Enterprises in Shanting, Including
Railroads and Mines, Joint IN

investigation of conditions there prepara-
tory TO negotiations with China for the
return of its sovereignty over the terri
tory controlled by Japan under the Ger
man peace treaty. The negotiations, Of
cials Indicated would be initiated after
ratification of the peace treaty by the
privy council, which officials said they
expected would take place before Sept.
Is.
Much interest is displayed by officials
here in the inquiries made in the United
States Senate by Senator w +. Borah
Of Idaho, regarding the negotiations at
the peace conference which resulted in
the Shantung. agreement.
Japanese officials said Japan is ready
to make all enterprises in the Shantung,
including railroads and mines, Joint un-
dertakings with the Chinese.
Japan, it is understood, is having diff
Guilty in inducing China to discuss the
Shantung question. Failure of the Chi

gestions for Adoption
With Peace Treaty

STILL UNSOLVED
But Pres. Wilson Was Re-
ported to Be Hopeful of
Early Development

Washington, d. c., July 26.-Shantung
and reservations continued in the spot
light of official discussion to-day both in
executive and Senate circles, though so
far as surface developments were con-
cerned there was lull in the peace
treaty fight. Both the Senate and the
foreign relations committee had adj
iourned until Monday and President Will
son had no Republican senators on his
appointment list,
There were many conferences, how
ever, to talk over reservations proposed
Tor inclusion in Senate ratification Of
the treaty Many senators, especially Of
the pro-league group Of Republicans,
have framed reservations they hope to
see adopted and an effort to agree on
some general program Of action is the
subject of much earnest negotiation.
Although the White House and the
state department remained silent on the
informal conversations under way with
Toxic regarding Shantung, an unusual
element of expectancy was added as a
result of the statement of Senator Spen-
Ger, Republican, Missouri, that in his talk
with President Wilson yesterday the
president showed himself very hopeful Of
an early development to clarity the sit
uation.

AMERICAN PROPERTY

Although German Government Had Is

Had Done So.

Berlin, July 25 (By the Associated
Pressl Germany has not lquidated
American private or business property,
Clemens Won Delbureck, acting minister

respondent to-day. He declared that
Germany, on March 4. 1912, issued a
ruling whereby the liquidation was per-
mitted because America already had done
the same.
While America carried out this liqui-
dation measure, the minister said that
Germany never did so, but, on the con
trary, merely regulated and admins
tered American property. when this
administration is removed the Ameri-
cans will have their free property again,

case of patents we distributed licenses
for their use by Germans in five cases,
but never declared American patents nuu

American patents and trademarks
might be limited in Germany by an act
Of Jan. 3, 1918, if it lay in the public
interest and German could have, I'M
der certain circumstances, license to
use American patent This order was is

passed similar law and operated hesitat-

ing America passed pretentious law
OF this kind, because Germany hoped to

relations with the United States"
The ministry of justice quoted A.
Mitchell Palmer, formerly alien proper
ty custsiian Of America, az having de.
clared in his report to the United States
Senate in February last, that Germany
had done the same as America in liqui-
dating alien property, but had always
been little aheal of America in doing
so.

ceded America and correct to say that
Germany only used retaliation said
