SHERMAN WILL VOTE
FOR A LEAGUE If

Springfield, Ill, April 23.-United
States Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman
will vote for league OF nations pro
viding it deos not create a power over
the United States government. So he
declared in an address at the First
Methodist Church here. when he at
tackled the original plan of the league
as detrimental to the interests Of
America. He deplored craftsmanship in
the matter.
1T is too great a question to allow
partisanship to enter he said. 1T is
too big for one party to handle and
by all means the league of nations is
not a political question. In my mind
il is the greatest of all questions con
fronting the American public since the
days OF the signing of the independ-
ence from Great Britain"

SECRET TREATIES
ASTONISR WILSON
PRESIDENT is INFORMED FRANCE
AND ENGLAND AGREED TO NIP
PoNEsE CLAIMS IN CHINA AND
FAR EAST.

Washington, April Z9.-lt now APP
pears the secret treaty between Great
Britain and Italy, by which Italy was
guaranteed possession OF the. Dal-
matian coast, was not the only Sc
cret arrangement entered into by the
allies in conIavention or President
Wilson's fourteen points.
There was also a secret understand
ing between Great Britain and France
and Japan by which the British and
French governments were committed
to recognition Of the legitimacy of
Japan's claim to possession Of she
German Pacific islands north Of the
equator and also the concession
which Japan demanded Of China in
STanlung peninsula. taken over by
japan early in the war.
Wilson Is Amazed.
Reports from Paris state that the
revelation of the secret Arrangement
between Great Britain and France
and Japan relative to Japan's claim
to tine Pacific islands and valuable
richts in Shantung came as com.
plate surprise to President Wilson
and the American high commission
place credit in these reports be
cause / recall that when I was in
Paris the attitude Of the American .
high commission was that China was
justified in resisting Japans demands
to rights and concessions in Shan
tuns which, it was held, would give
Japan practical control of that rich
province
The Chinese contention was that
the treaty under which the rights
were conceded and the concession
made to Japan was signed by China
under compulsion
Choice Chinese Had.
The Chinese asserted that they were
given the alternative either Of sign
ing The treaty offered or having Ja-
pan declare it's possession Of Shan.
tunS permanent.
Moreover, it was said by the Chin
ese that one Of the conditions i'm
posed on China by Japan was that
China was not to convey any infor-
nation to the European allies of the
coercion used by Japan to compel
acceptance of its demands.
The American representatives, r
knew, put faith in those representa-
lions Of the Chinese, Their attitude
N January was one Of resistance to
Japans claims
They were strongly inclined to the
'iew that the treaty between the two
oriental nations dealing with the
iernan Pacific islands and rights

not be permitted to become operative.
