Paris, April 23 (By The Associated
Press.) President Wilson's emphatic
declaration that he will not yield on
the Adriatic question has created the
most profound unsatinn in the peace
conference. He has thrown down the
gauntlet to the supporters of secret
treaties in a manner which almost took
away the breath of tha delegates who
have been urging compromises on
points covered by many secret docu
ments sad at variance with the Presi
dent's fourteen points.
President Wilson sweeping declara
tion, while aimed directly at tha Adri
atic problems, also reaches the Kiau
Chau controversy ia which Japan re
lies on secret agreements made with
Great Britain, France and Italy in 1917
to support her in her claim to con
cessions held by Germany in Shan
tung. f. Btatemeat la ifcalleage.
The peace delegates generally regard
President Wilson's statement as a chal
lenge which once for all will dispose
of the question whether secret docu
ments, of which many nations partici
pating ia the war were ignorant, are to
figure ia the peaee following an armis
tice in which all the allies pledged
gave no regard to secret treaties.
The Italian situation overshadowed
all other questions throughout the day
is Paris and was the sole subject of
conversation ia official and unoffiical
circles.
Whea it became known this morning
that tha Italian Premier, Vittorio Or
lando, was again absent from the ses
sion of the council of four, various ru
mors became current. Signor Orlando
remained at Italian headquarters, but
messengers carried him many notes.
Eada Idea of Compromiae.
Proposal and counter-proposals were
made between the members of th
British, French and Italian delegations
"nnd'numerous stories of compromise
were circulated. Thee were suddenly
discredited by th issuance of President
Wilson's statement ahowing that th
President waa not a party to the pro-
nosed concession which were chiefly
baaed on th supposition that Fiume
tould b given to Italy.
The idea which had bee a prevalent
la Pari, that tha Adriatic litnatioa was
gam of ehese, ia which th most skill
ful diplomat would win, regardless of
tha armistice conditions, was suddenly
banished by President Wilson action,
Nothing Be Drastic Expected.
Bine Monday it had been generally
known that h had prepared a state
ment which was presented on that day
to th estlr American delegation and
that th delegation had approved it.. But
ther was no euspieion that hla posi
tion ws so unalterably against secret
diplomacy.
Declaration by th members of th
America delegation that the President
would aot yield on the matter of Fium
were regarded by most Earopeaa diplo
matists, and especially by the Italians,
aa part of political gam, until today
nd even now many old achool diplo
matist K Mm unable to comprehend
- what ha happened.
A number, of th Italian delegation
said that tha delegate would aot leav
Pari tonight B did aot know what
action might b taken tomorrow.

WILSON DEFINES PRINCIPLES WHICH
HAKE IT OraCTICABLE
TO HAVE FIDHE UNDER
Bf the Associated Traw.)
Paris, April 23. In issuing bis official
statement on the Adriatic question,
President Wilson let it be known that
he desired once again to call attention
to the fact that there were certain well
dcltned principlea which have been ac
cepted by (he peoples of the world as
the basis for a lasting peace. The
United States delegation simply recalled
this in order that there should be no
deviation irora inese principles. m
mo icib vi luc auiivuieufc luuunai
In view of the capital importance
of the questions affected and in
order to throw all possible light
upon what is involved in their set
tlement, I hope that the following
statement will contribute to the
final formation of opinion and to a
satisfactory solution.
Whea Italy entered the war she
entered upon the basis of a definite
. private -understanding -with G rest
Britain and France, now known as
the pact of Lodon.
Since that time the whole face
of circumstances has been altered.
Many other powers, great and small,
have entered the struggle, with no
knowledge of that private under
standing. The Austro Hungarian empire,
then the enemy of Kurope and at
whose expense the pact of London
was to be kept in the event of vic
tory, has gone to pieces and no
longer exists. Not only that, hut
the several parts nf the empire, It is
agreed now by Italy ami all her
associates, are to be erected into
independent states and associated
ia a league of nations, aot with
those who were recently our enemies
but with Italy herself and the
powers that stood with Italy ia the
great war for liberty.
We are to establish their "liberty
as well as our own. They are to bs
among the smaller states whose in
terests are henceforth to be safe
guarded as scrupulously as the in
terest of the most powerful states.
The ar was ended, moreover, by
proposing to Germany an armistice
and peaee which should be founded
on eertain clearly defined princi
ples, which set up a new order of
right and justice.
Upon those principles the peace
with Germany has been conceived
not only, but formulated. Upon
those principles it will be executed.
We eannot ask the great body of
powers to propose and effect peace
with Austria and establish a new
basis of independence and right in
the states which originally consti
tuted the Austro-Bungarian Empire
and- in the states of th Balksn
group on principle of another kind.
We must apply the same principles
to th settlement of Europe in those
quarters that we have applied in
the peaee with Germany.
It was upon the explicit avowal
of those principle that th initia

