By Associated Prsss
PARIS, April 30:-All German
rights at Kiao-Chau and Shantung
province are to be transferred with
out reserve to Japan. according to an
agreement reached today by the
Council of Three. Japan voluntarily
engages to hand back Shantung prov
ince in full sovereignty to China. re-
tanning only the economic privileges
granted Germany and the right to
establish a settlement at Using Tao,
south of Kiao-Chau.
American delegation to the peace
conference regards this agreement as
the best possible solution of the far
eastern problem to be obtained with
out risking a break similar to that
which resulted in the Italian delega-
tion leaving Paris. Confidence is felt
that the league of nations, which will
have control over the future relations
between Japan and China and which
will guarantee the future territorial
integrity and independence of China
will be sufficiently strong to safe
guard Chinese interests and insure
the return of all China's rights in the
Shantung province.
President Wilson and Premiers
Lloyd George and Clemenceau are all
especially eager for the withdrawal of
Allied troops from all enemy colonies
and are confident that the league of
nations can speedily solve pending
disputes when military pressure is
eliminated.
With the Kiao Chau problem dis
posed OF the AdEiatic question is the
only highly important matter remain
ing unsettled.
Peace Preliminaries Monday.
The opinion prevailed in peace con-
ferece centres that the peace prelim-
inarfes will be communicated to the
Germans on Monday afternoon.
Various lesser details of the peace
treaty were taken up today by the
Council of Three, among them the
question of the captured German
cables.
A great difference of opinion pre-
walls in conference circles as to the
effect of the compromise arranged in
the Kiao-Chau controversy will have
in far eastern affairs. japanese dele
gates are pleased over the transfer of
German rights and property to them
and say the agreement virtually car
ries into effect the provisions of the
Chino Japanese treaty of May 25,

The Chinese withhold and state
ment pending the issuance of the ac-
tual wording of the agreement to be
included in the peace treaty.
The owners of the railways out of
Kiao-Chau will use police to insure
the security of traffic. This force will
be composed of Chinese with such
Japanese instructors as the directors
of the railway shall select and who are
appointed by the Chinese government.
All Japanese military forces are to be
withdrawn at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
