pains to conceal
the good that Is In him and will laugh
openly about his wickedness. We have
plenty of facilities for hearing evil. Let
Us have more facilities for the hearing
of good. Let us seek the unselfish spirit,
the h'gh purpose, the desire for right
which exists in men and women. We
should hear more about them."
Bishop Woodcock is married. Mrs.
I Woodcock accompanied blm to this city.