Organized Propaganda Inaugu
rated To Destroy Postmas
ter General, He Contends
(Br th Associated Press.)
Washington, April 3. Postmaster
General Burleson, ia a statement issued
tonight asserted that an organized prop
aganda had been inaugurated in an ef
fort to destroy him and thereby to aid
in bringing about repeal of the tone
postal law increasing second-class rates.
Th statemeat'charged that mora than
a year ago n unnamed member of a
committee seeking repeal of th law
urged him to acquiesce and bluntly in
formed him, "We rained Postmaster
General Hitchcock and destroyed Mr.
Taft." Later, it ia said, a well knowa
publisher, also unnamed, promised that
Mr. Burleson would be made th most
popular man In th cabinet if he would
aid or acquiesce in the repeal and said,
but if von do not, I fear they will ruin
you."
Sparaed Offer. He Says.
' These offer were spurned Mr. Burl-
soa declared, and now he said h was
confronted by a ayitematie propaganda
of selfish interests who through repeal
of tha law would be bl to "resume
enjoyment of a postal subsidy ef over
70,000,000 per annum," even under th
ions law, he added, ther still would be
an anaual loss of more than 150,000,000
to be mad op ont ef th general public
This statement followed on given out
at. th Postmaster Department during
th day announcing that th Postmaster
General had directed that telegraph sys
tems suspend their regulation against
transmission of libelous matter, in so far
a matter relating to th Postmaster

tive for peace was taken. It is
upon them that the whole structure
of peace must rest.
If those principles are to be ad
hered to, Fiume must serve as the
outlet of th commerce, not of Italy,
but of the land to the north and
northeast of that port; Hungary,
Bohemia, Rumania, and th states
of tl(e new Jugo-Slav group. To as
sign Fiume to Italy would be to
create the feeling that we have de
liberately put tho port upon which
all those countries chiefly depend
for their access to the Mediterran
ean in the hands of a power, of
which it did not form an integral
part and whose sovereignty if set
up there, must inevitably seem for
eign, not domestic or identified with
the commercial and industrial life
of the regions which the port must
serve. It is for that reason, no
doubt, that Fiume wa: not included
., i W p--e4jfmdetr"btrtr ttrerr
definitely assigned to the Croatians.
And the reason why the line of
the pact of London swept about
many of the islands of the eastern
coast of the Adrintic and around
the portion of the Dalmatian coast
which . es most open to that sea
was not only that here and there
on those islands, and here and there
on that coast, there arc bodies of
people of Italian blood Rnd connec
tion hut also and no doubt chiefly,
because it wai felt that it waa neces
sary for Italy to have a foothold
amidst tho channels of the eastern
Adriatic in order that she might
make her own coasts s:ife against
the naval aggression of Austria
Hungary. But Austria-Hungary no longer
exists. It is proposed that th
fortifications which the Austrisn
government constructed there shall
be razed and permanently de
stroyed. It is psrt also of the new plan of
European order which centers in
the League of Nations.
Nations that the new states
erected there shall accept a! limita
tion of armaments, which puts ag
gression out of the question. There
can be no fear of the unfair treat
ment of groups of Italian people
there, been use adequate guarantees
will be given, under internstional
sanction, of the equal and equita
ble treatment of all racial or nat
ional minorities
In brief, very question asso
ciated with this settlement wears a
new aspect-a new aspect given it
by the very victory for right for
which Italy has made the lunrem
sacrifice of blood and treasure.
Italy- along with- th - four other
great powers, !ia become ons of
the chief trustees of the new order
which she has played so honorsble
a part in establishing.

FOR ITALY
HER CONTROL
her natural frontier are completely
restored, along th whole sweep if
the Alps from northwest to south
est to the very end of the austrisn
peninsula, including all the great
watershed withii. which Triest and
Pola lie, and all the fair regions
whose nature has turned towards
the great peninsula upon which the
historic life of the Latin people
had' been worked through centuries
of famous story ever since Rome
was first set upon her seven hills.
Her ancient unity is restored.
Her lines are extended to the great
walls which are natural defense.
It is within her choice to be sur
rounded by friends; to exhibit to
the newly liberated peoples across
the Adriatic that noblest quality of
greatness, magnanimity, friendly
generosity, the preference of justice
.i!i!UelII3L. --
The nations associated with her,
the nations that know nothing of
the pact of London or of any other
special understanding that lies at
the beginning of this great struggle,
Rnd who have made their supreme
sacrifice also in the interest, not of
national advantage or defense, but
of the settled peace of Ui world,
are now united with her older as
sociates in urging her to assume a
leadership which cannot be mistaken
in the new order of Europe.
America is Italy's friend. Her
people sre drawn, millions strong,
from Itnly's own fair countrysides.
She is linked in blood, ss well as in
affection, with the Italian people.
Such tics ran never be broken. And
America was privileged, by th.
generous commission of her asso
ciates la lb war, to initiate th
peaee w are about to consummate
to initiate it upon term which
she had herself formulated and in
which I was her spokesman.
The compulsion is upon her to
square every decision she takes a
part in with those principles. She
eaa do nothing else. She trusts
Italy, and in her trust believes that
Italy will ask nothing of her that
cannot he made unmistakably con
sistent with those sacred obliga
tions. The interests are not now in ques
tion, but th rights of peoples, of
ststes new and old, of liberated peo
ples and peoples whose rulers hsv
never accounted them worthy of a
right; above all, the right of the
world to peace and to such settle
ment of interests as shall make
peace secure.
These and these only ire the prin
ciples for which America has
fought. These and these only are
the principles upon which she can
consent to make peace. Only upon
these principles she hopes and
believes will the people of Italy ask
her to make peace.
MILITARY SYSTEM
Able Student of Civil Law

