In 1914, before--Japan mobilized to attack Tsing-Tao, the former German leasehold in Shantung, she called on Great Britain for joint action, basing her request on the Alliance. That was the beginning of this complicated international problem of Shantung, which the iniquitous decision of the Paris Peace Conference has made known the world over. Then the Shantung question started the notorious '21 Demands of 1915, whose contents might not be familiar to the average reader, but they were most inimical to the vital interests of China...

For it is the aggressive policy of Japan in China, operating...
...Under Cover" does not seem to have suffered from years of retirement, even the problem of who's who being as perplexing as when we first saw William Courtenay in the riddle. Be-derbied custom inspectors are fascinating creatures, especially when they soften to $30,000 bribes! And who will tire of the clever crook and the daring detective--the be-all and end-all of adventure in Long Island Society--stage version? In addition to the thrills there is plenty to laugh at, by which we mean genuine laughter...
