Legal Battle May
 Complicate Fight Over German Liners

Washington, Feb. 19.-Prospects of a legal battle to complicate the controversy over shipping board eff forts to dispose of 30 former German passenger liners loomed large today when Associate Justice Bailey in the district supreme court granted an injunction against the sale of tax payer application filed by William Randolph Hearst. John Barton Payne, chairman of the board, an- nounced that he would recommend appeal proceedings and also an ef- fort to reduire MT. Hearst to furnish bond against loss if the ships laid idle. He indicated that the govern ment would fight to the finish for it's legal right to proceed with the sale.
 Simultaneously Vice Chairman Stevens of the board, in disagree ment with his colleagues as to the wisdom of the sale, continued his testimony before the senate com ,merce committee. Still another diff ference of opinion connected with these ships was developed at the hearing. John D. York, a marine en- gineer of Chicago, contending that the Leviathan, largest of the fleet, could be re-conditioned for passen- ger service only in the yard where she was built in Germany, while K L. Hague, engineer for the board, said the work could be done in American yards. .
 Chairman Jones of the committee announced the question of formula ting recommendation for the senate on this question and also framing oi legislation that might be deemed necessary would be taken up tomor- row in executive session.

Paris, Feb. 19.-- Reservations to the agreement reached by the supreme allied council relative to the Turks being permitted to retail their capi- tai in, Constantinople are contem- plated by Great Britain, according to the Petit Parisien, but decision on this point will not be reached until Premier Millerand returns to Lon- don. Great Britain has been under stood to have taken the attitude that the Turkish government must be oust- ed from Constantinople but the French have opposed this step.
 Organization of the forces which will assume police control of the Dar- danelles has already been planned, says the Echo de Paris, while the Matin asserts Greece will receive Smy- rna and limited district around that city.

ALLIES SAY WILSON
 WOULD DESTROY THE: NEW FRENCH POLICY
Injures Policy for Which He Invited Protection,
 Claim
SUMMARY OF MAIN
 POINTS ARE CALLED
Deny President can Show Plan to Annex Fiume to Italy; Say All Reject Buffer
 State

Buenos Ayres, Wednesday, Feb. IS, "A summary of the main points in the allied reply to President Wilson $ Adriatic note, cabled by the Rome correspondent of La Macion, discloses that President Wilson threatened to withdraw his signature from British French-American treaty establishing security for France, to which the al- lies reply that such action would de- stroy absolutely, the thew French policy" for which President Wilson invited protection.
 The fundamental points of the re- ply to President Wilson, according to the correspondent, are:
 First: The allies answer the ac- custation of having prepared con vention for the annexation of Plume to Italy, which presupposes bad faith on the part of Italy by saying that President Wilson is unable to dem onstrate that.
 the establishment of territorial con- tiguity with Plume is very small thing compared with the cession of ObAAhAtlSAS WAiCH CuC WuOlc WOIlu IS able to prove by merely examining the map of Europe.
 Third: The allies observe that the project of President Wilson which comprehends the creation of buffer state, has been rejected by the Jugo Slavs, and the allied nations have been unable to insist upon it. Fourth: The strip of territory nee ass %< n&H1 4 Plume with Italy has not sufficient value to justify procrastination in establishing the peace of Europe.
 Fifth: Italy entered the war in- spired by ideals at moment at least as critical as that when the United States entered. She suffered sacri- fees in blood and money sincompar- ably more serious than those of the United States. sreza
 Sixth: The President in threaten ing to withdraw his signature from the treaty of Versailles, which es- tablished the security of France, gravely injures the very new French policy for which he invited protection He not only destroys the value of his first and most important, act but an initiates it absolutely since he shows that engagements contracted in ac- cord with this policy can be de- stroyed lightly.
 In drawing up his notes, La Ma cion's correspondent says, the Brit ish delegates prepared the technical form in collaboration with the Ital- ians, while the political sense of the document is that of the French dele gates, who expressed themselves in terms of great sympathy for Italy.

Delay Dutch Note
 in Kaiser's Case

The Hague, Wednesday, FYeb. 18. |-The activity of the Dutch cabinet members in connection with the pres- ent league of nations debate in the Dutch parliament may delay some what Hollands answer to the second allied note with regard to the former german emperor. #
 The first allied note mentioned only Wilhelm himself, but as the second note refers to former German roy- alty in the plural form, it is con- sidered probable that Holland may ask guarantees of the ex-crown prince similar to those to be de- manded for the former emperor.

Up to Premiers.
Europe for Speed.

Suggestions coming from Europe that the course of the allies in pr0- ceedings looking to settlement of the Adriatic situation without the participation of the United States might be attributed to desire for speed and . consideration of the necessary delay in cable exchanges between Washington and the entente capitals were given only passing st- tention here.
 It was recalled thit when the American peace delegAteS loft Paxlx for home in December there Was an3 agreement that questions remainine to be settled would be AdjuatGd thru the entente foreign offices and the American state department The allies continued to be repxesented by their premiers and AmbassadorI Wallace was present as an obsekyers for the American government, but' the understanding here was that the supreme council as such had ceased to exist. j
 From the allied viewpoint it ias said that the seizure of Fiume hy d'AnnunziQ has created ehanGed situation in the Adriatic and thaf ' speedy settlement which would elim~S mate him as factor without ' renns ort to force was desirable
 It is understood that this xiek is not subscribed to here. 1k i9 said that a temporary iinpadimene should not weigh against tho tnndas mental principle of self-deter1nin& z tion.

WILSON RE-STATES us, POSITION WITH
 AIR OF FINALITY
Closely Adheres to His Posi- ton of Note of
 Feb. 10
ALLIED ARGUMENT IS
 MET, POINT BY POINT
Latest Message, However, is Not Re- gar,led as Final Word in the COntrOversy--Now Up to
 Premiers

Washington, Feb. 19-President Wilson today prepared and sent to the state department a reply to the entente premer's note on the Adria- tic question. He is understood to have rc-stated the position of the American government with degree of finality.
 Atho the president dictated his communication in less than two hours it probably will not be put on the cables before tomorrow night or Saturday An impression first out was that it might be transmitted to- night.
 The original draft as prepared by MT. Wilson was sent to Acting Sec retary Polk for his personal study as he was the head of the American mission when the Adriatic settlement of December 9 was reached at Paris with the consent and approval of the president and is therefore thorough ly familiar with all the preliminary negotiations.
 After MT. Polk had examined the document and it has been put in the usual diplomatic form, it proba- bly, will be returned to the white house for final approval before it is dispatched to Ambassador Davis at London for presentation to the pre- miers.
 The president is understood to have adhered to the position taken in his note of February 10, in which he informed the allies that if they were to proceed to settlement of the Adriatic question without the participation of the American gov ernment situation might be creat- ed whereby the United States might have to consider whether it could be- come a party to the treaty of Yer sailles and the Franco American pact. While conciliatory the premier's re- plys to his original note was argu-j mentative. MT. Wilson in his ans wer is understood to have met this argument point by point and is be- lieved to have again called atten- tion to the principle of self-deter- 'mination and his other declarations which were accepted as the basis for peace.
 Up to Premiers. Although it makes clear the Amer icap government has not changed the position it took. when the original Adriatic agreement was made at Paris, the presidents note is not re- garded as the final chapter in the negotiations.
 The premiers in their reply to the original communication are said to have left the way open for agree ment alnog the lines previously ac-, cepted by the United States and with the receipt of the American note it will be for them to decide whether the ultimatum, previously States did not subgcribe will stand.
