WILSON'S REPLY
READY TONIGHT
Answer to Latest Allied Note on Ad-
riatic Settlement May be Put
on Cables This
Evenina.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-President
Wilson's reply to the latest allied
note on the Adriatic settlement may
be ready for transmission on the
cables by tonight, officials at the white
house. said today.
A complete draft Of the commune
cation will be sent to the president for
his approval by Acting Secretary OF
State Polk TO-DAY.
While Wilson's reply was regarded
as his final word over the argument
in the plan formulated in January by
the allies for the disposition of the
eastern Adriatic coast, it was declar-
ed on high authority that the note does
not close the door, to further nego-
tiations.
An answer to Wilson's note there
fore is expected here.
It was believed in official circles in
Washington that withdrawal or re-
moval Of Gabrielle DAnnunZio from
Ffume would be followed Immediately
by a final adjustment of the Difficult
ties between Italy and Jngo-Slavia.
Officials here are earnestly hoping.
therefore, that Fiume will soon be rid
of D'Annunzio.
Officials believe. however. that
while D'Annunzio retains control of
Fiume, Premier Nitti will hesitate to
take any step which would be regard
ed as too cOnciliatOry.
This attitude of Nitti. it was said.
is due to the large nationalist ana
militarist following that DAnnunzio
has.
D'Annunzio. according to reports
reaching the United States, is losing
his ascendency in Fiume.
The Adriatic correspondence, be-
tween President Wilson and the al
lied premiers will be made public
within few days, 1t was learned
officially today.
Since the interchange of notes be-
gan, administration officials have
full publicity in the matter,
but release OF the several communi-
cations in Washington has been de-
ferred pending approval of the allied
officials.
