The japanese. however. are not dis
playing q very compliant spirit lately.
They have vigorously denied the story
that the Shantung settlement was In
exchange for the japanese withdrawal
Of the racial equality clause from the
league covenant, and the intimation Is
plain that they win renew later their
demand for the inclusion Of such a
clause. Also there il open opposition
In Japan to participating In the inter-
national tribunal to try the former
kaiser, based on the assertion that
such action would have a bad effect
on the japanese people.
The British parliament has ratified
the peace treaty with Germany unan-
imously, and also has adopted the
Anglo-French alliance bill.
Austria has been handed the peace
treaty she must sign and Of course 10
protesting hopelessiy against the
terms imposed. The reparation terms
are similar to those in the German
treaty, and the financial terms pro
vide that the prewar debt shall be
apportioned among the various former
parts of the Austrian empire and the
coinage and war bonds taken up by
the new governments and redeemed
as they see ft. The Austrian army is
to be reduced ( 10000 men and she Ia
to give up all her merchant shipping
and fishing boats and 20 per cent OF
her river fleet. Large numbers Of cat
tie also must be surrendered, as well
as quantities of stuff stolen by the
Hapsburgs. In the revised territorial
terms is seer a possibility of future
trouble, for Austria is to receive the
Oderberg region of Hungary. The
Hungarians are not likely to submit
tamely to this and Bella Kun, II he Ia
still In power there, may nnd in 1t a
chance to keep his army from disinte-
grating BY appealing to the national
feeling.
Conflicting stories concerning Bella
Kun have been coming from Vienna.
One had 1t that the communist leader
had been deposed by a triumvirate and
that "terror troops were in control Of
Budapest. Another and later dispatch
showed he was still In the saddle.
The tangled mess known as the Rus
sian situation has no very promising
aspects of late. The British conman-
der in North Russia reports that the
Russian volunteer troops that have
been cooperating with him have mutt
MED and joined the b~olshevists; Gen.
eral Denikine has been suffering ne
verses at the hands Of T~rotzky's army
and Admiral Kolchak, head Of the
Omsk government, does not seem to
be getting anywhere. Lenine has Of
fered to cede Bessarabia to Roumania
If the latter country will prohibit Kol-
chak's supporters from crossing its
frontier. This may amount to nothing,
as Roumania already holds possession
of B~essarabia. In eastern Galicia,
where the Ukrainians and Poles are
fighting for the territory. the Poles
have captured the important city Of
Tarnopol. Delayed dispatches from
vladivostok tell Of a successful excur-
sion in the Suchan valley district by
an American military column which
cleared out bands Of bolshevih at a
cost Of two men killed and eleven
wounded. The bolsheviki In Siberia
have released all their American pris-
oners, 1--WE In number.
The peace conference Ii now attend
ing to Bulgaria. The delegates from
that country arrived in Paris from
Sofia Friday and were quartered at the
suburb Of Neuilly. The French troops
have been taking care of Bulgaria late
~ and when the other day some of
them were attacked by Bulgarians a
French regiment occupied Sofia and
disarmed the local garrison.
Sweden Is expected to make q loud
wall over the report Of the Baltic COM
mission of the peace conference. 1t
recommends that the Aland islands at
the mouth Of the Gulf Of Bothnia,
which Sweden has claimed. be neu-
tralized under the guaranty Of the
League Of Nations. The Swedes are
not In high favor with the allies and
any protest they may make IL not like
~ to be considered.
Our relations with Mexico seemed to
