was detrimental to Jugo-Slavia ana
that it provided for the partition Of
Albania.
Maintains Same Position.
President Wilson's note Of Feb
ruary "a, the last diplomatic: paper
in the record, except the reply to it
now on the way to America, begins
by saying the president "feels that
in the present circumstances he has
no choice but maintain the position
he has taken all along" and reiter-
ates the principles enunciated or
Americas entry into the war. He
adds "in the opinion of the Amer-
ican government the terms of tbs
peace settlements must continue to
be formulated upon the BASIS of tho
principles for which America entered
the war;"

orandum of December 9, remained
untouched" and added that only
two features undergo alterations
and both these are to the advantage
Of Jugo-Slavia."
Reunite 100000 Jugo-Slavs
The British and French premiers
argued that the disappearance of the
free state of Fiume would reunite
100000 Jugo-Slavs with their father
land and that the Albanian settle
ment was such as to afford salts
faction ito the necessary require
ments to all parties concerned"
They characterized it as fair settle
ment of "a difficult and dangerous
question" and shat in the, event OF
its not being accepted they will
be driven to support the enforce
ment of the treaty of London, which
is satisfactory to nobody" y
Both premiers disclaimed any in
tent to show the slightest discour-
tesy to the United States or that
they wished to conceal their action
in any way" As President Wilson
was not at the conference, they
said, they thought the best plan was
to proceed with the negotiations and
communicate the result to the
United States.
Profound Alteration.
President Wilson'S reply of Feb
ruary 10, said he could not believe
that a solution containing provisions
which already had received the we'll
merited condemnation of the French
and British governments (referring
to the settlement of December 81
can in any sense be regarded as
right"
presidents note, chad been con-
demned by the French and British
governments in terms no less severe
than those employed by the Amer
lean government-while there is
thus substantial agreement as to the
injustice and inexpedience of Italy'S
claims there is difference of opin-
ion as to how firmly Italy's friends
should resist her importunate de-
mands for alien territories to which
she can present no valid title"
The American government, the
presidents note said, feels that it
cannot sacrifice the principles for
which it entered the war to crafty
the improper ambitions of one of its
associates, or to purchase a tempo
rary appearance of calm in the Adri-
attic at the price of a future world
conf1agration.
Won't Sanction Secret Treaty.

an unjust settlement based on a Sc
cret treaty, the terms of which are

Will Obey the Primaries.
Captain Adams said:
IF elected a delegate to the ma
tional republican convention | shall
carry out the wishes expressed BY
the republicans of this state at the
April primaries. However, wish
it distinctly understood that my per.
lsonal preference is for General Per.
shing for president ! have knowr
General Persting for % years. Hi
has made good in everything he ha:
undertaken. His service in the In.
dian wars, in the Spanish war, il
the Philippine insurrection, and as
our military representative in for.
teign countries was highly distin.
guisfled and honorable.
He has always been the best type
Of the American soldier. The i'm.
portance of the part he played in
the great world war cannot be over.
estimated. The bringing to an end
OF that war was due primarily tc
his, foresight, determination and
strategy. our government was
putting forth its every energy on the
theory that the war would last al
least another year. and that we
would have to send from 100000
to 100000 men overseas to bring
lit to All end.
Believed in Yanks.
"But General Pershing had conf
dence in the 10000 men he already
had in France; he believed in the
fighting quality of the American
soldier, and he laid his plans and
pi oceeded to execute them with the
faith of a Christian in his Savior
That splendid army of ours, directed
by General Pershing with the fore
sight and military genius of a truly
great commander, broke the linden
burg line and brought the war to
an end.
"If elected president Of the United
States, General Pershing will serve
the people of this country with the
same modesty, honesty and eff
ficiency that characterized his serv-
ice in the world war"
Displayed Diplomatic Ability.
Captain Caldwell said:
II heartily favor the nomination
Of General Pershing for president.
I believe he is the type of man most
needed in these times. He is not
only a great military leader; he is
also a great executive officer, as is
evidenced by the fact that in l8
months he built up the American
expeditionary force from fewer than
100000 to 100000 men and organ
lied it, with all its branches of COM
bat, production and supply service,
into one of the greatest fighting ma
chimes that ever existed.
General Pershing showed great
diplomatic ability in his dealings
with other powers. His tact and
courtesy and his firm grasp of every
situation won for him the confidence
and admiration of all of the allied
powers. The expert knowledge Of
foreign affairs which he has ac-
quired constitute an asset which no
other candidate for the presidential
nomination possesses.
General Pershing is my first
choice for the republican nomina-
ton. If elected with Captain
Adams, however, / pledge myself to

conditions, or an unjust settlement
arrived at by employing that secret
treaty as an instrument of coercion
the Adriatic issue as it now pre-
sents itself raises the fundamental
question as to whether the American
| government can on any terms CO.
operate with its European associates
in the great work OF maintaining the
peace of the world by removing the
primary causes of war---if substan-
tial agreement on what is just and
reasonable is not to determine in
ternational issues; il the country
possessing the most endurance in
pressing its demands rather than
the country armed with just cause
is to gain the support of the pow
ers; if forcible seizure of coveted
areas is to be permitted and con-
doned and is to receive ultimate
justification by creating situation
so difficult that decision favorable to
the aggressor is deemed a practical
necessity; if deliberately melted am
bition is, under the name of national
sentiment, to be rewarded at the ex-
pensc of the small and weak; if, i'll
word, the old order of things
which brought SO many evils on the
world is still to prevail, then the
time is not yet come when this gov
ernment can enter concert of
powers the very existence of which
, must depend upon new spirit and
new order"
Allied Premiers' Reply.
The president wound up his note
by saying that if the maximum con-
cessions made in the memorandum
of December 9, could not be ac-
cepted "the president desires to say
that he must take under serious con-
sideration the withdrawal of the
treaty with Germany and the agree
ment between the United States and
France (the Franco-American alli-
ance) which are now before the
senate and permitting the terms of
the European settlement to~be indie
pendently established and enforced
by the associated governments"
Millerand, who bad succeeded
Clemenceau as premier of France,
and Lloyd George replied under
date of February II, saying there
was "no foundation for the assump-
ton that the new settlement in
wolves "a capitulation to the Italian
point of view as opposed to the
Jugo-Slavs." They summed up
President Wilson's criticisms of the
new agreement under four points:
That it ceded to Italy the corridor,
that the corridor with Fiume as
free city paved the way for annex
alton to Italy, that the modification
to the Jugo-Slav-Italian frontier
