This attempt by the BolsheYiks TO
get at the soldiers is significant. The
twelve leaders in whose hands seems
to have been placed the power to
call the revolutionary strike when

sion centred to-day about the telegram
sent to Republican Senators by Senator
Lodge (Mass.). the Republican leader.
and Senator Curtis (Kansas), the Re
publican whip, suggesting that comment
OF the proposed League OF Nations cove
nant be withheld until after O party
conference.
Senator Curtis said that Il was felt
by Republicans that It would be a mis-
take for Senators to enter into discus
sions OF the league plan before knowing
definitely what 1t contained. He added
that this would not be known fully until
the plan Is presented to the Senate for
ratification. He said that many state
ments had been made concerning pro-
posed amendments. as a result Of which
some Senators might be drawn into
hasty expression OF opinion which would
rebound to the discredit of themselves
and their party. He said that no effort
was contemplated toward binding Sem
ators one way or another.
Senator Mccormick (Ill.) returned 20

position to the league as It stood in

CHINESE TO DEMAND
GUARANTY OF JAPAN
Seek Written Promise to Keep
Shantung Evacuation
Agreement.
WILSON STAND AMAZES
Regarded by Many as Incom-
patible With His Attitude
Regarding Fiumc.
BY a Sfn6 Correspondent Of TIE suu.
Copyright, 1919: al >rfohfs res,,,.S

PARIS. May 1.-The official announce
ment from the Council of Three concern
ing the settlement of the Japanese issue
SHOWS that while Japan agrees to re-
turn the Shantung peninsula to China
she retains all of the economic rights for
merry held by Germany, along with the
vTsihg-Tao settlement
Inc agreement mentions no retirement
or Japanese forces, and there Ia some
question whether Japan signed anyo
tning. II so, the Chinese will demand A
written guarantee that the evacuation
agreement be kept.
The official announcement attempts "a
Justify the decision on the ground that
Japan gets only as much as two other
fowers possess In China, and there is
an attempt to pacify China by pointing
out that the future relationship Of Japan
and China falls under the League OF Ma
lions, which will guarantee her terri
torial integrity.
Thus Japan gets even more than was
called for In her twenty-one demands on
China, to the establishment Of the diplo-
mats here.
Apparently President Wilson plans TO
Justify his stand in the Japanese ques-
ion on the ground that the agreement as
reached is in conformity with the four
teen points. which the treaty in this case
will absolutely violate.
The Chinese and many others look
upon the Japanese decision as utterly
Incompatible with the Presidents stand
on Fiume. AS many here see It, the
President has virtually surrendered to
the Japanese to save the league and
keep japan in the conference
1t is impossible to underestimate the
fAr-raaChinn Of Ntirf
here by Japanese diplomacy. Japan APP
parently gets the concession wrung
from China in 1915 through her occu-
pancy of Kiao-C hau and by threats at
frmed by the Peace Conference.
China contended here that these were
given under duress, and that they were
incompatible with the Wilson principles
and the League of Nations plan and
asked to be released on the ground that
the Chinese Government was weak at
the time the concessions were made.
The political rights in Shantung and
kiao-Chau, which Japan agrees to re-
to the economic ascendency she has OBJ
taiDed by her insistence that the confer
ence affirm the validity of these agree
ments extorted from the Chinese. She
gets railways OF the greatest strategic
value in Shantung province. also some
of the largest Chinese coal mines. More
over. the treaty with Germany will turn
over everything to japan without rec
ognizing China.
The Chinese. while awaiting official
announcement, express amazement over
the Presidents decision. coming. as 1t
did, after his stand In the Fiume case.
The diplomats now expect a statement
from the President defending the Jap
anese settlement, and trying to recon-
cile II with the Italian decision.
