Sec. Lansing Urges
 Court Of Nations

Boston, Mass, Sept. 5.-Secretary Lansing, before the American Bar as sociatin here today in his first public speech since returning from the peace conference, gave a warning that the theory of internationalism, of 'Mund- anism," which received great impetus during the war, constituted a grave danger to world order but expressed his conviction that democratic nation alism as sanctioned by the peace con- ference would survive as the basis of society. Secretary Lansing urged strongly the establishment of an inter- national court as modelled by the Hague convention, and founded in the principle of strict legal justice, for the settlement of disputes between states, and the qualification of international law into an exact system. He paid tribute to the Hague convention of 1907, whose work, although imperfect and hampered by the evil purposes which the powers of Central Europe had 50 long secretly cherished" he said, still stands as an instrument for the maintenance of the law of na- tiOnS.

CHINESE PREFER
 HUNS TO JAPANESE
Technical Delegate to Peace Confer cncc Makes Positive His COuntry'S
 Stand on Shantung Question.


 New York, Sept. 5.-Tai-Chi Quo, Chinese delegate to the peace confer ence, replying to a statement by Yos- uki Matsuka, secretary of the Japan csc peace delegation regarding the possibility of Japan's early withdrawal from the province of Shantung said today:
 German rights in Shantung origi- mated in an act of Prussian aggression and piracy. Japan in driving Germany out of China prevented China from participating in the joint Anglo Jap anese military operations against the German forces in Tsing-Tao. Japan thus made it clear that she fought against Germany in order to replace Germany in Shantung.
 Although China was so prevented by Japan from participating in the recovery of kiauchau yet in the ac- tual military operations in the Shan suffered untold hardships and inn mense loss as the results of aggression and violence on the part of Japanese soldiers. China would prefer to have Germany in Shantung instead of Japan if that were the only alterna = tive because Shantung is far removed from Germany while in the hands of the Japanese there is added danger to China on account of Japan's already strongly fortified possession in Korea and South Manchuria.'
