Draft Reply 10 Wilson
ON JUGO- SLAvIa ISSUE
Situation Not Changed, Paris
Says, by Presidents Seem

By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press,
PARIS, Feb. 16-Prompt rejection
of President Wilson's objections to
compromise agreement by which
England, France and Italy hoped to
settle with Jugo-Slavia questions rel
alive to the future status Of the east
ern coast of the Adriatic, is reported
in the Echo d'Paris.
Premiers Lloyd George and Mile
and drafted the reply to the Ameri-
can chief executive and insisted
Jugo-Slavia must agree TO the COM
promise with the alternative of see
ing the treaty of London become
operative, 1t is said.
AT the same time the premieps re-
ply was sent to Washington the for
eisn minister of JugO-Slavia was no.
titled the viewpoint of the British
and French governments had not
been altered by the seemingly un-
suspected action of Mr.. Wilson.
Contents of the Wilson note have
not been made public here. He Is
said, however, to have given intima-
ton the United States would find 1t
impossible to continue to concern it
self in European affairs IL the allies
proceeded to settlement of the Adrt-
attic problem without consulting tire
United States. 1t is said the Presi-
dent entered serious objection to the
ultimatum sent to the Belgrade COY
eminent January 90, and declared it
differed from the program framed by
Premiers Lloyd George and Clemen-
coau with the assistance OF the Am

Connected with the situation result
ing with the Wilson note a cabinet
crisis has arisen at Belgrade. The
ministry led by Premier Davidovitch
resigned yesterday, announcements
stating this step was the sequel or
the refusal of Prince Regent Alcxan-
der to dissolve the present provisions

ton OF q constituent assembly.
1t is probable this situation win
still further delay settlements of the
