Issue will J, settled, the Chinese accepting the Jipanctc proposal. The Chinese dele gallon is understood te hnve received lt Instructions from Pekln. It Is denied here tnnt inc .mpanefc jitrt negotiated directly nt Pekln nnd the denial is generally accepted. It Is net believed that the .lapancse weuiu ,le anything se likely te Injure their landing with the American public as e deal directly with the Pekln Govern ment en a subject which was before the Conference here. Reme ether method lins ueiiducm uecn uA of making the new authorities real- Ue (hat it would he Impractical te held out for further concessions than .Tnpan has offered in the negotiations here with the Chlncse delegation. Murh Bneculatlen Is going en acre as lenhnt will be the action of the Chlncse V. ..... Will tlmv nnncnnt In lw overruled from Pekln? Will they sign rrimcnt which leaves Japan In virtual control of the railroad in Shan tungV Expect Clilncse Delegates te Yield The bcit informed here feel that the delegation has no choice but te accept Its orders from Pekln. The new Gov ernment there Is evidently stronger nnd n,rp determined thau the one which has M jM. been overthrown. All three dele- H -M.f .ICaIdIh ...in nf l.mn rates are v.uinesc uiuc.mr,, nu ui iuvm dlplQmats and one a Cliicf Justice, if the new Cieternnicnt Is te fctnnd they will have te give ip their official careers te dlfebcy its enlcrs. Much popular sentiment exists in China, cspcclully among the students nd the western-educated Chinese, tgalnst accepting such a settlement as la new proposed. Hut unless this senti ment Is strong enough te cempaBs the overthrew of the present Government Ihe Chinese delegates will have no poli tical future should they align them selves with it. If the Chinese delegates accept the Shantung settlement it Is taken for granted that they vil also sign the nine-Power treaty and one ether anxiety of the conferees of the great I'ewcrs will be removed, for n rejection by Chliui would have a bad moral effect upon the results of the Far Eastern Conference while the disturbances that might fellow would have practical con cen icquences which every Power Interested economically in China desires te avoid. The new Government in China seem te be a kind of "god from the machine" come te the relief of these who were struggling with the apparently insolu ble difficulties of that country. Where the old Government was se weak that the delegation had a quast-lndcpendcncc of It, the Government is evidently firm dm! determined. The delegation here listened as much te the young Chinese at home and te the uninese societies in this country ns they did te Pekln. New apparently they have te make their choice, and it is expected that they will Jie responsive te Pckin. Old rcliln Policy Falls I'elle Is apparently realistic. It sees that the Cnlted Stntcs nnd Japan In the four-Power pact nnd in the naval atrecraent here composed their historic differences, and that old diplomatic game I let pla5ing the United States against Japan in the tar l.ast Is ever, in this i Conference that old policy of China's has for the firbt time net worked. I The Chinese who make up the new Tekln Government have observed that It has net worked or have had their at tention called directly te the fact, nnd have changed their tnctlrs. with what 111 probably be large diplomatic' con fluences lu the future, unless the radi cal movement micceeds once mere in bringing about a change. ' The new Government, by making a . compromise en Shantung and by ac cepting the results of the Par Eastern ' Conference, will piebably bid for the mppert of the four great Powers. And with that support It may feel strong enough te establish order In China. The Shantung settlement will he n Fompremise, like all the ether settle- ' meats which are coming out pf this Conference. It will cause much debate1 In this country, especially In the Sen ate. These feeling entitled te expect Ideal results from international diplomacy will attack It. Hut if Clflna geti en ' her feet and grows strong the nr- ! rangements for Japancse financing of the railroad in Shantung will net be . important. And If she docs net, no amount of bclf-dcnylng resolutions b the great Powers will hel" much. Powers were willing te withdraw troops from Chinese tell Should their nrpnpnrn net be needed for the maintenance of uruer nna tne protection of lives nnd property. The commission of the eight Powers' Ministers at Pckin will meet upon the request of the Chlncse Gov ernment when China decides te press Its demands for the withdrawal of for eign forces. The question of the "twenty-one de mands was net tnken up at the meet ing, Chinese delegates said. The entire scsslqn Was devoted te the question of the tariff and foreign troops. Naval Cemmitter Metis A meeting of the five Powers' Naval Committee was called for this after neon. It was considered possible that both the submarlne regulation propos als nnd the draft of the naval treaty would be presented for nppieval te this meeting. Approval by all the Powers having membership In the committee of the proposed rules regulating submarines was forecast prier te the mrctlng, fol lowing the announcement thnt the Ital ian delegation had decided today te give Its approval. Japan had ptcvietisly agreed in principle. The committee of naval experts at their first meeting today worked prin cipally en the definitions of naval tech nical terms te be written into the gen eral naval treaty. Anether meeting this afternoon was called te conclude this phase of the experts' Inborn. The Italian acceptance of the Iloet resolutions en submarines was said te be conditioned en French accession, and the attitude of the French has net been fully defined in spite or their an nouncement that they would accept the Heet program In principle. , The question of whether the limita tions Imposed by the five-Power naval Meaty should be Imposed en n signa tory If that nation Is attacked by n formidable non-slgnntery Power took a prominent place today in Informal discussions of the treaty. Some pleni potentiaries arc suggesting the IneltM sien of a clause which would autematl- ally rclhise the signatory in such case's from the limitations of the trcnty. Anether important suggestion was that in case of aggression by an outside Power, the five signatories would ceme together te consider the best means of securing a settlement. Such n "con sultation" prevision would be slmllnr te Article II of the four-Power Pa cific treaty. afiO.000 IJUT TO CATS Every wetimn who owns a. cat will wiint te rfBrt "Th Day of the Cat."
