'G0TO SEES FINISH
OF SHANTUNG| ISSUE
Japan's ex-Foreign Minister
Says China Will Get Just and
Equitable Proposal
DENIES SECRET AGREEMENT

Washington, Oct. 3.-Baron Shin
pei Goto, formerly japanese foreign
minister and a member OF the Japanese
diplomatic advisory council, said in an
authorized interview here yesterday
that Japan ''intends to settle" the
6hantung question $50 promptly that
st is impracticable to set a date"
Baron Goto came to Washington, en-
toute from Paris to Toxic, to pay his
Jcspects to President Wilson, but was
prevented by the Presidents illness
from calling at the White House.
Japan, Baron Goto said, will soon
ratify the Versailles treaty, and when
that is done she Will ask Germany to
Aand over to her all documents con-
eorning Shantung, ''Then," Baron
Goto asserted, "Japan will sub
Eit to China n definite and liberal pro-
tosal as to the settlement of German
rights. I am confident that this will
be done within few months"
The former foreign minister was
asked to express his view of the Senate
discussion on the Shantung question.
He replied that his former connections

such that his remarks might be mis-
interpreted as an expression of official
opinion. He added, however, that he
admired all publcists, whether in or
out of the Senate, who have spoken
frankly and straightforwardly for or
against the Shantung settlement in the
peace treaty"
Baron Goto continued:
Il have reason to believe that the
plan for Chino japanese co operation
for the operation of the former Ger
man railway of some 270 miles and the
former German mines in Shantung has
already been formulated in way de-
cidedly favorable to ChinS.
"Some people are still talking about
the apparent indetinteness of the time
limit within which japan intends to
restore Kiauchow to China. Well, |
think it would be easy for Japan to fix
such limit, if the time she intends to
take to settle the matter were to extend
over a considerable period, say two or
three years. The fact is that she in
tends to settle the matter so promptly
that it is impracticablc to set date
'Japan will soon ratify the treaty,
and when that is done she will ask
Germany to hand over to her all docu-
ments concerning Shantung. Then
Japan will submit to China definite
and liberal proposal as to the settle
ment of German rights. am conf
dent that this will be done within a
few months. And when that is done the
fair minded Americans will agree that
the adjustment is just and equitable.
Referring to the statement emsnat-
ing from China and appearing in the
papers to the effect that the Chinese
peace delegation had not known of the
Chino Japanese agreement of Septem-
the Peace Conference. The intimation
is, I take it, that japan kept that
agreement secret. How strange that
some people still think that the Ameri-
can public can be gulled by such obvi-
Gus distortion of facts and, may say,
such childlike assertions

SLAVS ORDER TROOPS

Peace ENJOYS Believe Certain
italian Element Has Chip
on Its Shoulder

Paris. Oct. 3.--(By A. P.)-Comply-
ing with suggestions of members of the
Supreme Council, the Jugo- Slav Gov
ernment has instructed all Jugo- Slav Of
1icers to avoid clashes with the Ital-
ians.
This precaution was advised because
there appears to be general belief among
the peace delegates that a certain ele-
ment among the Italians is seeking trou-
BILE with the Jugo. Slavs as an excuse
for the seizure of additional territory
along the Dalmatian coast.
Cleveland, Oct. 3.-Gabriele dan
nunzio, the poet captain who led Ital-
ian troops into Fiume, was termed "a
fanatic and desperate trying to impose,
through blackmail, a solution of the
Adriatic question:" in resolutions
adopted by the Jugo- Slav Republican
Alliance at its closing session here last
night.

N. Y. REALTY JUMPS
Assessed Valuation In 1920 VIII Rise
S252,516459

New York, Oct. 3.-Total assessed
valuation Of New York real estate in
1920 will reach $S,271 ,157 ,60S, an in
crease of $252, ,516, ,459 over the present
year in the five boroughs of the city,
according to figures made public here
by the Department Of Taxes and As
sessments.
Although only 6130 new buildings
were erected in the current year, the
report says, the increase in the assessed
valuation was due to the "higher mar
ket value of property" due in part to
rent profteering by landlords. Person
al property assessments, the board
says, were reduced to $7S5. .947 400, as
compared with 81 ,306, ,040 ,625 this year.
Among the personal property holders
John d. Rockefeller heads the list with
an assessed valuation of 1000 900.
The next highest was Edward s. Hark-
ness, 81 ,09O, 600; George F. Baker,
81, 900, 900, and Cathleen Vanderbilt,
81 100000. John d. Rockefeller, Jr.,

lake, Luzon, was chiefly covered by
grasses and small trees before the

but the eruption destroyed all plant
life except some clumps of bamboos
and a few bananas in the northern
part of the island. In report on the
revegetation w. H. Brown, e. D. Yer
rili and HI. S. Yates note that in six
years 20 vascular plants had been re-
corded, the chief species being few
grasses. OF the total, 81 per cent
were probably introduced by BIRDS
about 20 per cent by the wind and
about 10 per cent by the water-a diff
ferent showing from that Of the more
exposed Island Of Krakatoa, in the
Strait of Sunda, where the chief work
of birds was small. The growth of
vegetation in Volcano island is still
