China Protests
Japanese Rule
Of Kiao-Chau
Both Houses of Parliament
Ask lVacc (louncil for
Restoration of Province
W ithout Restrictions
Concessions Are Opposed
Tokio Advisory Council
Votes INot to Yield in
the Shantung Situation
PEKING, May 1 (By The Associated
Press).?Both houses of the Chinese
Parliament passed a resolution yester?
day protesting throught the Foreign
Office to the delegates of the five
great powers at Paris against the
transfer of the control of Kiao-chau
to Japan. Both houses request that
Kiao-chau be restored direct to China
without condition. They also ask that
concessions in connection with the
Kiao-chau-Tsinan Railway, which were
exacted from the Chinese government
by Germany, and protocols of agree?
ment relative to the Kaomi and Tsing
Chowfu and other extensions of the
Kiao-chau railway, be cancelled.
TOKIO, May 1 (By The Associated
Press).?The diplomatic, advisory coun?
cil voted to-day to adhere to Japan's
attitude relative to the Shantung Pen?
insula and to make no concessions or
?uses at Paris, according to
newspapers here.
PARIS, May 1 (By Tho Associated
Press).?The Chinese delegates to the
peace conference have requested the
council of three to give it an official
statement on the Kiao-chau agreement.
While not concealing their disappoint?
ment over the published unofficial ver?
sion of the agreement, the Chinese
withhold comment pending an official
explanation of the terms.
All German rights at Kiao-chau and
in Shantung province are to be trans?
ferred without reserve to Japan, ac?
cording to an agreement reached yes?
terday by the council of three. Japan
voluntarily engages to hand back
Shantung province in full sovereignty
to China, retaining only the economic
privileges granted Germany and the
right to establish a settlement at
Tsing-tao, south of Kiao-chau._
A great difference of opinion pre?
vails in conference circles as to the
effect the compromise arranged in the
Kiao-chau controversy will have in
1 ar Eastern affairs. The Japanese
dolegp.tes are pleased over the transfi ?:
of German rights and property to them
and say the agreement virtually car
i ies into effect the provisions of the
t'hino-Japanese treaty of May 23, 1915.
The owners of the railway out of
Kiao-chau will use special police only
ire the security of traffic. This
c ? will 1 - composed of Chinese, with
: tch Japanese instructors as the di-;
rectors of the railway shall select and
who are appointed by the ( hi?ese gov?
ernment. All Japanese military forces
are to be withdrawn at the earliest
possible moment.
The American delegation regards this
agreement as the best possible solu?
tion of the Far Eastern problem to
be obtained without risking a break
similar to that which resulted in the
Italian delegation leaving Paris. Con?
fidence is felt that tho league of na?
tions, which will have control over the
future relations between Japan and
China and which will guarantee the
future territorial integrity and inde?
pendence of China, will be sufficiently
strong to safeguard Chinese interests
and insure the return of all China's
rights in the Shantung province.
President .Wilson and Premiers Lloyd
George and Clemenceau are all espe
:ager for the withdrawal of Allied
troops from all enemy colonies, and are
confident thet the league of nations !
can speedily solve ?lending disputes !
when military pressure is eliminated.

