WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-President Wilson flatly denied today in a rormaI communication to the senate that he had any agreement or understanding with British officials regarding dispo- sition of the fleet of former German liners around which, since they were offered for sale by the shipping board, has ragged a controversy into which congress, courts and government agen- cies have been drawn.
 There is not, nor has there been, any agreement or understanding be- tween the president of the United States and officials of Great Britain concerning the sale of the ex-German vessels in possession of the United States" Mir Wilson, responding speci- fically to a resolution by Senator Brandegee, Republican, Connecticut, adopted by the senate, nor is there any agreement or understanding with respect to what disposition shall be made of these ships by the United States
 T believe the above information full ly answers the senate inquiry"
 Has Tentative Pact
 At the same time, however, and in order that the senate may be in pos session of all the information there is in any way relating to the vessels in question, the president transmitted a copy of hitherto unpublished tenta- tive agreement reached in Paris that Germany eventually would be credited by the reparations commission, should congress approve, with any surplus valuation of the ships in excess of merchant tonnage losses of the United States during the war In no case would title to the ships themselves pass from the United States, the agree ment provided.
 Before MT.

 The close committee vote of II to g. coming as a climax of three hour debate in executive session was regarded as indicative of the bitter fight to be madein the house wfTea the reorganization measure comes up. Opponents of universal train ing. desnite todav's defeat, confi- dentlv predicted they would win out when the nroposal reahces the house. The senate also must vote on the universal training question as its re- organization bill. now pending, in- cludes such provision.
 Opponents of universal training during debate in the committee aS clared reporting oft he proporal was useless because of the Democratic caucus having gone on record against it and with many Republicans, in- cluding Flor Leader Mnndell, openly aoainst the scheme. Opinion as to the country's reception of the plan varied with the sentiment of 1t: supporters and opponents.
 No details were decided on by the committee, this being referred to a subcommittee, the majority of whom orpose the rlau in principle. The committee refused to leave the uues- ton Of detatls to a commission Of nine. including three senators, three membors of the house. and three per sons appointed by the president, bt-- committee members indicated that the subcommittee might recommend such action be followed by the full commission.

 The Treaty COMPROMISE VOTE
 IS NOT IN SIGHT Round Table Member Says Lodge and Hitchcock
 Cause Delay

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The Ques- tion of party responsibility for the peace treaty deadlock was threshed over in militant fashion on the senate floor today with both the Republi- cans and the Democrats seeking to wash their hands of the senate-s fail ure to act and of any consequences in the political campaign.
 Although both sides professed an earnest desire to compromise and squabbled for the credit for past com promise effeorts, there was such a note of hopelessness in the discussion that the treaty's irreconcilable oppo- nents that party leaders told the op- posing party leaders they might as well put the question of ratification out of their minds and turn the sen ate's attention to the business of leg islation.
 Among other things, the debate brought out direct bipartisan confer ence, in which five Democrats and four Republicans sought unsuccessfully to work out an agreement and as to what transpired behind the closed doors of the conferences sessions.
 Hitchcock Hostile
 Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the Democratic leader. started the flare up by a speech denying charges that the Democrats wanted the treaty in the campaign. He asserted that his party had gone mine tenths of the way to a compromise and that the Republicans had stood solidly for acceptance of their own reservations, without the dotting of an I or the crossing of T."
 It.was the minority, he declared, who had instigated the bipartisan movement and who now had submitted two compromise article ten reserva- tions which many Republican senators believed were identical in substance with the Lodge reservation un J2at subject.
 Claiming for the Republicans in the initiation of the bipartisan conference, Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin, one of the mild reservation Republicans, charged that the Democratic leader had stood out against compromise so

Caillaux, Former Premier of France,

PARIS, Feb. 20-That he had never championed a policy of closer rela- tions with Germany, but one of Euro pean conciliation" and might have been guilty of imprudense ana impul- siveness but never of intelligence with the enemy, proved to be the opening defense of Joseph Caillaux, former premier, charged with reasonable dealings with the enemy, on the re- sumption of his trial today before the senate, sitting as & high court.
 The examination of M. CaillauT covered his trip to South America late in 1914 and early in 1915. The name of James MinottO, son in law of Louis F. Swift of Chicago, who was informed in the United States as an alien enemy in 1918, was frequently mentioned throughout the interrogations by Leon Bourgeois president of the senate. NJ. Caillaux in reply. claimed to have heen fooled by Minotto. as numerous others had been fooled. he said.

