The issue over the Adriatic has
reached an acute stage where de-
cision one way or the other cannot
longer be deferred, and decision
either way is fraught with serious con-
sequences.

It Is known that a number OF pro-
posals have been brought forward de-
signed TO give more prompt and more
effective guarantee of military assist

nations affords. But none of these pro-
posals had been accepted up to forty.

President Wilson's contention has
been that the league was enough guar
