JAPAN REITERATEs DEMAND
Peace Delegates Refuse to ReIinquish
Claim For War Spoiis.l

CLAIM + or war Spots.
Paris, Feb. Japan has reiter-
ated her intention to hold the Mar
shall and Caroline Islands. in the Pa
cific, which she took from Germany
during the war, as we'll as to insist
upon the execution Of her agreement,
reached in September. 1918, with
China regarding Shantung.
A formal statement to this effect
by Japanese representatives has been
made public.
1t is not considered that the Chino
Japanese controversy or Japan's claim
regarding the Pacific islands are like
ly to delay the society of nations pro-
iect. 1t seems probable, nevertheless.
that these matters will be considered
later by that organization
(Japan's claim ITO outright annex
alton Of the Pacific islands is based
on Il treaty with Great Britain con-
ceding her that territory. The treaty
which gave her railway and port rights
on the Shantung peninsula is now
contested by the Chinese on the
ground it was signed by Pekin un-
der duress. The majority Of the
council Of the great powers is under
stood to have endorsed the so-called
mandatory principle proposed by
President Wilson. By this the former
German colonies are to be placed I'M
der the league Of nations to be ad-
ministered by various nations, manda-
tories. or agents of the league. Both
Japan and Australia were strongly
against the mandatory plan.)

A CHILD GETS CROSS,

Look, Mother! If tongue is coated,

If your little ones tongue is coat
ed, it is a sure sign the stomach liver
and bowels need a gentle, thorough
cleansing at once. When your child
is cross, peevish, istless, pale, doesn't
sleep, eat or act naturally; if breath
is bad, stomach sour, system full of
cold, throat sore Or if feverish, give
a teaspoonful of California Syrup of
Figs" and in few hours all the
clogged-up, constipated waste, sour
bile and undigested food will gently
move out of the bowels, and you
have a well, playful child again.
Sick children needn't be coaxed to
take this harmless fruit laxative"
Millions of mothers keep-it handy
because they know it's action on the
stomach, liver and bowels is prompt
and sure. They also know a little
given today saves sick child to-
morrow.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of
california Syrup of Figs" which
contains directions for babies, chill
dren of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly on the bottle. Beware OF
counterfeits sold here. Get the gen.

Washington, Feb. 12.-JapaD's atti-
tude toward China in the peace con-
ference is causing grave apprehension
among the representatives OF The other
associated powers.
According to official diplomatic in
formation, Japan virtually has threat
ened war if China makes puzzle Sc
cret treaties between the two coun-
tries and fails to carry out an agree
ment to make Japan the successor OF
Germany in rights, property and con-
ceSsiOns held by Germany at the out
break of the European war.
China is relying on the peace con-
ference, where her delegates are said
to have made an excellent impression,
and is seeking support from the United
States and Great Britain.
Advices from the orient through
diplomatic channels say Edward
Reinsch, American minister at Pekin,
seeking to reassure the Chinese for
eign minister with statements Of the
friendship of the United States gov
eminent was told frankly that the
foreign minister did not see how at
this time the United States or Great
Britain could divert their attention
to the orient when the European sit

Consequently they were unable to
carry out their purpose Of making
them public at the conference.
Officials of the state department de

on the situation. The impression way
given that the whole question was be-
ing handled in Paris
According to the reports, the threats
AGAINST China were conveyed to the
Chinese foreign minister by the Japan
csc minister in Pekin in thinly veil .
ed terms.
The Japanese minister Is said to
have pointed out that Japan had an
army of more than million men idle
at home, fully equipped and with arms
and munitions enough to conduct Il
long war, that Japan had more than
half a million ions of shipping with
the intimation that this would be
ready on short notice for active
work.
lie is also said to have referred
po'ntedly to large sums Of money
owed to Japan by China, and to the
fact that China had been unable to
live up to her financial agreements.
