Followed German Example.

PARIS. June IS GHavas)-In the
completed peace treaty signed today
at Versailles. the newspapers say
were certain stipulations which. it
was hoped, would hasten ratification
Of the treaty by the German national
assembly.
The Journal says that the allies
following the German example of
1871, stipulated that the liberation of
German prisoners would be dependent
upon ratification Of the treaty by the
| German assembly and that if the Ger
mans approved the treaty at once
the prisoners would be released with
out delay

May Be Looking to President.

In some places it is thought that
both the Treasury Department and
Department of Justice officials are
awaiting possible action by President
Wilson. If he declares OFFICIALLY that
rehabilitation has been completed
prior to July l it will do away with
the necessity of any action at this
time by either of the above depart

Attorney General Palmer may have
some announcement to make on OF
after July /. it was said today, but it is
reasonably certain he will not forecast
his attitude.
Commissioner Roper of the bureau
or internal revenue said today that
his agents would report promptly any
violations of the prohibition act that
they discovered, but that the prosecu-
ton of such offenders would be in the
hands of the Department of Justice,

Secretary Glass already has pointed
out that the prosecution of liquor
manufacturers or sellers, except
where the payment of tax was in
volved. was outside the province OF
the bureau of internal revenue and
has recommended to Congress the
creation of a prohibition commission
to be part of the Department Of
Justice.

Officials Here Not Surprised.

Announcement from Paris that the
Chinese delegates to the peace con-
ference would not sign the peace
treaty unless further limitations were
placed on Japanese control in China,
particularly in the Shantung penin-
sula. came as no surprise to officials
of the State Department. though none
of them is prepared to say whether
this would seriously embarrass China
after the league of nations became
operative.
1t Is recognized that many persons
in this country, including members of
both houses of Congress, are thor
oughly in accord with the position
China has taken in the Shantung con-
troversy. Germany. by the treaty of
1897, acquired sovereignty over this
peninsula for 4 period of ninety -nine
years, and China insists that Japan
shall not control the province for
such a period.
The understanding here has been
that private assurances have been
given China that Japan's tenure of
Shantung would not be for long, but
apparently this is not satisfactory to
the Chinese government. China also
is insistent that Japan be made to re-
linquish control of the railroad from
Using Tao to Tsin Aufu. including all
facilities and mining rights: of the
Using Tao-Shanghai-Che cables
and of facilities of the port of Kiau-
chow Nothing of this nature has been
included in the treaty.

guests, who were instructed to be in
their seats we'll in advance of the
entry of the delegates. 1t had been
arranged that the delegations instead

being formally announced by ushers
from the French foreign office.
Germans Given Separate Route.
This formality was not prescribed
for the Germans, who were given a
separate route of entry. coming
through the park and gaining the
marble stairway through the ground
floor. There was thus avoidance of
occasion for the guard of honor to
render them military honors, these
being reserved for the allied repre-
sentatives. The dismounted guards

places for the entry Of the Germans.

tasta, secretary OF the peace confer
ence. went to Versailles at sac o'clock
this evening to submit to the German
delegates letter from Premier
Clemenceau, president of the peace
congress. certifying that the peace
treaty to be submitted to the Ger
mans for signature Saturday con-
formed in all points to the text Of
the document submitted June 16.
The Germans had raised the objec-
ton to NJ. Dutasta that the text of
the treaty must conform with the text
Of that previously submitted before it
would be signed. This protest, which
ordinarily would have required sew
eraI days to answer, will be obviated
by the letter that NJ. Clemenceau has
submitted.

Last-Minute Changes.

Last-minute changes were made In
the program to expedite the signing
Of the treaty. Two additional tables
were placed beside the one within the
historic hall of mirrors on which the
peace treaty was laid. One of the new
tables held the Rhine convention and
the other the protocol containing
changes in and interpretations of the
treaty. All these documents had to be
signed by each plenipotentiary and
the arrangement Of the tables thus
enabled three persons to be engaged
simultaneously in affixing their sig
natures.

Strategically In,portont

Shantung is strategically important
because Of Its geographical position,
imme edately south of Port Arthur, and
because it is the province Immediate
ly adjacent to Chilli province, in which
the Chinese capital is located. Through
the province of Shantung the only rail-
way artery connecting Peking with
Shanghai, the principal Chinese sea-
port, runs approximately north and
south; and connecting with this trunk
line at Tsinanfu, tho capital Of Shan
tung, is the Germanbuilt line to the
former German port and fortress of
Tsingtau in the district and on the
little bay called Kiao-chau
1t is obvious why the Japanese, who
have always looked with suspicion and
distrust on the encroachments of the
European nations in China, have seized
the present opportunity to rid their
giant but feeble neighbor of the Ger
mans. whom China herself neither
would nor could put out. 1t is Japan'a
policy-for selfish purposes, unqucs-
tionably but very human ones--to pro-
tect China from further white aggres-
sion, because Of the danger OF that
aggression to japan; and the only way
the Japanese feel they can insure
their safety is by laying prior claim
