forwarded to Washington.
1t is understood the communication

way this may be done.
While reports eminated from Paris
to the effect that the council modify
and soften the tone of the first draft
of this reply to Mr.. Wilson are denied,
it Is said the message handed to AM
bassador John w. Davis for trans
mission is not identical to the one
agreed upon by Premier Lloyd George
and Millerand at their first meeting
subsequent to the arrival of the
American Presidents memorandum.

rfatic question informed the Presi-
dent that the circumstances surround
ed the proposals In January (When
Premier Lloyd George, Nitti and

reached an agreement) were slch that
they could not be ignored. and that
the council was obliged perforce to
take decisions in the voluntary abb
sence of an American representative.
The reply also remarks, says the
Daily Mail. that the more effective
proposals of December would be vali-
dated, IL the President would indi-
cate how they were to be carried out.

Importance of Understanding
By The Associated Press.


LONDON, t'eb. 1S:-The allied
reply to President Wilson's note on
the Adriatic situation having been
dispatched the Adriatic question was
not a topic of discussion In the SUI,
preme council today, SO far as could
be learned. Confirmation was given,
however, of the statement made In
Washington that President Wilson'S
memorandum informed the Allies
that if they proceeded with their
Adriatic plan without the consent OF
the United States President Wilson
might feel constrained to withdraw
the Treaty of Versailles from the
senate and also refrain from giving
effect to the agreement entered into
between France and the United
States.
Sir Edward Carson. the Ulster
leader. asked in the House of Com
mons today whether II was IA fact
that a harsh and uncompromising, re-
President Wilson's Adriatic dispatch
and whether 1t has consequently
been changed as the result of repre-
sentation by Viscount Grey, ambassa-
dor to the United States, Lord Rob-
ert Cecil and Austen Chamberlain,
chancellor of the exchequer.
Andrew Bonar Law, the govern
ment spokesman. replied that there
was not a shadow of foundation for
such q suggestion.
Indeed" Mr.. Bonar Law said Il
think 1t hardly necessary to say that
there was not single representative
of any of the Allied powers at the
conference who does not recognize
the supreme importance Of a good
understanding with the government
and people of the United States"
