WILSON ACTS IN
FIUME SITUATION
LET'S IT BE KNOWN THAT HE
WILL NOT SANCTION THE
ITALIAN CLAIMS.

Paris. - President Wilson's en-
phatic declaration that he will not
yield on the Adriatic question has
created the most profound sensation
in the peace conference. He has
thrown down the gauntlet to the sup
porters of secret treaties in a man.
ner which almost took away the
breath of the delegates who have
been urging compromises on points
covered by many secret documents
and at variance with the presidents
IA points.
President Wilson's sweeping decla-
ration while aimed directly at the
Adriatic problems also reaches the
Kiau Chau controversy in which Ja-
pan relies on secret agreements made
with Great Britain, France and Italy
in 1917, to support her in her claim
to the concessions held by Germany
in Shantung.
The peace delegates generally re-
gard President Wilson's statement as
challenge, which once for all will
dispose of the question whether Sc
cret documents, of which many ma
tions participating in the war were
ignorant, are to figure in the peace
following an armistice in which all
the allies pledged gave no regard to
secret treaties.

GERMANS ARE READY
To VOTE ON Terms
HAVE BEEN SECRETLY PREPAR:
ING ELECTION MACHINERY
FOR SOME TIME,

Berlin.-Appurtenances for an elec-
ton such as voting booths, lists ana
clerks are all in readiness for an i'm
mediate plebiscite on the peace
terms, which can bo completed all
over Germany In 4S hours, according
to Information obtained from sources
close to the government
Preparations have been going on
secretly for several days, il is declar-
ed, and II the terms are published enc
morning the referendum can be TAX
en- the next day and the answer can
go to the entente 48 hours later. 1t
is asserted that the only probable
chance Of an affirmative answer
would be In case there is an agree
ment to negotiate details OF the
terms. Thus IL an indemnity is fixed,
Germany cannot hope to dispute the
total, but must be allowed to send
experts to discuss ways and means
OF payment, it is said.
1t is declared the cabinet wishes to
avoid the responsibility of either re-
fusing or accepting the terms.
Therefore plesbiscite is almost
certain. 1t is believed the result will
be refusal to accept the peace
terms. because the people will over
look the consequences of such an
act-the maintenance of the block
ade, the stoppage Of food importations
and the accompanying evils which
may be expected-in view of their re-
luctance to sanction harsh terms. 1t
is asserted an agreement to nego-
tiate the details of the treaty is abso-
lutely the only bash upon which Ger
many in her present mood will vote
IN the affirmative.

Paris. = The American delegates
have been unable to agree to certain
portions of the report adopted by the
majority of the Commission on Re-
sponsibility for the war. As pre-
sented to the Council of Four, the
report contains a memorandum set
ting forth the American reservations.
The Americans object to the prin-
ciple that persons accused of offenses
against "the laws of humanity"
should be subjected to criminal pros
ecution. They say that the laws and
principles Of humanity constitute a
standard too uncertain to be rightly
applied in legal proceedings.
The principles that heads of states
should be liable to criminal prosecu-
tion for breeches of positive law is
another point in which they fail to
agree with the majority. The Ameri-
cans express the belief that the es-
sence of sovereignty lies in the fact
that head of state is responsible for
his illegal acts to the people from
Wnom ne derives his authority and
not to any foreign country. 1t is not
contended that this principle applies
to a head of state who has abdicat-
ed, for any proceedings against such
person would be against an indi-
vidual no longer embodying the SOW
ereignty of state. Nor does the
principle apply to political offenses
committed by the head of state
which may, if deemed expedient, be
made the subject of judicial action
and punishment.
Holding these views, the American
delegates were unable to concur in
the recommendation for the estab-
lishment of a high tribunal and
prosecuting commission for the trial
of criminal cases, as advocated by
the committee.
