France Welcomes
Wilson 8 Action

PARIS, Feb. 17-The Allies reply to
President Wilson's Adriatic note, it
was declared on good authority to-
day, differs only in form from fore
casts already printed in the French
newspapers, but is not as long as was
originally represented.
The French attitude, it was said at
the Foreign Office this afternoon. has
never changed regarding American
participation in the various peace ne
gotiations, and it is still held that
American cooperation is essential to
readjustment of the worlds affairs.
In the Adriatic question, it is stated
France and Great Britain are put in a
dilemma, the Italians, in advance Of
any other satisfactory arrangement,
holding them to execution of the Treaty
of London. On the other hand, Pres
ident Wilson, while repudiating the
London treaty, resists other settlements
acceptable to Italy.
France Welcomes Diversion
Since the settlement proposed by the
Allies and the United States in De-
cember last the controversy has worked
into an acute stage, Jugo-S Slavia resist
ing the compromise proposal framed
in January, and progress toward set
tlement of the dispute being virtually
blocked. Consequently, the intcrven-
tion of President Wilson at this time
it is said, is welcome to France, since
it brings back the United States into
the negotiations.
Foreign Office officials declare the
French government never has taken
any attitude that might be construed
as partial to any of the conflicting ele-
ments in the United States It's posi-
ton, they say, has been difficult. be-
cause it has been unable to negotiate
direct with President Wilson regard
ing peace matters, and rsked offending
the Administration if it made any move
that might be interpreted by the Pres
ident's opponents as favorable to their
views.
BRUTAL Menace" Is Charged
"Pertinax," of the echo de Paris"
who is exceptionally we'll informed, 3,
says regarding Mr.. Wilson'S note that
the postscript of the memorandum
from which the note was drawn up
contained "the most brutal menace
that if his warning was unheeded he
would withdraw both the Treaty Of
Versailles and the Anglo-Franco-A Amer
lean pact from the Senate"
"Pertinax" says the Allies are con
the horns of dilemma" and con-
cludes:
at is only too obvious the Allies
will maintain their formula of Jan
uary 90" (Here the writer refers to
the virtual ultimatum sent to the gov
ernment of Jugo-Slavia, asking that
1T agree to the compromise proposal
relative to the Adriatic or have the
Treaty of London carried into effect.)
New-York tribune., 1920-02-18

Objectionable matter, but sufficient Il
left to indicate the character Of tn,
comment, such expressions a. "brutal
insolent, imperious tone" and "Ameri
can imposition" being printed.
The "Tempo" welcomes President
Wilson's action if it should have the
effect of binding the Allies closer to-
gether.
The "Idea Nazionale" designates n
president Wilson'S conspiracy with
the Jugo-Slavs."
The "Corriere d'Itala" says: "Prcs
ident Wilson might have launched his
veto when compromise was still
under discussion. Doing it now has all
the appearance of the wish to create
the gravest embarrassment"
The "Epoca" says: "Premier Davido-
witch (Serbia) had practically accepted
the compromise, but Pachitch and Dr.
Vesnitch desperately solicited inter
vention by President Wilson, sending
him dispatches from all the centers Of
go-Slavia. Mr.. Wilson was repro
sented as the genius destined to savo
the Jugo-Slav nation from the imper-
ialstc thirst of Italy"
Denies Wilson Represents U. s.
The Tribunal" says that President
Wilson's treatment of Secretary Lam
sing is unprecedented, "even among
those dynastic despots who considered
their ministers servants" and adds:
After disposing of Mr.. Lansing, Pres
ident Wilson does not represent the
will of the nation, nor even the will of
his own party. Italy has the right to
maintain irrevocably her contention,
either of compromise or tho Pact of
London"
The "Giornale d'Italia" says: ellis in
tervention was couched in such an un-
genial form as to arouse the suspicion
it was suggested only by his invincibe
aversion toward Italy. He must have
convinced even his compatriots that he
is guided only by animosity.
"Therefore, the Allies have reacted
energetcally against his attitude,
which is offensive also to their dignity,
as the compromise proposals sent to
Belgrade We're framed chiefly by Pre-
mier Lloyd George. Mr.. Wilson, who
purposely was not represented at the
discussion of the compromise, has no
right to veto his application" ="
"ltaly's Calvary is to be prolonged
by the will of one man, who is dictat-
ing the laws of Europe" says Ttalie. :"

