CHINA DECL ARES ALLIES
UNJUST IN GIVING HUN
RIGHTS" TO JAPANESE
SAYS AGREEMENTS WERE MADE
IN SECRET AFTER SHE
ENTERED WAR.

Paris. Friday, May 2.--ln declaring
its disappointment with the decision of
the council of three regarding Klao
Chau, the Chinese delegation TO the
peace conference in its statement today,
said that the decision gives Japan prac-
tical control of northern China.
The statement of the delegation dis.
closes ttat, early in 1871 Great Britain
ana France agreed to support the Jap
anese claim to rights in Shantung at
the peace conference 1t says that
China knew nothing of the agreements
and was not told of them even when
she joined in the war in August 1917.
IL is declared that China's declaration
of war abrogated all treaties and agree
meuts with Germany and that German
rights automatically reverted to China
The Chinese delegation asserts that
the reported action OF the council Of
hrc in transferring the German rights
to Japan is not in keeping with the
principles of peace laid down by thc
allied and associated powers Tue
statement declares that it is intmated
that the decision of the council of three
graning Japan's claims was for the
purpose of saving the League of Ma
tions 1t is further declared that ia
pans claims were based in part on the
treaty and notes made in 1915 with
China. The Chinese delegation says
that the documents of 1915 were signed
by China under "a threat of war. The
statement ais draws a parallel between
tn Shantung and Fiume questions. The
statement adds
Originated in Aggression.
"These German rights in Shantung
originated in an act of wanton aggres-
sion in 1897 characteristic of Prussian
miitarsm To transfer these rights to
| Japan, as the council of three pro
poses to do is, therefore, to confirm
an act Of aggression which has been
resented by the Chinese people ever
! since its preparation.
such virtual substitution of Japan
for Germany in Shantung is serious
enough in itself but it becomes grave
when the position of Japan in south
ern Manchurai and eastern Mongolia,
is read in connection with il. Firmly
entrenched on both sideS of the Gull
of Pe.Chi-Li. the water outlet of Peking
with a hold on the three trunk lines
from Peking and connecting it with the
rest of China, the cap becomes but an
enclave in the midst of Japanese in
nuence,
Moreover. owing to Chna's declara-
ton of war against the central pow
ers. August IA, 1917 and the abrigation
of all treaties between China and Ger
many and these powers, the German
rights automatically reverted to China
This declaration was officially noti
fed to and taken cognizance OF by the
allied and associated governments. II
is. therefore, significant that the coun
ell in announcing the settlement OF tht
Kiao Chau-Shantung question referred
TO the rights to be transferred to Japan
AS the rights formerly belong to Ger
many
at appears clear then, that the coun
ell has been bestowing on Japan tlle
rights. not of Germany but OF emma
not of an enemy, but of an ally Iht
more powerful ally has reaped a peneh'
at the expense, not of the coili'hoh
enemy, but of the weaker ally

Washington May 3.-Meteologists of
the weather bureau, cooperating in
preparations for the transatlantic
flight, regard it is possible that the
three naval Saplanes will MAINTAIN
anattude from 900 to 1000 feet. They
believe the planes VII not have to fly
as high as would a trans-continenta
aviator in orde rto derive the greatest
possible assistance from the winds.
Wind is the one element Of para
mount Importance to a successful
flight, according to Prof. Charles +.
Marvin, chief of the weather bureau.
An announcement today said:
The weather bureau is using its
daily reports from all its stations in
the continental United States to give
indications of the most favorable day
for the long flight to begin; it has ar
ranged to receive wireles sand cable
reports from observing stations on the
west coast of Europe, from Spitzbergen
and Iceland in the North to the Azores
in the South and other reports are
to come by wireless from naval vessels
posted on the Atlantic. All these re-
ports are to be summarized in Washa-
ington by the official forecaster, Maj
Il. H. Bowie. who was forecaster for
the American expeditionary forces dur
ing the war. His forecasts will be
transmitted TO Willis r. Gregg, a
bureau meteorologist who has gone
to New Foundland.
AS far as storms go. the naval avia'
tors have little fear. When North
America and the Atlantic are clear OF
great atmospheric disturbances, it is
almost sure that an airplane could
travel over the whole breadth of the
ocean from west TO east. without en-
countering a Storm" said the bureau
statement.
Since compasses have been found 10
lose much of their precision on air
planes, the experts of the weather bu
reau believe they will be almost use
less on transatlantic flights.
Under clear skies said the bu
reau's statement, "sextant observations
make possible the correction determine
ton of positions. but in cloudy weather
the compass is the only guide unless
the aviator can fly high enough to get
above the clouds. 1t is believed neces
sary that transatlantic airplanes in
the present stage of development
should be in constant touch with ships
that could indicate positions by wire
