The Allies will Weld to President
Wilson's stand on Fiume, and will
I at East postpone execution OF their
plan for settlement Of the Adriatic
problem, it was predicted at the
State Department today.
The answer Of the Allies was be-
ing received at the State Department
today and being decoded. Acting
Secretary Polk stated he would not
make the reply public. .....
It is believed to be couched in
most conciliatory terms. The an
swer, it is expected by officials, will
declare that continued participation
of the United States in the Adriatic
settlement and other European af-
fairs Is most desirable.
Differ on U. 8. Note.
There were many conflicting re-
ports today as to the character of
wilson's original note. After the
White House had stated, through
Secretary Tumulty. that the note vas
only ten lines in length, and was
not a threat to withdraw from Flu
ropean affairs, a state Department
official said the note contained an In
, timation that Wilson might have t.
consider keeping America out or the
League OF Nations unless the alics
abandoned their proposed plan OF set
tlement.
The White House and the State De-
partment appeared to be putting dlt-
ferent interpretations on II.
President Wilson's active personal
participation in the Adriatic question
means a renewal of negotiations and
o new settlement, was the view here
today of high Jugoslav officials.
The recent agreement between
France, Great Britain, and Italy must
be thrown aside, II was said.

Soviet Envoy Likens Property
Confiscation in Russia to
Liquor Seizures in U. S

Confiscation Of property by the
Soviet government of Russia was
compared to the confscation Of
liquor by the United States Govern
ment by L. c. A. X. Martens, envoy
from the Soviet government today
before the Senate subcommittee in
vestigating alleged Bolshevist propa-
ganda.
He was cross-examined by Wade
Ellis, counsel for the committee.
Depositors in Russian banks were
protected to the extent Of $4,000
rubles, Martens told the committee.
Says People Confiscated.
"rDidn't the soviet government con-
fiscate the landf" Ellis asked.
Not the Russian government, but
the Russian people," Martens cor
rected.
"And the Russian people connscated
banks as well as the land?" Ellis
asked.
YES" was Martens reply.
"Is IL the purpose of your govern
ment to pay for United States goods
with confscated money!" Ellis asked
Martens objected to the question
and aimed to Justify confiscation OF
property.
The American people conhscated
property when they passed prohibi-
tion and confiscated liquor" Martens
answered
A letter written January 21, 1913,
after the appointment of Martens as
ambassador was read by Ellis. 1t was
signed by Premier Lenin and urged
that labor overthrow Gompers and
align themselves with the Bolshevist
movement.
"The propaganda OF the soviet gov.
ernment is justified when in war with
allied countries. 1t is the same as
the propaganda spread by the United

Fess Would Amend Constitution
To Provide for Disability
of Executive.

A Constitutional amendment giving
Congress and the Supreme Court
joint power to authorize the Vice
President or the ranking Cabinet
officer to assume the duties OF the
President during a disability OF the
Chief Executive, has been prepared
by Congressman s. d. Fess, Ohio,
for introduction in the House today.
Fess would have the Constitu-
ton amended SO that Congress might
by concurrent resolution declare
that the President is unable to serve
after a finding OF the facts by the
Supreme Court.
Provides For Special Session.
In case Congress was not In session
when the President became disabled,
the Fess amendment would give the
Vice President power to call It into
special session for the purpose of de-
termining whether the Chief Execu-
tive Is able to function.
Details OF the plan have not been
completed by Fess, as he believes sew
eral features of his proposal must be
left to Legislation to enforce the con-
stitutional amendment. Just who
would initiate the proceedings to de-
termine whether the President is un-
able to serve would be left to later
legislation. but Fess believes this
should be done by a resolution ask
ing the Supreme Court to investigate.
The legislation enforcing the pro
posed amendment would give the
court power to summon all witnesses
necessary for an inquiry into the dis
ability OF the Chief Executive.
Fess, who Is an authority on United
States history, said he framed the
amendment after a careful scrutiny
OF the Constitution and the debates
during the constitutional convention
"I have determined that the Con-
stitution is defective upon this point"
said Fess, "and that additional au-
