reliably informed that President Wilson

force the altitude Of all the allies.
The president j. regarded a. having in
creased unity Of action among the allies
since Americas entry into the war BY his
having raised the issues of the war to the
highest level of right. The president had
escaped the entanglement> with controver-
sieS on lower plane and takes the lead
IN placing the allies upon an nnshakable
moral ground, refusing 10 consider ques-
iions Of more expediency. All the news
papers continue 10 discuss the note in most
approving terms.
