The agitation in this lountry hns opernted to the ndiuntagr, of Cliinii in her tindltional diplomncj. neliind the Shnntung nmendiiieut to tlie lieatj adopted by the Senate foieign iclations committee wns a vast Chinese propaganda, the most active ever ui ducted in this country. The Shnntung gnme is n diplomatic contest between Chiun nnd .Inpan. China, very skillfull), through the Ite tmhliean majority in the Senate, is making this country piny her diplomatic game for her. On the one hand Japan wants ceitain things from Chinn. She is strengthened In her position by the once-seciet treaties with Kngland nnd France, nnd by the fnct thnt the (Jerman treaty is sure to be ratified as it stands by three allied powers nnd thus become vnlid. She is sine of Shantung and of the right to return Shantung in her own time. On the other hand. China has si if- ' fened in her opposition to Japan's de- I innrnN. whatever they may be, by the! fnct flint this country disnpprovcs the Shnntung (settlement and by the fait that Mr. Wilson's political necessities reouiie that Japan should nnmc nn en rly date for her retirement fioni Shantung: The negotiations have dragged, de spite the exigency which requires speed at this end. Thnt fact nlone proves their difficulty. If we get Japan's promise of withdrawal at an early date it will probably be at a price to be dis closed later. It eonld probably have been bought cheaper at Paris. GRL FOUND WITH THIEVES Kidnapped Year Ago and Arrested With Five Mexican! Akron. O., Sept. 10. (Ity A.