FLAT STATEMENT IF POSITION IF J. S. FORWARDED ID THE COUNCIL Officials Refuse to Make Public Discussion on
 Adriatic SAY SITUATION
 IS NOT STRAINED Iugo-Slavs Get Ultimatum From Powers as Decided
 At London

WASHINGTON, Feb 2O.-Presi- dent Wilson's reply to the entente premiers on the Adriatic question, probably will go forward tomorrow. Acting Secretary Polk continued to study it today and after it has been put in the usual diplomatic form and has been approved finally by the president it will be coded and put on the cables
 State department officials stin steadfastly refused to discuss the contents Of the document but feeling of satisfaction was notice able in administration circles and it was generally understood that Mir. Wilson had made an uneQuivocal statement of tho American govern ments position.
 While further exchanges on the subject are expected, it is believed that with the delivery of the presi- dents note by Am3assador Davis at London, the question will be been removed from the argumentatlve stage
 SlaVs Get Ultmatum
 Although the premiers have for werded to JugO-Slavia in the form of an ulIimatum the settlemeIV arrived at without the participation of the United States, it is said they have not closed the way to q return 10 the Paris agreement of December g to which the United States was party Tn the general belief here they have not overlooked suggest that the American government; point the way to the carrying out of an agreement which Italy holds tC De unacceptable.
 Situation Not Acute
 Officials here plainly do not regard the situation as a tall acute nor do they believe that condition will arise from the exchanges in which the United States will have to con slider whether it can become a party to the treaty of Versailles. The al- lied answer to the president seems to have clarified the atmosphere. cer- tainly to this extent.
 It was definitely settled today that the exchanges will not be made pub lie. at least by the American govern. ment, until after the presidents note has been delivered to the allies. Whether they will be givenout then will depend upon the wishes of the British. French and Italian govern ments.
 So far as the United States is con- cerned, thereis no desire to with hold the notes.

He declared he was introduced to Minotto by Edwin V. Morgan, the Am erican ambassador at Rio Janeiro.
 M. Caillaux disposed of Minotto by saying that he was one of the numer- ous spies who infested his trail while in South America, the German minis ter at Rio Janeiro, fearing the result of M. Caillaux's efforts. having re- quested Berlin to place 100000 marks at his disposal to have M. Caillaux shadowCd continually.
 Experts will tell you have not profited by this war; I am a poorer man now than I was in 1914" declared M.

' CAMP PA|GN TO BETTER B|SBEE
 ENDS TONIGHT
Today Offers Last Chance To Help Effort for Good
 Of the City

At 12 o'clock, midnight, tonight it will be definitely known whether the campaign for the support of the Y. M. c. A. was success. Precisely at that time the campaign comes to an end; the last pledge will be added to the pledges already received and the grand total will be posted. If this amounts to $30,000 all is well-if not, the campaign was failure for none of the pledges are valid unless the sum total is pledged.
 Not one of the campaign workers has suggested failure so far. It has not even entered into the thoughts of the business men of the district who have loaned their time and efforts throughout the week to this work. From the beginning they have taken the attitude that there is a certain goal to be reached; that to fall short of this goal would have the same ef- feet as not starting out to win. That attitude has not changed-at 12 o'clock midnight the grand total will be $30,000.
 There is much to be done in this last day of the campaign. however. Yesterday 130 pledges were received. amounting to $2174.50. A subscription of 5000 was received from a single in- dividual. This brings the total to date

PUT THEIR WITS TO WORK
Spanish Post Office Clerks Did Really
creditabIe Job In Solving Rebus
on Envelope.

A curiously addressed letter passed
through the post office at Madrid,
which was deciphered and correctly
delivered, notwithstanding all difficult
ties, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The address was q perfect rebus. At
the left hand side was the figure Of a
lady; 1t was clear, therefore, to which
sex the recipient should belong. Over
the lady's head the sun was rising !;
hence her name was inferred to be
Aurora. For her surname stood hill,
with a castle at it's foot, which gives
us "MOntes CASTILLO"
Next comes the town, for which the
plan of city was drawn, on which the
Alhambra was legible. This indicated
Granada; but in order to leave no
doubt possible, a pomegranate was
drawn beside the plan. To complete
the address a number was indicated in
one of the streets of the city plan.
The postal authorities took three
days to study this curiosity and then
triumphantly delivered the letter to
"Senorita Aurora Monies y CASTILLO,
Azacayas, No. 20. Granada" and so far
from censuring the sender, they had
the envelope photographed and copy
printed i'm the Madrid newspapers, as a
proof of the intelligence of the depart
ment.
