1914.
Her possessions and rights in China she restores to China except

open certain restored areas to international residence and trade.
In Shantung Germany hands over the territory of Kiao-Chow and all
her rights and property to Japan; in Canton she renounces her State
property in favour of Great Britain; she hands over the German
school in Shanghai to France and China jointly.
Her rights, property, privileges, etc., in Siam, Siberia, and

negotiations in respect of Egypt between Great Britain and other
powers.
She undertakes to recognise and accept all arrangements which the
Allied Powers may make with Turkey and Bulgaria with reference to
German interests.
