ih undertak'ng to dispose of the Ardi

“certalning the views of the A-uerican
goverfment; the statements of the
French and British prime ministers
of January 23; President Wilson's
protest note of February 10, in which
he threatened to withdraw the Gerfl
man treaty from the Senate if the
British-French attitude was persisted
in: the reply of the French and Brit
ish prime min’sters of February 17,
and President Wilson’'s note of Feb-
Tuary 24, which brings the corres
pondence up to date. The whole
correspondence makes about 12,500
words.
APPEALS TO PEOPLE.
' Probably a better construction of
the latest note of the United States
than the official construction that in
it “the United States stands pat,”
would be that in it President Wil
son again attemptS to appeal to the
peoples of Europe gver the heads of
the'r premiers.. The President points
out that the proposed allied settle
ment is immoral and contravenes the
principles upon which America en-‘
tered the war and has sought to es-!
tablish world peace. He declares his
belief thatunjust settlement can only!
be provocative of future wars and
he makes an appeal that no such un
‘wise step be taken.
It would appear to be his hope that
public sent'ment in Great Britain and{
France, even more than his own
persuasion, may lead the British and‘
French premiers to reverse them-‘
selves to proposals the United States
will sanetion. |
’ No one who reads the correspond
‘ence will fail to note the striking con
trast.between the tone of the Presi
dent’s protest note of February 10
and.h's latest reply to the allied gov
ernments. In his protest note of Feb
ruary 10, the President spoke with
great clarity and determination. He
said: |
JABS AT ITALY. ‘
“This government can not accept
a settlement, the terms of which haye
been admitted to be unwise and un
just, but which it is proposed to grant
to Italy in view of her persistent re
fusal to accept any wise and just
solution.” ‘
And then he made his threat to.
comsider the withdrawal of the treaty
with Germany and the agreement be
tween the United States and France
if it did “not appear feasible to se
cure acceptance of the just and gen.
erous concessions offered by the
British, French and American gov
ernments to Italy in the joint memo
randum of those powers of December
9, 1919, which the President has al
ready clearly stated to be the max
imum concession’the government of
the United States can offer.”
Great Britain and France in their
reply of Februdry 17, set forth that
the President in his protest note of
February 10, evidently had written
without knowledge of new develop
ments which had made the carry
ing out of the proposal of December
9, which he insisted upon, impracti
cable. The British and French
premiers ‘n . their reply said:
CONDITIONS CHANGED.,
“The proposal of December 9 has
fallen because nobody now wants to
sat up the artificial free state of
ume.~ The proposal of January 20
is objected to by the United States,
which had no representative at the
conference and which can mot there
fore be in close touch with the change
of opinion and circumstances which
have taken place since its plenipo
tentiaries returned to America. They
( he British and French prime min
{sters) can not help feeling a large
part of the misunderstanding is at
tributable to the difficulty of reaching
a common understanding. In such
circumstances how does the United
States government, which, to the re
gret of the allis, still has not plen
{potentiaries at the conference, pro
pose this d spute, which prevents the
reconstruction and threatens the
peace of Southwestern Europe, and
whose settlement is urgently re
quired, should ever be closed?”
While insisting that, in the event
no amicble arrangement between Italy
and Jugo-Slavia could be reached,
they have no alternative but to ap
ply the treaty of London to the sit
untion, the British and French prime
ministers said:
“The governments of France and
Great Britain view with great con
sternation the threat of the United
Stated government to wihdraw from
the comity of nations because it does
not Agreé with the precise terms ot
the Adelatic settlement.”
MINOR AFFAIR, THEY SAY.
Contimitng, they say: “The gove
ernments of France and Great Brit
nift thpgfore earnestly trust that
whntever the final view of the United
Stntes government as to the Adriatic
gottlement may be, they will not
wrock the whole machinery of deal
ng Awith intepnational disputes by
withdrafving from the treaty of 1919
hoenansg thelr view is not adopted in
this particular case, 9% v T
rovernments of France and Great
liritain can not believe it is the pur
pose of the American people to take
, step so farreaching and terrible 1n
i*4 effects on a ground which has the
appearsnce of being so inadequate’
The London comment on the Presi.
dent's latest reply to the prime min
istors of Great Britaln and France
was that it was “conelliatory.” It
certainly g far less drau‘uc in tone
than the plt)g..st note of February 10,

