Japan Claimed Shantung
Under a Secret Treaty
Lansing Declared Toxic Won
Its Point at Versailles by
ssBIoc X m all and Bluff"

The Shantung issue was raised by
the Treaty of Versailles under which
the province of that name, which for
merly was German colony, was handed
to Japan. The territory involved is
only l23e square miles. The Japanese
claim to the province was based on u
secret treaty between Japan and China,
signed in 1915, by which China rec
ognized Japan's succession to German
rights in China. Japanese troops n
few months previously had wrested the
peninsula from the Germans.
According to Robert Lansing, former
Secretary of State, the Japanese dele
gates at the peace conference obtained
the inclusion of the Shantung clause in
the treaty by blackmail and bluff.
The Japanese delegates threatened to
bolt the conference unless the province
was given them, and to this threat
President Wilson was said finally to
have yielded. Mr.. Lansing in his book
The Peace Negotiations said that he
and the other members of the American
delegation regarded the clause as q
fragrant wrong and that they were
prevented from resigning only because
of the critical world situation.
In January, 1920, Japan offered to
open negotiations with China for the
return of the province to Chinese SOW
ereignty. This and several other in
vitatlons were rejected by China, on
the ground that it was not matter
to be negotiated between the two coun-
tries, but a wrong to be righted by
those who committed it.
President Harding in a prediction
speech In Marion last September re-
ferred to the handing of Shantung to
Japan as wrong to China.

GREENWICH, Conn, April IT,
Three youths in a stolen automob
ran the gantlet of the police of this
city and Stamford this morning, run

city and knocking out Captain James
J. Medley, veteran commander of the
borough police of this city. A trio,
alleged to be the thieves, was arrested
later in the day not far from where
the automobile, stolen in Springfield,
Mass, had been abandoned.
The police were informed about 8
o'clock that the three, who had

field senseless and gone off with a
powerful car, might be expected at any
moment. Patrolman Frank Bates, of
the Stamford police, was on the look
out for them at a bridge on the Boston
Post Road just west Of Stamford.
AS car approached which he recog-
nized as similar to the one stolen in
Springfield he signaled to it's three
occupants to stop. Instead of stopping
the driver put on speed and drove the
car straight at the patrolman. Twice
Bates lodged, but at the third twist of
the wheel the motor car struck him a
glancing blow, telling him.
Captain Pursues Them
Hearing of the attack on Bates, Cap
tain Medley, who is sixty-five years old
and was the only policeman at Head
quarters at the moment, got aboard a
jitney bus that was passing and set out
to meet the trio. Their car was sighted
at Putnam Avenue, and it's driver heed
ed signal given by Benjamin Dewey,
driver of the jitney.
AS the stolen car came to halt Cap
tain Medley leveled his revolver at its
occupants and told them they were
under arrest. He mounted the run
ming board, clung to the seat of the car
with his left hand and, with the other
kept the three young men covered.
"Now drive to Headquarters. he
commanded.
They set out, the driver proceeding
slowly and i'm strict accordance with
Captain Nedley's instructions. His
1companions opened an apparently care
free conversation with their capto1
and apparently took their arrest in
such utter good humor, that the cap.
tain rather shamefacedly pocketed his
revolver just before they reached head
quarters.
Knock Him to Street
The instant he did so the two men
in the tonneau drew theirs and used
the butts on his head and hands, fore
ing him to relax his grip and fall to
the street. Then the driver put on
speed and disappeared.
The entire community was on the
alert by this time, however, and their
car soon was reported to be abandoned
near the R. V. Pell estate near East
Port Chester. Police Chief Andrew
Talbot followed the tracks made in the
mud by three men who had taken to
the road just where the car had been
drawn up and presently overlook them
He had them covered before they
could attempt to draw weapon and
they were locked up. They said they
were Franklin Lendsley, Chester Baker
and Benjamin Gibbs. The injuries re.
ceived by the two policemen proved to
be slight. Reports from Springfield
are to the effect that the garage watch

Berlin's Red Tape
Reduces Passenger
List Aboard, Liner
Mongolia Arrives Here With
Only 81 i'm Cabin and 2l
in Steerage; Lacks Permit
to Transport Any Germans

