CHINA READY FOR
TWO BRANCHES OF
SHANTUNG MATTER
JAPAN'S
~
JAPAN'S DEMANDS
Il
VIII Consider Demand That
Ising-Tao be an Open Port
and Japan's Demand That
Vested Interests be Respect
ed, China Already Willing
to Have Port Open to World.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The Chinese
negotiations in the Shantung ques-
tion inaugurated today will according
to Chinese spokesman proceed on
the basis that there are only two
to negotiate and that is Japan's de-
mand that TsingTao be declared an
open port and Japan's demand that
vested interests be respected The
latter would he only partially sus-
ceptible TO negotiations.
China it was said cannot negotiate
control of the Using Tao Tsi Nan Flu
railroad and has not receded from
her position taken at Versailles that
Shantung be conditionally returned
by Japan.
The Chinese delegation is under
stood to have sifted the Japanese con-
ditions outlined in the recent ex-
change of notes between Toxic and
Pekins to find basis for the nego-
tiations which would give China
what the Chinese people consider un-
divided control of the railroad which
Japan took over from Germany as a
result of the world war.
! The question of opening Using Tao.
for the commerce of all nations on
equal terms it was asserted in Chi
nese circles has already been agreed
upon.

London, Dec. 1.-The possibility
of renewed bloodshed in Ireland
stares the British Isles in the face in
consequence of a virtual collapse of
peace negotiations which have pro-
ceeded under truce for the last five

The Sim Fein has stood firm on
it's demand for an allIreland parIa-

the same time refusing to concede
allegiance to the British crown. VI
ster has refused point blank to sac
rifice her own parliament oenter an

she will come directly under the con-
