SPEAKS FOR CHINESE Nebraska Senator Says the League Pact Robs China of Her Birthright. INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE1 WASHINGTON, July 15. England. France. Italy and Russia, before the entry of the United States into the war. j rmerea into a secret pact wun Japan that "they should divide the spoils of victory amongst- themselves and rob China of her birthright by turning her over to the tender mercies of Japan." Senator Xorris, Republican, of Nebraska, charged in the senate this afternoon. Xorris read Jnto the Congressional ! P.prord in simnftrt nf V.is rharcA r.rrespondence which he asserted had passed between the British and Japanese and others of the entente powers before and after the United States went into the war. X.XAOTJS ONLY FAST OF TEZATT. "During all of my public life I have been a tirm believer in some kind of an international agreement between the leading civilized nations of the world that would make war between civilized nations as nearly impossible as human ingenuity could devise." Senator Xorris! said. "The league of nations is only a part cf tho treaty. It contains Itself many objectionable features, but even If we were willing to accept It in its present form we would not do so without accepting the entire treaty. QTJTESTZON OP AJtTKA.MT.NT. "Standing out prominently among the i things that have caused war in the past is the question of armament. There is no provision in the treaty anywhere that will bring about disarmament. "The compact for a league of nations should require that all business should be done In public. The compact for th-:: i league of nations should also contain a j provision for the arbitration of internai tional disputes. The constitution for a i league of nations ought not to include anything that is not absolutely necessary to carry out the object of the compact." Senator Xorris declared that he could not sympathize with'arguments that the league of nations would weaken our sov ereignty or would override the Monroe doctrjll; an(j that he would rerhaps be willing to accept the league with Its faults as he fould them if It were not that acceptance of the league end the treaty would mean acceptance of the Shantung clause. Senator Xorris charged that "it is clearly disclosed that while those leading governments of the world were inducing China to get into the war in order that they might secure her assistance and particularly that they might get possession of the German ships Interned In China's harbors, they were secretly plotting among themselves for her destruction after she had complied with their ishes and the war was over. "After the entente powers had gotten out of China all that was possible 1t . .. . . . . 1 i j ; . . was agreed mat tngiana fmrniu wii'i I japan jn her claim against China, and to comrensate England. Japan agreed to assist England in getting all the Ger man possessions south of the equator. Xorris asserted. "These agreements were made In secret, at a time when all the nations entered in them were proclaiming to the world that scret treaties and secret diplomacy must be forever abolished." he continued. 'Toor. weak China was not told by these great 'statesmen representing the highest civilized nations of the earth, that after she had assisted to the limit cf her power in overcoming Germany, she herself should be pounced upon and her territory turned over to other nations, the same as it was proposed to turn over the territory of the common ( enemy."

President's Friends Say He Can Explain Shantung Agreement Clearly. ,c John Edwin Nevin Itl Fr CORRESPONDENT I. N SERVICE? WAHINGTON, July 15.-Presi-dent Wilson will fight to the last ditch against reservations by the United States to the German peace treaty. This was again emphasized by administration leaders today. Predictions that the president would agree to inconsequential c!iang9 through reservations to "save th" faees" of certain senators were said to be utterly without foundation by administration leaders. CAN'T GET THE VOTES. They insisted that the president has thoroughly canvassed the g:-neral sltuition and that h- is -oninced that th opposition could net muster er.oi.-a-ri i senate votes for any single reservation ! in order to incorporate it in the treaty. ! Since his arrival in Washington the i president has dcalth personally with i certain Democratic senators who ver I reported to be waering in their sup- ; port of the treaty. As a result o? j These conferences Mr. Wilson was ssl by the men closest to him. to be certain that th-re will net be more thn one Democratic senator Heed, of Mlsj souri recorded in favor of any modlflj cations of the treaty. CAN EXPLAIN SHANTTTNQ. The president also believes that v far as the Shantung agreement is concerned he will be able to explain h(s ac tion in this connection so that certain Republican votes lined up in opposition to the treaty largely because of this one provision will be available for ratification. The president is very anxious, his advisers say, to explain the Shantung situation to the. senate. He has discovered that many of the facts concerning these negotiations have not been made plain, even to administration lieutenants in the upper branch of congress. Wiethe president appears before the foreign relations committee to tell of the negotiations he will make the following revelations.: k First That Great Britain. Fran and Italy had bound themselves In the most explicit terms, by a secret treaty entered Into with Japan at the commencemen of the war, to confer In perpetuity on Japan all rights and benefits enjoyed by Germany under Its "term" treaty with China extorted from the latter country. Second That the Chinese government also had entered Into a secret treatment with Tokio Chinese diplomats say it was extorted whereby Japan was given concessions along the. lines of the so-called 22 demands originally insisted on by Japan and later reluctantly withdrawn following a vigorous protest by the state department. Third That when he president 'Wilson) after a conference with Wellington Koo, on of the Chinese reace commissioners, protested against Japan retaining any claims whatever at Shantung, the representative of Great Britain, Mr. Lloyd George: of France, Clemeneeau. and of Italy. Signor Orlando, produced the secret treaty and announced that its terms were in every way binding upon them and that they were prepared to insist that Japan should have all concessions promised. This left the United i States absolutly alone in opposition. REED FLAYS -LEAGUE IN THE SOUTH PTTVfNTTJl!!T,ONL NEWS SERVICE! BIRMINGHAM, Ala.. July 15. Senator James B. Reed, of Missouri.