Wilson. The impression prevails here
that the language of the note of Féb
ruary 24 piob&b.ly, is_largel® the lan
guage of Acting Secretary of State
Polk. It séems to be clear from the
latest note that the President, when
he wrote his protest note of Feb
ruary 10, did not know Jugo-Slavia
as well as Italy had expressed dis
satisfaction with the settlements pro.
posed in his memorandum of Decem
bur 9. The latest note said:
THE LATEST NOTE.
.~ “The President notes the objection
of the Italians and Jugo-Slavs were
made the basis for discarding the
project of the free state of Fiume.
It would seem to follow, therefore,
that the joint consent of these two
powers should have been required for
the substitute project. The consent
of Italy has been obtained. He does
not find, however, the Jugo-Slavs
have also expressed their willingness
to accept the substitate plan. Are
they to be required now to accept
a proposal which is more unsatisfac
tory because they have raised objm.--l
tions to the solution opposed by the,
British, French and American gov-l
ernments in the memorandum of De
cember 97 I
~ “The President would of course
make no objection to a settlement
mutually agreeable to Italy and Jugo-
Slavia regarding their common
frontier in the Fiume region, pro
vided such an agreement is not made
on the basis of compensations else
where at the expense of nath!mls ot
}a third power. His willingness to ac
cept such a propesed joint agreement
of Italy and Jugo-Slavia is based on
‘the fact that only their own pationals
are involved. In consequence, the
results of direct negotiation of the
two interested powers would fall
within the scope of the principle of
self-determination. Failing im this
both parties should be willing tl& ac
cept a decision of the governments
of Great Britain, France and the
United States.”
THERE'S WAY OUT,
This “guggestion of an agreement
between Italy apgd Jugo-Slavia is be
lieved here to be the “way out” of
the diplomatic efitanglement. Un
doubtedly Italy and Jugo-Slavia will
be more urgently pressed than ever
to come to a mutual understanding
and thus end complications hetween“
the allies and the United tSates.
The President says in his latest
note with respect to the application
of the treaty of London to the git
uation, “the American government
must hesitate to speak with assur
ance since it I 8 a matter in which
the French and British governments
can alone judge their obligations and
determine their policies.” |
I But the President points out that in
view of understandings already!
reached the application of the treaty
of London to the situation would only
serye to muddle it up by imposing
lcondl‘.lons generally admitted to be
unwise and unjust. In concluding his
latest note the President does not
withdraw his threat to recall t.ho|
peace treaty If an improper settle
ment of the Fiume controversy is
made, but he does not repeat it The‘
note concludes as follows: ‘
“The President asks that the prime
ministers of France, Great Britain
and Italy will read his determination
in the Adriatic matter in the light
of these principles and settlements
and will realize that standing upcm‘
such a foundation of principle he
must of necessity maintain the posi-

Senators Call
Treatjgpmrf, erences ]
| By J. BART CAMPBELL,
staff Correspondent of the |. N. S.
| WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—Confer
ences of Senate leaders were hastily
caleld today, following publication of
the exchange of notes between Pres
ident Wilson and the allied premiers
ove~ the Adriatic situation, to deter
‘mine the effect of the notes on the
treaty situation in the Senate
The response of the Britjsh and
French premiers in their note of Feb
ruarv 17 that they “View with con
sternation™ the threat of the with
drawal of the United States from the
League of Nations and “earnestly
trust that whatevr the final view of,
the United States government as to
the Adriatic settlement may be they
will not wreck the whole mac’inery
for dealing with international dis
putes by withdrawing from the
treaties of 1919, because their view is
not adopted in this particular case”
was construed by senaters as fresh
evidence the British and French gov
¢rnments are anxious to get the
American people into the leazue,
It was agreed the publicity given
to the exchange of notes had thrown
the trcaty situation up in the air.
Doubt was expressed by mome sen
ators as tc whether it would be worth
while for the Senate to proceed withi
its consideration of the treaty while
the outcome of the Adriatic crisis
remained in doubt.

Five Powerful Armies of the
Soviet Are Resting
Under Arms,
By FLOYD MACGRIFF,
Staff Correspondent of the |. N. S.
' "LONDON, . Feb. 27.—With the
goviet government nearer formal
recognition by the allies than at any
other time since it was set up by
Nioolai Lenin and Leon Trotzky iln
the summer of 1917, warfare on a big
scale has ceased in Russia. :
The soviet is maintaining five
powerful armies, but the scattered
fighting now reported consists mainly
of patrol encounters or clashes be
tween isolated factions of the bol
sheviki and the anti-red Russians,
A truce reigns throughout Northern
Russia, where the soviet is now in
control of all the Archangel and
Murmansk distriets. A great bol
shevik army has been concentrated
near the Polish frontier, but there
are indications Poland and Moscow
will soon make peace upon terms
approved by the allies.
ROUMANIA THREATENED. |
- Another bolshevik army has been
concentrated in Bessarabia and has
been threatening Roumania with in
vasion, but belief is expressed the
allied suggestion that the states bor
'dering on Russia make immediate
peace with the Moscow soviet will
%hold up offensive operations in that
theater. Patrol skrmishes have been
‘reported from the Dneister River
line, where the Roumanians have
l prepared fortifications,
The only war zone where fighting
of any real importance has been re
ported recently is between the Sea
of Azov and the Caspian Sea, where
the scattered remnants of General
l‘Denikln's old army are now stationed.
The soviet forces have been extend
| ing their area of occupation and
clafm to have taken the important
city of Bostov, on the Don.
A lull exists upon the Siberian
front, but the bolsheviki have large
forces on the Chinese frontier, ac
cording to official reports to tlwe
British war office.

