PLAIN WORDS SPOKEN
IN PRESIDENT'S NOTE |
Allied Supreme Council Informed in
Wood row Wilson's Communication
That United States Might Have
to Consider Withdrawing Treaty
of Versailles From Senate
i
)
Washington, Feb. 17.?The allied,
m i i u,.
sueremp council nas uet:n nuunucu uj ,
President Wilson, it was disclosed today,
that if the proposed Adriatic j
settlement to which the American j
government is not a party is put into j
force the United States might have
to consider withdrawing the treaty of
Versailles from senate consideration.
The president's communication was
not in the nature of a threat in the
common sense of the term, it was
said, but was merely a statement of j
a situation in which the United States
might find itself if asked to subscribe
to agreements in which it had no part,
and to which it was opposed. ,
The explanation was made in offi-1
cial quarters that the league of na- j
tions was to be the instrument for,
enforcing various agreements as to [
boundaries and the like and that if j
the United States became a party to {
the treaty of Versailles it thus would ,
be subscribing to the enforcement of
agreements to which it had not given j
either its approval or consent.
It was explained further, that the,
Anglo-French-American treaty and
the treaty of Versailles were considered
inseparable so far as this ques-1
* * ?? J J 1/ A nifit n I
uon was cozicerneu ttnu uiai ix a oaua- .
tion arose where the president would
have to consider withdrawing the latter
he also would have to consider
withdrawing the former.
An early announcement at the
White House characterized as an "ab? j.
solute falsehood" the statement by j,
"Pertinax" in the Echo de Paris that 11
President Wilson's communication i
contained a postscript bearing a (
threat to withdraw the treaty from |
the senate. This was recognized as!
erroneous as soon as it came ^o the
attention of other officials. Obviously

It UIU uui cume iivm x itouivn ,t **
son himself as it was later explained
that those who made the statement
had spoken without complete infor- ,"
mat ion.
At first, too, the president's communication
was referred to as a
"memorandum'' and was described as
containing only eight or ten lines. It
subsequently was disclosed, however,
that the communication finally sent
was in the form of a note and that it
covered two or three pages. This
note, it was explained, was prepared ;
from a memorandum to Secretary
Lansing which the president dictated 1
and sent to the state department. |'
The original agreement arrived at
Paris on December 9, was handed to
the Italian foreign minister December
12, and was described by Former
Premier Clemenceau in the French
chamber as a joint agreement Between
Great Britian, France and the
United States. I
I ,
Early in January, after the American
peace delegates had returned '
home and the United States was
represented at the meetings by
Ambassador Wallace in the capacity
of an observer, there was a meeting
of the supreme council in which
Premier Lloyd George stated that 1
some modifications had been made in
the original plan of December 9 and ;
on January 14 it was stated that
Premier Nitti of Italy had accepted 1
the revised plan.
The agreement then was communicated
to Jugo-Slavia in the form
of an ultimatum, and while Ambassador
Wallace communicated the fact
to the state department, the American
government was not consulted
about the changes.
When the negotiations on the
Adriatic question were initiated, it
was said, there was an understand-1
ing that all matters relating to this ;
question should be settled through negotiation
between the foreign offices
of all of the powers represented on
the supreme council at Paris.
The American government has not
abandoned its contention that the
transfer to Italy of the "boardwalk''
along the Adriatic from Triest to
Fiume and the possession of most of
Istria and Dalmatia would not be acceptable.
London, Feb. 17.?The 'American j
embassy is engaged tonight in coding!
and forwarding to Washington the reply
of the supreme council to President
Wilson's Adriatic note, which
will be in the hands of the Washington
government tomorrow.
The council made it known in its
daily semi-official communication to
the newspapers that it does not pro-.
pose to make public the correspondence,
so that the question of whether
the text of the notes will be griven
to the world rests with President Wilson.
Since the main facts are public
property, namely, th "
strongly to fh( . : ^ V'
Italirn-Ju.co-Slav pioi^.m by th1 a >-;
plica ion of the treaty of Lendc.n
thereto, nrd cVIecf. f-o </vr >v r; ;> *
"If. > >
from the Versailles compact as a pos- (
I.I
sibility, and that the council objects
to the reopening of the question, the
undecided point is whether the arguments
exchanged shall be published
while the controversy is hot on the <
anvil. j;
The statement from Washington i
confirming the first reports that the ,
president had intimated that rejec- !
tirtn rvf his nn)ir>v mifht he followed
W4V44 VA "4w" r o? ?
by diplomatic reprisals furnished an- .
other surprise to the politicians and ;
the public who, outside of a small but 1
important circle meets twice daily in 1
Downing street and the advisers in ?
the confidence of this group, experi- ]
enced the greater surprise because it j
came close on the heels of other j
Washington messages that only Amer- i
"ox nnrt in no]ir- .
ivai? ICWi^uivav 4AV"* AVk# XT X
ing the Adriatic was intended.
The council issued an emphatic denial
on its own behalf of French news- j
paper reports that it was persuaded !
to modify and soften the first draft j]
of the note to President Wilson by in-1'
tervention exercised by Viscount
Grey, Lord Cecil and Austen Cham- j1
berlain, chancellor of the exchequer, j1
The feeling at Italian headquarters j'
- - I i
in London with respect to the presi-1
dent's action is strong. Unofficially it <
is spoken of as an attack upon Italy, 3
and his memorandum is described as 11
an ultimatum. The Italians also feel 1
that Italy's claims to consideration {
for her part of the war and the sacri- *
fices made have never been quite *
apreciated by her allies. 11
The feeling in the Jugo-Slav camp' *
is eouallv strong, but has the element | *
of elation that the Slavs have a j ^
strong champion. They feel that they j1
are at a disadvantage because ji
Minister Trumbitch is outside the ' *
councils of the pofers and, like the j(
Italians, have their own grievance in! *
that they consider that the fact they 11
were in the war from the start and js
that their country was nearly ruined J;

