LONG CONTROVERSY.
(Speci laUnited Press Wire. }


Paris, Feb. 17.-The crisis in in
ternational circles due to President
Wilson's note to the allies on the
Fiume and Adriatic questions fol-
lows long controversy in the ef-
forts to settle the territorial dispute
in the Adriatic between Italy and
Jugo-Slavia. .r.......
When Italy entered the war on the
side of the allies she obtained the
secret pact Of London granting her
extensive concessions in the Adri-
attic in return for military assistance.
At the peace conference, however,
President Wilson insisted the United
States could not recognize this agree
ment and secured a tentative agree
ment giving greater concessions to
Jugo-Slavia.
Italy bitterly resented this inter-
ference by President Wilson and at
the recent conference of allied lead
ers in Paris, effected the so-called
compromise" which was sent to
Belgrade.
Premier Mil1erand stated today
that the entente's reply to President
Wilson, in answer to his note threat
ening the withdrawal of the United
States from the European situation
unless the American attitude on the
Adriatic question was respected.
will be submitted to the president
through the American ambassadors
in London and Paris. Millerand
said.
"While it is necessary to main
tain secrecy regarding the contents
of this document until President
Wilson receives it, nevertheless it
may be stated further delay before
we reach solution Of the situation
is inevitable"

appointments We're merely subter-
fuge employed by the board of super
visors in order to increase the salaries
of these officials beyond that contem-
plated by the law; and,
Whereas, it is the sense of this
meeting that in these times of alarm
ingly high taxes and general depres-
sion of markets for products raised in
this county, that concerted effort
should be made to keep the rate of
taxation to a minimum without i'm
pairing efficiency; and,
Whereas, the grand jury in its re-
port did recommend that the employ
ment of this subterfuge be discontin-
ued;
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that
this meeting does approve of the rec
ommendation of the Imperial county
grand jury and does demand that the
board of supervisors of Imperial coun-

licity commission" and revoke the ap-
pointments of the county clerk, county