(Br the Associated Press.)
Washington, April 23. Th radical
difference in opinion that exists not
only in military circles but among law
yers as to the present system of military
justice waa brought out sharply today
before the committee of th American
Bar Association In the conflicting views
presented by Lieut. Col. Samuel T.
Ansell, the officer of the regular army
who is ehief assailant of th system,
and Colonel John Wigmore, temporary
officer and widely known as a student
of law in civil life, but the most aetive
defender of th present system ia the
absence of . Major ' General Crowder,

(Br Uw AMociatad Press.)
Italy has the verdict of the United
States government as regards her claims
in the Adriatic. She may not have her
aspirations for Fiume gratified, for that
would block in from the sea behind the
eoast of Dalmatia the new small inde
pendent nations which are to become
members of the League of Nations.
Litasi4eafc,WiU
dealing with the controversy over
Fiume has clearly defined to Italy the
stand of the United States in the pre in -1
es and thus, has brought to a climax
the crisis that has existed for many
days.
Conference Is Called.
With regard to the islands in the east
ern Adriatic anil that portion of the
Dalmation coast which lies most open
to the sea which Italy is demanding,
President Wilsr.. broadly states that
these are not now necessary to Italy to
make her ssfe Sfainst naval aggression
by Austria-Hungary, because Austria
Hungary no longer exists, and the for
tifications along the eoast arc to be per
manently destroyed. Also, th Presi
dent said, the new Statea are to accept
limitation of armaments which will
further put aggression out of the ques
tion and that equal and equitable treat
ment of alt racial or national minori
ties throughout thi region are to be
guaranteed under international sanc
tion.
President Wilson contends that if th
principle under which the initiative for
peace was taken are to be sdhsred to,
Fium must serve tha outlet for the
commerce "not only of Italy but of the
land to the north aad northeast of that
port, Hungary, Bohemia, Bumania, and
the States of the New Jugo-Slav group.
Premier Orlando, of Italy, immedi
ately called the Italian peace delegates
for a conference after the President's
note was issued to prepare a statement
to be addressed to the Italian people.
Later Vi.e-Admiral Thaon Di Revel,
former chief of the Italian naval staff,

(Br the Associated Prm.)
Washington, April 2.1. A quarter of
billion dollars has been subscribed
to 'the Victory Liberty Ioau and of
ficially reported through banks a d
federal reserve district headquarters to
the Treasu.j. This covers probably
only the first two days of the subscrip
tion period which opened Monday, and
does not includo the millions of pledges
on which subscribers are taking their
time to pay the initial installment.
Neither does it include officially re
corded subscription which have not
been tabulated by bank or which art
in th process of being reported to C't-
trict headquarters, o. compiled there.
Oaly tn of the twlev districts were
represented in figure given out touight
by tb T easur- th Kansas City and
Atlciita headquarters not having sub
mitted official reports. For these rea
sons officials were inclined to believe
that th actual subscriptions already
gathered by the millions of volunteer
loan workers amount to at least a half
billion dollars.
Neon Reports Represented.
The first complaints thst the Treas
ury's official reports do not fairly indi
cate th records of various communities,
reached here today. They were met
with the explanation that the figures
given out by the Treasury st night in
most ease were transmitted by district
managers about noon of that day. The
district managers also may report the
standing of some city as of the night
before, and this is reflected in the nat
ional headquarters review a day later
as a consequence.
The Treasury loan managers have
found it necessary to limit their tabula
tions of subscriptions to those reported
through channels of the federal reserve
banks, and these banks recognize only
subscription backed by initial pay
ments. For this reason officials said it
would behoove loan workers to urge
subscribers to mske this payment
promptly, so that the subscription may
b counted ia th community's and the
nation's totals.
Michigan Raisea Quota.
A telegram from Chicago tonight un
officially reported that Michigan had ob
tained its quots. The same telegram
aaid seventy-five Iowa counties had sub
scribed the totals allotted.
Ths exact total tabulated tonight was
$249,649,000, distributed as follows. Bos

Philadelphia, $19,258,150; Cleveland,

Minneapolis, $6,616,700; Dallas, $1,241,

An unofficial report from the Kansas
City district said that sales there to
talled $7,767,600.
Fifty-four towns and eitiea in New
England have reached their quotas. The
number of subscribers in this district ia
considered very Isrge, 12,413 subscribing
th $45,448,000 reported.
With fifteen per cent of the St. Louis
district quota subscribed tonight the
Indiana section of the district wss lead

Tennessee was second and Mississippi,

The Cleveland district reported that

A cablegram from .General Pershing
tonight said that aa officer had sailed

were put up on German territory.
Supplementary advices from Detroit,
which went over th top on -the . first

it is not hard to believe the stories of
