Says Shantung Restitution
Hangs on Chinese Attitude
TQpQneSe Premier Announces That TerritOru
Occupied by Japanese Forces viii Go Back
to China Without Unnecessary DELAY.

that American troops entered the
Japanese concession in that city on
the night OF March 12, and that Amer
lea should recognise the truth of this
assertion. In connection with the
consortium it is understood that the
United States recently called Japan's
attention to the tardiness of the Jap
anese in reaching an agreement with
the United States, Great Britain and
France concerning the details of the
agreement. 1t is pointed out here
that business interests are insisting
Japan should not abandon the prefer
entail loan rights already acquired
In Manchuria and in eastern and inner
Mogolia, and that any arrangement
should be based on this consideration.
Officials have assured the correspond
ent that they favored the consortium
in the interests Of China and conf
dence is universally voiced that the
matter will eventually be settled.
Newspapers, which are reappearing
after the recent shutdown, due to
printers strike. attack the statement
made by Viscount Uchida on August
2 as an abandonment OF an exclusive
Japanese settlement of the Kiaochow
matter and the substitution Of an in
ternational agreement. They say that
it indicates weakness on the part of
Japanese diplomacy and claim the
rights won by the sacrifices Of the
army and that Tsingtau should be
tenaciously held.

will be made without unnecessary delay,
but tho time required viii be dependent
upon the attitude of China, said Takashi
Hara, Japanese premier, today in an
swer to a question az to when actual
restoration would take place.
The premier in answering the query
Of the Associated Press made the fol-
lowing statement:
my colleague, Viscount Uchida,
minister of foreign affairs, issued a,
statement on August in explanation
Of our policy respecting the Shantung
question. That statement represents
the considered opinion of this govern
ment. and I have little to add in deal
ing with the same subject.
(Viscount Uchida, in his statement
which was referred to by the premier
Shantung to China and would enter
into negotiations with the Peking
government as soon as possible after
the Versailles treaty should be rati-
fed by Japan.)
THE question is often asked as to
when Japan will return Kiaochow to
China. I would point out in reply
that for the restitution of Kiaochow
detailed arrangements should be
worked out beforehand in common
accord between the Japanese and Chi
nese governments and that the length
of time required for such arrange
ments depends largely upon the atti-
tude of China. In any case, we fully
reaize that 1t Is as much in our own
interest as in the interests Of China
to accelerate the conclusion of all
needed arrangements and to effect
without unnecessary delay the resti-
tuition Of leased territory which we
have solemnly undertaken"
Feeling in America Disturbs.
Premier Hara and high onicials Of
the Japanese government discussed
ira frankly cs,,.d with h., the correspondent what

were plainly disturbed by reliable
reports received here showing un-
eastness as to Japan's attitude rela-
sentiment of discomfort. among the
friends Of Japan, but felt Japan's re-
peated assurances as to restitution
with the premter's statements to the
Associated Press today should clear
misunderstanding.
It 10 frankly admitted here that
Japan's so-called militarism is respon-
sible for such uneasiness abroad The
critics, who call Japan the Germany
Of the far east" neglect to take
into consideration the internal and
historic reasons which led the Japan
ese people to vsnerate the army and
navy, including the historic roles
played by the Choshu and Satsuma
CLANS, which are. respectively, behind
the armys and navy. played in the

there IL a distinct movement under

under date OF September 30 stating that
r. Tredwell Smith, who Is with the
Americana Relief Commission,
passed through Constantinople on the
18th instant coming from Erivan, Uru-
mia, Nakhichevan and Tabriz. Toward
tho end of August, crossing for the sec
ond time the Tartar lines from Nakich-
evan and Tabriz, he found that the
atmosphere was altogether changed. He
found that a Britshers life was no
longer safe, because there were no Brit
ish troops. Ho also found that the
Americans too we're in danger.
ION July 20 the Tsrtars commenced
battle on the Armenians and Nakhiche-
van and at the end of the three day
battle they drove out the British along
with the Americah relief workers and
started n massacre of Armenian women
and children and men at Nakhichevan
The number of victims is estimated be-
tween 5000 and 10000.
Americans testified to Mr.. Smith that
when they crossed into Persia at the
Julia Bridge the river was full of head
less, nutilated bodies. When Mr..
Smith returned along this river Into
Russia human bodies were still seen
along the river banks.
Turks Reinforce Tartar Troops.
HALL Bey, who was formerly the
commander OF the Turkish troops on the
eastern front, Is now commander of the
Tartars and Is bringing in Ottoman
Turks from Bayazid via Maku over the
narrow gauge railway in order to attack
Reivan. It appears that nothing but
allied forces can stop the fall of that
city. Tabriz and northwest Persia are
at once affected by what happens In the
Caucasus. No American has been safe
in Urumia since the tragic events which
took place in May and June last, and
the 5000 Assyrian refugees in Tabriz'
who now exist on aid received from the
American relief commission, lead a most
| precarious life.
SHOULD Erivan he captured by the Tar

tian and anti-foreign propaganda will be
