The Adriatic situation has taken the most serious turn In months fol lowing the Jugo-Slav reply, well in formed tibervrs here believe. The Jugo-Slav note, it is said, has post poned settlement of the Jugo-SIav-Italian dispute indefinitely. If the present attitude is maintained and the Jugo-Slavs say their note repre sents "last ditch concessions ob servers believe It means the dea'dlock will be tightened up again to its orlg- final tenseness. Possibility of a break of relations 1 etween Juuo-Slavia and Ita!V is in jected into the situation by statements of both the Jugo-Slav and Italian del- legations. While there is little ten- depey in well-informed circles to take st riously t he Jugo-Slav hint at war. it is admitted that the I'nited Jugo slav nation, headed by Serbia, repre sents a block which the allies cannot afford to ignore.
