Wajor Giuriati, an Itaiian officer | " who has been witl the forces along the | i Dalmatian coast, has arrived and has | distributed to the press a statement say- ! ing that Dannunzio’s act was neces ary | ~ because he fearec italy would withdraw | ~ her troops from Zara and leave the city | at the merey of tile Jugo-Slavs. : | Toikio, Nov. 19th. —Viscount Ishii, for- | ~ mer Jupanese Ambassador to the United | ~ States, commenting today in the Asahi ~on the reservat on adopted by the Uni- ted States Senate’ oa the clause in the German treaty concerning Shantung, said he doubted whether the other pow- ers would approve the reservation. The - Senate’s action, h: declared, would proba- bly revive the Hliplomarie svirits of the Chinese who havd lately evinced an in- clinatio) to open ®negotiations with the Japanese. The reservation will have | ~ no practical. effe t on the Shantung sit- | uation, since alli tire rights are in the | hands of Japan, and the questi n hard- | ly ean be submitted to ihe League of | Nations.
