MR. JARDINE AND THE CAPTAINCY
The School of Science, Agricul- ture and Engineering will be re- moved to the new campus at Shek Pai in the Autumn, and the build- ings there are completed in part. Except the Medical School which remains at Tungshan, the entire university property will be moved to Shek Pal next year, and the present buildings in the "city" will be occupied by the middle school
and the primary school. The new university grounds occupy 9.600 mow with picturesque surround-

Mr. Baker says that the secret treaty, or "exchange of ideas," as Baron Makino, the Japanese dale gate, called t, was not published during the Peace Conference. It was discussed by the Council of Four in April 1019, during the crisis over the destiny of Shantung.
It was then stated that Japan put forward at the beginning of 19176a derand that the Shantung concession in China and all the former German istands in the Pa- eife north of the Equator should he allotm her in the peace settlement.
