' -; CHINA FILES PROTEST '(Continued from page one.) merits was China a party nor was she informed of their contents when In vited to Join the war against the Cen tral Empires.; The fortunes of China appear thus to have been made ob- BARRELS ' Jects ot negotiation and compensation after she had allied herself with the . allied powers. "Apart from this, it Is at least open to question how far these agree ments will be applicable Inasmuch as China laa become a belligerent. The claims of Japan referred to in this agreement appear to be scarcely compatible with the 14 points adopt ed by the powers associated against , Germany. "If the council has. granted the ' fclalms of Japan in full for the pur- . pose of saving the League of Nations as is intimated to be the case, China has less to complain of, believing as she does, that, it is a duty to mane sacrifices for such a noble cause. She cannot, however, refrain from wish- ing that the council had seen fit to . call upon strong Japan to forego her . claims animated by a desire tor ag ' erandizement, instead of upon weak China to surrender what is hers by right. V - '- " "dreat will, tie the disappointment and disillusion ot the Chinese people over the proposed settlement. "If there Is reason for the council to stand firm on the Question of Flume, there would seem to be all the more reason to uphold the claim of China relating to Shantung, which Inoludos. ihe, future welfare, of 36, 000,000 souls and the highest inter est of peace In the Far East."