The American liner Mongolia, which
operates between New York, Hamburg.
Antwerp and Vigo, Spain, arrived here
yesterday with an unusually small pas
senger complement, due largely to
the red tape Of the present German
government in granting the company
a permit to transport Germans to this
country.
The Mongolia and the Manchuria.
which are engaged exclusively in the
trade with Germany, have been bring
ing large lists of steerage passengers
to this port, chiefly from Vigo and
Antwerp.
When the Mongolia came in yester-
day it was found that she had only
slxty-one cabin and twenty-one steer
age passengers, eight of the latter
class being American citizens.
According to officials of the line, the
smallness OF the passenger list was
due to the red tape of the German
government, which has promised, but
not granted, permit for the vessels to
carry German subjects to this country.
1t is the belief of the officials, how
ever, that the Manchuria, which is now
bound eastward to Hamburg, will bring
back full passenger list, as the nego-
tlatlons with the German government
viii have been completed by the time
she is ready to return to New York.
By the aid of the old permits of the
Hamburg American Line the United
American Lines are free to carry a
full list of travellers out of Hamburg.
and through the old permits of the
North German Lloyd Line the same
privilege is granted to the United
States Mail Steamship Company.
Among the saloon passengers on the
Mongolia was Commander w r. Fur
long, U. S. n, who recently has com
pleted trip through Germany He
said that, in his opinion, the people are
through with monarchial form of
government and will have no one in
power who represents the Hohenzol-
lerns.
He said that Germany was working
faithfully in the interest of recon
struction, and that this was apparent
in the activities of the Krupp works.
This great plant, he said, had employed
in prewar times $4,000 workmen for
the construction of arms. Before he
left Germany, he said, the plant was
employing $4,000 men, but their work,
he said, was devoted to repairing the
rolling stock of the German railroads.
He said there were few Commun-
lists employed at the Krupp plant when
he was there, but that the workmen
themselves requested that these dis
turbers be removed

VIENNA, April IT (By The Asso-

party leaders in Tyrol yesterday noti-
fication was sent to Vienna that the
Tyrolese authorities, despite the En-
tente's new ultimatum against fusion
with Germany, would proceed with the

consider the matter because their de-

Innsbruck dispatches say the populace

direct challenge.
Notwithstanding the formal disap-

u. S. Minister Rules
Zayas Was Elected
Cuban President
Announces Decision After
Investigation and Asks
All Congressman to Take
Seats and Accept Result

HAVANA, April 17-(by the Asso-
ciated Press DR. Alfredo Zayas, Con-
servative-P Popular Coalition party can
didate, was elected President of Cuba
IN the November election and, in the
Judgment of the United States govern
ment, nothing should be done to pre-
vent Congress from proclaiming him
President. This decision is embodied
in statement made public to-day by
Boaz Long, the American Minister to
Cuba.
1t is expected the announcement of
the position of the United States will
have decisive effect in solving the
deadlock brought about by the refusal
OF the Liberal members to attend Con-
gress and permit of the formation of
the three quarters quorum needed to
proclaim DR.. Zayas President. The
term of President Menocal expires May
20.
Decries Fear of Violence
The note says the United States
government, "after the most pains
taking investigation" reached the con-
clusion that there was no reason why
the Liberal party should have been ap-
prehensive of violence in the partial
elections and that the government of
the United States is confident that, if
1hS A.oeidl party nad gone TO the
polls in these partial elections, the
elections would have proceeded with
out organized disturbances and free
from disorder, except that which might
have resulted from the acts Of ire
sponsible individuals in both parties"
THE government of the United
States" the note says in conclusion,
considers that the safeguards and re-
sources provided by the electoral code
OF Cuba have been placed at the dis
position of the Cuban people without
partiality or distinction. The result
OF the elections signifies that the
Presidential candidate of the Liga
Coalition party has been elected Presi-
dent. In the judgment of the govern
nient of the United States, the Cuban
people should accept this decision as
hnal and no attempt should be made
by the members OF the minority in the
Cuban Congress to impede the orderly
procedure provided by the constitu-
ton and laws by preventing the Con-
eress from proclaiming the successful
candidate President Of Cuba
Gomez Abandons Claims
KEY WEST, Fla, April 17.-General
Jose Miguel Gomez, defeated candidate
for the Presidency of Cuba, announced
here tonight that he would abandon
his claims to that office and retire to
private life. He would recommend to
ms party. he said, "the acceptance of
defeat rather than endanger the safety
of the republic of Cuba by another
American intervention" He added tnat
his party's case had been so prejudiced
by emissares of the Conservative party
in their representations to the Ameri-
can government that justice could not
be obtained at this time.
General Gomez said his faith in the
American people was unshaken. and
that he was retiring without bitterness.

