PARIS. July 2.-The Chinese dele
gates to the peace conference expect
to sign The treaty with Austria. c. r.
Wang,a member Of the delegation, told
the Associated Press correspondent to-
day. He said the Austrian treaty con-
tains nothing Objectionable to his gov
ernment, as 1t includes the league of
nations covenant.
The Chinese would gain membership
in the league I'm that manner The
Chinese also will sign the Hungarian
treaty. he said, as China declared war
against Austria Hungary, but they
probably would not sign either the
turkish or Bulgarian treaties, as war
was not declared against those coun-
tries by China.
Messages received from Peking by
the delegation, according to Mr.. Wang,
show the government and the peopie
are heartily supporting the deiega-
tion's refusal to sign the German peace
treaty without being able to make
reservations on the Shantung question.
He said national feeling In China had
been greatly strengthened by the dele
cations action. The deleRation's adj
vices said no new Cabinet had been
named In China to succeed that which
recently resigned, but that Kung Hsing
