 CH|NA's PROTEST
FIVE ALTERATIONS MADE TOILET CHINA SIGN TREATY LAID
 BEFORE SENATE.
WILSON IS NOT ANTAGONlSTlC
Tokio Told of Senates Opposition to Settlement and Desire For Re vision to Satisfy Aeerieved
 Empire.

Washington.--Se $. Spencer. Republican, of Missouri, laid before the senate what he said was an ofYi- cial copy of China's plea at Versailles against the Shantung settlement
 The petition declares Japans prom ise to return Kiao Chow at some fu- ture date is 'illusory in that il gives no pledge to return also the surround ing territory dominating ,<iao Chow. IL is recitei that the treaties resulting in Japan's claims to kiao Chow, which followed the famous 21 demands of 1915, were made under intimidation. and that Japans real aim in entering the war against Germany was 10 strengthen her position in the far east
 Chinas appeal for abrogation of the 1915 treaties was summarized as fol- lows:
 Il Because these treaties attempt to deal with matters whose proper de- termination is entirely right of the peace conference
 70 Because they contravene tho allied formula of justice and princi- pIes now serving as the guiding rules of the peace conference
 "3 Because specifically they vio- late the territorial intergrity and lpoliti cal independence Of China IS gaa-an- teed in the series Of conventions and agreements concluded hy Great Brit ain. France. Russia and tbe United States with Japan
 "4 Because they were negotiated in circumstances of intimidation and concluded under the duress Of the Japanese ultimatum of May r 1915.
 . Because they are lacking Tn fnaluy. being regarded by Japan. who sought 10 make them final by nefo- tiatinv before China WIS suffered 10 enter the WAT set oi secret agree mcnts at variance with the principles accepted by the heligerents as the basis of he peace settlement
 The petition declares fhat except for the attitude of Japan ehina would lave joined the allies ln August. 1914. or. at least. by November. 1915. in- stesa of remaining out uatn February, 1917 | also declares | Japanese :n- reference had not kept China out of the war uutil after kiau Chow had been captured. "the leased territory of kiao Chow would have been direct ly restored "a China as one of the states associated to wiu the war against the central powers
 The Chinese delegates also charged the Japanese had arranged secret treaty with Russia for q military al lance against the political domination Of China by any third power. but. failed to provide for such domination hy either Japan or Russia or both of them

DEFENDS TREATY PROVISION AWARDING SHANTuNG TERRI
 TORY TO JAPANESE.
INTERPRETATIONS MADE
Gays Shantune Has Population of t65,ooo Instead Of 4o,ooo,ooo as Reported By Some of the
 Opponents.
Washington

Washington
 Declaring the treaty provision grv Ing Japan control in Shantung had been repeatedly misinterpreted ani generally misunderstood Senator Robinson, Democrat, Arkansas, told the Senate it was unjust to suspect Japan's motives or to question the declaration of her statesmen that the territory eventually would be restor- ed to China. Tt has been stated by one senator" said MT Robinson, that by the treaty Shantung, with its 100000 inhabitants, is wresteG from China and presented to Japan. The territory involved in this eontro- versy is limited to a small land area of approximately 200 square mres and an equal water area. The total population of the leased area is ap- proxmately 165.000.
 Little dispute arises as to tho origin of Germanys claims in this area As part of the movement of the nations to secure commissions in China Germany, in 1866. undertook negotiations for rights and privi- leges in the Giso Chow region. These negotiations were successful March 6 1898. Germany concluded q treaty with China by which she ac- qured a lease of 99 years on both sides of the bay of Kia Chow.
 That German regarded her rights in Shantung as subject 10 seizure ov the allied nations at war with her is disclosed by her efforts to anticipate their occupation of the leased terri tory. Japan obtained possession bv act of war. and while in possession secured the agreement of China to recognize any settlement that she might make with Germany upon the restoration of peace.
 Japanese statesmen have repeat edly reaffirmed the purpose 10 return the eeded territory 10 China as soon as 1t can be accomplished in accori. ance with the agreement between China and Japana. No beneficial ef- feet can result if We assume Japan Is acting in bad faith.
