JAPANESE AND CHINESE
 DELEGATES IN NEW YORK

New York. July 2O.-Members of both the Japanese and Chinese dele gations to the peace conference reach ed here today on the Aquitania and spokesmen for both sides issued state ments regarding the Shantung award.
 Quo Tai-Chi, a Chinese technical delegate to the conference, said the decision involves glar.ng injustice to China.
 "It is true that Japan has promised to return Shantung. but she will re- turn but a shadow and keep the body. She will retain control of the railroads and establish Japanese settlement which will dominate the region,' he said.
 Whit her fortified positions at Darien, Port Arthur and Manchuria she will absolutely control the ap- breaches to PekIn and all of China, and with her Pekin to Tsing Tao railroad, the Japanese scheme for the absolute control of China will he com plete."
 Yami Kawa, accompanied by K Adachi, leader of the Japanese house Of commons, both technical advisers for Japan in the conference, said Japan was entirely satisfied with the peace terms, and that her delegates cannot understand why China does not take a similar attitude.
 Japan made sacrifices when she took Shantung from the Germans" he said, while China was impotent and accomplished nothing The set- clement has been fair and the province will eventually be returned 10 China"

ITALY TAKES PRECAUTIONS
 FOR EXPECTED STRIKE

Rome, July 20.-(By The A. P.)- The government has taken police and military precautions to prevent or re- press any disorders that may arise tomorrow if the anticipated strike is carried into effect.

Armored cars with machine guns have been placed at strategic places, especially at the central police headquarters, at the treasury build ing and at the Bank of tally.
 Speaking in the chamber of deputies yesterday, Premier Nitti, in referring to the proposed strike. said that his firmness would be unshakab ble in deal ing with it.

In stead. he regretted to announce that disorders had already occurred-that bombs and other explosives had dam aged railway lines at several points, but that the railway men themselves had repeiared the damage.

Noulens food minicter, but that AL bert F. Lebrun. minister of the bier ated regions. will be succeeded by Senator Charles Jonnart. now govern or of Algeria, Lebrun taking Jonnart's s post
 This change is supposed to be due to criticisms of the SlowneSs with which the government is solving re- construction problems.
 Some of the deputies who voted against NJ. Boret are supporters of the government on general olicies and would vote differently on an issue up on which the fate of the whole cabinet would depend. NJ. Noulens' great popularity in the chamber. is also an element of strength. Nevertheless, the current is said by some experts to be running strongly against the cab inet on financial and generou econo- mic policies.

U. 5. Investigates
 Attack on Sailors
Boatload of "Gobs" From U. s. s. Cheyenne Robbed By Mexicans - Washing ton. Makes No Attempt to Minimize Gravity of Situa- ton.

Washington. July 2o.-AIthougf
 neither the State nor the Navy Depart ments received any. further informa- tion today regarding the attack ant robbery on July of boatload o1 American sailors from the U. $. $ Cheyenne . in the Temesi River near Tamp:co, Mexico. the incident con- tinued to eclipse all else in interest in official circlcsas There was TO at
 tempt to minimize the gravity of the
 situation as expressed in ofI1cial cir
 cles when the first reports reached the
 state department yesterday.
 Additional information is expected
 by both departments within very
 few days, probably tomorrow. At the
 navy department it was said that there had been nothing received to indicate wlle iher the note of inquiry addressed
 by Secretary Daniels late yesterday to Commander Earl Peck Finney of the cruiser Topeka at Tampico, who reported the attack, had been received by the officer.
 Some delay in the receipt of answer to the secretary's message of inquiry was anticipated because of ina ability to communicate direct by wireless with the Topeka-due to the existence in the Gulf of Mexico of what is known by radio experts as a static the secretary's message undoubtedly would have to be transmitted oyerlan wires from Galveston. Texas. to Tampico, and telegraph communication over Mexican wires is subject to consider able delay.
 While Commander F'inney undoub-- edly has investigated he affair thoroughly, it was pointed out that in view of the request for a fuller report and result of investigation" Ee might deem it expedient to inquire further before replying.
 The attack on the American sail ors was an incident which eclipses all other matters in interest in the capital today, and it is expected the state de- partment after receipt of further de- tails will ask the Carranza govern ment to apprehend and punish the as- sailants. If unable to carry out this request, according to diplomatic practice, the Carranza government next will be asked to disavow the at tack.
 It was learned today that the point on the Temesi river where the Ameri- can sailors were attacked is only three miles in a direct line from the outskirts of Tampico. Officials here in close touch with the Mexican situation estimate that there are at least l. 900 Carranza troops in the Tabpico district.
 The attack on the Correll family oc- cured near Colonia, about thirty miles from TanIpico. late in June. His assailants, reported to have numbered about 50. also maItreated his wife and wounded his son.
