Millions OF Chinese Deliver

Paris, Friday. May 2.-(By The AS
sociated Press.)-1n declaring its dis
appointment with the decision of the
council of three regarding Kiao Chau,
the Chinese delegation to the peace
conference, in its statement today
said the decision gives Japan practi-
cally control Of northern China. The
statement reads:
1.-THE Chinese delegation has been
informed orally on behalf of the
council of three of the outline of the
settlement proposed regarding the
shantung question: Under this settle
ment all rights to Kiao Chau formerly
belonging to Germany are transferred
to Japan. While Japan voluntarily
engages to hand back the Shantung
peninsula in full sovereignty to
China she is allowed to retain the
economic privileges formerly enjoyed
by Germany.
"These privileges, the delegation is
informed. refer to the Taing Tao
Gilman railway, 2SO miles long, the
mines connected with 1t and the two
railways to be built connecting Shan
tung with the two trunk lines from
Peking to the Yangtse valley. In ad-
dition. she obtains the right to estab-
lish a settlement at Using Tao and al

to confirm an act OF aggression which
