Revolving Ct December Agree
ment on Adriatic Question
Is FlatIy Rejected.
TAKES FIRM POSITION
Injection of Albania Issue Into Lon
don Treaty Is Objected To-W;th-
drawal Of American Participa-
ton Again Hinted.

Washington. - President Wilson'S
note to the premiers ON the Adriatic
situation has been given out. Among
other things he says:
1.-The President desires to express
his sincere and cordial interest in the
response of the French and British
prime ministers received on Febru-
airy ~.
"He notes with satisfaction their I'M
altered desire to reach an equitable
solution in conformity alike with the
principles of the Peace conference and
of the legitimate though conflicting as
pirations of the Italian and Jugo-Slay
peoples
''The president is surprised, how
statement of his own willingness to
leave to the joint agreement of Italy
and Jugo-Slavia the settlement of
their common frontiers in the Fiume
region any ground for suggesting the
withdrawal of the joint memorandum
OF December 9. In this he could not
possibly join"
The president also says that he will
not sanction the inclusion of the Al
bantam question in the joint discussion
of Italy and Jugo-Slavia
Neither will he approve the execu-
ton OF the terms of the treaty of Lon
don except insofar as the United
States government may be convinced
that these terms are intrinsically just
and are consistent with the mainte-
nance of peace and settled order in
Southeastern Europe"
SPEEDY Settlement Urgent"
'In conclusion the President desires
to express his concurrence in the view
of the British and French prime minis
tiers that speedy settlement of the
Adriatic question is of urgent impor-
lance. But he cannot accept as just
the implied suggestion Of his re-
spOnsibility for the failure to reach a
solution. He has merely adhered to
the provisions Of settlement which
the French and British governments
recognized as equitable in the joint
memorandum of December and has
declined TO approve new settlement
negotiated without the knowledge or
approval of the American government,
which was unacceptable to one of the
interested governments and which, In
his opinion, was in direct contradiction
Of the principles for the defense of
which America entered the war
"These views he has fully explained
in his note of February 10 and he
ventures to express the earnest hope
that the Allied governments will not
find it necessary to decide on a course
which the American government in ac-
cordance with its reiterated statement
will be unable to follow.

President Considering Warning to Al

Washington-Pres Wilson may
warn the Allies that it will be neces-
sary to withdraw the treaty of Ver-
sailles from the Senate if the Turks
are allowed to remain in COnstantin-
ople, it is learned,
The President is understood to have
such a step under advisement
It was pointed out on high authority
that should the United States join the
League of Nations and the Turks be
permitted to remain in COnstantinople
this country would be in the position
of being obligated to protect settle
ment to which it is opposed.
The issue of whether the sultan
shall be allowed to stay in Constan-

premiers to the fact that Mr.. Wilson
had previously expressed his willing
ness" to accept a settlement arrived
at by direct negotiations between
Italy and Jugo-Slavia. 1t has been as
sumed here that the Presidents reply
will be found on publication to deal
mainly with the invitation of the pre-
miers that he join them in formally
proposing such negotiations to the
Italian and Jugo-Slav governments. No
intimation of his answer, however, has
been given out, and owing to the fact
that it was necessary for the Presi-
dents most recent note to reach Pre-
mier Millerand in France it will not
be made public for several days.

THE BEST CAR
FOR THE MONEY

Looking over touring ears at the
auto show, j decided the best car for
the money was the Oakland Six. Light
weight, being only 1900 pounds, good
for several reasons of low cost of up
keep: first, 5000 to 10000 miles ON a
set of tires; Is to % miles OH one gal
Ion of gasoline: and the small amount
Of cylinder oil it consumes is astonish-
ing; 115-inch wheel-base, giving easy
riding, and its A horse power provides
it with ample power. No other car
possesses the qualities of endurance,
reliability and economy as does the

If you want a car, don't wait until

HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION
WILL NOT BE STOPPED

There is no foundation for the scare
story going the rounds of the press
that highway construction in Wiscon-
sin in 1920 will be stopped, owing to
the high prices asked and the difficulty
in securing material, according to F..
A. Cannon, Executive Secretary of the
Good Roads Association of Wisconsin,
who discusses this subject in the cur
rent issue of Good Roads for Wiscon-
sin. Mr.. Cannon says.
while there will be policy of re-
trenchment in the construction pro-
gram there are indications that as
much concrete construction work will
be done i'll 1920 as in 1919, and more
construction of miscellaneous types Of
roads such as gravel, stone, macadam,
earth roads. etc.
Last year 40 miles of cement con-
crete was constructed and the same
mileage will undoubtedly be construct
ed this year. Last year 700 miles of
miscellaneous types of roads were
built and there is every indication that
it will run to 1000 miles this year.
Summed up. briefly, the facts are, as
follows:
There is available for the construc-
ton of cement concrete roads $4,000
coo in 1920, which should build nearly
400 miles.
There is available for gravel and
other types of surfacing and earth
roads $6,000000, which will build APP
proximately 1000 miles.
There is available for maintenance
Oh the State Trunk Highways and the
Country Trunk Highways, $4.000,000.
With the S12,000,00O available it
was the theory of the Wisconsin High
way Commission to carry out a pro-
gram of building 400 miles of cement
concrete road. However. the scarcity
of cement has made it necessary to cut
down this program. The cement COM
panies have allotted for road cOnstrrlc-
tiom in Wisconsin G75000 barrels.
The price on about One-third of this
amount is the same as last year, $3.50
a barrel at the mill. On the other two
thirds it is $50 a barrel, an increase
of 10 cents The amount of cement al
letted to Wisconsin would build 200
miles of road The allOtatiOn of this
cement among the counties is in the
hands of the Wisconsin, Highway Conn
mission. which must approve of all
jobs done.
''The condition regarding cement
concrete construction Is briefly this !:
The state will have sufficient cement
allotted to build 200 miles. Where
prices are reasonable. all conditions
taken into considera ton. the construc-
tiOn program will he carried out.
Where prices are not reasonable the
work will not be done. 1t Is straight
business policy. Thus far bids have
been asked for S. miles Of cement con-
crete road and let on 35 miles. or 43
per cent. 1t is very probable that as
much mileage will he built this year
as last year. 40 miles.
AS far as gravel. macadam and
other types Of road are concerned. at
tempt will be made to construct the
full program of 1000 miles.
THE maintenance program will be
pushed in it's entirety, with S4000.000
available for state trunk and county
trunk maintenance Despite the cut
ting down of the construction program
the roads of Wisconsin this year will
be in better shape than ever
