China and Japan Accept Hughes and Balfour as Friendly Advisors. May be Means of Solving Problem Threatening Complications.

IST NIGHT WfRR.1 WASHINGTON, Nor. with it some of Uic sharpest Issues of world diplomnacy, tho Shantung eontro-versy took its place today at the Arms Conference. The result was an offer by the United States and Great Britain accepted by Japan nnd China to assume the role, of friendly advisors In new attempt to solve the problem amf end tho long nnd bitter debate. The pUan for an exercise of American and British "good offices" Is understood to have originated with the American delegation after it became apparent China had resolved to raise the ouestlon In the conference. Secretary Hughes and A.

Balfour, as the beads of the American and British group, will meet tomorrow with the Japanese and Chinese to lay the basis for the negotiations. CHINA TVON'T YIELD. The Chfnese delegates announced tonight they would go into the discussions prepared to acqept nothing less than unconditional withdrawn! of the Japanese claims In Shantung. It was assumed the Japanese BpoKcsman you in comer '(iliuiii. .,11 ttiA riinlnmnlic exchsnea hptwppn Tokln and Peking.

Advent of the Shantung ouestlon at the council table followed a debate on the maintenance of foreign troops In China. Speaking for Japan, Vtre-Fureign Minister Hanihara declared withdrawal of the Japanese troops from several parts of China outsld Shanrtms must await "definite agsuranresr that tho Chinese authorities would take more effective steps to maintain order. i REPEATED DISORDERS, 'At Hankow-, said the JapanWffr Ablegate, repeated disorders naa Justified Japan in her troops where they now are stationed. He declared garrisons In North China were remaining under specific authorization of the Boxer protocol and that those along tne Chinese Eastern Railway were acting under the inter-Alllcd agreement of Willingness of Japan to withdraw her troops irum Shantung, ho asserted, was dependent on the establishment of an acceptable Chinese police-forc. The conference reserved Its decision until Friday.

Among the American delegates the belief was that some general declaration of principle might be adopted finally, setting forth the opinion of tho powers that all foreign troops In China without treaty sanction should be withdrawn when conditions warrant. ANOTHRR CONFERENCE. Along with the general subject of foreign troops the problem of foreign telegraph and radio facilities installed In China without her specific consent were brought up with the argument apparently tending toward a reference of that feature of the nego-tintlrmR in more general confer ence on Pacific communications to be held next year. Tn Its approach to the Shantung problem, the conference Is said to have been Influenced by many in-tiiCHte China's representatives have indicated that thev wanted the questions raised openly for all of the nine nations to rlphntp nnd one Chinese delegate. Dr.

Wang, declared that the "Knot! offices negotiations ny no menun meant the subject was "outside the conference." Japan has Indicated reluctance to debate Shantung at the regular because she irnii (he invitation to Washing ton with tue unncrsiaiiuin, subjects should he considered onl bv the nations dliectlv concerned. "ANOTHER COMPLICATION. Another complicating phase Is that Japan bases her claim Shantung on a direct grant contained In the Treatv of Versailles which has been ratified hy live of the nine nations represented, but which China refused to accept because of the Shantung section. Great Britain. France and Italy also are parties to the secret treaties bv which, during the war.

they promised support Janan's claim to the- Klao-C'hou lease. The American delegation Is said to have felt that the proper way to deal with the aues'lon at the present stage would be through lb? tender of "good, offices Although maintaining liaison with the conference. It is expected that for the most part the negotiations will be carried on directly between the Chinese and Japanese delegates. From American quarteis came hopeful expressions. issues.

Th Kprlousncss of the turn of affairs in th opinion of the Ameri- cans Is that Japan In persisting In her request for a 10-10-7 ratio makes a stroke at the fundamental idea on which Secretary Hughes's proposal is based. Japan's proposal, it was disclosed, was based on her estimate of necessity for national security.
