WASHINGTON,
Feb. 17.—The
United States wil continue to sup
port the rights of the Jugo Slavs in
the dispute over Fiume, it was an- '
nounced today at the White House.
This government will not withdraw
from the Adriatic controversy, it was
stated.

American naval forces from the Ad-1
riatic would not be taken to mean
the United States will not interest
herself further in the matter there.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—Presi
dent Wilson’s communication to the
supreme council regarding the pro
posed Fium settlement, to which he
objects, is only ten lines in length
and was in no sense an ultimatum,
White House officials said today. It
was a reiteration of Wilson’s original
position on the Fiume question.
These statements followed a con
ference between President Wilson
and Secretary Tumulty.

LONDON, Feb. 17.—The final
draft of the allied reply to President
Wilson's Adriatic note will probably
be completed in today’s session of
the premiers, it was learned semi
officially. No intimation of the text
of the reply will be made to the pub
lic until it is received by the presi
dent, it is stated.
Meantime public opinion is some
what at sea regarding the real course
of events. Among the masses as a
result of the resignation of Lansing
and the Adriatic note President Wil-,
son’s prestige seems lower than at
any time since he appeared on the
interantional horizon.
From being
almost reverently worshipped as des-
tined to save the world, the opinion
of the president here has changed
until his name now brings only a
wondering smile from many of the
people.
-
On the other hand a large section
of the population, comprised mostly
of close observers and liberal think
ers, approve of the Adriatic note as
indicating the president has "come
back,” and may be able to force the
United States back into the arena of
European politics.
They regard the Adriatic note as
the first indication of this change
in the course of events in the United
States, and hope it may be possible
for the president to force through
a part of his original program, in
cluding co-operation in European af
fairs through the League of Na
tions.
