TO Intern WILLIAM;
ALLIES SATISFIED
<Ry Associated Press)

THE HAGUUE, Feb. 16.-The latest
allied note to Holland with regard
to extradition of the former German
emperor, reversed the original demand
for his surrender, and asks only his
internment, with the suggestion that
the former monarch be sent to one of
the Dutch islands in the East Inries,
it became known today.
The Associated Press learns on ex-
cellent authority that the Dutch gov
ernment has already determined to
reply with an order actually to intern
Wilhelm at Doom.
Holland would accept the full re
sponsibility of preventing him from
endangering the peace of the world
establishing a guard over him and a
strict censorship.

PRESIDENTS T
|ADRIATIC Note
IS ANSWERED
Premiers Make Short Reply to
American Chief Executives
Objection to Settlement Of
Jugo-Slav Muss.
THREAT IS INTIMATEDI
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Feb. 16.-Prompt rejection
OF President Wilson's objections to
the compromise agreement by which
England. France and Italy hoped to-
settle with Jugo-Slavia questions rel.
at1ve to the future status Of the East
ern coast OF the Adriatic is reported
In the Echo de Paris.
Premiers Lloyd George of Great
Britain, and Millerand of France,
drafted the reply to the Americacn
chief executive and insisted Jugo-sla-
via must agree to the compromise,
with the Alternative of seeing the treaty
of London become operative. 1t is said.
At the same time the premiers' ~
ply was sent to Washington, the for
eign minister of Jugo-Slavia was noti-
fled the viewpoint of the British and
French governments had not been al
tered by the seemingly unexpected
action of Mr. Wilson.
Contents Not Public
Contents of the Wilson note have
not been made public He is said,
however, to have given intimation the
United States would sfind it impos-
sible to continue to concern itself on
European affairs, If the allies proceed
to settle the Adriatic problem without
consulting the United States"
1t is said the President entered ser
ious objections to the ultimatum to
the Belgrade government on Jan 20,
and declared 1t differed from the pro-
gram framed by Premiers Clemenceau
and Lloyd George, with the assistance
of an American representative, last
| December. :
While not connected with the situa-
| tfon resulting from the Wilson note. a
cabinet crisis has arisen at Belgrade.
| The ministry, led by Premier David
| ovitch resigned yesterday, announce
of the refusal of Prince Alexander to
dissolve the present provisional par
| lament and call for the election of a
constituent assembly. 1t is probable
| this situation will delay still further
settlement of the Adriatic problem.
| WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-President
Wilson, 1t was learned today at the
white house, did not say in his note
to the Entente premiers regarding the
Fiume question, that the United
States would no longer be able to con-
Germ itself in European affairs if a
| Fiume settlement were made without
consulting America.
Officials said the Interpretation Of
the presidents note by the Paris
Temps was "too sweeping" They
said the United States would not
withdraw from participation in the
peace treaty and the league of ma
tions, If the treaty were ratified by
the senate, but that 1t would be with
drawn from any participation in the
Fiume settlement, including the po-
licing of the Adriatic.
LONDON. Feb. 16-Up to noon to-
day the reply Of the Allied Supreme
council to President Wilson's note
relative to the proposed Adriatic COM
promise, had not been dispatched to
Washington. 1t was learned after a
meeting of the council today.
Meanwhile the presidents action is
being treated as a sensational devel-
opment by the London press.
