Il should be not at all surprised"

within a few months, or even a few
weeks, negotiations with the Chinese
government with a view OF settling the
Shantung question In a way satisfac-
tory to all concerned"
In a statement on the Shantung
question, Mr.. Matsuoka said:
ITO those of us who have partici-
pated In the peace conference there is
not the shadow OF a doubt that Japan
will withdraw from Shantung at the
earliest possible moment. The peace
treaty requires Germany to hand over
70 Japan all the documents relative to
Shantung within three months after
the treaty ome into force. When
his is done, Japan will Immediately
take steps toward the restitution
which japan has pledged herself to
make in favor of China.
Terms Now Known.
"The terms on which Japan will
'estitute Shantung are now fairly well
known to the world. Briefly stated,
he main points of these terms are:
"First-Japan Is to restore Kiao Chau
he German leased territory to China.
"Second-In returning Kiao Chau to
China, Japan in the interest of all
nations asks only one thing, namely,
hat the territory be open to interna.

The Chino-Japanese agreement of May
IS, 1915, a Japanese settlement was to
lave been established in addition to an
International one, but Viscount Uchi
la, our foreign minister declared on
August 6 last that Japan would waive
he right to establish a Japanese set
cement.
"Third-Japan will withdraw all her
troops not only from the railway zone
,ut from Tsingtao. After the restitu'
lion of Kiao Chau not a single Jap
lnese soldier will be left on the sol
II Shantung.
"Fourth-The Shantung railway OF
s70 miles will be operated not by
Japan, but by a Chino-Japanese joint
corporation, in which both japanese
and Chinese capital will be represent
ID. or course China will participts
N the management Of this railroad.
"Fffth-Japan will withdraw hel

Carranza Aide Warns Mexico
. That U. S. viii Soon
Change Policy.
ARRAIGNS CONDITIONS
Says Constitution Must Be Changed
and Rival Factions Must Drop
Personal Politics for Good
of Country.

Washington, Sept. g. Warning
Mexicans that Intervention by the
United States is imminent, General
Salvador Alvarado, n of the leaders
in the Carranza movement throughout
it's course, has addressed an open let
ter to CarranZa, himself, and Generals
Obregon and Gonzales In which he ar
raigns conditions in Mexico in scath-
ing fashion.
Alvarado estimates that the death
list in fighting between federals and
rebels is 100 a day. In Mexico City
alone, he says, 5000 children die each
year for want of proper food, clothing
and shelter.
Wants Constitution Changed.
He declares the new Mexican con.
stitution must be changed. He ex-
c~oriates the administration of justice,
asserting that justice is sold to the
highest bidder.
Alvarado urges Carranza, Obregon
and Gonzales to drop personal politics
and unite with the revolutionary ele.
ment in one great party to solve ma
tional problems, which he enumerates
as follows:
"Paciication Of the country, organ
ization of the army; settlement of in
ternal and foreign debts, settlement
of claims for damages caused by the
revolution, the petroleum problem, or
ganization Of the national railways
and settlement of the banking ques-
ton" He calls upon Carranza, as the
first chief of the revolution, to lead
the movement and upon Obregon and
Gonzales to resign their candidates.
for the presidency and support it.
He predicts President Wilson will
change his policy of "watchful wait
ing" if every protest from the United
States is answered by news of a new
assault, a new assassination or a new
blowing up of a train.

DENIED TREATY DRAFT
Wilson Declines to Give Senate
Copy of Austrian Pact.

tive Powers.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The request
Of the senate foreign relations COM
mittee for latest drafts of the pro-
posed treaties with Germany's allies
have been refused by President viii
son on the ground that compliance
would set a precedent encouraging SEN
atorial encroachment on the presiden-
tial power of treaty negotiation.
In q seriese of letters made public
Mr.. Wilson wrote that 1t was "out OF
the question to accede to the COM
mittee's suggestion. Chairman Lodge
replied that although the treaties
we're closely connected with the treaty
with Germany, the President un-
doubtedly had authority to keep in
formation about them from the SEN
ate II he chose.
BrIngs Another Impasse.
The correspondence apparently
brought another impasse between the
President and the committee on the
much debated subject OF what infor-
nation the senator's should have in
their consideration Of the treaty with
Germany. MT. Lodge and others have
declared the committee could not act
intelligently until all Of the Versailles
treatiese were before II, but at the
White House conference Mr.. Wilson
told the committee that the form to be
taken by the four treaties under ne.
gotiation depended largely pm the sen.
ate's action regarding the instrument
now before 1t.
Rhine Agreement Denied.
A copy of the agreement of June
is. relative to the Rhine district, also
was denied the committee. the Presi'
dent writing that 1t would only be
come pertinent after the treaty was
ratified. and that the publication now
might be embarrassing to other gov
ernments.

From the Review.
Let us by all means consume more

ture, when we are hot and tired. but
let US avoid the exclusive or excess
sive assimilation of light reading as
we refrain from the consumption OF
ices by the gallon or salads by the

the lover of reading does not lie in
the suspension of mental activity. but
in the invitation he finds in it to the
play of individuality along lines
where that play has been restricted by
the stringencies of routine work or, in
these days of storm and stress, by
the pressure of the worlds news.
