NO" Martens replied II would re-

Martens described the soviet ideas Of

"They are already appropriated by

support the rights Of the Jugo Slavs
in the dispute over Flume, u was an
nounced today at the White House.
This government will not withdraw
from the Adriatio controversy, II was
stated Threatened Withdrawal or
American naval forces from the Adrl-
attic would not be taken TO mean That
the United States will not interest IL
self further in the situation.
President Wilson's communication
TO the Supreme Council with regard to
the proposed Fiume settlement, to
which be objects, was only ten lines
in length and was in no sense an ulil-
maium, while House officials said. IL
was a reiteratiOn OF Wilson's original
position on Fiume as the United Press
announced yesterday
These statements followed a confer
ence between President Wilson ana
SecretaTy. Tumuhy- Tumulty has also
conferred with Aciing Secretary or
State Polk. and it is asked that clari-
flying statement be Issued by the state
Department.
Il was disclosed that after the Presi-
dent had gone on his Western trip last
fall, he received messages That the
Supreme Council was making numer-
Gus changes in the Adriatic agreement
and that he at that time adopted the
uncompromising attitude which Is
shown in the latest memorandum.
A high official Of the state Depart
ment today explained ihe present diff
ference between the Allies and the
IInitctl States on the Adriatic question
as follows:
"On December 9, a note, signed by
Great Britain, France and the United
States was submitted TO Italy for She
settlement Of the Adriatic problem.
This plan was never accepted by Italy.
Then the Prime Ministers met again
in January and submitted another plan
TO Premier Nltt Of Italy, which was a
modification OF the previous proposal
concurred in by the United states. This
modification was in favor OF Italy, and
Italy accepted Il as the 'irreducible
minimum. This was. sent TO the Jugo-
slavs on January 20, with the ultima
tum that failure TO accept IL would re-
suit in the enforcement OF the pact Of
London. Following its dispatch 10 the
Jugo Slavs the plan was communicated
TO the United States; IL did not secure
our approval and President Wilson's
note resulted.
THE United States was not a party
10 the January plan. and II the Allies
want us 10 accept any proposition for
the settlement OF the Adriatic they
must have say In its formulation" /"
The principal objection OF President
Wilson to the Allied plan Is under
stood to be provisions placing the city
OF Fiume under the sovereignty Of
Italy and giving Italy a strip Of land
connecting Fiume with Italian Istria.

Philip T. Case. a FORMER Major OF the

now manager of the Capitol Theatre,

sonally hung a new British flag across
the canopy of the theatre yesterday af-
ternoon after nine women, Irish SYM
pathizers. had pulled down the flag Of
Great Britain which previously had
hung with others OF the Allies.
The women appeared outside the the
atre while a workman was adding the
finishing touches TO the flag decorations,
which were put up because OF a special
theatrical attraction. The man came
down a ladder which was tilted against
the top OF the canopy and went inside
the theatre to get some light bulbs. This
offered the opportunity for which the
Irish loyalists were waiting.
One OF the women climbed the ladder,
holding to her skirts with one hand.
Reaching the top, she steadied hersef
and gave a tug which tore loose the
British emblem She dropped II Into the
hands of the women below. They MADE

Some of those in the crowd were syrnpa-

No one offered to modest the women
Mr.. Case did not see the insult to the
flag. but sent In call for police when
he was told OF It. While he was send

and warned him not to make trouble
for those women" When Mr.. Case COM
pleted the call, the angry stranger struck
at him, but the ex-Major warded the
blow and cracked the man on the nose.
The intruder retreated outside and made
no further complaint BY the time the
police arrived the women had disap-
peared. There were no arrests. Mr..
Case then hung the new flag.
