ALLIES ARE SCORED
BY PRESIDENT WILSON
Declares the United States Double
Crossed by Premiers-Does Not
Mince Words.

Washington, March 8.-President
Wilson's reply to the allies in the FL
ume controversy, as already forecast,
is an announcement of his determine
ton to stand by the agreement of De-
cember 9, which was entered into by
the United States, Great Britain and
France.
The state department made PUBIC
the text of the note and 1t is believed
another reply viii be Forthcoming from
the British and French premiers, chief
ly because the president explains he
will not sanction any partitiOning of
Albania, even though such step might
bring an agreement between Italy and
Jugo-Slavia.
The president expresses resentment
over the intention of the British and
French to withdraw the agreement OF
December and proceed on new
basis. He holds that this agreement
is "the basis of reference representing
the combined opinion of these govern
ments."
The president takes the view that
if the December 8 memorandum were
put aside the allies would have an ex-
cuse for reviving the pact of London,
which was drawn up in secrecy during
the war, and he is unalterably opposed
to this.
No words are minced by the presi-
dent in expressing his antagonism to-
ward the pact of London. He says
bluntly he is unable to find in the lex
igencies of military strategy suffi-
cient warrant for exercising such Sc
crecy with the United States, gov
eminent which was intimately associ-
ated in the task of defending human
freedom and which was being called
upon for unlimited assistance and un-
told treasure.

SOUNDS WILSON ON TURKEY
Premier MIIerand Notifies U. S. Elk

in the East.

Paris, March 10.-Premier Millerand

and England and Italy no doubt have
initiated him-to communicate to
communicate to President Wilson gen
eral decisions reached relative TO Tur-
key by the supreme allied council and
to ask his opinion, says 'Pertinax,"
political editor Of the Echo de Paris.
"This was done by way of precau-
ton In view of Mr.. Wilson's veto of
the Turkish settlement, which Wash
ington dispatches foreshadowed," he
continues. Hope is still entertained,
however, that America viii shoulder
her part of the oriental burden" Pre-
mier Lloyd George of Great Britain
proposed on Friday, says 'Pertinax,"
grand theatrical demonstration at
Constantinople-the occupation of the
war ministry, the arrest of statesmen
working against the allies and the
substitution of q moderate concilitary
cabinet for the existing semi-national-
list ministry" He says the dismissal
of Mustapha Renal would also be part
of the British premier's program.