Szechenyis to Retain
Riches if Treaty Fails
Count Denies as ''Infamous" Re.
ports That He Is Seek.
ING Divorce

BUDAPEST, Feb. 17.-Interest in tho
question of whether America will sign
the treaty Of peace with Hungary is
shown by Count Laszlo Szechenyi. hus-
band Of the former Miss Gladys Van
derbilt, of New York If America does
not sign the countess's fortune which
is now sequestrated in the United
States cannot be held for Allied repara-
tlons.
The count who is visiting American
friends here, to-day denied as "in
famous" reports that he was seeking
divorce.
"It is unbelievable" he declared,
that the father and mother of four
children whom both love should wish
to separate"
He also expressed anxiety that Coun-
tess Szechenyi be treasured on this
point, and said the reason they were
separated at present was that he was
unable to go to America since he is an
cncmy subject. He asserted he was
with the countess in Switzerland until
she secured permission to visit Amer
lea, and that previous to their de-
parture from Hungary year ago, al
though she was able to get passports
for herself and children, she refused
to leave until passport was granted
her husband.
The fortune of Countess Szechenvi
in the United States, which was taken
over in November, 1918, by A. Mitchell
Palmer, then alien property custodian
amounts to nearly $4ooO,00O in secur-
tiles and the income from a trust fund
of $5'000,000 established for her by
her father.
Countess Szechenyi returned to the
United States last year with her four
children by special privilege Of the
Department OF State, which disregarded
the fact that she became an Austrian
by marriage. She has been with hel
mother during the winter at Newport
K. !. A dispatch received Sunday
quoted Count Szechenyi as denying re-
ports that he contemplated suing for q
divorce.

PARIS, Feb. 17.-A frank confession
that developments Of the last three
days make the question Of Americas
attitude case of Confusion worse
confounded," and determined refusal
to express even the shadow of an Of
fetal opinion are noted in government
circles in Paris. 1t is pointed out that
London is the present center of inter-
est.
The dismissal of Mr.. Lansing caused
no surprise here, for Paris became we'll
informed about the situation while Mr.
Lansing was with the peace delegation
here--hls overshadowjng by Colonel
House and his relegation to minor
status by Wilson-and long wondered
how a situation which must have been
intolerablc to Mr.. Lansing could per-
sist. There is little press comment on the
situation, so swiftly came the rumor of
Mr.. Wilson's displeasure with Jusse-
rand and finally the Adriatic note to the
peace conference. What comment there
is shows anger, but in official circles
the immediate belief is that the Presi-
dent felt himself fully recovered and
believed it was necessary to show
certain degree Of tinality in resumng
conduct of affairs. A food Of messages
indicating Americans believe events
show Mr. Wilson's mind still to be af-
fcctod has not influenced this belief
While newspapers acidly speak of the
"divagations of a sick man." the att-
tude of government circles is found in
a conversation with French diplomat
to-day, who said
II find nothing in the Wilson letters
throwing doubt on the Presidents
mental state, though certainly they re-
fleet annoyance. I prefer to assume
that, after his long isolation, during
which his influence at home and abroad
naturally waned, he believes the best
strategy, if he is to recover the ground
lost, is to strike at once, and strike
hard"

