Guiding Russia, pledged themselves to
support Japan in return for her ma
terial support with arms and munitions
and in other ways when Russia sorely
needed help,
Here we have another threat to leave
the conference, the Japanese saying
they can withdraw without America
being able TO apply food or financial
serews TO their detfiments but as It
was not believed the Italians would de-.
part, so 1t Ia also believed that the
Japanese cannot face the odium Of OPP
posing Wilson on matter Of principle.
especially in view of the fact that the
Britieh home and colonial governments
all sympathize with Wilson'S position.
On the other hand, the Japanese
realize that surrender on their part
will gravely injure their prestige
among the Chinese, and statesmen here
say they cannot accede to Wilson's
ideas because, right or wrong, the Jap
anese people will not permit them.

treaty to the Germans Friday or Satur-
day of this week. The drafting COM
mittee worked all OF day, while the
members of the Council of Three we're
taking a respite from conference work
The French idea is that the text Of
the treaty is nearly completed The
military and naval sections have been
finished, with the exception of the stu
alton as regards the Kiei Canal and
some secondary points.
Aside from the disposition of Kiao-
Chau, which some Of the delegates are
confident will be settled tomorrow,
there remain to be settled conclus vely
questions Of the customs regime in
the Duchy of Luxembourg, the DISPOSE
tion of the German cable lines and the
repatriation of German prisoners Of
war. The report Of the special COM
mission on the latter question is ex-
pected tomorrow.
1t was said tonight that all the
other problems had been solved and
drafted into the articles of the treaty,
including the control of the west bank
OF the Rhine. The latest reports are
that secret plenary session will be
held Thursday or Friday evening for
communication of the terms to the AL
he'd and associated powers.
