WILSON LEARNSOF
SECRET TREATIES
MADE WITH JAPAN
Japan's Claims Backed by
England, France, Italy.
and Russia
AN AKWARD SITUATION
Promise Was Made Two Years Ago
That Japan Should Have All
Islands North of Equator

PARIS, April 22-No delegation
outside those of the powers directly
concerned is more interested in the
outcome of the Adriatic controversy
than the Chinese, for there is a point
of curious similarity between the
quarrel of Italy and Jugoslavia and
that of China and Japan over the
Chinese Province of Skantung. There
is also this difference: Italy is strug-
Cling to get the debatable territory
promised her by England and France
as an inducement to enter the war.
Japan is fighting to get admittedly
Chinese territory as a reward for let
ting China enter the war. -
Japan bases her case on secret
agreements made by England,
France, Italy, and Russia in February
1917, they would support Japan's
claims to the German Pacific islands
north of the equator, and to the Chi
nese territory of Shantung from
which Germany had been ousted. Evil
dence of these promises given to Jap
an is contained in hitherto unpuhlish-
ed notes which are part Of this cable
dispatch.
Neither President Wilson nor the
Chinese delegates knew of the exist
ence of these secret agreement when
they came to Paris. The disclosure
was first made to Mr.. Wilson ut a
meeting of the Council of Ten, when
the question of the mandatory system
as suggested by the American presi-
dent was first under discussion. 1t was
then proposed that the German is
lands be disposed Of by placing them
under mandates
1t was an awkward moment. Mr..
Lloyd George remarked that an ar
rangement of a different character
had already been reached with refer
encc to the islands Mr.. Wilson asked
what it was. Lloyd George turned to
Baron Maxine for an explanation,
whereupon Mr.. Wilson was informed
that Japan had received the promise
of England, France, Italy and Rus
STA, two years before, that she should
have outright all the German is
lands north of the equator, and that
she had agreed that Australia should
have all to the south. 1t was COM
mon knowledge that such distribu-
tion had been long contemplated, but
nobody outside the Foreign Offices of
the governments directly involved
knew that there were definite, signed
agreements concerning the deal.
After learning so much Mr.. Wilson
asked if there were any other secret
agreements which had not been pro-
duced at the conference. 1t was
then admitted that the agreement
with Japan also included the British,
French, and Italian promises to sup
port her claims to the Chinese Pro-
vince of Shantung as the price Japan
demanded for allowing China to enter
the war, ,\despite the fact that China
had been repeatedly trying to get in
to the war against Germany of her
own volition.

LONDON, April 23.-Rumor the
Soviet government has been establish
ed in Turkey which attracted so much
attention yesterday, remains without
confirmation and is now credited with
considerable incredulity. 1t is pointed
out that the source of the news (Od-

GERMANS ATTACK
THE AMERICAN RED
CROSS in KOVNO
"A Lithuanian Soldier Was
Killed in Defending
Americans
GREATLY INDIGNANT
Kovno Unit is a Branch of the Red
Cross Mission to Poland Organ
lied in Paris
GREATLY INDIGNANT

