MR WILSON’S NOTES. (Received this day at 8 a.pi.) PARIS February 16

President Wilson has forwarded Notes to the chief Allied Powers criticising the Supreme Council’s method of dealing with the Jugoslavs, adding “The United Strifes cannot continue to interest herself in European affairs if the Allies seek to settle the Adriatic questions without consulting the United States,

AMERICAN COMMENT. (Received This Day at 8 a.m.) NEW YORK, February 16

The New York Times Washington correspondent states there is considerable comment on the report from Paris that President Wilson intimated to the Allies if the United States were not consulted in the settlement of the Adriatic question, flip United States will find it impossible to concern herself in European alfalfa. The question raised is whether this is an implied threat. Mr Wilson may refuse to deposit- the United States ratification of the Treaty even should the Senate ratify the pact if the Adriatic question is settled without Mr Wilson’s consent. It is also pointed out it may only mean that President refuses to participate only in the pending European settlement, in such questions as Turkish and Hungarian. Official Washington is meanwhile eagerly awaiting Mr Wilson’s own in. terpretation of his intimations to the •Allies.
