MILES DAVIS, IN A SILENT WAY (Columbia). With his customary ingenuity, Miles has turned up some rock samples that should do America proud. By sitting Pianists Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and Joe Zawinul down at electric keyboards and adding John McLaughlin's guitar, he has found a new sound formula. Using the impressionistic surge of piano, throb of bass and clockwork clack of drumstick, Miles conducts melodic tracking expeditions into a curiously peaceful space...
...CHICK COREA: TONES FOR JOAN'S BONES (Vortex). There is a brilliant clarity, like tumbling diamonds, to the tones Pianist Corea polishes off here. His touch is firm and percussive, his ear tuned toward a definite, stirring pulse. In Litha he strings together quick, imaginative melodic fragments that are the mark of the alert modernist. When backing the other soloists (Joe Farrell, tenor; Woody Shaw Jr., trumpet), he spreads sprays of dazzling notes that support and enhance the horns' flights. In Tones for Joan's Bones, he displays a more reflective gleam by smoothly rolling the melody...

Even taking into account the fact that the province of Chientao, in which Hunchun is located, has been a center of operations for the exiled Coreans who are rebelling against Japanese rule in Corea, there is significance in the realization that this case, like so many others before it, demands action that coincides exactly with Japan's imperialistic designs. Japan has already seized Vladivostok, from which it is unlikely that she will be driven by Russia; she has Port Arthur, Darien, the South Manchurian coast, and Shantung and the adjoining part of the Northern Chinese coast. The province of Chientao...
...delay by about 8 hours, but the remaining loss was enough to make him miss his boat at Vladivostok. He left the Trans-Siberian, therefore, at Harbin, and taking the South Manchurian Railroad to Moukden he was able to get a fast train to Seoul the capital of Corea. From here a fast train took the traveller to Fusan, at the Southern Extremity of Corea, where he took a boat to Japan...