German troops have attacked the
American Red Cross Mission at Kov-
no, Lithuania, according to a cable
gram received here recently from the
Lithuanian National Council from it's
Paris representative. The message
gave neither the time nor the result
of the attack. A Lithuanian soldier
was killed in defending the Americans
it was said. The cablegram read:
"The American Red Cross Mission
at Kovno, Lithuania, has been at
tackled by German soldiers. While
defending the Americans one Lithua-
nian soldier was killed. This aroused
the greatest Indignation in Kovno,
and the funeral of the hero developed
into a great demonstration against
Germans. =
No advces of an attack on the
mission have been received by Red
Cross authorities here. The Kovno
unit is branch of the American Red
Cross Mission to Poland. Its personnel
is not known here, as the work in Po
land and Lithuania was organized in
Paris
"The American Relief Administra-
tion has consulted the Lithuania del
egation in Paris and is sending sh;t.
laden with food and medicine to Lith-
uania," the Councils cablegram add
ed. "Also an agreement has been
made with the American Red Cross
to send food, clothing, and medicine
into Lithuania from it's base at Cop
enhagen. Koyno has become the seat
of the allied representatives in Lith-
uanfa
"The independence of Lithunia is
becoming clearer. Shortly the ques
tion of Baltic States, Finland, Es-
thonia, Latpvia, and Lithuania, will
be discussed by the Peace Confer
ence.
"The Poles intend to recognize
Lithuania's independence and enter
into an agreement to form common
defensive military front against the
Bolsheviki. The fight of our heroic
army against Russian Bolsheviki is
-oceedlng successfully.
"The allies are sending a mission to
investigate Lithuania conditions"
WASHINGTON, April 22-Ameri-
can Red Cross officials had received
no confirmation Monday night of the
reputed attack by German troops on
it's representative in Lithuaria. One
official stated that there was no dis
tinct mission sent by the Red Cross
to Lithuania. A mission was sent,
however, to Poland, and some of
it s members probably were operating
in the district where the attack is said
to have taken place.
The mission to Poland was sent to
supervise general relief work. The
Health Commissioner of Buffalo was
selected as it's head. Another member
was Frank America, also of Buffalo.
There have been no recent reports
received by the Red Cross which in
timated that the mission was in any
danger at the hands of the Germans.
1t has been difficult, however, to OBJ
tain regular reports concerning all
the activities of the mission 20 Po-
land An immediate investigation will
be ordered.

BUDAPEST IN PERIL
Socialists Losing Control and Fear
Anarchy Will Rule With Reign
of Terror

BUDAPEST, April 25.-This city
is going through crisis far worse
than that of April 8. There is appre-
hension that there will be a violent
swing to anarchy with Socialists los
ing control to the Bolsheviki leaders
like Bella Kun and chiefs of the Red
Guard. Looting, which hitherto has
been held in check or legalized as
naturalization Of property, and
assassination of the old political
leaders and aristrocrats are feared.

companies had complied with the law.
Compliance with the law, it was said
by state department officials. would

Blazing Bits Fall on Women and
Children. as Balloon
ExplodeS.
SHAKES EARTH LIKE QUAKE
Persons Near Scene Were Blown
Twenty or Thirty Feet by the Con-
cussieG--l1ouses a Mile Away
Were Damaged.

Baltimore, July 3.-The big navy
dirigible C-S, commanded by Lieut.. N.
j. Learned with crew of six men
and two passengers bound from Cape
May, n. j., to Washington, exploded
with terrific force just after landing at
Camp Hoiahird. near this city at L. 80
to adjust rudder trouble.
The explosion shook the canton
ment and the eastern section of the
city like an earthquake. The great
balloon instantly became a mass of
flames.
Shooting flames and bits of blazing
fragments scattered over the crowd of
nearly 200 persons. men, women and
children, who had gathered on the
camp field TO see the huge flyer, and
many of whom were blown partly
across the field.
Seventy-tiye persons. mostly women
and children, were burned or other
wise Injured None of the officers or
crew of the C-s was hurt, though sew
eral of them suffered severe shock.
They were at work on the disabled
rudder when the explosion occurred.
According to the commander the ex-
plosion is believed to have been caused
by rapid expansion caused by heat.
The bag contained more gas than was
required after descending from a cold
er altitude temperature.
Lieutenant Learned was In the Office
of the camp adjutant notifying the
naval authorities at Washington by
telephone of his rudder trouble when
the shock of the explosion nearly took
him Off his feet
Some OF the persons, including Camp
Holablrd men, who were near the
dirigible, We're blown 20 or 80 feet by
the concussion. Houses a mile away
We're shaken and windows broken by
the shock. The air was filed with gas
fumes.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel
Park, half a mile from the scene,
looked as If cyclone had struck 1t.
Door ard window frames were twisted.
Window panes were broken. There
were burned marks all over the house.
Mrs. Pank, who was on the second
floor, was severely burned.