Various lesser details of the peace

For Signing Peace Treaty
Spacious Dining Room of Hotel Trianon Filled Up

of Diplomacy for Delivery of Pact to Foe
VERSAILLES, May 1 (By The As?
sociated Press). The spacious dining
room of the Hotel Trianon to-day re?
ceived its peace congress installation
three long tables in horseshoe form,
covered with the traditional green
cloth of diplomacy and games of haz?
ard. The installation is imposing in
the size of each of the side tables,
which extend some forty or fifty feet
through the room. At the head of the
apartment is a table about thirty-five
feet long, at which the representative
of the great powers will be seated,
with President Poincar? or Premier i
Clemenceau in the centre. '
Inside the horseshoe is another table!
covered with red plush and in the ?
space between one side of the horse?
shoe and the windows is a similar
table. In the window openings are a
number of smaller square tables for
secretaries.
Day Not Named
This is a scene for the handing over
of the terms of peace. The exact date
of the ceremony has not been an?
nounced, but it is commonly assumed
that it will occur on Saturday. The
French government, however, has care?
fully obstained from naming the day,
either to the public or to function?
aries entrusted with arrangements, and
il is a fair presumption that this is
diplomats of Great Britain and France
in placing in the hands of the United
States the task of taking their chest?
nuts out of the fire in the Italian
Fiumc controversy," he concluded.
Belgian Government
Will Reject Treaty,
Brussels Paper Says
BPvUSSFLS, April 30. ? Extremely
strong measures relative to Belgium's
demands at the peace conference have
been decided upon by the Belgian gov?
ernment, according to "The Star.''
"Belgium will not accept the terms
the council of throe desires to impose
upon her," the newspaper says. "She
will demand a complete fulfilment of
the promise contained in the declara?
tion addressed to her by France, Great
Britain, Italy and Japan, and that ex?
pressed in the seventh of President
Wilson's 'fourteen points.' She will
refuse to sign any peace treaty which
does not restore Belgium to political
and economic independence and does
not entirely indemnify her for damage
sustained during the war."
LOXDOX, May 1.?One of the princi?
pal features of the arrangement for
indemnity to Belgium against which
Belgium is protesting is that that
country will receive $500,000,000 as a
part of the $,">.000,000,000 which Ger?
many will be asked to pay by the end
of next year as part of a total rep?
aration to be exacted later, according
to the Paris correspondent of "The
Mail."
The Belgian delegates, it is said, de?
cline to accept the arrangement with?
out consulting their government, be?
cause it leaves undecided the propor?
tion of the ultimate reparation money
to be allotted to Belgium.
A Router dispatch from Paris states
that a meeting of the Belgian Cabinet
has been held, under the presidency of
due not. only to the problem whether
the intervening time will be long
enough to verify the credentials of the
Cern?an plenipotentiaries, but also the
uncertainty whether the draft of the
treaty can be completed by Saturday.
Questions relative to the adequacy
of the ?lowers of the German delegates
and their qualification to speak for Ba?
varia, which came to the front to-day,
may furnish an occasion for deferring
the handing over of the treaty.
Germans Prepare for Congress
All the German delegates, including
Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau, the
Foreign Minister, were out for a brief
stroll yesterday despite the inclement
weather. The afternoon was devoted
chiefly to preparations for the con?
gress. There was a busy coming and
going of subordinates between the
three hotels occupied by the mission.
The Germans excite little curiosity in
Versailles, and passers-by rub elbows
with the Teutonic visitors, scarcely
taking note of them as they pass.
The labor leaders have promised
that the procession in the May Day
demonstration would not enter Bue
des Reservoirs, and an adequate force
of gendarmes and detectives were
placed to see that agitators did not
gain access to the servants of the three
hotels with an idea of forcing them
to join in the one-day strike. Big
placards, with the French equivale:,)
of "keep moving" were posted every?
where along the streets.

Argentina Denies Advising
Mexico on Monroe Doctrine
BUENOS AYRES, April 30. Honorio
I Pueyrrcdon, Foreign Minister, denied
! to-day that Argentina had any part in
Mexico's refusai to recognize the Mon?
roe Doctrine.
Salvator Diego Fernandez, Chief o?

! Mexico "has not recognized and will
not recognize the Monroe Doctrine or
any other doctrine that atacks the sov?

