SOON TO BE ANNOUNCED.

Wshington.-Japan's Intentions IN
the Chinese, province Of Shangtung,
where she is given control by the Yer
sailles treaty, soon are to be set forth
IN formal declaration from the Toxic

received in official circles here.

declaration was not forecast, it was
assumed it would follow the lines OF
the repeated statements of Japanese
statesmen that the province eventually
is to be returned to China. In some
quarters it was believed Japan might
even set date for the restoration and
acknowledge publicly the secret I'M
dsrstanding she is said to have with
China on that subject.
