JAPAN PLEASED
WITH COMPACT
Chinese Sentiment on Shan.
tung Issue Differs Widely
From that of Toxic.

Paris. April 3o.-The last vestise OF
doubt as to the authenticity Of the
information contained in last nights
dispatch regarding the shantunr
question was removed tonight when
it was authoritatively announced that
a compromise settlement has been ef.
fected. While Japan Is exceedingly
pleased with the result. China is
equally disappointed.
BY the terms OF the settlement all
the rights In Eiaochow and through.
out the shantung peninsula must be
signed over by Germany to Japan.
Japan engages to return the
peninsula in full sovereignty to
China in due course" and with
draw all japanese military forces
at the earliest possible moment.
That she will reIigiousIy keen this
Undertaking was emphasized by
Baron Maxine. her chief plenipo-
tentiary, today. From his remarks
IL was apparent that the thin-
Japan objected to and would not
have permitted TO pass was any sort
OF expression of suspicion that she
would not fulfill her oblisations.
We have never broken our word
and never will" was the keynote
Of his statement to tournalis.s.
The baron ADDED that the settle
ment is completely satisfactory to
the Mikado's government. and that
there is now no chance of a jap
ancse withdrawal from the confer
cncc.
Unsatisfactory" was the only
comment obtainable at the head
quarters of the Chinese peace mis-

c. SENATORS
IN CONFERENCE
ONLEACUE PLAN
Party Leaders Go to New
York from Capital to
Discuss Procedure. !
SOLID PHLANAX SOUGHT
Members Of Foreign Rela-
tions Committee Among
Those to Plan Fight.

Interest in the league of nations
from the Senatorial point Of view
was suddenly shifted yesterday from
Washington to New York. TO which
city a number of important Rcpubli-
can Senators were summoned for a
private and secret conference.
The conference was called. il is
said. for the purpose OF soiidtfying
Republican opposition to the league
covenant.
A great air of secrecy was main
tanned about the derartur of the
Senators from the Capital. Among
those who left. however, without
heralding their going were: Sena
tors Lodge, OF Massachusetts. and
Brandegee. of Connecticut. both
members OF the Foreign Relations
Committee. 1t was expected that
Senator Knox. of Pennsylvania. also
a member OF the committee. would
join them in New York. Senator's
Wadsworth. Jones. of Washington;
Kenpon. OF Iowa, and FreIinghuy-
sen, of New Jersey. were there al
ready.
Some committee members insist
upon knowing who was the author OF
Article Ten. which binds the United
States to protect the territorial rights
of every other nation in the league,
and of Article Eleven. which makes
every threat of war a cause for
action by the league.
How They Line Up.
An official poll of the Senate, which
was completed yesterday by oppo-
ncnts of the league. shows thirty-four
Republicans still in the tight against
the league. These thirty-four were
all signers Of the round robin and

ened tremendous interest here yester-
day
II the conclave gathers in the White

the scene of the deliberations-after
the opening session-in the magniti-
cent Pan-American Building.
According to officials. President
Wilson, being authorized to call the
league in its first session, will pre-
side at the meetings.
In connection with the event
there would naturally be a diplo'
matte dinner given in the great
State dining room of the White
House and presided over by the
President and Mrs. Wilson.
There also would be a reception
at which members of Congress and
their wives would be present, in
addition to the elite of the Capital.
The event gives rise to one in
tercsting question. Will the rep
resentatives of former enemy pow
ers be invited to the functions il
they have re-established their en-.
bassies here?
Before the United States entered
the war the problem of arranging
diplomatic dinners SO that ambas-
sadors still friendly with the Unit
ed States, but enemies of the allies
could attend. was a difficult one
Two diplomatic dinners constituted
the answer at that tmie. the Presi.

mats and friendly neutrals at one

would be headed by former Premier
Luzzau. but press headquarters sp-
peared certain that Premier ORLANDO
would resume the leadership II they
decided TO return.
American officials were quite con-
fident that Orlando would be back.
Considerable significance was at
tached to the fact that minor repre-
sentatives here have been sounding
out the Americans as 20 whether the
United States woul1 favor conferrins
the mandate for Syria upon Italy if
she would return and accept a COM
promise on her Adriat1c claims.

The uprisings which are now talk