s
Rome, Feb. 17.?The whole Italian t
press comments at length on Presi- ^
dent Wilson's attitude towards the ,
Adriatic question. The Idea Nazion
ale, designates it "President Wil- i
son's conspiracy with the Jutro-Slavs." j
The Corriere d'ltalia says: "Presi- r
dent Wilson might have launched his s
_,
veto wnen a compromise wus aim uu- c
der discussion. . Doing it now has all j
the appearance of the wish to create j
the gravest embarrassment."
The Epocha says: "Premier David r
Ovitch (Serbia) had practically ac- c
epted the compromise but Pachitch 2
:md Dr. Vesnitch desperately solicited p
intervention by President Wilson by Y
sending him dispatches from all the s
centers of Jugo-Slavia. Mr. Wilson I
was represented as the genius destin-1
ed to save the Jugo-Slav nation from ' 1
the imperialistic thirst of Italy." 11
The Tribuna says that President j *
Wilson's treatment of Secretary Lan-! I
sing is unprecedented even among j ?
those dynastic despots who consider- J
ed their ministers servants," and 1
adds: "After disposing of Mr. Lan-: ^
sing, President Wilson did not repre- j I
sent the will of the nation, nor even [
the will of his own party. Italy has I
the right to maintain irrevocably her j *
contention, either of compromise or:
the pact of London."
"ProciHp-nt. Wilson's veto of the i
Adriatic compromise, the Messagro 1 j
savs, offends Great Britian and i
- i
France even more thar\ Italy, as the;
compromise was on British initiative, !
to which France adhered and Italy i
* - -1 Ti- i + c+Mnor. 1
crnstMiitru. it tunsiucio iw nit onuiig- j
est pretense" on the president's part i
that he should claim the right to sup- t
press any political idea in purely j European
matters, and impose in its j
stead his personal conception, thus I
destroying with his own hands the
moral and political basis of the league
of nations, of which he was the
apostle."
The Tempo appears with white
spaces evidently the result of the censor's
suppression of what he considered
objectionable matter, but sufficient
is left to indicate the character
of the comment, such expressions as
"brutal, insolent, imperious tone" j
and "American imposition" being
printed. #
The Tempo welcomes President
Wilson's action if it should have the
-V
effect of binding the allies closer to
I
London, Feb. 17.?The Daily Mail:
today says it understands the su-!
preme council's reply to President1
Wilson regarding the Adriatic situa- j
tion informs the president that the i
circumstances surrounding the pro-;!
posals in January (when Premiers
Llo^d George, Nitti and Clemenceau :
held their meeting and reached an
agreement) were such that they could
not be ignored and that the council |
was obliged perforce to t^.ke decision:

"Ti r receipt of President Tmson's

continues, ''caused consternation in
Great Britain, France and Italy. It
is stated that a reply was drafted,
the terms of which at the moment j
seemed fully justified. As a matter!
of fact two or more drafts were pre-'
pared Saturday and the council decided
to sleep on its proposals.
"Curiously enough it was the j

Chester. Feb. 17.?When the Span-!
ish influenza epidemic raged so vigor- \
ously last year all over America it
was Chester's mayor, Z. V. Davidson,
who called the people to ask God to
remove the pestilence, in a brief prayer
of 60 seconds each night, during
which time the electric current was
:ut off, so once again at the appearance
here of the malady the people
rosrtWeH t.n thp Hivine method
which proved so effective in quickly j
ending the plague last year. Promptly
it 8 o'clock the current goes off and
or one minute the entire municipality
a in utter darkness while the people
>ow in prayer. The people of Ches;er
are anxious that other cities join
vith it in asking for the divine stamp*
ng out of the disease. With a few
exceptions the type of influenza this
ime is strikingly different from that
>f last year, and the physicians have
he situation well in hand. Before the
nalady hit Chester many of the nuries
here were sent to other places,
vhich as a consequence finds the city
ihort of nurses at the homes. Thus
ar this year there has not been a
angle death that can be traced to
his epidemic.

Woman Says She is Glad to
Recommend Tanlac.
i
Twenty- five years is a long time
for anyone to contend with a physical
ailment, but Mrs. A. C. Allison, of 32
Market street, Anderson, says that
during that many years she had suffered
with a number of troubles before
she began taking Tanlac, which,
she said, soon gave her relief. Now
in her endorsement of Tanlac, Mrs.
Allison says, "it is a fine medicine." 1
Discussing her troubles, her efforts
to find relief and the results Tanlac
gave her, Mrs. Allison says:
"I suffered with indigestion, sleep- j
lessness and nervous troubles. I had
no appetite and was broken down :
generally. I would have spells of ner- j
vousness at times and I lacked i
strength and energy. I had been this 11
way for twenty-five years and had |
spent a small fortune trying to findj|
relief, but failed. I am getting well "
along in years and I needed a general
tonic, too.
"My friends had told me much about
Tanlac and the relief it gave
them, so I began taking Tanlac my
self. Tanlac broke up my indigestion
right away, just as I was told it
had done for others. My nerves became
steady and I began to gain
strength. After taking a bottle or so
of Tanlac I could sleep well. In all
I took four bottles of Tanlac.
"I know from my own experience
that Tanlac is good for ailments such
as those with which I suffered, and
I am glad to recommend it. I know
it is a fine medicine."
