JAPAN THREATENS TO WAR ON CHINA [Continued from First Pago.] controversy by the French newspa pers. To meet doubts case upon its au thority, the Chinese delegation has published" cablegrams received .from Shanghai, the provisional legislature of Shantung and the Chinese so ciety for a league of nations at Pe- I king. These cablegrams overwhelm- ' ingly favor the activities of the dele- ; gation and direct that there be re striction to China or properties in { Shantung. Washington, Feb. 11.—Japan s at- ! titude toward China in the peace ; conference is causing grave appre- j hension among the representatives I of the other associated powers. Ac- ] cording to official diplomatic in- j formation reaching here, Japan vir tually has threatened war if China makes public secret treaties between the two countries and fails to carry out an agreement to make Japan the successor of Germany in rights, property and concessions held by Germany at the outbreak of the European war. China Holies on Paris China is relying on the peace con- : ference here her delegates are said to have made an excellent impres- ! sion, and is seeking support from the United States and Great Britain, i Europe Hernando Attention Advices from the Orient through diplomatic channels say American; Minister Reinsch, at Peking, seeking to reassure (h? Chinese foreign min ister with statements of the friend ship of the Uhite-i States Givern mrnt, was told frankly that the for eign minister di.l not see how at this time the United States or Great Britain could divert their attention to the Orient, wnm Ire Euronoar. sit- j nation demanded so much attention. ' Say Treaties \Y ere Stolen When the Chinese peace delegates arrived in Paris, the information now available discloses, >hey reported that the copies of the secret treaties were stolen from their baggage while they were passing through Japan, and consequently, they were'unable to carry out their purpose of making them public at the conference. Officials of the State Department declined to make any formal com ment to-day on the situation. The impression was given that the whole matter was being handled in Paris. According to the reports received i here, tin- threats against China were conveyed to the Chinese foreign minister by the Japanese minister in Peking in tliinly veiled terms. The Japanese minister is said to have pointed out that Japan had an army of more than a million men idle at home, fully equipped and with units and munitions enough to conduct a long war, an dto have pointed out that Japan had moie than a half million tons of shipping, with the intimation that this would 1M- ready on short notiee for active work. He also is said to have referred point edly to large sums of money owed to Japan by China, and to the fact that China had been unable to live up to lier financial agreements. Chinese Jtcveai Treaties Upon arriving in Paris without the copies of the treaties which they had been instructed to use in seeking to break Japans grip,. the Chinese delegates made verbal reports of the substance of these treaties lo some of the peace delegates of the other countries. This led the Japanese authorities to demand of China that she disavow this action on the part of her delegates and that she keep secret the treaties. Japan Brings Pressure Some of the secret treaties have not yet been ratified by the Chinese government. although Japan has ratified them and, according to to day's advices, the Japunese govern ment is bringing every pressure to bear on China to ralify them before anything can be done at Paris. The most important of the treaties us yet unratified by China is the agreement of September 24, 1918. which grants Shantung to Japan and admits Japan as the successor to Germany's rights, concessions and properties in the Shantung district.

Crespi in Chair The commission on ports, water ways and railways of the peace con ference met to-day with Dr. Silvio Crespi, of Italy, in the chair. Eng land, supported by America, pro posed the proclamation of the prin ciple of complete liberty of transit to every country on equal conditions to all. This proposition was op-| posed by Albert Claveille, for France j and Lambros C'oromilas for Greece, | who pointed out .that England and America occupied special situations, that made the question of commer- j cial land transit Jnsignificant fori them. Rut One Freight Charge Approved The commission appointed two sub-commissions, one to study the question of the control of ports, wa terways and railroads and the other the question of liberty or transit. The first commission has approved of the principle that no country may charge duties on goods passing through its ports or over its rail ways or waterways other than the freight rates paid on goods destined for the country itself. Neither may they levy on such goods customs or local taxes. Belgians Enter Protest Belgian delegates protested against allowing freight destined for Ger man ports to pass through their ter ritory exempt of duty, thus helping the prosperity of Germany. They claimed also that such measures should be taken as would make navi gation of the Scheldt river free for Belgium. The Czeclio-Slovaks and Poles in sisted on having ports of their own, the former on the Adriatic and the latter on the Baltic. M. Coromilas proposed to give them, respectively, at Trieste and Danzig the same privi leges that Greece granted to Serbia at Saloniki, where Serbia has part of the port and enjoys territorial rights. The Czecho-Slovaks and Poles consider this proposition an in sufficient guarantee, and definite de cision was postponed. Rhine to Be Free to All The commission agreed that navi gation of the Rhine and Danube should be free to ail countries bor dering on them, or through which those rivers pass. The Rhine passes or borders Switzerland, Germany, France and Holland, and the Danube holds the same relation to Germany, Austria, Bohemia, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria and Itumeniu. To Discuss Glvek Claims The speciul committee, consisting of two representatives each from Great Britain, the United States, France and Italy, which the coun cil of the great power's decided upon a week ago to examine into the claims of Greece in the peace con ference. will meet Thursday. Sir Robert Borden, the Canadian Premier, is one of the British dele gataes on this commission. Imme diately upon the conclusion of the • committee's work he will probably pay a short visit to Canada, return ing to Paris when President Wil son retyrns from the United States. Armistice Terms Delayed In view of the complexity and di versity of the problems raised by the armistice, says a Havas report, the Supreme War Council has ap pointed a committee of eight mem bers to which will be entrusted the task of studying these questions. The council, therefore, has post poned for a few days the adoption of conditions to be imposed upon Germany, so as to be better pre pared as to means for insuring their execution. The committee is composed of Norman Davis and General Bliss, for America; Ford Robert Cecil and Major N. G. Thwaites, for England; Dr. Silvio Crespi and General Ca veltero for Italy, and Etienne Clem entel and General Degoutte, for France. It held its first meeting last night at 6 o'clock, General Degoutte who had been summoned by telephone from Lille, could not arrive in time, however, and the eommitltee meeting will continue to-day. When a draft of the condi tions has been prepared it will be submited to the Supreme War Coun cil for definite aproval. Child Labor at IVace Tabic Two important features of the American and British labor pro gram were accepted to-day by the commission on International regu lation of labor which will be sub mitted to\he full peace conference. These are the prohibition of child labor under sixteen years of age and the uniformity of seamen's wages.

Salaries to lie I'ncluiHgcd Councilman Henderson presented a resolution that the salaries of all borough employes remain the same during the year 1919 as they were at the close of last year. The annual report of the water commissioners was presented by Chairman Roberts. The report shows that during the first three months of 1918 there were 300 wa ter meters broken through freezing, twenty breaks in water mains and ten breaks in service pipes. The re port showed improvements made at the pumping stations, filtration plant and reservoir. All the equipment was reported as being now in first class shape. The receipts from the water department for last year amounted to $32,500. A recommendation was made in the water report for the creation of a reserve fund for use in emergen cies, money saved by the borough because of the municipal water plant to be put in this fund. The report claimed that at least $6,000 was saved annually by the borough because of the free service of fire flugs and water for flushing sew ers. Fire Chief Malcliorn reported the loss of buildings because of fires through a year to amount to $13,- 402.25, and of contents? 2.678.50.

The borough auditors reported total receipts during the year 1918 of $203,734.33, with expenditures amounting to $190,867, leaving a treasury balance at the beginning of the present year amounting to $12,867.53.
