PARIS, Aug. 5.-Most OF the news

Hungarian situation. expressed the
belief that it would be unwise not -
take every advantage OF the present
circumstances to establish a stable
government in Hungary.

pends on thorough disarmament OF
Hungarian troops and suggested THAI
the victorious Rumanian army should
undertake this disarmament
Nothing better could be wished, &c

Shantung Pact a Fraud
On y. s., Says Watson
Senator Demands 1t Be Stricken
From Treaty or SSWrong viii
Be Heaped Upon Wrong"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. - Declaring
the history OF German and Japanese
acquisitions in Shantung had showed
one wrong heapcd upon another, Sen
ator Watson, Republican, of Indiana,
asked the Senate to-day TO reject that
provision of the Versailles treaty which
gives japan control in SSnntung psniu-
sula.
we went to var, "a part, to undo
the wrong wrought by Germany, and
surely here is one that enlists the SYM
pathy and challenges the attention CT
our country-aye, and of civilization
for it seeks to perpetuate one cf the
most fragrant wrongs cvar Cn.Uniitted 4
ny the agents of the Kaiser upon a
helpless and unotfending people" said
the Indiana Senator.
Replying to declarations that the
German concessions seized by Japan
tory, Senator Watson said that never
theless Japan had sent military force
"entirely through the province Of Shan
tung," had established railroads, mines
and garrisons everywhere. and now was
IN complete military and economic
possession" Of the whole province, with
its population of 26,oooO0O Chinese.
"The President recently has stated y
he continued, "that Japan intends to re-
turn Shantung to China. If that be
true, why is it not so written in the
contract? Japan waged two wars with
the announced purpose of insuring the
independence of Corea, and yet, having
won in both wars, she very speedily
annexed Corea, and in 1910 made her a
part Of the japanese Empire. One of
Japan's alleged reasons for waging war
with Russia was that she wanted to
save Manchuria for China Manchuria
is to all intents and purposes Jap
anese colony.
"The whole story of the treatment of
China by Japan furnishes ample illus
tration of the fact that Japan intends
to cling to Shantung and that her pro-
testations of good faith are not to be
believed. Why was so monstrous a
wrong thus recognized? Simply be-
cause it had to be done to save the
league.

Bella Ku, Rule Marked

BUDAPEST, Aug. 5.-The effects of
ID 1870 days of Bolshepik rule in
Hungary were st'ikingIy apparent to-
day to persons 'Cho entered Budapest,
following the operthro0 Of Beio kmn's
SOVIET government.
Along the country roads women,
ragged and barefooted, sought to
exchange their shoes, which they
carried, for meat for their families.
In Budapest, in the anterooms of
Premier PeidlI and in other rooms
once luxuriously furnished, callers
sit on handsome antique furniture
which, however, is battered, and
chairs have arms and legs missing.
Many things are difficult to get
here. A waiter in the Hungaria Ho-
tel begged the correspondent for
collar. He said he had but one and
1t was wearing out rapidly because
of its constant use and frequent
overnight washings.
The negro chauffeur of an Ameri-
can party, after a few hours stay
here to-day, remarked: "This sure

Toxic Paper Declares
Shantung Debate Unfair
Senate Opposition to Treaty
Is Deplored by Publica-
ton: Terms 4re Defended

TOXIC, July 26.-Agitation ir the
American Congress concerning Japan's
attitude on the Shantung question and
intimations that there exists a secret
GermanJapan treaty are deplored by
the "Jiji Shimpo" cditorially.
The newspaper, usually moderate in
its utterances, condemns strongly
criticisms on Japanese questions and
suggests that if they are political in
nature they are "too dangerous a
weapon" and that Japan, America s
traditional friend is singled out as if
she we're the successor of Prussianism,
against which she fought with the Al
lies
The newspaper emphasized the fact
that "the lack of any japanese terri
torial ambitions in China has been
definitely stated by the Japanese peace
delegates and by the Foreign Minister
himself more than once, leaving no
doubt in the mind Of any fair and in
telligent person that the alleged Ger
man-Japanese treaty is malicious fab
rication"
The agitation is characterized by the
newspaper as "hasty, reckless and un-
just to Japan"

Opposition party in Japan. declared in
a speech before that party here yes
terday that "the Shantung question
was settled as it should have been
settled in the Paris peace conference.
Niscount kato's argument continued
along the usual lines, including refer

(Some extracts from Niscount Kato's

Continuing, Niscount Kato sad
China is a vast country. where there
is plenty of room for Europeans and
Americans. as we'll as Japanese, to work
side by side and extend their interests
in full measure. There is no need for
mutual jealousies. We would advise
the newspapers of Japan not to attack
England and America recklessly. and
at the same time we would inform for
eign newspapers that Japan will never
monopolize interests in China. Japan
is in special relationship with
China, compared with other foreign ma
tions.
"Japan will certainly maintain her
position by every effort. At the same
time Japan Will not object to other
countries developing their power in
China within proper limits. Not only
that, but Japan will welcome them
from her heart. Thus, by means of
peaceful Developments with Japan and
other powers working side by side
China's welfare can be advanced and

Niscount Kato called attention in his
speech to the action of the Anglo

peace in the Far East, nor for the de-

Amnesty Is Granted
Complete amnesty for all political
offences punished under Soviet rule
has been granted it was announced.
DR.. Agoston said he had issued an
order for special protection of foreign
ers in Budapest.
One of the things to be determined
be the degree of specialization to be
adopted. Food is reported to be scarce
in Vienna, and only part Of the stores
are open.
The feeling is said to be growing in
Budapest that the Communists con-
sidered culpable must be put on trial
for certain acts of the Soviet regime
even though it is admitted in many
circles that their action was taken
from political conviction. The charge
of contiscatng private property would
lie against many of the peoples COM
missares.
The demand for the trial of the Com
munlsts, now reported, is one of the
principal reasons for the decision
reached to effect speedily a coalition
of the Socialists, temporarily in
power, with the bourgeolsle, as it is
seen that an entirely sociahstlc gov
ernment guided by socialistc prin-
ciples, would not feel that it could take
the responsibility of trying the Com
munists.
Budapest dispatches state that the
Hungarian authorities Yesterday asked
permission of the Entent to hold cleo
tions for the Constituent Assembly in

forces but belonging to Hungary.

of Hungary have advanced to within

slav forces are also advancing upon

patch received here. 1t is stated that
the Rumanians have captured many
communist leaders at the Hungarian
capital.
