Rome, Feb. 17.-President wilson's
sudden reentry into European politics
stupef1es Italy. His telegram to the
Peace Conference concerning the Adri-
attic question. coupled with his virtual
dismissal Of Secretary Lansing, is con-
sidered here as disconcerting and in
explicable. The italian newspapers
show evidence OF trying to treat his
action with all fairness, but a note of
resentment is apparent in their COM
ment.
The Adriatic question, they say,
which has kept Italy in a state OF
dangerous spiritual upheaval for so
long. was nearing the fairest possible
solution when President Wilson ap-
peared on the scene and tried to sroil
1t all. Several of them say in effect:
III, the President of the United States
wishes to reenter European politics why
does he not express an opinion on resum-
ing relations with Russia. the Turkish
problem and the extradition Of the for
mer Kaiser? The difference between the
compromise acceptable to Italy, France
and Great Britain ana the Wilson line
amounts to only few square miles. and
absolutely is insignificant compared to
Shantung and the Saar Valley. which he
comedies to other nations. What has
Italy done to deserve this treatment?
Why does he insist upon imposing his
will on Europe when he could not i'm
pose II upon his own people?"
These are the questions which the peo-
pie as we'll as the newspapers are asking.
but Italy's faith in the American people
is increasing every day.

Face New OrIentatIon.
We are faced with new Orienta-
ton OF our country to word prob
lens. We face Europe still at war;
still amid social revolutions; some Of
its people still Stacking on production;
millions starving: and therefore the
safety OF its civilization is stjll hanging
by slender thread. Every wind that
blows carries to our shores an infec-
ton Of social disease from this great
ferment; every CONFUSION there has
an economic reaction upon our own
people. II we needed further proof Of
the interdependence Of the world we
have II to-day in the practical block,
ade of Our export market The world
is asking for us to ratify long delayed
peace in the hope that such confidence
will be restored as will enable her to
reconstruct her economic life. We
are to-day contemplating maintenance
Of an enlarged army and navy in pre-
paredness for further upheavals in the
world and failing to even provide some
insurance against war by a league to
promote peace.
"Out Of the strain OF war weak
nesses have become even more evident
in our administrative organization in our
legislative machinery. Our Federal Gov
errment is still overcentrauzed, for Te
have upon the hands of our Government
enormous industrial activities which
have yet to be demoDilized. We are
swamped with debt and burdened with
taxation. Credit is wofully inflated,
speculation and waste are rampant:
Cur cwn productivity is decreasing.
Our Industrial population Is crying for
remedies for the increasing cost Of liv-
ing and aspiring to better conditions Of
life and labor. But beyond all this,
great hopes ana aspirations are abroad;
great moral and social forces have been
stimulated by the war and will not be
quieted by the ratification Of peace.
These are but part OF the prob
lerls with which we must deal I have

LONDON. Feb. IA polite explana-
ton OF the reasons Of the Supreme
Council OF the Peace Conference for
arriving at their decision on the Adri-
attic problem. but in which the position
OF the council was not in the least
modified, was despatched tonight tc
President Wilson through John W
Davis. American Ambassador.
II was stated officially that the char
acter Of the note was unchanged since
it was first drafted last Saturday
The report in Paris that Viscount
Grey and Austen Chamberlain. Chan
cel.or OF the Exchequer, had appealed
for a modification OF the note was de-
MED specifically.
Neither of these gentlemen attended
the meetings Of the Supreme Council
neither did the council receive any
communication on the note from them
directly or indirectly" it was officially
said.
Deep Concern Illustrated.
!, Londoil, ral IA coming to believe
that the excitement over President
wilson's intervention in the Adriatie
problem is a tempest in teapot
Nevertheless the case was illustrativ,
of the deep concern in most important
quarters here over the possibility of a
split with America.
Whether or not Viscount Grey and
Mr.. Chamberlain interviewed to soften
the Supreme Councils reply to President
Wilson's note, at least II is we'll known
here that they, with Wyckham Steed,
editor OF the Times. representing Lord
Northcliffe, we're in a conference yester-
day and were authoritatively reported
TO be determined to unite in opposition
to Premier Lloyd George unless they
were assured that America would not be
driven out Of the conference or out Of
the Adriatic settlement.
FiuIne in this sense, thus becomes not
a question Of the settlement Of the Adri-
attic dispute but a symbol Of continued
allied unity. under which 1t is expected
that ultimately the treaty will be re-
formed.
Every effort was made here to-day
to have 1t appear that the note from
President Wilson was merely a con-
tinuance Of the negotiations which be-
gun In Paris and part OF which was
the agreement signed by Frank l.. Polk
In Paris last December. This concord
was laid down on lines which the United
States. England and France agreed to
work on in an effort to settle the Adri-
attic imbroglio. The memorandum
drawn up, It was asserted. was In exact
accord with the offer Of settlement then
made to Italy and Jugo- -Slayia-
The position OF the Supreme Council
now is that in view Of the fact that
the proposed settlement was rejected by
both Italy and Jugo-Slavia the council
was at liberty to draw UP a fresh pro-
posai.
The Sun and the New York herald., 1920-02-18
Position of Council.

The members OF the council take the
position that they would have been glad
had the United States participated In
this work: that any American commit
merits contained in the memorandum OF
last December were absolved by the
total eclipse and the elimination Of the
scheme. Whether or not the United
States participates in the present pro-
posed settlement. which is regarded as
the only settlement which presents it
self now. the council sincerely hopes
that President Wilson will accept-o-
permit-its execution.
This, Il was said in we'll informed
circles. probably was the summary of
the note which was tonight forwarded
to the President. Hovsver. whether or
not II does represent the character OF the
note actually despatched could not De
authoritatIvely learned. as both the char
acter and the text of the Prenlers note
are being carefully guarded. II was
stated that II would not be published. by
the Peace Conference. II will be left to
Mr.. Wilson to make public its text and
also that Of his own communication to
the Council.
On the other hand, the foregoing sum-
mary, II IL might be called such. repre-

The only doubtful element admitted

FINE RECORD

Mayor Elmer F. Smith and the council that has worked with him during the past year have reason to be proud of the record made by their administration of city affairs.
 They pilotcd thc civic ship through the year safely and passed over the shoals of municipal hard times m fine manner The cNpeudi,urcs for the city were kept down ,o tbc very lowest point and more money was handed over for the coming year than was ou hand when they took office.
 While uo extensive work of amy nature was undertaken. public utilities are in a uu shape ud no very extensive repair work win have Go be done this year
 Wtbu, doubt. mot only Mayor Smith but tlc other members of the council de- voted many hours of their time to the prob- Icms of city government. Their reward win bc in tbc lac. that they have performed one of the things that it was predicted would be- impossible to do. The idea was freely eN- pressed year ago that no body of men could bring thc city of Douglas through the past year without getting into debt. Pes >m.sr~ predicted that it would be mpos- ~,b.c ro collect taxes and that as far as be- meac.rv was concerned, Douglas was done .ur. These gentlemen accomplished the seemingly impossible.
