TangIe Presented to Slavs.

Paris.-Hugh c. Wallace, the Ameri-
can ambassador, delivered to the
French foreign Office a memorandum
from President Wilson in which the
President said he could not approve
of Premier Lloyd Georges proposed
settlement of the Adriatic question,
which has been submitted to the Jug0-
Slavs.
1t is also said that an identical mem
orandum was delivered to the British
Foreign Office in London.
President Wilson gives it to be un-
derstood that if the allied powers set
tie the Adriatic problem without con-
sulting the United States government
the United States will find it impossi-
BILE to concern itself in European af-
fairs or continue in the peace confer
ence.
In his memorandum President Will
son criticizes Premier Lloyd Georges
claws by the Supreme Council on Janu.
ary 20. The President examined the
plan, but declares he cannot approve
of its tenor. He particularly opposes
the idea which consists in giving the
Jugo-Slavs the choice between this
Of the London pact.
In addition, according to the Paris
Temps, the President finds the Lloyd
George plan too divergent from the
memorandum drawn up at London last
December by Premiers Lloyd George
and Clemenceau, with the collabora-
tion of the American representative.
The League of Nations is watching
the situation closely and may step in
at any moment. Officials here are
frankly fearful Of the possibility of
war over the Adriatic. 1t is admitted
that if the situation comes to an i'm
passe between the Serbians and the
Italians this may afford the first op.
portunity for the league to enforce a
settlement through the application of
economic measures.
