CHINESE DEMAND
SURE RETURN OF
LAND GIVEN JAP.
Want Assurance by Powers
Embodied in Clause
of Treaty
By Associated Press.

Paris, May 10. 1t seems un-
likely that the Chinese will sign the
Treaty of Peace unless China is given
written assurance by the Council of
Three that Japan will return Kiao
Chau to China. The Chinese delegates
say the clause in the treaty contains
no such provision, their only basis for
believing that such restitution will
be made in verbal agreement Without
definite written promise from the
Council of Three they believe it impos-
sible to gain permission from the Chi
nese cabinet for the signature to the
treaty.
without such written promise, the
Chinese delegates hold their position to
pe worse than under the Japanese trea-
ties, which specifically pledge the re-
turn or kiao Chau- The Chinese con-
tention is being watched with much in
terest because it raises question as to
'he actual status of many verbal gree
hents IN the conferences of the Conn
cii or lhree, which are not known to he
oeinltely in the written proceedings.
Al meeting held yesterday after
noon under the auspices of ssrhe chi
nese Society of International Peace,
ana attended by the Chinese ambassa
dor and members of the Chinese dele
gaion to the Peace Conference. a mo-
tion was adopted for the sending of a

at Philadelphia, he was one of six
teen men selected from the Middle

lay the tracks for the centennial
chief and prize bee farmer in this
locality, and it will be to this in
dustry that he will now confine his
leisure moments.-Mr. and Mrs. Da-

week, celebrated that which is not
accorded to many marital couples to

two greatgrandchildren and not one
to date. Mrs. Caldwell was a native

entrance to the town, where there
is a hill, when one of the big cars
jumped the track and only that it
went up against a trolley pole, pre-
vented it from turning turtle over a
twenty -five-foot embankment. No
one was injured, but it required al

car from the position that it as
sumed on account of the accident.
