JAPAN
Gets OUT
OF CHINA
Shantung Province is
Restored by Japan
to Chinese Govern
ment

Tsingtao, Shantung. Dec. 10 (By
the Associated Press)-The terri
tory of Kiachow was restored to
China at noon today with a strik-
ing lack of ceremony. The Chi
nese flag for the first time in "a
years was raised over the admin
istration building, which had been
used by the Germans and later by
the. Japanese who seized the ter
ritory during the world war.
A small group of japanese and
Chinese officials exchanged formal
addresses and drank mutual toasts
before handing over the final doc
uments which completed the trans
fer. A Chinese gunboat in the bay
fired a salute at noon and then
the japanese police headquarters
were taken over by the Chinese.
General Yuhi, japanese govern
or general of Kiachow. and the re-
naming Japanese troops in the ter
ritory wilt depart December IA.
The staffs which have been on the
docks and wharves will remain ten
days longer, shcn be replaced by
Chinese.
A thousand Skantung troops ar
rived here before the territory was
taken over. Wang Chcng-Ting.
foreign minister. who received the
territory from the Japanese. said
he was confident there would be no
trouble from the bandits. He de-
e!ared that now the only possibility
of danger is from Japanese roughs.
Minister Wang, in an interview,
repeatedly expressed his inability to
understand why the arms promised
by the japanese for the police had
not arrived Japan, he said. has
postponed the delivery of the arms
three times. He had2,700 police
troops within the city and 10000
troops on the boundary.
He said he did not wish to ac-
cuse japanese authorities of double
dealing but he asserted relations
existed between the japanese sub
ordinates and the bandits. Wang
denied there was friction between
himself and the Shantung Tuchung.

main at his present post and de-
cline to accept the offer OF the

Previously General Wood had re-

tension Of time before assuming
the Office of provost in order to see
the completion Of the legislative
program he had sponsored in the
Philippines 1t was expected that
the Philippine legislature would
pass certain legislative changes
but it is understood that the leg
islature and other government de-
partments have. failed to pass GER
tain legislation as was expected.
Certain features Of the program
were put forward by General
Wood.
General Wood said he was con-
fdent the university appreciated
the great Importance of work to
be done in the Philippines, not
only to the Philippine. people but
to the United States, and that I
did not come here either for
pleasure or profit, but in conpIi-
ance with the repeatedly express
ed wishes of the president to do
a certain work and in response to
what I considered an imperative
Ecall Tor service, which past eN-
Fperience has perhaps particularly
fitted me to render"
General Wood added that he had
pushed forward the legislative pro-
gram which he asked for the Phil
ippines as rapidly as possible but
the situation was more complicat-
ed and. critical than he had pre-
.viously expected.

COAL STRIKE Seems
over AT LAST
rEy Assccaafed PRESS,

Cleveland, O., Aug. 16-For
the first time in twenty weeks,
striking soft coal miners at scat
tered points in seven states today
are under orders to begin pro-
duction of coal. This is the re-
suit of the part settlement of
the strike. However, it affected
only a small minority of the
100000 coal diggers but union
officials were on their way back
home to seek peace with other
employers. President Lewis pre-
dicted that the soft coal aperat-
ors generally would accept the
agreement and held out hope for
early quantity production. I'm
der the policy laid down by the
union, district officials may con-
clude peace with any soft coal
operator, either as individual or
association.
