ALLIES GET WILSON

U. S. Disapproves Latest En-
tente Step, but Doesn't Insist
Upon Dec. 9 Agreement
ANSWER IS UNEoUIvocAL
BY the Associated Press

London. Feb. 25.-President Will
sons reply to the allied note on the
Adriatic situation reached London to-
day and was delivered to the allied
Supreme Council. sH.e
Washington, Feb. 25.---No agreement
for the simultaneous publication on
both sides Of the Atlantic OF the ex-
changes on the Adriatic situation Ios
yet been reached. it was said today ut
the State Department. Negotiations OF
the subject, however, are continuing.
There has been an understanding herc
that the notes would be made public in
Washington regardless of whether the
allied premicrs agree to the publication
in the allied countries, but 1t was said
today that they would not be published
here until after the negotiations now
in progress were concluded.
Romo, Feb. 25.A(By A. P.)--Com-
menting on the Adriatic situation and
President Wilson's protest to tho Su-
prcmc Allied Council, the Messaggero
says: I'VE Italians read and forget the
injury done us Dy Nr. wilson tCn :
acious 1talophobia, because he is not
America and We admire aud love Am.
erica in spite of him.
In an editorial devoted to the recent
statement of Frank A. Vanderlip rela-
tive to the difficulty of America granting
new credits to Europe, the newspaper
says: Our economic situation, must
not be judged too severely. America
must trust the strength Of italian work.
If it is helped in time with raw mater
ials and credits IL will be able to inten-
sify our production which. together with
n limitation Of consumption, will enable
us to pay old and new debts"
Reports of the refusal of the United
States Senate to accept notifications of
Senator Lodges reservations to the
Versailles treaty have created a great
impression here and the Senate's action
is considered as signifying the collapse
Of American participation in the League
of Nations, at least according to the
covenant arranged by the Peace Con =
ference. The Epoca expresses the
opinion that all questions submitted to
the League of Nations, including Presi
dent Wilson'S proposal to make Fiume
an independent state. will fall through.