He said that this declaration was called

I Berlin Writers Warned
To Keep Out of Paris
VERSAILLES, May 1 (By The Asso

i sioner Oudaillo has informed the Ger
i man correspondents that arrangements
have been made with regard to them.
: He told them he was aware that some
of them had been in Paris and warned
: them that they must not leave the
| triangle of 250 acres reserved for the
Cern?an delegation. Any infringement
: would mean their arrest and probable
; expulsion. . Commissioner Oudaille
asked them to comply with the regula?
tion-; as the French correspondents did.
The chief of the German pressmen
? replied, thanking the commissioner for
the courtesy they had received, and ex?
plaining that his colleagues had acted
in ignorance of the regulations, which
he promised henceforth would be
respected.
Further precautions are being taken,
as it has been found that while the
i lombers of the delegation observed
the regulations some of the minor cf
ficials had been less careful.
Albanians Say W ilson
Plan Is Death Blow
Dismemberment of Nation Is
Forecast if Volpna Is Given
if> the Italians as Suggested
PARIS, May 1 (By The Associated
Press). The town of Volpna, which
President Wilson said should belong
to Italy in his memorandum to Pre?
mier Orlando is not on the Dalmatian j
const, but is an Albanian port now oc?
cupied by Italians. The Albanian del-,
j cgation here is much exercised over
this recommendation and say seizure
! of Volpna by Italy would start a move
j ment which would threaten the dis
. memberment of Albania.
Premier Venizelos has based on
Daly's possession of Volpna a clnim
? on the Albanian islands for Greece, and
the Serbians, encouraged by this action,
are making proposals which aro said
i to be threatening Albania's existence.
The text of the memorandum hand
fed to Premier Orlando of Italy by
I President Wilson on April 14 was
: made public at Paris Tuesday night.
' Relative to Italian claims on the east.
i em shore of the Adriatic, President
I Wilson, among other things, said:
"I believe there will be common
agreement that the island of Lissa
' (thirty-three miles southwest, of the
port of Spalato, Dalmatia), should be
ceded to Italy and that she should re
tain the port of Volpna."
Available maps do not show the
town of Volpna. One of the principal
ports of Albania, however, is Avlona,
otherwise known asi Valona, on the
bay of the same name on tho southern
part of the Albanian coast, and it
seems not improbable that this port
may be the one meant. Italy occupied
I Alvona early in her participation in
j the war and has since retained pos
session of it. It was the base for her
extensive operations in Albania in co?
operation with the Allied forces around
tir and elsewhere in Macedonia.
Reds Quitting
Petrograd, Say
Finn Reports
! News of Recent Capture of
Olonetz Concealed From
People; Sweeping Victory
Over Kolchak Claimed
HELSINGFORS, May 1.-Petrograd is
being evacuated by the Bolsheviki, re?
ports from reliable sources say. Many
of the inhabitants are being sent away,
and the Bolshevik government is taking
rigorous measures to prevent news of
tho happenings at Olonetz from reach
j ing the peopele.
Olonetz, 110 miles northeast cf Petro?
grad, has been in the hands of Finnish
troops and Karelian non - Bolshevik
forces since Sunday. Its capture weak?
ened the Bolshevik position in the re?
gion east and north of Petrograd and
probably compelled the Bolshevik with?
drawal along the Murmansk railway
to west of Petrozavodsk, sixty-five miles
northeast of Olonetz.
Reds Claim Kolchak Defeat
LONDON, May 1.?-A Russian wire?
less dispatch says that along the Sal
mysch River, northwest of Orenburg,
the Reds "obtained a complete victory
over Admiral Kolchak's 4th Army
Corps," wiping out eight regiments and
capturing moro than 1,500 prisoners.
The general in command of the Sibe?
rian 5th Division also was captured.
The Bolshevik statement adds:
"The banks of the Salmysch are cov?
ered with bodies. More than 600 have
been counted. Many of the enemy were
hurled into the river by bayonet
| thrusts."
Another Russian wireless message
says the Bolsheviki have carried out
! an advance on the front south of Arch?
angel and that on the Eastern front
