ROTE HOUSES ITALY
New Crisis Develops as Re
sult of U. S. Action.
COUNCIL NOTE DUE TODAY
Suggestion That America Might
Withdraw From Versailles Com-'
pact Canses Alarm,
jLOXDON. Feb. 17. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Tbe American embas
sy is engaged tonight In coding- and
forwarding to Washington the reply
of the supreme council to President
Wilson Adriatic note, which will be
in the hands of the Washington gov
ernment tomorrow.
The council made it known that it
does not propose to make public the
correspondence, so that the question
of whether the text of tbe notes will
be given to the world rests with
President Wilson.
Since the main fact are public
property, namely that the president
strongly objects to the solution of the
Italian-Jugo-Slav problem by the ap- i
plication of the treaty of London
thereto, and objects so strongly as to
contemplate America's withdrawal
from the Versailles compact as i
possibility, and that the council ob
iecta to the reopening of the ques
tion, the undecided point is whether
the arguments exchanged shall be
published while the controversy is
hot on the anvil.
Another Surprise Sprang.
The statement from Washington
confirming the first reports that the
president had Intimated that rejec
tion of his policy might be followed
by diplomatic reprisals, furnished an
other surprise to the politicians and
the public, who outside of a small,
but important circle, which meets
twice daily in Downing street and the
advisers in the confidence of this
group, experienced the greater sur
prise because it came close on the
heels of other Washington messages
Intimating that only American retire
ment from its part in policing the
Adriatic was intended.
The council issued an emphatic de
nial on its own behalf of French
newspaper reports that it was per
suaded to modify and soften the first
draft of the note to President Wilson
by intervention exercised by Viscount
Grey, Lord Robert Cecil and Austen
Chamberlain, chancellor of the ex
chequer. The susceptibilities of the
non-British members of the council
formed one of the factors behind this
denial, because the story was calcu
lated to give the impression on the
continent that the British were dom
inating the conference.
Italian Feeling Strong.
The feeling at Ital'an headquarter
In London with respect to the presi
dent's action is strong. Unofficially
it ia spoken of as an attack upon
Italy and his memorandum is de
scribed as an ultimatum. The Italians
also feel that Italy's claims to con
sideration for her part in the war
and the sacrifices made have never
been quite appreciated by her allies.
The feeling in the Jugo-SIav camp
Is equally strong, but has the ele
ment of elation that the Slavs have
a strong champion. They feel that
they are at a disadvantage, because
Minister Trumbitch is outside the
councils of the powers and like th
Italians, have their own grievance
in that they consider that the fact
that they were in the war from the
Mart and that their country was
virtually ruined Is not to be given
the weight it deserves.
proposals of December would be val-
idated if the president would indicate i
how they were to be carried out.
"The receipt of President Wilson's
note on Friday," the Daily Mail con
tinues, "caused consternation in Great
, Britain. France and Italy. It is stated
that a reply was drafted, the terms of
which at the moment seemed fully
justified. As a matter of fact, two or
more drafts were prepared Saturday
and the council decided to sleep on its
proposals.
"Curiously enough, it was the
strongest of these drafts, upon which
it is stated David Lloyd George and
Premier Millerand were in perfect ac
cord, that was published in Paris. It
is certain the note handed to Ambas
sador Davis yesterday evening differs
materially from the version published
in Paris." . i
DARDANELLES XECTKALIZED
Supreme Council Decides Straits
. Shall Be International.
LONDON, Feb. 17. The internation
alization of the Dardanelles, which
had been forecast, was decided upo
definitely by the allied supreme coun
cil today. The details of the control
of the waterway, however, have not
been worked out.
One of the big questions to be de
cided is the policing of the straits,
and a knotty problem is as to who
will furnish the necessary troops.
Further than deciding that Constan
tinople is to remain under Turkish
control, the council has not drawn
definite boundary line.
At the afternoon session the coun
cil decided that the Bosphorus should
be internationalized the same as the
Dardanelles.
The preliminary consideration of
the Turkish question was completed
today and the drafting of the treaty
will be started immediately.
Great Britain, it was learned today,
has instructed Admiral de Robeck at
Constantinople to announce there that
the allies have decided not to deprive
Turkey of Constantinople. If the pes-
secution of the Armenians continues,
however, the admiral was instructed
to say, the peace treaty with Turkey
may be considerably modified.

that the United States never has
abandoned the contention that the
transfer to Italy of the "board walk"
along the Adriatic from Trieste to
Fiume and the possession of most of
Istria and Dal mat ia would not be ac
cepted. Whether the supreme council's re
ply to the presidents' note will be
made public has not been decided.
The president's communication has
been withheld, some officials' taking
the view that they did not wish to
add a possible complication to the sit
uation in Italy or any other country
by giving publicity to the exchanges
in advance of an entire agreement
between the principals.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. The oil
land leasing bill is now before the
president for signature. It was agreed
to by the house and senate conferees
February 2 and after being passea
by the house and senate was sent to
the president February 11. The bill
is expected to open for development
approximately 75 million acres of pub
lie domain in western states.
The bill affects oil. coal, gas. phos
phate, sodium and oil shale lands ana
is strictly a leasing measure, all pro
visions for outright sale having been
eliminated. Under the measure ap
proximately 44,000.000 acres of gov
ernment coal lands' albne would be
opened for development as well as
about 8,000,000 acres of oil lands.
The bill specifies only a minimum
royalty. In contested claims on oil,
70 per cent of the royalty received on
past production is to go to the re
clamation fund, 20 per cent to the
states in which the oil was produced
and 10 per cent to the government.
AU royalties derived from oil, gas,
coal, phosphate and sodium produced
in the future will be distributed 52
per cent to the reclamation fund, 37
per cent to the states and 10 per cent
to the government.

Zurchmer of Portland,
Rev. Mr. Snyder confessed that he
had voted for Wilson in 1916, after
going to his study in prayer about the
political situation and that he had
been praying for forgiveness much of
the time since. A platform was adopt
ed without a dissenting vote. It de
nounced the Wilson administration
for its sectionalism. Its catering to
socialists and agitators, its reckless
extravagance, its foreign policy, its
interference in Fiume and Shantung,
its uncompromising position on the
league of nations, its efforts to ob
tain the election of 1916 by celling out
to the railway brotherhoods and by
the fraudulent cry of keeping us out
of war.
For oil lands a maximum of 3200 acres
may be leased at a minimum royalty
of 12 per cent. The maximum coal
lands is 2560 acres with a minimum
royalty of 5 cents a ton. The same
acreage is prescribed for phosphate
and sodium, but 5120 acres of oil shale
land can be leased.
