What Dr. Williams' Pink Filla did for a London Lady.

They are capable of giving relief unspeakable to thousands of women who, felther because they cannot afford to rest, or because their modesty keeps them from com

The Korea, Review questions the opinion of Dr. Morrison, the Times correspondent, who in a recent dispatch, quoted in the Chronicla wrote that the continuance of Korea's autonomy WAL out of the question. In an editorial comment, our Seoul contemporary says:~~
"With all due regard to the keenness of his (Dr. Morrison's) observation and the astuteness of his mind we beg to be allowed to hold our judgment in abeyance for a time. We were told in 1894 that Korean autonomy was practically at an end, but to-day, nine years later, we find her exercising complete auto-constantly or nomy. This may not be because of intrinsic strength; but, whatever the reason, it is a fact. Some things are held together by internal cohesion and others by pressure from without Korea may be one of the latter, but it is a prophetic eye indeed that can see signs of an Immediate loss of that autonomy. The Far East has not reached that delicate ad- justment which makes the 'balance of power such a fetish as it is in Europe, but neverthe 'less the dismemberment of a people, even Orientals, that numbers one and a half as many souls as the kingdom of Spain will not be accomplished without strenuous exertion. For the last thirty years old Japan has declar ed herself the champion of Korean autonomy, and the showed the honesty of that declaration when in 1894 she forbare to take advantage of her position and absorb the peninsula. No thoughtful person can believe that Japan would wish to tamper with the autonomy of Korea so long as her legitimate interests here are re- spected. Nor is this fast clause a-loophole of escape from the main proposition. Her in terests are those of commerce, and they are legitimised by the fact that they are beneficial to Korea as to Japan. Except it be in order to safeguard these interests, we do not
WHAT A LONDON LADY DID believe Jacan would be any more ready to asham, London, a courageous and cultured lady, Mrs. Mason, 69, Rosslyn-road, South Totten- sume the administration of civil.government in the peninsula than the United States would be. It would be a difficult, an almost hopeless task. Even a continuance of the present attitude of thinly veiled antagonism on the part of the Government would be preferable to Japan, to the necessity of grappling with the terrific problem of shouldering the administration of the government. It is logically absurd. Who, then, is to disturb the autonomy of Korea? There is only one other possibility, but if there is any one thing surer than another it is that Japan will not allow the autonomy of Karea to be tampered with. If Russia wins, the pre- sentiment of Dr. Morrison may take on substance, but if Japan wins, or if a compromise is effected, the prime feature in it will be the continued autonomy of Korea, unless she herself should act in such a way as to make such autonomyimpassible, and our past experience of Korea does not warrant the belief that she would be other than qalescent, as she was after the Japan-China war, when she was wholly in the hands of Japan.

"Nor must it be inferred that public sen- timent is entirely against Japan here in Korea. Fublic expression of sentiment always follows the will of the party in power in such a country as this, but it would be a mistake to think Korea has witnessed the rise of Japan in vain and that there are not multitudes who see in Japan's achievements the promise of future progress for Korea.
"Preponderance of influence does not neces. sarily impair sovereignty, and so long as Korea is in treaty relations with the rest of the world Powers, and their representatives are accredited to her Court, so long shall we claim that Korea's sovereignty is unimpaired and her autonomy complete.
"And right here it is pertinent to say that we believe that the working out of Korea's political, social and industrial salvation can be accomplished much better as well as much fastar under a separate and autonomous government than under any protectorate that is at all likely to intervene. help to do it. Japan, with all her vigour engendered of feudalism, was not able to be- come what she is without enormous help from