Alfred Thomas Says Collection of
Evidence in Russia Is

already begun to collect evidence on
Ithe internal situation in soviet Rus

i!:nw-rnmvnl at Moscow, it was an
inuun('(-\i toady by Albert Thomas
former Soclalist member of the eabi.
net and French representative on the
I international labor organization form

Thomas revealed this has been quietly
gUlng on some time, .
“One of the reasons for the tur
moil in the countries of Western
Europe, and one of the causes of the
fascination of bolshevism to many
|rfiimls, is the fact that we are ut
lfnrly in the dark as to what it means,”
said M. Thomas.
l . “The labor bureau, of its own ini

ing evidence and information from
Russia for some time, meanwhile in
quiring into the moral and material
status of%the Russian workers.
“T'o insure a return to moral stabil

i.&:h-nuld know what is golng on. The
lworld is thirsting for the truth.
Nothing is so produective of mischief
as ignorance and obscurity.

to be present at the Atlanta Theater last
night, you were given no rearson to blush
for either the manner of the piece set forth |
for you or for its merits, But you may
well have blushed for the lack of hospi
tality and consideration for player folk,
of an Atlanta audience in its most unre- |
spongive Imood.
Whoather it was the weather or the flu,
or the sbecr spirit es perverseness, thero |
I no way of finding out; but it is certain |
a more frigid assembly of playgoers vmvor(
did its best to speil a clever show They |
did succeed in spoliling it for themselves
they deprived themselyes of encore u{(»l‘f

having made up their minds never to |

ward the end of the play, that the nlm.ul—}

in many spots was somcthing more than
competent—alone prevented them from |
spoiling the performance itself. The act- |

‘At Strand
{ Big Tom Mix has certainly added to

{lanta. withi his newest feature produc

| all this week at the Strand. In this pic
iuzz'u Mr. Mix plays two roles, and intro
duces some of the finest dramatic work
gmmn on the screen in months. Those who
| think that Tom Mix is essentially a West
lvrn star will he agreeably surprised when
they see “The HReud.” Dainty little Col
bh-vn Moore is proving a delight in her

The piece itself |8 altogether charming
and reminiscent of "Oh, Boy!" in atmos
phere and treatment—quite a hit too
reminiscent in the music, which s its
weakest point. The story is pleasing and
clever, the wit is quaint and original—
and the lyrics are brilliant,
Can it be that “Oh! Lady, Lady!” which
does not lack spice, is still much too de
cent and natural to tickle the normmal
musical couedy palate, accustomed to
braying humor and extravaganza atmos
phere, with neither characterization nor
plot ?
These latter qualities abe of a lignt
theme In “Oh! Lady, Lady!” but they are
there in abundance, and the difference
necessitates a guiet and natural manner
of performance which the unappreciative
may consider a lack of life
Youth, up-to-dateness, artistry and re<
fiiement are the Keynotes of “Oh? Lady,
Lady!""

Defendant Charged With Kill
ing F. J. Hodges in Macon,
on Stand for Hour.
o ; -
MACON, Ga., Feb. 27.—The fate of
H. Lee Cross, who went to . trial
Tuesday in the Superior Court for
the murder of Frank J. Hodges, real
cstate man, last September, went to
the jury shortly before noon today.
The closing argument was made by
Solicitor C. H. Garrett, who was as
sisted by, Judge John P. Ross, who
made YH¢ opening argument to the
jury last night. He was followed by
attorney R. 1.. Berner for the de
fense,, Two more powerful argu
ments were never heard here. When
court opened this morning, Attorney
W, A. McClellan for the defense, be
2an his argument, followed by the
solicitor.
Cross was on the stand yesterday
afternoon nearly an hour. He told
the jury of his business connections
with Hedges, and why he fired three
bullets into. Hodges stomach. ' His
statement featured the trial. \
He said he was forced to sell his
interest in the business to Hodges
for a song and that Hodges gave him
notes chiefly as pav..ents. He said
he loaned Hodges sioo worth of Lib
erty bonds and received in return for
the bonds and interest in the busi
ness only $625,
' The note for $27.50 over which
they argued and which led to the
shooting, was the first note to fail
dud Cross said. Hodges, he said, had
not paid .it.and.-the bank that had
the paper had paid it out of Cross’
bank account.
| I met Hodges und told him the
note was past due and asked him
what settlement he was going to
make " said Cross. “Hodges became
angry and said he would settle it
then. He grabbed me around the
head and rushed me down the strect.
1 attempted to free myself of the
hold. I nulled my. pistol and shot at
his hip, not intending to kill him, but
to foree—him-to-release me. 1 fired
anothel., Shgt fore he _ turned me
:xh)um,ft?r?fl“tg;‘: the tHird shot be
fore 1 really realized 4 was free from
his grip.”
A A YAT
vote was urged at that time, but the
committee was voted auhority to de
clare a strike when it foud Turther
progress impossible.
| The committee returned to the ne
gotiations, which they conducted witnn
'P. 8. Arkwright, president of tlie
companyy apd Mr. Atkinson, and a
satisfactery =settlement was -reached
lon 811 ‘gmflus but that of wage,
Throughout, it is understood, the men
have been dissatisfied and the strike
element has grown in power.
Neither of the arbiters would give
any indieation Friday morning tha!
a compromise was probahle. It was
hkinted by Mr. Bell, however, that fur
ther developments might come during
the day. Lo
