attention more and more on the prob
lens yet to be disposed of in ths

ment of the Shantung issue now

dispensible to the readjustment pro.
gram undertaken there.

way, with another of the Japanese
and Chinese delegates the only item
on the conference program to-day, but
was expected henceforth to be the sub
ject of the active interest and study
of all the governments represented
here in the effort to bring it to final
solution. 1t was the general view among
the delegates that this would material
ly facilitate disposition of all, remain
ing issues when the Far Eastern dis
cussions were resumed.
Agreement having been reached by
the big Five" regarding the DISPOSE
tion Of prescribed warships there re-
manned to be settled to-day in COM

relatively unimportant details and the
status quo arrangement regarding
Pacific fortifications, the latter await

Dected to be ready for an executive
