WASHINGTON, Feb. IS United Press,
The Allies Will yield 10 President
WILSON'S s.nd on Fiume and VIII at
least postpone execution OF their plan
for settlement OF the Adriatic problem.
The answer Of the Allies was received
at the State Department today. II is
couched In most concIllatory terms.
The Allied answer It is expected by
, officials, will declare that continued
+ participation Of the United States in the
Adrlatlc settlement and other European
affairs Is most desirable.
/ The allied reply Will not be made
pubic by the State Department, IL was
said, although President Wilson may
give out his protest and the reply later.
After the communication from the Allies
Is decided at the State Department ii
will be sent TO the White House.
There were conflicting reports today
as TO the character OF Wilson's original
note. After the White House had
stated through Secretary Tumulty. that
the note was only ten lines in length
and was not a threat Ia withdraw from
European affairs, State Department
onlcisi said the note contained an inii-
nation that Wilson might have to con-
slider keeping out Of the League OF
Nations unless the Allies abandoned
their proposed plan Of settlement. The
White House and the State Department
appeared TO be putting different inter
pretatiOns on 10.

day Of high Jugo-Slav officials.
The recent agreement between
France, Great Britain and Italy must be
thrown aside, it was said.
Jugo-Slav diplomats refused TO be
quoted. but 1t was learned from high
authority that the recent agreement
between France, Great Britain and Italy
or settlement OF the Fiume question is
considered as a direct violation OF Wiz
sons principles Of self-determinatioD
Though the agreement does give Fiume
