WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-President
Wilson's note to the allies on the sub
ject of Fiume is expected to go for
ward Monday. 1t was still in the State
Department today.
TIL enote, it was reported this after
noon, will contain no bad faith" alle-
cation toward the allies. This attitude
of the United States in the reply Is
based necessarily on the important
fact that this country did not consider
the agreement of December 8, which
was signed by Frank Polk. then head
of the American peace commission In
the contrary, 1t was the, general under
standing that it could be modified II all
the parties signatory to II were unanim-
Gus in their agreement to any changes.
1t was for the important reasons thus
set forth that the United States. after
having signed the December agree
ment, suggested that all further dis
cussion OF The document would be con-
tinued th-ouph tue state ID rn1rtment.
The Presidents anger naturally, how
ever, was aroused when notifications
were made without reference to tho
American State Department and like
wise without his personal knowledge.
1t was very well understood at the
time of the signing Of the December
note that the treaty of peace might not
be ratified. in any given time. by the
United States. The American repre-.
sentatives, therefore, by providing that
the State Department be consulted con-
t!nued in full force the understanding
that the whole Adriatic question was