date Award of Council
May Treat Yap Separately
National Disgrace Seen if
Toxic Is Forced to Agree
to Demands of America

TOXIC, April II (By The Asso-
ciated Press).-A sharp division of
opinion in governmental circles as to
what attitude should be adopted with
regard to tho American note on man
dates is reported by close observers
of the situation. an influential group,
1t is said, insisting that Japan should
maintain her stand on the award
made to her by the Supreme Council
at Paris.
The Jill Shimpo in an editorial ar
ticIe expresses the opinion that
Japan will reply negatively to the
note, laying stress on the contention
that the Supreme Councils decision in
awarding the mandate for the former
German islands in the North Pacific
to Japan was an agreement collateral
to the peace treaty and therefore valid
IN the same sense as the decision re-
garding the distribution of the Ger
man warships. Moreover, it notes
that the United States failed to file a
protest when the mandate decision
was published in May, 1919.
The kokumin Shimbun expresses be-
lief that Japan will seek to satisfy
America by settling the controversy
over the island of Yap separately.
The standpoint of those who believe
Japan should stand upon the Councils
decision is voiced by Professor
Uesugi, of the Imperial University. in
an article in which he declares that
should Japan be forced to comply with
the American demand it would be the
greatest national disgrace since the
return of the Liao-tung Peninsula to
China under the pressure of the Euro
pean powers after the Chino-Japanese
war.
Information from official quarters
on the subject is that Japan still is
in consultation with the Allies.
The Teikoku News Agency quotes
an unnamed Cabinet Minister as de-
claring Japan must follow the decision
of the League of Nations; that she has
no right to act by herself against its
tions involved should be settled be-
tween America and the league. This
minister, the news agency declares.
expressed the opinion that Japan
should reply to the United States
along the lines he indicated.
The agency also quotes Professor
Hayashi, councillor of the Foreign
Office, as saying that America should
approach the League of Nations, as
Japan has no right to interfere with
its decisions.
Nothing certain was known as to the
views of Great Britain, France and
Italy, the councillor is quoted as add
ing, but he hoped that, whatever their
views were, Japan would remain firm.
Until the Yap question was settled
Japan, he declared, according to the
agency, must maintain her present
military administration of the Pacific
islands

There was boom in marriages in

For the three years preceding the

PARIS, April 1.-THE delicate stu
alton brought about by the presence
of large bodies Of Russian troops
around Constantinople and the dan
ger of a united Graco- Russian drive
to capture that city has caused such
alarm in Allied circles that France
has now repudiated her former ally,
General Baron Wrangel, who was
anti-Bolshevik leader in South Rus
sia. France is insisting that his SOL
diers must return to Russia.
Brazil has offered to relieve the sit
uation by taking 10000 of these
refugees as cultivators of the land,
but the conditions attached to the
Brazilian governments offer Of hos
pitality are such as to make it un-
satisfactory. Moreover. most of these
refugees never were farmers and
hence would not take readily to arri
cultural work.
Supplies May Be Cut OF
The French government in an Of
fetal note issued to-day says that no
pressure will be brought to bear on
these Russians of Wrangel's follow
ing, but they must either accept the
cffer of amnesty made by the Moscow
Soviet government and go back to
their own country or forego any fur
ther aid in the way of provisions and
shelter where they are.
France announces that her recog-
milton of General Wrangel was only de
facto and that this is now withdrawn
She complains against the charge that
the French are delivering Wrangel's
Cossacks to the Bolsheviki and fore
their will. General Wrangel, the
French note says, has constituted
himself into kind of government and
has assumed a supreme right to keep
under arms the troops that he brought
from the Crimea.
Aid Costly to France
France already has paid out more
than 200,00000O francs for the keep
of these $4,000 refugees and is receiv-
ing back hardly a'quarter of this sum
in the acquisition of the Black Sea
feet that was owned by the former
Russian government. The French
note continues:
"The existence Of such an army on
Ottoman territory is against interna-
tional law and is dangerous to peace
1t would be an illusion to think that
Bolshevism could be effectively COM
bated by armed forces having their
base outside of Russia"
France says that in view of General
Wrangel's present attitude it becomes
necessary to strip him of his present
influence.
Cali the Russians still sheltered in
his camp must know" the note says,
that General Wrangels army no
longer exists, that their former
chiefs no longer have any orders to
give, that their decisions are entirely
free, and that their provisioning in
camps cannot be carried on any
longer"
