Pie is wholesome, combining both fruit and grain. Those who have trouble digesting pie should take ONE SPOONFUL simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc, as mixed in Adler-i-ka.

Wilson in Latest
Note on Adriatic
Assert Agreement on Fiume
Would Pave the Way for
Settle ent of Other
Questions With Italians
By Ralph Courtney

Special Gable to The Tribune
Copyright. 1920. The New York Tribune Inc.
PARIS, March 10-Juro-Slav officials
manifest their Joy and gratitude that
President Wilson in his latest note on
the Adriatic shows no signs of weaken
ing. "All our hopes are centered in
America" the Jugo-Slavs declare.
They say they are in entire agree
ment with the opinion that if the Fiume
dispute could be settled there would be
no difficulty in the Italians and Jugo-
Slavs reaching an agreement on other
questions.
"The crux of the situation is Fiume."
Slav delegation 10 the correspondent
to-day. "Italy wants Fiume at any cost
IT she can't have it to-day she wants
such arrangements as will give her the
city at some future time. This thought
lies behind all hor propotal als--even be-
hind the suggestion that Fiume be left
free TO determine her own course
What would happen then?
Want Fiume Entirely Free
cat some convenient date new
d'Annunzlo would come along and es-
tabIsh an independent government
which would declare in favor of union
with Italy The Italians would then
shrug their shoulders and declare:
This is none of our doing, but we can't
refuse Fiume when she wants, to Join
US
"The Jugo -Slavs, on the contrary,
manifest their complete good faith by
declaring they will accept any arrange
ment which makes Fiume really free.
whether this be under the sovereignty Of
the league Of nations or some other ar
rangement. We are willing to give up
all nope of Fumes belonging to US if
the Italians do the same"
The Jugo Slavs say they are still
without any new offer from Italy
ltaly's demands, they say, have shown
signs OF increasing instead of dimin-
lshlng with time, which prevents the
Jugo-Sla from viewing the situation
with optimism.
The Journal des Debats" brings
forward a new angle of the Adriatic
question tonight by suggesting that
Italy receive compensation elsewhere re
for capitulation to America concerning
Fiume
lndorses Presidents Position
after further reflection Premier
Nitti and his colleagues will have to
arrive at the conclusion that if there is
to be compensation they must look for
it elsewhere outside of the Adriatic,"
the "Debats" says, fully indorsing
President Wilson'S position Neither
before nor after Americas Intervention
have we been sparing in our criticism
of the President Of the United States
when ii seemed to us that he was mis-
taken, but in this particular case it is
impossible to declare he is wrong.
Ordinary decency demanded that the
Allies should not without consulting
Mr.. Wilson come to a decision on a
question in which it was known that
he was seriously interested. That is
why every good Frenchnan, remember
ing his services, viii recognize the
soundness Of Mr.. Wilson's conclusions"
New-York tribune., 1920-03-11

that the government, which has large
majority in Commons, represents only
a minority of the general public. put
there is no indication that the pre-
mier's position is threatened or that
the government is likely to suffer po-
litical reverse. It's Commons majority
is too large to be affected by by-elec-
tions, and Mr.. Asquith is not likely TO
win over enough coalition Liberals to
give him an opportunity to- form vic
torious coalition with the Labor men,
bers and Lord Robert CeciPs followers.
Miners Head Quits
Robert Smillie, one of the first advo-
Gates of direct action, resigned to-day
from the presidency Of the Miners Fed
Grafton on account Of illness, 1T was
announced.
Smillie's retirement removes one of
the most powerful extre mists, but the
country also loses also one Of the ablest
lenders in the man who had an oppor-
tunity to sit in the Lloyd George
Cabinet. Most of his radicalsm was
duo to the fact that he headed the
most extreme body of labor in Great
Britain and he always declared his
policies less radical than those de-
manded by his followers.
The last Labor member Of the Lloyd
George government mas gone with the
resignation to-day Of G. J. Wardle,