CLIMATE
 SUBJECT OF GREAT STORIES

No wonder we brag of our wonder ful climate. Just read this: Con- versation among the travelling men in the lobby of the Hotel Adams had drifted around to varying climatic changes which they had experienced in Arizona. "The northern part of the state in the higher regions is where you find your quick changes in wealth er," remarked one. One day was in Prescott. l set out bucket of cold water and the sun was so hot it start ed the water boiling. The minute the sun went down the atmosphere changed and that hot water froze so fast that the ice was still warm when l felt it half an hour later"
 That's nothing replied a listener. My partner and myself arrived in Flagstaff one morning after a big snow. We arrived just before sun-up. I rolled snowball and threw it at my partner. Just as I threw, the sun came up and it's rays were so intense that the snowball scalded my partner when it hit him."

HOW THE WORD HELLO"
 FIRST ORIGINATED

You should try to learn the old wolf hunters call, because you know the wolf is a scout, and that should be the scout call.
 This call was used in France first and afterwards in England, but there are no wolves in England now and the bugle call has been forgotten in both countries, therefore we "paint it green and call it our own." Even though William Tell and Robin Hood bugled the same calls before America was discovered, we can make it American the same as we have made the old French wolf hunters cry American. French was spoken in English court circles, so the titled wolf hunters used the French cry of 'hab le loup" or "a lou loup," loup being pronounced loo, the cry being "a la loo"; the English put on the "h" and made it halloo, and we made it hello, which is an Ameri- can expression, as all the telephone girls know.
 So the old wolf hunters bugle calls which came here with the Huguenots will also be American when blown through wooden fat-boatsmen's trumpet.-Dan Beard in Boys Life.

LIBRARIES LAUNCH
 MANY ACTIVITIES

The American Library association,
 an organization of the libraries of the country, has long been working to pro-
 vide books for every type of citizen, and following it's tremendous effort to supply reading material to the army and navy in the war and during the armistice, now is proposing to launch new activities and to extend its scope in many directions. A recently is- sued pamphlet, copy of which has been received by the library of the Northern Arizona Normal school, summarizes the work to be undertaken this year, and explains lines of en- deavor not generally understood by the layman. In order to promote the education of adults, the organization will cooperate in the preparation of reading and study courses which may be pursued by anyone having access to library. It will work for more adequate equipment for university, college, normal school and public school libraries; it will give advice to penal, correctional and charitable in- stitutions wishing to establish librar- ies; special attention is to be given to the development of juvenile depart ments and the promotion of good read ing among children; committee of education and information is to be re- sponsible for the promulgation of the library idea through magazines, news papers, leaflets, exhibits and in other legitimate ways; practical aid will be provided for the development of new
The Coconino sun., 1920-03-19

libraries, the establishment of library commissions in states without them, and the creation of rural libraries to meet the need of rural populations. An innovation by the organization, in- stiuted for the benefit of the war blind, is the publication of books in the new Braille type, already begun by the library war service, and to be continued by the A. L. L. in co-opera- tion with other organizations for the benefit of the libraries serving the war blind in the United States.
 Money appropriations for libraries of the country are remarkably small in proportion to their far-reaching and intending influence. The income of all libraries in the United States is SIG, 800 ,00O, sum about one sixth as large as it should be to be adequate, and in spite of the fact that there are today 75,000 blind people in the Unit ed States, there is not the slightest provision for them. Within the past few months $5,0O0 has been privately subscribed for the printing of books with raised type, some of the best lit- erature being thus made available to the sightless.
 Many cities are starting campaigns to raise funds for the carrying out of these proposed activities. Flagstaff's newly aroused interest in it's own pub- lie library argues we'll for the recep- tion of the A. L. A. program in the city.

The company has trouble with thoughtless drivers nearly every time there is fire Sunday, during the Episcopal church fire, some one drove over the hose and broke a coupling.
 Not only does hose cost $1.50 a foot making breaking it up expensive, but an accident occurring to the hose dur ing a fire would seriously interfere with the work of the firemen and might cause thousands of dollars loss