the Siberians have been driven back
twenty miles in the region east of
Orenburg.
Concerning the situation on the Arch?
angel front, the Russian statement
claims the Reds have advanced on the
left bank of tho Dvina to the mouth of
the River Shuvega, east of the Vaga.
A further advance has been hindered
by spring floods.
On the other hand, the Bolsheviki
were forced to retire six to ten miles
north of tne Elabuga-Usrapolsk rail?
way (in the region east of Kazan').
Along the Murmansk railway tho
Bolshevik troops, under Allied pres?
sure, have withdrawn to new positions
thirty miles west of Petrozavodsk, on
the western bark of Lake Onega.
Naval Action Forecast
ARCHANGEL, April 29 (By The As?
sociated Press ). -The Bolshevik flo?
tilla, according to a prisoner captured
yest?rr;ay on .he Dvina, has reached a
point about half way between Kotlas
and tho Allied positions south of
Bereznik.
Collapse of Bolshevism
Is Declared Imminent
Radical Stronghold Completely
Encircled; Hungary in Plea
for Peace With Rumania
WASHINGTON, May 1.?Evacuation
of Petrograd by the Bolsheviki, re
i ported to-day in dispatches from Hel
' signfors, in the opinion of observers
j here, may prove to be the initial breali
! in the structure erected by the radica
' leaders, which, if recent developments
continue their normal course, woulc
lead to complete disintegration of th(
; Bolshevik government in Russia.
This belief was strengthened by othei
! dispatches telling of the indicated col
lapse of the Hungarian soviet, who, i
was said, have sued for peace witl
Rumania.
Allied successes in the Archanel am
: Murmansk sectors, although minor ii
; comparison with the great extent o
territory involved, are expected by of
ficials here to have material influence
especially when taken in conjunctioi
with the forward movement of Czechs
Esthonian and loyal Rsusian forces 01
widely separated sectors.
Ring Closing on Bolsheviki
Analysis of the military map of Rus
sia, maintained here for information o
the general staff, shows a gradual en
circling of the centre of Bolshevism
has been under way for month-s. Al
though there is nothing to indicate i
common plan of action between the va
rious elements opposed to the Red gov?
ernment, the effect has been to throw
wall of anti-Bolshevik forces aroun
Central Russia, narrowing the terri
tory held by the soviet to a compara
tively small proportion of the area they
had occupied.
Troops of the anti-Bolshevik Leader
Kolchak, according to latest reports,
! have been striking west in the general
| direction of Moscow, and now hold a
general line through, Glatzov, Sarapul
and Kinel, forty miles from Samara, to
. ! Orenburg, on the Ural River, while due
i north of Moscow the Allied Archangel
!fiont runs south to Vologda and then
I west to the Gulf of Onega, where it
I connects substantially with the Mur
; mansk Coast sector.
The "ring" here is taken up in effect
i by the Finnish revolutionists who hold
the line down to the Gulf of Finland.
The Czecho-Slovak armies are actively
engaged on a front which stretches
from the Gulf of Margrav to Pskov,
; thence to the gulf at Narva.
Attention of the Bolshevik leaders
? is held to the east by tho energetic
, Polish forces, and strangely enough,
! by German Republican fores and to
the south by the Rumanian and French.
Taken as a whole, these various
' fronts completely encompass the ter
; ritory which has become the strong
! hold of the ultra-anarchist move
: ment.
The situation of the Hungarian so
? viet is even more critical from a
! strictly military standpoint. The
; Czechs are pushing eastward toward
: Budapest and already have established
j themselves on a line from Vrczw to
: Eperjes to Karpfen, while the Ru?
manian forces are headed west toward
i the same genera! objective.
In the case of Russia, military ob?
servers here say, the indicated col
i lapse is due principally to opposition
! in Russia itself, and, secondly, to the
| armed opposition. It was recalled
that, when the Allied expedition was
j sent into Ri. of the purposes
! announced was the hope that their
; presence would lend moral assistance
i to the elements in the interior which
were interested in the restoration of
a stable government.
