New Boundaries Now Proposed In Postwar Talks
A sweeping summary of competing aims from France to Japan outlines redrawn borders and buffer states. France seeks Lorraine and Rhine frontier security with new buffer regions, while Britain pushes for a League of Nations and mandates in Africa and the Pacific. Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania, and Belgium assert varied claims from Adriatic corridors to Danube access and reparations, as Japan and China demand noncolonial rights and equality, with Asia and the Pacific islands under shifting influence.

Taft Critiques League Plans Among War Aims
In this public letter Taft argues that the Allies’ cause in World War I justified their actions, condemns Germany’s aggression, and warns against rewarding German colonies. He urges the League of Nations be strong and practical, with direct governance of colonies, rather than vague mandates or rituals. He questions Wilson’s proposals and emphasizes imperial accountability and justice for occupied territories.

Police Close To Identifying Chinese Mission Murderers
Police in Washington say the motive behind the killings of Dr. Theodore T. Wong and two assistants remains unclear, but strong signs point to a male suspect who tried to cash a 35,000 check after the crime. Bank officers believe they know the killer’s identity, and authorities keep the suspect under tight surveillance as investigators, aided by New York police, pursue leads tied to the Boxer indemnity era funds.
