Island of Tap, Immigra- ton and Alien Land
 Questions Tackled.

Washington, June l6.@Direct negotiations have beer begun between the United States and Japan for the settlement of all questions now pending between the two nations, it was an- nounced at the State Department today.
 One of the main questions in dispute is that concerning the island of Yap, which President Wilson, at the Versailles peace convention, sought to have in- ternationalized. Japan's claim to the island is based on the con- dition that, upon entering the world war, in case of victory, she should have all the German islands in the Pacific north of the Equator. this having been agreed to by France, Great Brit am and the other allied powers then at war with Germany, but to which the United States never consented.
 Other matters to be deter mined include those of Japanese immigration, the alien land ques- tion, and that of the return of the province of Shantung to China.
