lnkling of Vie,vs
On Adviatic Treaty

PARIS, Jan. 6-The attitude of the
United States toward the treaty be-
tween Italy and France, Great Britain
and Russia, relative to the eastern
coast of the Adriatic, has not been
clearly Defined as far AS known. When
it came up recently. in the course of
peace prelimlnaries, the United States
did not indicate how it would stand
when the treaty entered into consider
alton.
The first time the question arose WAS
when the Interallied Conference framed
the terms for the armistice between
Italy and Austria. In stating the line
to which the Austrian troops must re-
tire, the armistice outlined the from
tier as it is defined in the treaty This
was accepted by the Interallied Confer
ence, but it is understood that Colonel
E. NJ. House, the American representa-
tive. stated that the designation of the
frontier as it stood in the treaty be-
tween the four nations was nor TO be
taken as expressing any position by the
United States on that treaty.
The same situation was again pre-
sented when American warshps par
ticipated in the carrying out of the
naval clauses Of the armistice with Aus
tria. The occupation of ports was made
largely under the supervision of the
Italian navy. which had a large num-
Der of warships along the eastern coast
of the Adriatic. The Jugo-Sav element
there manifested some opposition, but,
owing to the delicacy of the issues in
volved, the question of Americas atti-
tude one way or the other, was de-
ferred.
Secrecy Not Observed
Article 16 Of the treaty provides that
it shall be kept secret, but the terms
have become known and are occupying
much attention in conference circles.
Article provides that the future
treaty Of peace will give to Italy the
Trentino, the whole of Southern Ty-
roll the cities Of Trieste, Gorilla and
Gradisca, the Province of Istria and
the Istrian Islands
Article 5 gives Dalmatia and the
Dalmatian Islands to Italy. Other ar
Asiatic Turkey, in case of Turkey be-
ing broken up.
Wilson Retains Reserve
"It is not difficult to divine" says
the "Temps" in an editorial, "that Pres
ident Wilson desires an equitable ar
rangement between the Italian and
Jugo- SlavS and between the Italians
and Greeks, but even when he has men
toned the burning word Balkans he
has never departed from his smiling
cordially and courteous reserve.
"Our comments, therefore. should OBJ
serve the same discretion That he mas
shown IN his remarks"
The editorial then supports Mr. Will
sons thesis, that new system of equl-
lbrium is inconceivable, except By the
creation Of IA league Of nations. by say
ing: Owe are thus brought 20 a sub
ject which is most dear TO us. A.
league Of nations can be founded only
on = close, permanent union Of victor.-

would be afforded if each nation, before
oeglnnlng to remake the map of
EUROPE would undertake to accept with
good Will the decision of the peace CON

that President Wilson might prove the

to the settlement of the Adriatic oues

Paris Gets u. S. Trend
Paris newspapers have at last be
gun an effort to make known inde-
Pehdent American opinion to the
French pubic. Hitherto practically
the only American cables published
here were those dealing with straight
news matter, pure and simple, and
delivered almost entirely from official
sources.
The fact that the recent American
elections resulted in Republican vic
tory made deep impression upon all
classes Of the French public, and
caused people here to modify to a
great extent their attitude toward
Mr. llson and his fourteen points 5
particularly those referring to the free
dom OF the seas and a society of ma

Until that period it was generally
believed here that Mr.. Wilson, cspe-

out OF gratitude for what America had
done both before and since she entered

This, indeed, is still their attitude,

Wilson on Way to
Paris After Great
Reception at Turin

TURIN, Italy, Jan. (By The Asso
/ Grated Press l.-President Wilson to-
day wound up his visit TO Italy by a
tour of Turin, which gave him another
tumuituous welcome, quite as hearty
as the greetings he received at Genoa
and Milan.
After a round of receptions. which
included the freedom of the city being
conferred upon him. a luncheon. at
which the Cardinal was present and
where the President made a speech.
and visit to the university. where an
honorary degree was conferred upon
him. President Wilson and his party
departed for Paris, where they arc due
to arrive tomorrow morning.
Inc most picturesque feature of
president Wilson's visit here was the
gathering Of more than a thousand
mayors Of cities and towns in Pied
mont TO greet him They came from
the hills, the fields and the valleys,
and virtually every little 'cross-road
community was represented as we'll as
the large cities. Each wore sash of
the national colors. They represented
all walks of life and every condition
of society.
Edcn GetS HandcldSp
The mayors passed before the Presi-
dent in a long line and each received a
smile and handclasp. The same recep-
tion was accorded all of them.
Some of the mayors were so shy
that when they looked in through the
door at the brilliantly lighted recep-
ton room they had to be dragged in
side by their friends. Some of them
kissed the hand of the President.
Others bent their knees in low bows.
Crowds of thousands packed the
square before the palace Of the Duke
of Piedmont and heard President Will
son from the balcony deliver a short
speech.
Later at luncheon President Will
son, responding TO the welcome ac-
corded him, repeated the words Of his
Milan speech of Sunday night deal
ing with the sufferings of the working
classes for their part in the war and
telling the men of Turin that while
peace was to be made in Paris, it was
their business to continue TO carry
on their efforts for lasting peace.
The war had been won, the Presi-
dent said. at great price-not of
blood and treasure alone, but of suf-
1erlngs and hunger of women and
children and the loss of hopes and
ambitions, all of which made neces-
sary the guarantee of lasting peace.
Roosevelts Speech Circulated
While the demonstration for Presi-
dent Wilson was in progress in front
Of the palace several men circulated
among the crowds distributing pam
phlets in Italian containing former
President Roosevelt's comment on
President Wilson's fourteen points for
peace.
At one point of the march through
the city the air was filled with futter
ing papers, which turned out to be ar
guments addressed TO President viii.
son pointing out why he should sup
port ltaly's claims to Dalmatia and to
other territorial expansion.
The President evidently was in good
spirits throughout the day, although he
was tired from constant travel and
speech making. Nevertheless he en-
tered into the happy spirit of all the
demonstrations, at times leading the
bands with gestures. while the crowds
cheered. At one time he threw kisses
to the crowds with both hands.

Has Praise for Women

The President also said that he had
been deeply moved by the sufferings
of the women, and without in any way
minimizing the bravery of the men
and the suferings through which they
passed in achieving their heroic at
tainments, he declared that the sacri-
fees Of the women of Italy, who for

tragic of all

Thousands Fight to
Kiss Wilson's Hand
Or Touch His CEothine

MILAN, Jan S (By The Associated
Press) President Wilson voiced again
to-day his view that the working peo-
pie OF the world demanded from the
coming peace conference not merely
treaties of peace, but guarantees of the
justice and the future of the peace to
be made. He declared his belief that
the social structure of the world
rested upon the great working classes.
and reiterated his conviction that the
peace must be made with the senti-
ment of those classes constantly kept
in view.
The President made these declara-
tions in his speech at the reception
given him by the municipality, his
principal speech of the cay. The re-
cepNon accorded the American Esecu
tive was most enthusiastic one, both
here and at Genoa, where he made q
brief stop on his way from Rome to
this city.
In Genoa the President was greeted d
by hundreds Of thousands of the COM
mon people, who acclaimed him in the
most extravagant terms. fought and
scrambled to be near enough to touch
him and even attempted to kiss his
hand or clothing as he passed through
the dense crowds surging and buffeting
about him.
Mr.. Wilson's visit of three hours in
Genoa was marred by q tropical down
pour which drenched the President and
all of his party. The streets ran river,
and gale snapped the fagstaffs

soaked and torn and tapped in the

ried out his full programme. including
