note to the peace conference on the
Adriatic question has furnished Lon.
don political and newspaper circles
with a surprise and interest surpass-

spectators. The Presidents reappear-
ance as determined party In the
peace negotiations vas construed a.
almost as threatening as his order for
the George Washington to be pre-
pared to take him home from France.
First Seen ~ UItimstum.
The first versions of the event gave
1t the aspect Of an ultimatum, which
meant that the council Of the allies
must stand by the terms which Presi-
dent Wilson accepted in December, OF
America would shake the dust Of Eu-
ropean anairs on her feet altogether!
and also that the council had framed

sweeping a construction had been
given to the Presidents words, forti-
fed by news from Downing Street

not a cloud ahead"-is taken as q
purely diplomatic optimism.
