The Paris correspondent of the New York Times sends the text of the agreements between Japan and England, and Japan, France, Italy and Russia, made in February, Ml 7, whereby the Powers agreed to support Japan's claims to the .fti-mer German islands in the Pacific north of the Equator, and the Japanese claims in Shantung, while Japan agreed to support Britain's claims to the islands south of the equator. The correspondent says that President Wilson and the Chinese delegates were not aware of the arrangements when the Peace Conference opened, but when the question of mandatories was discussed Mr. Lloyd George said that arrangements regarding the Pacific Islands had already been reached. There was an awkward moment when President Wilson asked the nature of the arrangements which were then explained. Britain, in a message to Japan on February .16, 1917, said, with reference to Japan's desire for au assurance of Britain's support of Japan's claims at the Peace Conference, that the British Government acceded with pleasure to the request and supported Japan's claims regarding the disposal of Germany's rights in Shantung and the islands north of the equator, it being understood that the Japanese Government would treat in the same spirit Britain's claims to the German islands south of the equator. Japan replied that Britain's attitude was a fresh proof of the close ties uniting the two Powers, and agreed to support Britain's claims. Paris, April 22. Mr. Lloyd George, President Wilson, and M. Clemenceau discussed the Japanese question. Signor Orlando was ab-sent.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. FORBIDDING GERMAN MILITARY MISSIONS.
